Woe to the fucking wicked.

So, I've heard good things about Zombies, Run!, but I don't have an iPhone. Does anyone know if it would be safe to run with an ipad mini (first generation)? Or will it do bad things to the...stuff? Memory? Other things?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This may be a stupid question, but do you have an Android phone? It's available for Android.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have only a dumb phone (as opposed to a smart phone).

Deb, I did an overview of ZR on my DW/LJ here: [link]

I kind of doubt it would work with an iPad, even a mini, because it needs the accelerometer to work. OTOH, if it works on the iPad, you could just listen to the story while exercising. Up to you. But check the website, or email them: they're pretty responsive.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It's one of their FAQs, and they say that it's not tested for tablets, but that people have successfully used it.

I can't imagine it would hurt the iPad unless you fell on it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, I determined that it does not have a spinny hard drive, and the presence of the accelerometer would seem to indicate that it's okay.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

In the early '90s, Quark boasted 95% market share. But its hurried and steady decline is one of the greatest business failures in modern tech.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Long shot question, cross posted with Natter:

Does anyone know of a source for buying out of date prepackaged software? We are looking for a version of particular biotech software from 2000, and it's not on ebay or Amazon, so I thought I would turn to the hivemind.
