You'll now be able to add a comment just after completing your drawing.

Draw Something (iPhone|Android) hit it big at the iTunes App Store by following a simple concept: Draw a picture that describes a word, then send it to a friend to guess the word. The game took off immediately at the iTunes App Store for its close resemblance to board game Pictionary, but there were still rumblings from users of features that could make it better.

Today, Zynga released an update (for both iOS and Android) that brings many of those features to the game and should spark another resurgence in the top paid apps list. Probably the biggest feature is that you'll now be able to send comments along with your drawings. After you finish your drawing and touch done, the app brings up a field so you can send a comment along with it. Once sent, you go on to another screen that lets you post your drawing to Twitter or Facebook, or you can touch a disc icon to save it to your camera roll.

Players will also appreciate the new undo last line feature. I can't tell you how many times I've been frustrated with having to erase a last line (I'm a terrible artist) only to draw it badly... [Read more]

Path's posting options swing open when you tap the + sign on the bottom left.

At a time when Facebook seems to keep adding apps, curating news feeds, and pushing users to connect with as many other users as possible, Path, the blossoming social-sharing app for iOS and Android, is doing just the opposite. It's trying to keep things small and simple.

While the idea of social networking on a smaller scale may seem strange, it makes a lot more sense once you get to know Path. With no brand pages, groups, event invitations, or Bejeweled requests to clutter its experience, this young social network is all about sharing personal moments with loved ones. That's it. That's why it limits the number of connections you can have to 150 (a number that Path believes is the average number of true friends a person has in life).

As with any other social network, getting started on Path means creating an account and populating a profile. Your name, e-mail address, and a photo will do, but you can also add your phone number and birthday. Like Google Plus and Facebook, Path gives you a slot for a cover photo, where you can upload something a little artsier than your standard head shot.

Once you're all set up, the first thing you should notice... [Read more]

Well, now I know that the brightest part of the aura surrounding Olivia Newton-John in “Xanadu” is soft purple. I can sleep better now.

1979: I might have had a crush on her, but that didn't change the fact that she was wrong. My classmate Stacy mocked me for coloring a clown's lips green instead of red. I asked our kindergarten teacher to please explain to my cute but misinformed friend that she was wrong.

"Actually, Jeffrey," she said, "Stacy's right. This is green."

Thus, in short order, I learned some things:

• I was red-green color-blind.
• So was my maternal grandfather.
• I may as well throw crayons away if the wrappers come off, since reading the name was the only way I could be sure what color I had.

The thing of it is, I see colors; just not always the right ones.

The main drawback of this for me (aside from never being able to work on a bomb squad, at least not more than once) is that with all the confusion I had with colors, it was hard to, you know, learn the right names for the right colors. True story: last week, I had to Google "chartreuse" when my son asked me what color it was.

When I'm drawing and I want to color, or if I'm (God forbid) wearing a shirt and tie, I have to ask whomever happens to be around to spot-check me on... [Read more]

Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion

Available only to registered Mac developers, build 12A178q of Mountain Lion comes with a laundry list of fixes and minor tweaks. The release notes also list the known issues that are still being worked on by Apple (including issues with both Quicktime and Game Center) and directions for developers to submit bug reports as they explore the new build.

Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (read our first take from February) is expected to be launched to the public sometime this summer, only one year after the release of OS X Lion, making it Apple's fastest major OS update so far, and requiring a faster turnaround on fixes than ever before.

Check back with CNET for more information about Mountain Lion as the release date draws closer this summer.

Chrome Cloud Print now supports FedEx Office locations.

Google's Cloud Print in Chrome might not be for everybody, but if you're on the go and must print something in a hurry -- and in the United States -- it could be exactly the service you want thanks to a new partnership with FedEx Office.

Cloud Print will now offer a "Print to FedEx Office" option so that you can print from Chrome directly to a FedEx Office location (formerly known as Kinko's). When you use it, Google says that you'll receive a retrieval code for use on any FedEx Print and Go self-service kiosk. FedEx Office has more than 1,800 stores around the U.S.

With this update, Canon printers have been added to Google's list of Cloud Print Ready options, and Chrome for Android beta can now be used as a destination to send documents via Cloud Print. It's not really clear at this time how that's better than just using Google Docs to access a document on your phone or tablet, but being able to print work documents or concert tickets on the fly could be immensely useful as necessary.

Amazon's Kindles.

Amazon is now the proud owner of North America licensing rights to Ian Fleming's James Bond series.

The online company announced yesterday that it now has a 10-year license to sell all 14 of Fleming's classic James Bond titles, including "Casino Royale," "Dr. No," and "The Spy Who Loved Me." The company will start publishing the titles this summer under its mysteries and thrillers imprint, Thomas & Mercer. In addition, Amazon says that it will offer the books in digital form in its Kindle Store.

"We are excited to be using the opportunity of this re-license to introduce Ian Fleming's books to a broader audience in the USA, and we believe that Amazon Publishing has the ability to place the books back at the heart of the Bond brand, balancing traditional publishing routes with new technologies and new ways of reaching our readers," Corinne Turner, Managing Director of Ian Fleming Publications, said in a statement.

But there's far more to this story than meets the eye. According to an Amazon spokeswoman who spoke to the Wall Street Journal yesterday, the ... [Read more]
