Did we really make it this far into May before the madness set in? It would appear that way, has Aspyr has just now initiated their May Madness sale, in which Mac gamers will get a different deeply discounted game each day of the week. Today’s special is Prey, which is selling in the Mac App Store for only $2.99.

While Sparrow for iOS saw a new update just three few days ago, Sparrow for Mac has also been updated, bringing the app to v1.6 on the Mac App Store. The new version adds many user-requested features as well as some performance enhancements and other fixes. One major new feature in Sparrow for Mac 1.6 is the addition of support for POP email accounts, which is great for those who use the outdated protocol.

Finegrain has two incredible new iPad cases currently up for funding on Kickstarter: the Bowden and the Sheffield. Named after ancestors of the designers, these two cases blend luxe materials with precision engineering and an oddly eclectic minimalist aesthetic (think hippy blanket meets 2005′s iMac, or a MacBook Air in a handsome wood lined barrister’s office).

I’m a fan of stop motion animation. More specifically, I’m a fan of sword fighting skeletons, and no amount of CGI progress will ever make sword fighting skeletons look better than Ray Harryhausen’s animation work in Jason and the Argonauts. Creating such effects can be a lot of fun, and with Boinx’s iStopMotion for iPad, it’s pretty easy, too, although not quite as powerful as its OS X counterpart.

There have been countless rumors of a possible change in design for the next-gen iPhone that would add a bigger 4-inch screen. Apple has kept the design of the 3.5″ (diagonal) iPhone display intact since it was introduced in 2007, but a new report from The Wall Street Journal cites inside sources “familiar with the situation” saying the iPhone 5 will enter its production stage in June, and it will have a 4″ screen.

Influential Cars is an engaging little app for gearheads and perhaps others with an interest in or curiosity about automotive history and design. It’s relatively simple format is 50 pages of car photos accompanied by profiles of each model depicted. The selection of subjects is more eclectic than is often typical of such compilations, which appeals to me more than another review of familiar retinues of supercar exotics and unattainable classics.

You zapped birds with Skippy the Squirrel in Bird Zapper, and now they’re getting revenge on their defeat by sending swarms of bugs to your home in Bug Assault. Your goal in Bug Assault is to defend your home from bug invaders by using electricity to burn them to crispy critters.

Anyone who has owned an Apple iDevice has likely owned (or at least considering owning) an iSkin case at some point. Whether you have or haven’t, the company has released another product to attraction your attention, this time in the form of the Fuze and Fuze SE for the iPhone 4/4S. “Strong protection with sexy style,” iSkin claims in the press release.

WellRed Apps’ DropKey OS X app, released just last month, is very useful for encrypting and sharing your sensitive files. There is only one issue with the app: both the sender and recipient of said sensitive files need a copy of DropKey for everything to go smoothly. Previously, WellRed Apps was giving away a free license with every purchase of DropKey, but now the app is completely free for the next two days.
