GameFly, the Netflix for video games, has launched an online shop for PC game downloads. Subscribers of GameFly have unlimited access to play hundreds of Windows games. And for a limited time, non-subscribers can download BioShock for free.

If you need some help organizing lists for the holidays, try the Evernote app. It's been updated for iOS to make it easier to find notes.

AT&T is allowing FaceTime video calls over its network for customers with tiered data plans using LTE (that includes the iPhone 5 and latest iPads). Before, AT&T only offered that feature to Apple users with the new shared data plans. Those with an old unlimited data plan still won't be able to use FaceTime over AT&T's network. Tiered data customers with older iPhones are also limited to Wi-Fi only.
