While its main purpose is to organize and provide you with alerts, Notification Center also contains widgets to provide additional, glance-able information. Currently, that includes the Weather and Stocks widgets. If the default content isn't what you want, you can easily change the weather and stock information shown in the widgets. If you don't need them, you can remove one or both, add them back later, or simply change their positions within Notification Center,

How to enable or disable the Weather or Stocks widget

1. Launch the Settings app from your Home screen.
2. Tap Notifications.

3. Scroll down and tap on the Weather or Stocks widget.

4. Toggle the slider to Off to disable the widget, and to On to re-enable it.

How to reposition the Weather or Stocks widget in Notification Center

1. Launch the Settings app from your Home screen.
2. Tap Notifications.

3. Tap the Edit button in the top right of the Notifications menu.

4. Touch and hold the "gripper" icon to the right of the Weather or Stocks widget and drag it to the position you'd like.

5. Tap the Done button in the upper right hand corner.

How to change the location shown in the Weather widget in Notification Center

By default, the Weather app is set to local weather. Since iOS knows roughly where you are (via cell towers, GPS, and Wi-Fi router mapping, depending on the device you're using), if you're in Rome, it knows to show you the weather for Rome. You can override this, however, and show weather information for any location you like.

First you need to turn off location services for the Weather app

• Launch Settings from your Home screen.
• Tap Location Services.
• Toggle Weather to Off.

Once location based weather is off, Notification Center will show you the weather for whichever place is listed first in your Weather app. If it's not already the one you want, you can easily change it.

• Launch the Weather app from your Home screen.
• Tap the Info icon in the bottom right hand corner.
• Tap the + button at the upper right and search for any location you wish to add..
• Touch and hold the "gripper" icon on the right of the location you want shown in Notification Center and drag it to the top.

From now on, that's the weather you'll see in Notification Center. To change it back, simply turn location based weather back on in Settings.

How to add stocks from the Stocks widget in Notification Center

Notification Center shows you the information for any and all stocks currently contained in your Stocks app. So, to add stocks to what Notification Center shows you, you have to add them to what you have set up in the built-in Stocks app.

• Launch the Stocks app from your Home screen.
• Tap the Info icon in the bottom right hand corner.
• Tap the red Delete icon and then the red Delete button that appears to remove a stock from Stocks and Notification Center.
• Repeat for any additional stocks you want to remove.
• Tap the blue Done button in the top right corner.

How to remove stocks from the Stocks widget in Notification Center

To remove stocks from Notification Center, you likewise have to remove them from the built-in Stocks app

• Launch the Stocks app from your Home screen.
• Tap the Info icon in the bottom right hand corner.
• Tap the + button in the top right corner to add a stock to the Stocks app and Notification Center.
• Type in the name or stock ID for the stock you want to add.
• Tap the stock from the search list that appears.
• Repeat for any additional stocks you want to add.
• Tap the blue Done button in the top right corner.

AT&T has just launched a new webpage that allows you to request a SIM unlock for an out of contract iPhone. AT&T has always made it reasonably difficult to unlock a device on its network but now it seems to be softening its approach and actually trying to make it easier for iPhone users. The form is fairly simple to fill in and if you meet a few simple requirements you can have your iPhone unlocked in 5-7 days.

To qualify for the free unlock from AT&T, you must either be a current AT&T customer or a former AT&T customer who can provide the phone number or account number of the account. The iPhone to be unlocked must have been designed for use on the AT&T network and all contract obligations must have been fulfilled. Also the iPhone in question must not have been reported lost or stolen.

AT&T will unlock up to five iPhones per year per account as long as the account is in good standing. Additionally, AT&T will also unlock any active and deployed member of the military who can provide AT&T with deployment verification; and purchased the iPhone from an authorized location at the "no commitment" price and can provide proof of purchase.

If you meet all of the criteria, you are good to go and can request an unlock online without the need to talk to anyone at AT&T customer service. Anyone with an out of contract iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS considering selling to fund the iPhone 5 when it is released, should take advantage of this free service from AT&T. Having your device unlocked officially by AT&T will certainly increase its value and salability.

Hulk SMASH puny iPhone and iPad in Avengers Initiative, Infinity Blade-style brawler from Marvel

Avengers Initiative is Infinity Blade starring the Incredible Hulk. At least right now. Marvel, their parent company Disney, and developer Wideload promise more Avengers will be assembling to join the fray in future updates, including Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, and the Black Widow. If that sounds a lot like the cast of this summer's blockbuster Avengers movie, directed by Joss Whedon, that's probably not a coincidence. This is meant to be mainstream superhero game, but it hides a ton of comic geek love inside as well.

The story starts off simply, and familiarly for anyone who's read Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers series. Instead of the Raft, however, it's the Vault that gets broken wide open, but rest assured a slew of villains still escape to wreak havoc on the Marvel Universe. Instead of assembling a new team of popular, if non-traditional characters like Wolverine and Spider-Man to track them down, however, Ultimate Nick Fury calls on the classic roster. And first up is the Hulk.

Hulk is given one job and one job only in this game, and I'm sure you can already guess what it is -- SMASH!

More precisely, to track 'em and pack 'em for SHIELD to come and collect. And that's where the Infinity Blade part comes in. I don't know if it's licensed from Chair and Epic, but either way, that's what it is.

With Avengers Initiative, however, Wideload has added an extra layer of sophistication. You have to have more precise timing to succeed with Avengers Initiative than you did with Infinity Blade. You have to block and dodge and parry nearly perfectly, and then counter without missing a beat. It makes every battle both more challenging and engaging, because you literally can't take your attention away for a micro-second. And that makes for a mixed bag.

For advanced gamers, it's a better, sharper experience. For casual gamers, however, it's a more frustrating, more difficult one. You can't just swipe and slash your way to victory. You have to earn it. (And then some, because the detection isn't always perfect.)

There's another problem brought over from Infinity Blade -- repetitive enemies. Right from the start you have to fight two Kronans (remember Korg from Planet Hulk?) and two Skrulls (what became the Chitauri in the Avengers movie, though equally absent their shape-changing powers) back-to-back before you even get to the first boss-level bad guy, a Wendigo (think cannibal Sasquatch). iOS is a constrained platform and models are expensive, but variety is the spice of gaming, especially when you want to lure in a brand new gamer.

It's also awkward. Hulk isn't made of strategy and tactics. Hulk is made of rage. Hulk doesn't block or dodge or parry Skrulls. He flicks them away like you would a gnat. The Infinity Blade format might have suited Captain America more than Hulk, at least at the beginning levels. But let's chalk that up to artistic license and move on.

For added depth, you have a full-on leveling system available to you, and you can increase health, damage, stamina, and rage as you collect experience. You can also buy new powers. You start out with World Breaker and you can buy more as your purple crystal collection grows. You can also buy costumes straight from the comics, everything from King Hulk to Fear Itself Hulk to Maestro Hulk to... you get the idea. Items like medical packs and rage boosts, augments, and more are all for sale.

Which brings us to the in-app purchases. Avengers Initiative costs $6.99 up-front, and you can collect purple crystals in the game as you go. Like any enterprising title these days, however, you can also spend money in-lieu of time. Want 10,000 crystals? $0.99 and they're yours. Want 800,000 crystals? $49.99 will get them for you. Want to level up? $1.99. Want to redistribute? $4.99. No questions asked. (Tell 'em Joe Fixit sent you.)

Balancing those who want to win at gaming vs. those who just want to win a game is tricky. I like the option to pay my way, even if I choose not to use it.

As mentioned above, there will also be additional characters added to the game in the future, which should increase replay value substantially. It'll be interesting to see how Wideload balances their various abilities with in-game play as well. They may all be persons of mass-destruction, but their payloads clearly vary. A lot. Black Widow and Hawkeye are highly trained humans, but they're still humans. Captain America is a super soldier -- the ultimate human -- but still human. Iron Man is one-man Air Force, however. And Thor's a Norse god. It's the classic Batman/Superman problem. How does something that can go toe-to-toe with the Hulk not turn Hawkeye to paste at the slightest incidental contact? Will Marvel and Wideload have an answer for that, or will we simply have to suspend disbelief as usual.

Back to the Hulk. The graphics here are outstanding. Marvel claims console quality and while that's not exactly true compared to the latest, greatest Play Station 3 games, they do look fantastic on the Retina display iPhones and iPad. There's a touch of lag at times on the new iPad, but the quality and quantity of pixels they're pushing is impressive.

It's also a lot of fun. If you ever played the old Xbox Hulk game -- the free-world one where you just walked around and smashed the living hell out of an entire city -- there's a taste of that here. You're the strongest one there is, and you get to unleash it. The World Breaker. The Green Scar. The Sakaarson. He's come home to iOS. And soon, his friends will be coming with him.

The good

• What, are you kidding me, HULK + SMASH!
• Gorgeous graphics
• Lots of depth
• Tons of stuff for comics geeks

The bad

• Could be overly challenging for casual players
• Repetitive villains

The bottom line

Avengers initiative is good but not great, and will appeal to fans more than regular folks. If you love Marvel, the Avengers, and the Hulk, get Avengers Initiative and revel in it. If you like fighting games in general, and Infinity Blade in particular, you'll get a lot of the same action here, but with a new flavor that's more challenging if not quite as smooth or balanced.

If you could care less about the Hulk or Infinity Blade, and are just looking for a new game to try, Avengers Initiative may not be for you. It's not as casual-gamer friendly as some other games, and requires tolerance and perseverance to get into. You might be happier with something sporting a frowning fowl on the splash screen.

Animal Puzzle for Kids by Play Toddlers for iPhone and iPad is a fun app filled with up to 24 animal jigsaw puzzles. The puzzles are very simple and clearly targeted toward young children. You can choose the difficulty of the level (number of pieces) based on the skill of your child. Animal Puzzle is not only adorable, but a lot of fun and if you play with your kids, you can teach them about animals and the sounds they make at the same time!

The free version of Animal Puzzles comes with 7 puzzles (lion, zebra, alligator, hippo, giraffe, monkey, and pig). Each puzzle has three difficulty levels to choose from. Level one turns the picture into a 4 piece puzzle, level two uses 6 pieces, and the third level uses 9 pieces. While playing with Animal Puzzle, there is fun, bouncy music playing in the background that every child is sure to love. My 2 year old daughter dances every time she hears it.

When you finish a puzzle, the leaves in the background will swing back and forth as if they are dancing and cheering you on. I think it would be great if the appropriate animal sound was played upon completion as well, but I could see how that might be difficult for animals like the crab and octopus.

For just $0.99, you can purchase 17 more puzzles to have a total of 24 puzzles. These puzzles include a donkey, sheep, cow, chicken, duck, snow leopard, reindeer, St. Bernard, seal, polar bear, penguin, crab, octopus, fish, whale, sea horse and starfish.

The good

• Fun animal puzzles with fun music
• Includes 7 puzzles for free
• Can choose to have 4, 6, or 9 pieces in the puzzles
• Purchase 17 more puzzles for only $0.99 for a total of 24 puzzles

The bad

• No animal sounds

The conclusion

Animal Puzzle for Kids by Play Toddlers is a fantastic little jigsaw puzzle app for young children. My favorite feature is actually the fact that it lacks a bunch of features. If a toddler app has too many features, then the young user can easily get lost and accidentally perform functions they didn't mean to. The simplicity of Animal Puzzle makes it a perfect app for little learners.
