?What is Git
Git is an open source version control system. Git is developed and maintained by the creator of the Linux kernel. Git stores complete files each time the user commits his changes, making recovery and version-diffing reliable, responsive, and simple. This is in contrast to other version control systems which store complete versions as "Deltas" or descriptions of the changes between versions of a file. If a file has not changed between commits then Git simply links to the last changed version.
Git was developed following a dispute with the author of the BitKeeper version control system used in the development of the Linux kernel. Since no other open-source version control system existed which matched BitKeeper's performance it was decided to design a new system from the ground up. The first stable Git release was announced less than nine months from the first line of code having been written. After Git's initial jump to maturity, there have been no need for additional features and few bugs to fix. Therefore, Git has remained in the 1.x branch for over six years and there are no plans for a Git 2.0 release.

As a side-effect of being written by an OS kernel developer, Git functions much like a file system. Additionally, Git enjoys many low-level optimizations in regard to network performance. This makes Git an ideal open-source inplementation of off-site home-directory versioning and backup, similar to Apple's Time Machine. However, no intuitive GUI or file manager integration exists for Git so command-line control of versioning and backup restoration is still necessary.
What is Appspy?
Appspy.com is an iPhone game review website. Founded in February 2010 by Australian media production firm Hyper Focus Media, Appspy provides objective game reviews, iPhone news, and application price tracking. Price drop notification is provided on both a subscription and non-subscription basis. Users can register to be notified via email of price changes in games which they've tagged, or can simply browse the "Latest Price Drop" panel to find deals. Additionally, registered users can comment on reviewed applications and share their opinions with other users. With 19 categories of games and a rate of almost 4000 game reviews per month, Appspy is quickly becoming one of the most recognized and respected independent iPhone and iPad game review websites in the Apple iDevice user community.

In addition to written reviews, Appspy also produces detailed video reviews of iPhone games which demonstrate gameplay, features, and even the occasional bug. Videos clearly show the application loading and being used in an interactive manner, providing the viewer with real-life perception of the game's responsiveness and UI quirks. Instead of the standard screencast method, Appspy videos show user interaction with the application via shadowed fingers touching a clear iPhone screen, filmed from above the device. Despite the analogue nature of this method, the content is crystal clear and there is no perceived loss of screen clarity in the videos. The inclusion of the user's fingers interacting with the device provide valuable insight into the game's responsiveness and character.
