Master the geometric world in Sketch Up for iPhone
Sketch Up is a fun little game where you must guide and combine shapes to match up similar shapes in the designated areas. The complexity of a shape is determined by its number of sides and you must combine shapes in specific ways to change its level of complexity.
Samsung Series 9 monitor and all-in-one eyes-on
And what of last year's Series 9 monitor? Samsung recycled the glossy, asymmetrical design, added a slot-loading Blu-ray drive and turned it into a high-end all-in-one. The 27-inch display has 1080p resolution, and the same kind of Ultra Clear panel Samsung uses in its televisions to make sure that glossy finish isn't too reflective. And though Samsung doesn't have too many specs to share, we know it has a quad-core Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, a TV tuner and an unspecified AMD graphics card with 1GB of video memory. As you'd expect, it also comes with a wireless mouse and keyboard, the latter of which has some surprisingly cushy keys, given the island layout and all. No word on pricing or availability, though a Samsung rep told us the company has no plans to bring this stateside.

Harry Connick Jr.'s musical to close on Broadway (AP)
NEW YORK ? Harry Connick Jr.'s latest Broadway venture is ending earlier than he hoped.
Producers of "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" said Thursday that the musical will play its final performance on Jan. 29.
When it closes, it will have played 29 preview and 57 regular performances.
The production has songs by Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner that made its debut on Broadway in 1965 and was adapted into a 1970 film starring Barbra Streisand and Yves Montand.
The musical got mostly poor reviews when it opened last month, leaving reviewers confused. Last week, it took in $584,711 at the box office, or only about 42 percent of its potential.
Connick's last time on Broadway was in a concert show. He also starred in "The Pajama Game."

Chinese dissident writer flees to US
Chinese dissident writer Yu Jie, who has been jailed and beaten, says harassment has forced him to move to the United States, possibly for good.
Yu told the South China Morning Post by email Thursday that he, his wife and son are staying with a church friend in Virginia.
Yu late Thursday told The Associated Press by telephone that he does not intend to return to China for at least a few years. He said he thinks Chinese authorities will not allow him back because he has accused them of torture and intends to write books on jailed Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo and Chinese President Hu Jintao.
He told the AP he was warned by Chinese authorities that if he wrote the books he could be jailed for publishing subversive material and tainting the image of China's Communist Party leaders.
Yu said he was detained several times in the last year and was beaten so badly that he passed out. He said he was also stopped from meeting friends and denied access to a computer.
"For a writer, being deprived of all freedom to communicate or express oneself is the worst thing that can happen, so I choose to live life in another way. Hopefully, here (in the U.S.) I can have a normal life and at least finish my work," he said.
Yu, who accused Premier Wen Jiabao of hypocrisy over democratic values in his book "China's Best Actor: Wen Jiabao," told the Post that he could not tolerate the increasing pressure from Beijing.
"My safety was seriously threatened," he said. Police had beaten him until he became unconscious when he was detained on Dec. 9, 2010, the eve of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony honoring jailed dissident Liu.
Yu said he believed his book and his close ties with Liu were major factors in Beijing's action against him.
"But I have no regrets over writing that book. What has happened to me just proves that my judgment about Wen was correct."
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said Thursday he was unaware of Yu and reports of his departure. "I don't know this person and I don't know how many people regard him as a famous writer," he said.

The Global Times newspaper ran a commentary Friday with the headline "Self-imposed exile reflects one's waning influence." It said Yu's departure "contradicts the trend of diversifying public opinions growing here."
Yu helped found the Independent PEN Center in China, which fights for freedom of expression, and is a Christian who has angered authorities by outspokenly advocating religious freedom.
In July, another outspoken Chinese writer, Liao Yiwu, fled China for Germany after police repeatedly threatened him with imprisonment to prevent him from publishing any more of his controversial works overseas. Liao said after arriving in Berlin that he was happy to move to a place where he could "speak and publish freely."
On Thursday, activist Hu Jia said police questioned him for about seven hours, criticizing him for his frequent comments on Twitter about sensitive subjects including the denial of visitors to prominent rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, who is serving a three-year jail sentence in China's remote Xinjiang region.
Hu said police were most concerned about a letter he wrote last month to the Nobel Peace Prize committee appealing for greater attention to the plight of Liu Xiaobo and his wife Liu Xia, who has been under house arrest for more than a year.
"It was a very official warning," Hu said, adding he was threatened with detention for up to 15 days.
