Android apps on your Mac or PC

Have you ever had a cool app that runs on your smartphone, but isn't available on your laptop?  It turns out there is a very easy, very flexible answer:  BlueStacks.  They have ported Google's Android operating system so that it runs as an application on either Windows PCs or Apple Macs. Of course, some of the support will be missing, like your phone's GPS, but for a lot of apps it works just fine.

If you're interested, visit BlueStacks and download the appropriate file.  It was surprisingly small and the install was quick.
