I admit, I did not make much use of the “Do Not Disturb” setting on my iPhone when it first appeared. But Apple’s commercials for the Do Not Disturb on iOS feature with the Williams sisters playing ping pong caught Sarah’s attention, and she insisted I learn how to maximize the setting. Apparently my iPad and [...]

Getting Fit with MyFitnessPal and GAIN Fitness
I have a confession: I am out of shape. Up until this past fall, I was doing great. I was running consistently, eating right, everything was great. But we sold our house, temporarily moved in with my parents, and are buying another house, all while juggling everything else in life. It’s been more than a [...]
Game Play Puts Game Boy Games on iPhone 5 Without Jailbreaking
Have you ever longed for the days of your childhood you spent with your eyes glued to the black and grey screen of the Nintendo Game Boy? Did you pride yourself on beating Super Mario Land? I know I did. I don’t know how many countless AA batteries I drained with that handheld. Now, with [...]

Apple Releases iOS 6.1 with iTunes Match Song Downloads and More
Have you ever just wanted to download ONE song from an album on iTunes Match so you can listen on the go? It simply didn’t happen … until now! Today Apple released iOS 6.1 with a number of improvements (and likely even more unannounced improvements). These include support for 36 additional LTE carriers for iPhone [...]
How to Listen to Text on Your iOS Device
Remember the commercial that went something like “Reading is fundamental”? It is but there are some times when it is far better to listen to an email or a document than read it. I had done this via an iOS app but then I learned that iPhones, iPads and iPod touches have the capability built [...]
Create Shortcuts in iOS, Your Gear 101
One terrific (but often unused) tool baked right into iOS is the ability to create keyboard shortcuts. With them, you can type in just a few brief letters and have a much longer piece of text appear in the body of whichever document you are working on. They are particularly useful when you have a [...]
How to Get Your Google Contacts onto Your iPhone
In the past week, we’ve heard results from AT&T and Verizon, and in the particular case of Verizon which had iPhones account for TWO THIRDS of its smartphone sales, 20% of those sales went to former Android users. I have detailed my years long Android exclusivity, which just ended in late December with the purchase [...]
View 3D Content in Real 3D with USBFever’s 3D Telescope for iPhone!
Back when I was a kid, I received a fascinating toy, the GAF Talking View-Master®, a stereographic viewer where users put a disc with nearly duplicate pictures on opposite sides that, when viewed, showed the composite image in 3D. The Talking View-Master had the added bonus of a clear phonographic disc that played narration, music [...]
In the Midst of Some iPhone Rumors, Here is my iPhone wishlist.
I’m not picky. All I wanted in an iPhone before I finally made the switch from Android to iPhone was a bigger screen and 4G capability. The iPhone 5 had both; I jumped all over it and haven’t looked back since. But those were my requirements for jumping the Android ship; others might have had [...]

While these small cameras are pretty good, a little software [...]
Record Numbers of Devices Activated on Christmas, iPad and Amazon Tablets Big Winners
It is not terribly surprising that oodles of new devices were opened up and activated on Christmas morning – in fact, we had three new iPhone 5 activations in our house alone! The site Flurry.com tracks and estimates the daily activations of iOS and Android devices, and is reporting that more than 17 million activations [...]
Bike Baron for iPhone Review
iPhone and iPad apps for anyone on a budget. Nothing over $.99! Even though I have very little free time during football season, everyone needs something to ease their mind and take a short break. As of late, I have enjoyed a few iPhone games that seem to follow the common theme of driving. There [...]
Apple Releases iOS 6.0.2 Software Update to Fix iPhone 5, iPad Mini WiFi Bug
I wrote here about the iOS 6 WiFi bug that seemed particularly bad on the iPad Mini. Well, things haven’t improved, and many folks have been struggling with WiFi on their iPad Mini and iPhone 5 since release. For me, I managed to work around everything, but then last week suddenly I couldn’t connect to [...]
