I am going to put a hold on my "Privacy, Security, And You" post for now. I don't know how late I am to this party, but for a lot of phones that were difficult to root in the past are now one touch rootable. Now, please, please, please. Do not go trying to root your phone with out reading, knowing, and understanding what you are doing. 'Gingerbreak' on xda forums In fact, I'll go right out and

How we share and send information can range from a convenient and fun way to show how awesome your life is with vacation pictures or it can be an anxiety bomb trying to get school work or time sensitive documents to your professor (or boss) on time and in the correct format. When I was in Elementary School if you wanted to get information from one computer to another you'd have to whip out a 5¼

I couldn't help but noticed that there was a recent Life Hacker post listing the "top 10" ways iOS out does android. I felt it would be great to supplement my previous post by addling a bit of a response to that. While in my previous post I tried to stay neutral to it and show the merits and short comings of each, I didn't really mention the strengths of iPhone, which Adam

Good to see that we all survived the rapture. Let's move on. In the past 10 or so years smartphones have become cheaper, faster, powerful, and well ...smarter. If you're still using a dumb phone (oh and, a qwerty keyboard doesn't make a phone smart.It's just one of the best marketing buzzwords to get people to overpay for nearly useless devices in the past decade). I'm going to make a pretty

I've been trying to decide a good first actual post should be about, when I read another annoying article about why PCs are so much better and cheaper and more efficient than macs and another article blabbing on and on about how much better macs are and outright lying about a lot.
