It would appear this is the case on both Android and iPhone platforms. Recently my daughter told me that the Sprint rep told her to remove Facebook from her Android phone because it destabilizes the platform. He said it also quickly sucks down power. I handed my iPhone 4s to a friend last night at

I’ve worked in technology for over 36 years. I’m picky as hell. I’ve been looking for a new all-in-one (AIO) printer for a while. I’ve tried Epson, Canon, Lexmark. I never tried Brother.
