Alibi app – Your phone can be a witness on your behalf to help resolve disputes in your favor

Posted on May 22, 2017

alibi-appHave you ever lost a court case or had people believing you said something you didn’t say simply because someone else just flat-out lied or became confused about what they heard or saw?

Or have you ever forgotten critical details of an important discussion or meeting and had that fuzzy memory come back to bite you at a later date?

Well, unfortunately these things happen all the time.

But now there is a simple way to ensure that you always have a “witness” to back up your side of the story whenever you happen to need one. Simply install a wonderful free app called Alibi on your Android phone and keep it running in the background.  [Read more…]

ATTN iPhone Users: Your favorite app might stop working after Apple releases iOS 11.

Posted on May 12, 2017

Do you have a favorite app that you’ve been using on your iPhone or other iOS device for years?

If so, there’s a chance that it might stop working after you update your device to iOS 11 after it’s released this fall.

Apple is planning to end support for legacy 32 bit apps beginning with the release of iOS 11. That means any 32 bit apps that you’re currently using will stop working on your devices after you update them to iOS 11.  [Read more…]

Skip those irritating voice mail instructions and go right to the beep!

Posted on April 26, 2017

cell-phone-keypadIf you’re like me you probably hate calling someone who doesn’t answer, especially if you need to leave a message.

Before you get to that magic beep, you first have to wait while the voice mail system plays the recipient’s personal greeting, and then you have to listen for another eternity while it tells you how to leave a message.

If you’re wondering why all the major cell carriers require us to listen to the same boring voice mail instructions over and over again before allowing us to leave a simple message, it’s because it makes them a ton of money!  [Read more…]

Take your iPhone photography to a new level with an off-camera flash

Posted on April 20, 2017

nova-off-camera-flashThe most recent iPhones are notorious for taking outstanding photos that rival those taken by expensive point-and-shoot cameras. And I must say that I have seen some pretty spectacular images that were captured with them.

But as most any professional photographer will tell you, it’s difficult to take professional quality photos in low-light situations using just the camera’s built-in flash unit. To get a truly magnificent image under those conditions, one must use an off-camera flash.

Photographers have been using off-camera flash units with their expensive DSLR and high-end point and shoot cameras for years, and now iPhone users have that option as well.

The awesome Nova Off-Camera Wireless Flash for iPhone will provide that all-important flash of supplemental light to give your iPhone photos a crisp and bright professional look.  [Read more…]

Want faster Internet on your smart phone or tablet? Use Opera Mini!

Posted on March 8, 2017

opera-mini-logoIf you use the standard web browser that came pre-installed on your smart phone, you’re wasting your time. And I mean that literally. That’s why you need Opera Mini.

Opera Mini is a lean, super-fast version of the popular Opera web browser that loads web pages and photos much faster than the standard mobile web  browser.

It achieves these faster speeds by compressing all the images on a web page right on a dedicated Opera server, then sends the optimized pages to your phone. When you first click a link you’ll notice a slight delay while the server is optimizing the images, but then you’ll see the page load onto your screen in a jiffy. [Read more…]
