It’s not exactly easy to keep oneself fit nowadays, is it? When we wired our whole world to the Internet, when we ensured everybody and his uncle was connected to a computer, we seem to have neglected a very pressing concern with the whole setup- a sedentary lifestyle such that many of us have nowadays [...]
Today’s small businesses have access to truly amazing technologies and resources that would have seemed like science fiction just three decades ago.

If you’re looking to pass the time and you have a cell phone, and a few dollars to spare, have I got some news for you. Assuming you’ve already grown tired of Angry Birds and Infinity Blade, there’s an entire library of literally hundreds of titles out there on which you can pass the time. Of [...]
Whatever the reason, you want to take a look at your phone through your computer screen. Maybe you busted up the LCD a touch, and not everything’s as readable as you’d like it to be. Could be you’re looking to take some screen shots, or stream some footage for a blog post or social site. [...]
There is simply no denying the popularity of the Amazon Kindle. The eReader from tech giant Amazon.com has quickly gained aficionados from across the globe, thanks to the system’s easy to use downloading system and the relatively inexpensive price of the device.

The enterprise sector’s been experiencing something of a crisis, of late. See, more and more employees have been rejecting the notion of using company-provided devices, and just opting to work on their own smartphones and tablets. And that’s great! More power to them! Trouble is…this is wreaking havoc with data security, as many of these [...]
You use it for your toast, but it’s also used for thermal comparisons when it comes to smartphones – butter. Yes, really. As stated in the video, butter melts at 35C, and that just happens to be a really good way of showing how hot a phone actually runs when its processor is working really [...]
Here’s a example situation which I hope none of you ever encounter: You’re in a car wreck, and alive, but knocked out cold.

So, here’s the situation… You want to send a text message, but for whatever reason, you can’t. Maybe your cell phone reception is poor enough that you might as well be in a lead box. Maybe you were forcibly reminded why leaving your phone on the floor is a bad idea. Perhaps you lost it, [...]
New York and Pennsylvania had a Nor’easter dumped on them this month. Yes, this month. In April: Ridiculous. Not the video, just the snow. Anyway.. Generally speaking, electronics can handle cold-to-hot (meaning cold and not freezing-to-hot) fairly well, but with hot-to-cold, the problem you’ll encounter more often than not are "stiff" power connectors for those [...]
