    Dropbox for iOS

    I went with Dropbox when they had the most features. I don't know about how they fare feature-wise now but I do have box, dropbox, ms onedrive, and google drive. I find that Dropbox still seems to work best. I use it to hold documents I want to access from my phone, ipad, work pc and home pc...

    Best Weather app

    I like Yahoo for general weather info and tracking multiple cities. For hourly info and a map, I use Darksky.

    Question for iPhone users.

    Aha. I thought it was limiting their ability to go thinner.

    Question for iPhone users.

    I never use the headphone jack. My iphone connects to my car and home speakers via bluetooth. I prefer a shuffle/nano for yard work and the gym where I do use headphones. I could care less about a thinner phone though. I would like to see better battery life instead.

    evga gtx 970 ssc w/ acx2.0+ cooler $280 w/ fs @ newegg

    I'm picking one up to replace my GTX680. I run a 30" monitor so this may help a bit with double the memory and overclocking. Thanks for the post.

    Ads are starting to get out of hand

    I came here to say the same thing. I just turned adblock on for the site and will see about turning it off next week. The MSI ad obviously blocks material but the quantity of ads seems to have jumped tenfold. For the record, I use Windows 7 and see the issue in both Chrome and Firefox...

    iOS 8 released

    If you use USB and connect to your PC to update, then it is probably an issue with the USB connection. I had horribly slow backup and update times a couple of years ago and it turned out that a PC refresh (new mobo/CPU) fixed the problem. There was some issue with the way my old mobo handled...

    iOS 8 released

    I updated my iphone 5s and ipad 3 yesterday afternoon. The updates went smoothly and I had no space issues. Both devices had at least 2GB free prior to the update. I haven't had the chance to play with the ipad much yet but I did like that the browser bars minimized when scrolling down. That...

    iPhone Pre-order

    For the 5s, I just waited until later in the day. Every place sells out of the base phones but the rep I bought my phone from said they never have issues with selling out of the large storage ones (64GB for 5s and 128GB for the 6). Of course, this doesn't help if you want the 16GB version. I...

    Apple Watch

    I like my ipad and iphone but that watch is ugly. I hate wearing watches and would only consider moving to one if it completely replaced the need for a phone. I don't see that happening anytime soon. I could see using one at a gym if it could monitor my workout and play music to a bluetooth...

    Hype about Apple Pay

    I believe one of the original plans for marketing NFC on Android phones was the London Olympics in 2012. The plan was to use NFC for payments and the Underground. It turned out that NFC is too slow to be used for the metro turnstyle system so that marketing plan died.

    Apple CarPlay

    The reviews of it still indicate too many issues for my liking. It looks like I would need an additional $150 in cables to connect an iPhone 5s. Only supported apps will work through the connection. Apple's music app is one of the apps that doesn't play nice. To play back a playlist, you need...
