After going back to the iPhone, I started to miss using a Mac for my desktop. I have an older iMac but it’s just too slow/old. I have a nice i7 iMac at work but it doesn’t have SSD (once you go SSD, it’s kind of hard to use anything else). I have a very…
I’ve been hearing nothing but great feedback from a hosting company called A Small Orange. I’ve been curious about them for a few months now and this morning I created an account. I’m leaving Hostmonster because I noticed my websites have been loading slow. At work (different account), it has been slow as well. It…
I first had my taste of iOS back with the iPhone 3G with AT&T. The phone experience was great, but the service coverage was horrible. Unfortunately, that tainted my feelings towards iOS and ever since then I changed cell phone provider and used Android OS. Years later and a handful of frustrations, I decided to…
I’ve been messing around with our old iPhone 3G a while ago and I did something to brick it. Now I can’t get it restored back. Every time I try, I get the 1015 error. From what I’ve read, it has something to do with the baseband version not matching with what iTunes is expecting….
I recently picked up an iPhone 5S running iOS 7. My wife and I use Google Calendar to share each other’s schedule. She was able to see my calendar on her iPhone 5 (iOS 6) but it disappeared when she upgraded to iOS 7. Here’s how you can get it back. All you have to…
I have been using smart phones powered by Android for many years now. My first Android phone was myTouch Slide 3G. It was a great phone with a built-in keyboard. Next, I had the Sensation 4G. Another great phone from HTC. Sense UI is great as well. The third Android phone I had was the…
Newegg recently had a sale on the Rosewill N900PCE dual band wireless card. I thought I would try them out since I switched out my router to an Asus RT-N66R. The package came with everything you’ll need, even a low-profile bracket. Here’s some pics I took during my unboxing. Sadly the performance didn’t live up…
I recently purchased an Ematic EGP007 from Altatac. It was refurbished and was a very good price. It ran Android 4.0. Upon receiving it, the tablet never worked. I turn it on and it would just freeze during boot up. Altatac refunded my money without any problems, kudos to them. A few days later they…
After weeks of researching and test driving, here is my notes and observations. Please keep in mind that the features and options I mention are not the full list. It’s merely what stood out to me. We currently have a 2004 Acura TL with navigation and a 2011 Toyota Prius Package 3 with navigation. So…
I’ve been using Amazon S3 service for quite some time. It’s a cost effective service for backing up files in the cloud. You pretty much pay what you use. I mainly use S3 for backing up my photos – both digital and scanned. At the time I wrote this post (June 2013), I am using…
