…Sign up to receive Wireless AMBER Alerts on your cell phone! I’m sure many of you must already know about this one, but I just found out about it tonight…..
For anyone who is not yet familiar with the AMBER Alert System, it’s a “quick response” system developed to get the word out when a [...]

Need some *ahem* protection for your Apple iPod, iPhone, or Keyboard? Then you have to check out iSkin’s Spring Cleaning Sale going on now to the end of April.
I have several of their keyboard skins (for both my PowerMac and PowerBook) - primarily because here in Arizona you just can’t stay ahead of the [...]

Well more like a “washing and drying” than a ‘licking’, but my point is that recently I was even MORE impressed with Apple’s iPhone…..
My significant other, Rod, was doing some laundry the other day (it’s his chore - mine is cooking), and he neglected to check the pockets of his jeans before they went into [...]

Anyone with an Apple iPhone knows by now that iTunes sells ringtones, and that iTunes version 7.4.2 made all the previous tricks for adding ringtones for free obsolete, [...]

Also, you no longer need any software to sync the custom ringtones you’ve created - iTunes will do [...]

Many cell phone users already know that they should have an ICE contact in their phone’s address book (for those that aren’t familiar, ICE stands for In Case [of] Emergency). This is frequently recommended by police and emergency rescue workers everywhere, who are now trained to check an accident victim’s cell phone when necessary [...]
