The QR code is a Quick Response Code. It's similar to an old-fashioned barcode or UPC code in that it can store an unlimited amount of info within a symbol, and a quick scan of that symbol reveals a wealth of info that is helpful. A QR code is better because: 1. It can be used by individuals (rather than just stores and manufacturers) to hold an unlimited amount of data, photos, and videos; 2. It can be regularly updated to reflect timely, new info; and 3. It's a quick way to get … [Read more...]
Before I got my new Motorola Droid X phone, I had an iPhone 3. Back then, I wrote about all of my favorite iPhone apps -- to help newbies figure out which ones might be worth exploring. (I also touched on the best iPhone game apps for non-gamers.) Now, I'll share my favorite Android apps. I've also been asking friends what their favorite Droid apps are. It's interesting to see what's important to some, what's not important to others, and where people put their priorities in terms of … [Read more...]
I recently got a Motorola Droid X smartphone. I cannot tell you how much I am completely in love with the Android phone! But then, I really dig gadgets & electronics in general, so it's not all that surprising. Before this, I had an iPhone 3.0. For the 2 years I had it, I absolutely loved that phone too! Here's why I like the Droid X better than the iPhone... My Switch From iPhone To Android Phone When the Android phones first came out, I knew from the get-go that … [Read more...]
I don't play games on my cellphone (an iPhone) very often. However, I do enjoy board games, word games, and Tetris-type "clear the board" games. That said, I LOVE these iPhone apps that I found under the Games category in the Apple store! Since I'm no gamer, I thought maybe others who simply wanted to add a few fun time-wasters onto their iPhones might appreciate this info. (See the type of iPhone apps I prefer, instead of games.) Here's why I think the following iPhone game apps are … [Read more...]

If you've lost your cell phone (or more likely, just temporarily misplaced it), you can enter your cell phone number at Where's My Cell Phone and your phone will ring right away. Then, all you have to do is listen for the ring, and see where that ring is coming from! Of course you could also call your cell phone number from a land line or a friend's cell phone. But if neither of those options is available to you, then this free service would come in really handy! I heard about this … [Read more...]
Years ago when TV screens were made of glass, it was easy to clean a TV screen with simple glass cleaner (like Windex) and a couple of paper towels. However, today's modern video screens are made differently. As a result, extra care must be taken when cleaning flat screen TVs and computer monitors. Harsh chemicals such as ammonia or alcohol can do serious damage to LCD screens, plasma TVs, computer monitors, and smartphones. This also includes all laptop computers and portable video … [Read more...]
I've had an iPhone for 4 months now. Before that, I had the standard no-frills Motorola Razr phone. During these first 4 months, I've spent a good deal of time researching just about every single iPhone app I could possibly need (or want). And now I feel confident that I have tweaked all my settings and narrowed down my installed apps to only the ones that I use on a regular basis. As a result, the iPhone is doing a great job at keeping my life sufficiently organized, and my productivity … [Read more...]
I'm hip & cool and everything (if I do say so myself), but I admit to being completely clueless when it comes to downloading ringtones. I mean I know HOW to do it (you just upload a file to your cell phone). But I never really knew how to find decent sites that could be trusted for downloading ringtones to your cellphone. Recently, a friend on Twitter (@DustyReagan) did a quick poll, and he found the following 2 sites to be best in terms of safety and reliability. I, myself, have … [Read more...]
