By Jack Beckman On April 17, 2013 · 1 Comment
Suppose you went into a store, and none of the merchandise was priced – no tags, no stickers, no shelf signs – nothing. You ask one of the clerks, who tells you if you give up your name and email address, he’ll give you a pair of glasses that will show you the hidden prices [...]

I really like having Passbook on my iPhone 5. It’s great to have location aware passes that show up when I’m at the airport, at the movies or in one of my favorite stores. Most of the business I deal with regularly have adopted Passbook where it makes sense. I get my Delta boarding passes [...]

Stand

By Jack Beckman On April 10, 2013 · Add Comment
For some time now, I’ve been looking for a good dock for my iPhone 5. For whatever reason, Apple doesn’t make one. I tried out a third-party stand that I found on Amazon – it looked like the old 30-pin stand but with the new Lightning connector. Unfortunately, it was so tight that I really [...]

Is Puffin Browser for You?

By Phyllis Evans On April 9, 2013 · 2 Comments
Puffin
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m tired of dealing with the s-l-o-w page rendering in Safari — on the iPad as well as my iMac & MacBook Air. Some sites seem to take forever to load. And on the iPad, sites that need Flash? Sorry, Safari doesn’t do Flash on iOS. On my [...]

Optical Drive — Repair or Replace?

By Phyllis Evans On March 12, 2013 · 2 Comments
There was a discussion recently on the MacGroup iBBS about failing optical drives and whether to repair or replace. The general opinion? IF you have a Mac that is easy to get into and you aren’t afraid to tinker, then by all means,  replace. If, on the other hand, you have one that is tough [...]
