May not save on battery, but on older phones it does free up memory. On my iPhone 4s, if I don’t quit apps from time to time everything will lag like crazy. And I’m talking just email, Safari, iMessage, and camera. I am not running games or heavy duty apps.

If they want to remove apps that are outdated or incompatible, they should at least have the decency to pop up a notification or an approval page. Something along the lines of “We have found that this/these applications can cause problems or are outdated. Would you like to remove them?”. This would be like taking your…

I am currently running MalwareBytes Anti Malware on my laptop, it does a pretty good job. They even have a fairly new product, Anti Exploit. Supposedly it watches for the most common attack vectors such as buffer overflow or code injections. Does not focus on virus signatures, but instead plugs those holes.

I would…

Remember, death is never final in comics, so there will always be a Rebirth.

a soft reboot, like when Convergence ended last year?

We need more stories like this where women get the support and care they need. The decision to have an abortion can be probably the most difficult one a family will ever have to make. Thank you for sharing this.

I see a lot of games that mark a disconnect as a loss. I don’t think the general population will have enough random reasons for disconnect like doorbell/phone call/baby puke to really hurt their standings. I would guess that a lot of players are not that competitive to where it would matter that much to them. As for…

He played the best villains. You hated his characters, but still liked him at the same time. He will be missed, one of the great ones.

My wife runs into that with some of her grandmother’s recipes. Those are maybe 100 years old, and use measurements like “butter the size of an egg” and stuff like that. Having to translate that to modern equivalent is sometimes fun.

That is what we have been trying to add in, the old hand-written recipes from her mom and grandmother. Takes a while to read the writing sometimes.

Typing in a bunch of recipes can be very time consuming, but I think it would be that way with any app. My wife is trying to digitize all of her recipes from various sources and we have decided to just enter in a few at a time so we don’t have to sit down and type for hours on end. If any app had a reliable OCR…

The wife and I use Pepper Plate. The fact that it is completely free more than makes up for the somewhat more complicated nature at times. She uses the feature for creating a grocery list for certain recipes when getting ready for a big event like Thanksgiving and it makes it so much easier.

Hmm, after the post on Friday about the small cell phone companies having much higher satisfaction rates (probably on ArsTechnica) and now this article, it is almost like I am being told to get off T-Mobile. Well, no time like the present.

I can see where the need for money comes in a little bit. Most sites that people frequent are no longer websites built by random kids for the heck of it. You posted this on a site that actually pays its writers money (at least I assume they do) and is part of a network of sister sites that cover a wide array of…

I don’t know what the silver bullet answer here is. People want to browse sites for free, so sites rely on advertising for income. Malware makers use ads to push malware because they are everywhere on the web and hard to track down for the reasons outlined in the article. Adblockers help take away that attack vector…

the Belkin site appears to be down right now, probably overloaded...

I will defend adblockers for 2 reasons. First, a lot of ads are used to push malware and spyware. Blocking them is a security function. Second, ads have gotten more intrusive and annoying, and waiting for 17 ads to load before I can view a page is annoying as crap.

I thought there would be a joke in the article about drink a cup of coffee, then go for a run and try to make it back before the “coffee poops” hit...

I figured this was cheaper than buying all the lives you needed...

Got tired of spending money to watch 3 channels and ignoring 200 or so. If they ever offer an a la carte option, I might sign back up.
