And the wait begins to see how long these useful innovations take to land on the iOS version.

This. I love when my phone hooks into a weak xfinitywifi spot when I’m in my living room approximately 8 feet from my router. iOS devces can be stubborn trying to hold onto a wifi connection as well. If I can do this with my Mac, why not my iPhone??

The Google app has been doing this for a long time now (I use Google Calendar and it syncs with my local iOS calendar) and Waze will as well if your local calendar events have locations in them. It can be fun to have 3 different predictions about when to leave show up on your phone.

This sandwich purports to put mustard on a Pork Roll, Egg, and Cheese sandwich. That is sacreligous. This cannot earn my money.

Did not work for me in Firefox, but worked correctly in IE. I wonder if my ad blocker affects this test.

Well, this makes me happy that I kept my OG Droid in my possession and use it as my alarm clock.

There’s a real problem that you didn’t really touch on, and that’s major companies like Oracle and Adobe deciding that they need to monetize commodity software like Java and Flash, and the fact that companies like Google and Intel help propagate the problem. They help introduce plenty of crapware onto machines…

It’s all in the content that’s involved. The BS Report can be annoying and dull sometimes (listening to yet another Pick the Lines pod with Cousin Sal or Bill and JackO go on about what they did in college some 25 years ago), but for the most part, Simmons gets interesting guests from both the worlds of sports and…

I’ve used a couple of their AmazonBasics products with no issues. HDMI cables and also a cigarette lighter USB charger for the car, both work great for me.

I'm wistfully remembering the days of the 1.50 fare. You could buy the $4 1-day Metrocard for day tripping in the City and it would pay for itself in only 3 rides, which was easy to do if you had several stops for your day's adventures. I know they need to figure out the money to keep the system running and safe and…

I agree with this outcome 100%. I buy the Bounty Select-a-Size all the time because they do hold up the best for heavy cleaning without needing to use half a roll for one job.

I'd like to poke some holes in this. First of all, everything being organic drives the price up. If the goal is to be economical, organic isn't the way to go. Especially at a store like Wegmans, where standard versions of several of the items he purchased are much cheaper than their organic counterparts. Eggs, for…

So it does seem like there are some gaps in what you can get on here, but I bet they'll improve with time. Plus, I already pay for Prime. I wasn't using Spotify Premium or Pandora One nearly enough to justify continuing to pay for those. If I want to just stream some music, this will likely do without having to fork…

I'm all about Costco's meat selections. I absolutely love their hamburgers. They are a very good price and the quality is as good or exceeds what you can get at a higher end supermarket around here (I'm in Central Jersey, so Wegmans is the comparison I make). You do have to be savvy about prices and know that most…

I find it most unfortunate that Facebook keeps trying to force me into what their algorithm thinks I want to see. Most of the time, it's not, and it's stuff I've seen already. Annoys the hell out of me to be honest. Let me be the one to decide what I want to see, not you.

It looks like they log though. I don't know why any VPN provider would feel the need to log.

The downside is that there are just some things that Apple never rereleased as unprotected AAC files. For example, I bought a live U2 performance they did (the Under the Brooklyn Bridge set) which came out back in '04. It's simply not available anymore in the store so you can't download an unprotected version of it.…

This is a nice, easy to follow guide for doing mail on the desktop side, but it's kind of useless if you're an always on the go person who relies on mail on the iPhone (or equivalent).

This could be handy, I suppose, but given that Seagate just released hybrid fusion drives in 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB sizes which mostly gives you the same benefits, this may not be worth it. Still, good to know this option exists for my T420s.

I use Chrome for a few sites and I use IE for some work-related internal webapps that don't work well in other browsers, but I have been a hardcore Firefox user since it was still Mozilla.
