An anchorman's take on news, money, family, life and a lot more
What’s on your smart phone right now? No, not the music. Not the latest game or app. And not your favorite photos. I mean what’s ON your phone right now. If a new study is correct, it could be covered in fecal matter. Or, as my boys call it … poop. Researchers in London looked […]
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died today after a long battle with cancer. I never met the man, but I’ve spent a lot of money on the innovations of this modern-day Thomas Edison. His iPhones, iPads, iPods, iMacs, MacBooks, and who knows what else, have cost me thousands of dollars. And they’ve been worth every penny. Why? […]
It was a tense early afternoon for me. What would he decide to do? What would it look like? Would he join the race or not? Would it be a revamp or all new? Could we call him a candidate? Could we be looking at the latest and greatest device? Dueling announcements It was high […]
We love to report on studies and surveys in the news. The latest one caught my eye. And of course we’ll have it on the news today. Here’s the bait to get you hooked: “What would you be willing to give up for your cell phone? Hear just how far some people will go to […]
With three boys, I’m always picking up their cell phones to snoop on them. Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about, or you don’t do the same thing. You know, who they’re texting and calling. Sherlock Holmes stuff like that. We’ll argue the privacy issues another time. Trouble is, their iPhones have […]
There are still a lot of people who haven’t ventured out since the big storm, so they don’t know first-hand what the roads are like. For the past couple of mornings, I’ve documented by my drive to work, using my iPhone. Below is a video of what it looked like Friday morning. Keep in mind […]
I realize we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves (most of us haven’t even filed our taxes yet), but the IRS has a new way to check the status of your tax refund. Yep, there’s an app for that, too. The IRS is out with a new phone app called IRS2GO. It’s free and can […]
I’ve warned you many times (on TV and my blog) about cell phone fees, and here’s another “watch out!” AT&T is drastically raising its early termination fee (ETF) for so-called “smart phones” (like the iPhone). If you want to escape your two year contract before its over, it’ll cost you $325. That’s up from $175. […]
What’s most important to you… the iPhone or toilet? Strange question, but in the latest poll of most important inventions of all time, the iPhone beat out the flushing toilet. It was also voted as more important than the car, washing machine, combustion engine and space travel. The survey came out of Great Britain. The […]
My oldest son and I both own iPhones. We both love our iPhones, but the degree of our affection is where we part ways. Before he went away to college he would fall asleep with his iPhone next to him. I doubt that sleeping habit has changed. I always thought that a bit odd and […]
