When last we left our heroes Allison and Steve, we were trying to set up a second Drobo. If you didn’t hear last week’s show, the problem to solve was that we wanted a new Drobo and to use our old Drobo to back up the new one. We made a slight error by putting […]

Free Way to Recover Voicemails from an iOS Backup
I’ve gotten reports of people upgrading to iPhone 6/6+ recently and when they restored from backup, their saved voicemails didn’t come back. There are paid-for tools online to recover your voicemails, but I went on the hunt for a free way to do it. Mike Reyes wrote up instructions on how to do it from […]

First there was streaming of the Apple event, which will forever go down in history as the Truck Slide event. I defended them for the disaster saying that just too many people were trying to watch, but then later found out it was a mistake they made in their coding of the website that caused […]

I’ve really been enjoying how much it’s made people nuts that I a) bought a Windows phone and b) that I actually kind of like it. Part of my reason for enjoying it has been the constant help by Joel Rushworth, who I met through Chris Ashley of the SMR Podcast. Joel isn’t pushy at […]
