Great $50 Sports Headphones from Sennheiser
You’ve been hearing me review Bluetooth headsets for the last few months, and while the Jabra Sport+ Wireless Bluetooth headphones work great for Steve, no matter what ones I try work just fine UNLESS I put them in my Spibelt which is how I carry my phone to jog, wash the car, or walk the […]

Jonathan Quinlan tells us how Guided Access helps him save battery and protects his data. After a couple of months with 1Password I now feel qualified to compare it to LastPass that I used for a few years. Maybe my experiences will help you decide which password manager is right for you. I walk you […]
Continue readingLastPass vs 1Password – Which One is Right for You?
We’ve talked before about the importance of using a password manager in this age of constantly hacked services. There’s no perfect solution yet, but we’ve been able to prove time and time again that letting a human pick passwords is pretty much the most flawed approach you can take. We can’t remember passwords, and we […]

Steve Davidson has our Dumb Question for today. Here’s what he wrote: A few years ago, when I bought my iPad 2, those of us in the US had to decide at the time of purchase whether we wanted a GSM iPad 2 (to use on AT&T’s network) or a CDMA iPad 2 (for Verizon’s […]

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 […]

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 […]
