“I don’t buy apps”

May 13, 2014March 8, 2025 Apps, Opinion 1

That’s the phrase I am hearing more and more from people when discussing apps on the iPad. I bring up a cool app that costs a couple of dollars and the person immediately states the above sentence.

I’m hardly the kind of fellow who could be accused of being a new-age sensitive guy. I regularly scoff at anything healthy at the grocery store, looking instead for convenient and comfortable food. I even have a paperweight with an old Mark Twain quote on exercise: Whenever I get the urge, I lay down until it passes. And, Im in the first paragraph and already, Im digressing

XO 7-inch Kids Tablet XO-780 by Vivitar – Review

October 31, 2013March 7, 2025 Android, Apps, Battery, Game, iPad mini, Review, Tablet 0

Out of the box this tablet was very easy to set up. It took me less than 15 minutes to connect to the Internet and set up three user profiles on the tablet. Yes! The XO tablet allows up to three user profiles and one adult administrator account, which was perfect for me and my three daughters. The android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system was a breeze for me, a long time iPad user, to configure, and ever easier for the kids each to log into their own space.

How To Record A Podcast Without A Mixer

October 7, 2013March 7, 2025 Apps, Audio, Features, How-To, MyMac Podcast 2

OK (I hear you asking). Just HOW does Guy create the MyMac Podcast each week with such incredible skill, good taste, and handsome features?

August 19, 2013March 7, 2025 Adapter, Apps, Audio, Battery, Battery Packs, Features, Hard Drive, iOS, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Nemo Memo, Review, Shoot-out 2
