It keeps me connected to all the people, music, games and other media I love in the palm of my hand, and my straightforward Straight Talk plan is as simple as it gets.<br /><br />But one thing we could all use help with is keeping our device chargers, earbuds, and other digital paraphernalia under wraps. Cords get lost, knotted and generally worn out as we fumble to keep our batteries full while living life (and using our phones) to the fullest.<br /><br />We decided to bring you simple, practical solutions to this everyday problem, using just a little ingenuity, a few office and household supplies, and the wisdom of the world wide web. We hope you find our Tangle Tamers useful!</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Did I really need a Smartwatch? I didn't think so at the time, but I'm really finding that it comes in handy for finding out why my phone is vibrating without having to take it out of my pocket. It also shows me notifications while driving as I almost always have the Waze GPS app running on my phone.<br />
<br />

There have been probably three or four updates to Android Wear since I've gotten it. It keeps getting better and better. Setting new watch faces was a challenge early on as you had to deal with separate apps for each watch face. This has been consolidated in Android Wear. There are still a few that haven't updated their app, but they should get to it eventually.<br />
<br />
I keep the display always on so I can see the time and last notification. It displays in a dim monochromatic way. When the watch is "woken up" I get the full color display and notifications. Battery life has been GREAT! I go through my normal day and still have over 50% battery life available. I hear Moto 360 owners aren't so lucky. <br />

Go to http://www.java.com to download and update to the latest version.<br />
<br />
In case more security concerns develop, my friends at http://www.sophos.com have provided instructions on how to disable Java in all of the popular PC browsers in use today (see below), DO NOT disable Javascript however as it does not have the security issue. <br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Given that Windows 7 is or was almost perfect (for a Microsoft product), now a new version of Windows is threatening to kill productivity for businesses until they "figure out" how to interact with Windows 8. <span style="font-size: 11pt;">It is aimed more at the Consumer than Business professional. Works best
with a multi-touch touchscreen or trackpad, both of which are not found
plentiful in the wild at the moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Give it 6 months or so for the hardware to catch up. Until then stick
with Windows 7 or modify Windows 8 per the article below.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The folks at CNET UK have published a great article on how to transform Windows 8 into looking and acting like Windows 7. Some of the "tweaks" require some technical expertise, so it may not be for casual Windows users to try and install. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/win8-to-win7" target="_blank">Read more here<b>.</b></a></span></div>

Foundation to raise community awareness of the risk factors for
Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia and on how to live a
brain healthy lifestyle.<br />
<br />
New to Android, this app provides an insight to the health of your brain, heart, and body. This app should be a must for all of us that have had a family member afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease, as we too may develop this debilitating disease.<br />
<br />
UPDATE: I have found that the app doesn't work with Cyanogenmod 7.2 custom roms (you get Force Closes), your experience may vary. Please post your results in the comments. <br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">My New Favorite Android Radio App</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">"Songza"</span></h2>
has captured my heart and is my new favorite Radio App, beating out Slacker and Pandora!! Great music lists, fantastic sound, stellar performance over 4G make this App really stand out. They utilize the "echo" and bass enhancement features from the super-FM radio stations (remember them?) to give you really great sound on your earphones and through your Bluetooth connected car stereo system. Give it a whirl, it's in the Google Play store.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09875943046850014581noreply@blogger.com0
