Within a few minutes I received three messages of attempts to access my Apple ID and Facebook accounts.

I’ve been using my iPhone 6 Plus for a month now. I thought it was time to gather my thoughts about my experience with the new, larger phone. Prior to getting the new phone I was carrying an iPhone 5s and an iPad Mini (2nd Generation with Wifi).…

WWDC 2014 starts in about a week. I’m sure that by this time next week there will be a line around Moscone West waiting to get in to hear what new offerings Apple has for their community.

I’m very irked by the recent update to AppleTV. There are three new “apps” on my TV for History Channel, A&E, and LifeTime. The trick is that they are hobbled unless my cable company is DirecTV, Optimum, or Verizon FiOS. Since I do not subscribe to any of those, I’m locked out of the main content.…

When I first bought the original iPad I also got the black polyurethane case that Apple offered with it. At the time, it made sense since there were no other cases on the market. I affectionately called that case the “wet suit” because of its slick design and the fact that it was impossible to get on or remove.…

Thanks to the latest update to the Apple TV 2 software I can not watch any TV show that I have ever purchased from iTunes via streaming. Previously I had to keep a copy of anything I’d ever bought in case I ever wanted to watch it again.…

I downloaded a great program call Blotter 1.2 (Mac App Store $9.99) that puts your calendar on your desktop. I really like this app. I have it set to start up automatically when I log in. I don’t really care to see it on my dock.…

The current rumor is that we will have an announcement about the iPad 2 on February 9th. This is roughly one year from the original announcement so this make sense. I would assume they would announce at that time a release date in March.…
