iOS 7 Finally Here...


And while I'm getting used to the changes and familiarizing myself with the menus I'm really enjoying my iTunes Radio while doing so. But if you ever get lost just swipe down on any Menu screen and the Search bar will appear. And you can always ask Siri you to open up an App for you.



I'm double tapping my Home Button to view all my opened apps and Flicking them upwards to close them out.

I'm using my new Camera options Video Square, Pano and checking out the cool filters

I'm checking out the Photo Albums and Photo Streams new layout.

I'm asking Siri complex questions like what's the weather like.


I'm even attuned with the nice background foreground effects. 

Yes I'm cool, but seriously. It's a new interface and may take some getting used to which may be the most difficult thing for most as I'm reading through today's new postings on the subject of iOS 7. 

But as I see it so far all the basic stuff is still accessible just a little fresh looking. All my apps are still intact and I'm actually enjoying the integrated features that seemed to have come from apps you may have been using before. But for the new user there may not be the app search or social world, so for them this fresh look and exciting new features will be a plus. 

It's important to note that you should do a backup before you begin doing the update. I use the iCloud however I still did a back up to my computer just in case that one thing would go wrong. 

And don't worry your Candy Crush app will still be the same as you left it.

I can say that Apple got it right this time but really, didn't they get it right the last time? 

What are your thoughts?

Apple Slows Down Older iPhones

Apple admits slowing down older iPhones. But it's not a part of a conspiracy, it's to fix an issue. Geekbench conducted a test and found the age of batteries affecting iPhone 6, 6s, and 7 to be slowing down. Apple had attempted to fix the problem by slowing down CPU usage, a result that came from iPhones unexpectedly shutting down when the battery approached 30 percent of battery life.   Photo by  rawpixel.com  on  Unsplash To resolve the issue, Apple released iOS 10.2.1 on February 17, 2017. The fix slows down the processing speed to offset and extend battery life. Apple explained to Business Insider : "Lithium-ion batteries become less capable of supplying peak current demands when in cold conditions, have a low battery charge or as they age over time, which can result in the device unexpectedly shutting down to protect its electronic components." Additionally,  Apple advises when using iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple Watch to avoid extreme heat

LandGrabbers for iPad

Well this game has me addicted. LandGrabbers is similar to Command and Conquer. You start off with one house and compete against the AI and clock to take over the map. The free download come with about 18 levels, and the $2.99 upgrade doubles that. Time flies taking over the maps. Great game and great price. Highly recommend it at 5/5 stars.

Media Convergence Adapt or Fall Into Extinction

This morning I was catching up on stocks particularly Google's seeing that it's resting at $1,150 while just a year ago it was seemingly leveling around $650. I keep thinking Ads, blogs, search engines and more news companies are adopting and contributing to Google's search engines golden pot at the end of their rainbow. The media convergence is in effect. Around every corner there's always a doomsday scenario about who will survive the new internet medium of the written word to mass media. Would we be reading books anymore and why when we can watch film, worried those concerned in the 1920's and when TV came along in the 50's we almost thought for sure the radio was a goner. Just the other day I was thinking what to do with all those old books, videos, CD's, cassettes and buried somewhere within them a few Kiss 8-tracks and vinyl records much less where to play any of them. Why not just throw them all out or use them for an all out art project because I c
