Android 4.2 is not Key Lime Pie, sticks with the Jellybean name

I'm sorry to say that the latest version of Android is not Key Lime Pie. Version 4.2 is staying with the Jellybean name, most likely because it is a smaller update that adds only a few new features. Speaking of features. Let's take a look at the upcoming features that you can expect in the new version. Multiple user accounts In this new version, users can make multiple log in accounts for children, a spouse, or anyone else they would like. Each...

new group* - Windows Phone 7 app

Windows Phone is a great operating system, I don't care what other people say. Everyone I know who has used it is a big fan of it. One thing that needs improvement is the start screen. Windows Phone 7.8 and Windows Phone 8 will add a new start screen. But until the upgrade to 7.8 is available or you buy a new Windows Phone 8 device, I have a great app that will help you organize your apps a little better. The app is called new group* and essentially creates headers to organize your apps into groups. Check out the video to see how to set it up....

My favorite Android launchers

When I used to work in retail selling phones about half of my customers had no idea what Android was and the other half thought they knew what Android was. I would ask them basic questions like, "Why do you like Android?" and they would say something like, "Because it's customizable." Then I would take a look at their old Android phone and it would be completely stock with widgets thrown all over the place with a terrible background of their dog...

Best Halo ever? - Halo 4 midnight launch

I remember back in 2004 I was working at Gamestop for the Halo 2 launch. It was my first retail job and I was excited and nervous at the same time. I hadn't worked there long and this was my first ever midnight launch. It seemed like hundreds of people lined up to get the game, but little did they know that we had been playing it all day and had already had our own personal copies of the game. Ahh, memories... Well, it's that time again! Halo 4 is set to release tonight at midnight. It is sure to be one of the biggest launch titles for the Xbox...

Movies on the cheap! - Redbox

Redbox at a local Walmart Going to the movies is expensive and taking a date just doubles the cost. A new release movie can cost upwards of $20 for a pair of tickets, and then add on the concessions which cost about four times as much at the theater than the grocery store. You can easily spend $40 for a few hours of entertainment! That's ludicrous! For $40 the movie better be good. If you are like me and have very little money to spend on...

Updated Google Search for iOS brings improved voice search and voice results

I haven't used an iPhone since the iPhone 4. I have an iPad 2 and I love it. Neither of them have Siri available as an option so I've never used Siri in my everyday life. I can't speak personally to how well Siri works but I've heard a lot of people give me their thoughts. From, "It gives you really funny responses" to "It's completely useless" and "I love the hands free text messaging" there are a bunch of differing opinions about the virtual assistant. But, the one thing I have been able to try out fairly extensively is the search function. I...
