The iPhone 5 is rumored to have NFC… is it true?  We chime in! 

Developments in modern technology never cease to amaze me. This is even truer when those developments allow for the progressive elimination of all that is cumbersome and excessive with current technology.

Wondering how a Virtual Desktop (ie: Desktops in the Cloud) works?  If you want to know how to access one, we have the details in video!

Virtual Desktops (aka cloud desktops) are the way of the future, and I felt that the best way to gain a true sense of appreciation for the “groundbreaking-ness” of a Cloud Desktop as a radical innovation is to see it in action. So Renee and I created a clear and concise video demonstration / tutorial of how to use an iPad and iPhone 4 (as a tether) to carry your desktop with you everywhere you go.

This past Saturday, I had the unique opportunity to discuss Cloud Computing on the radio!  It was on the Small Business Authority Hour on WABC Radio in New York.

Now your iPhone can accept Amex, or other credit cards, with Square!

The iPhone is now credit card compatible.  A company by the name of Square has designed a credit card reader that plugs into the headphone jack, enabling you to accept credit cards and debit cards on the fly.  Square then transfers daily deposit to your bank account. 

I was talking with my friend Stacey over dinner the other evening about her recent blog woes.  Stacey is the owner of www.blumegirl.com, a well known customized apparel company.  After some research, she decided to venture into blogging and social media for her company as a marketing tool and fun extension of the brand. 

Ever get stuck on a super annoying reply-all thread?  Well, it happens to me all the time. Thanks to Outlook 2010′s latest feature: ‘Ignore,’ I automatically move all those super annoying replies straight to trash.
