Sephora single-point-of-sale done wirelessly, using an iPhone.

My Anastasia Brow products (fav!) needed a refresh, so I took a power-walk up to the Sephora store on 57th and Lexington today. I did a little shopping and one of the sales reps came over asking if I needed any help.  I let her know I was okay (I know my way around a Sephora store!), so she asked if I was by chance ready to check out –I was.  Expecting she would ask me to walk over to the register, I was surprised when she pulled out her iPhone to check me out!

The most important thing to carriers besides subscribers is mobile spectrum; but by next year, according to CNN Money, the FCC could experience what is known as a “Spectrum Crunch” where there will be no more airwaves to pass around. This comes at a time where mobile carriers need spectrum the most as data hogging smartphones, such as the Apple iPhone, use up all their spectrum. If carriers don’t get enough spectrum soon, the result will be dropped calls and slow data speeds. So what are the big 4 mobile carriers going to do about this? They’re going to do the best they can to get a much spectrum as possible, but it won’t be pretty. In fact, its going to be gruesome and here’s why.

The Chronology of Mobile Technology Evolution

After the introduction of the Motorola RAZR in 2004, consumers and electronic companies started to define what a cell phone should look like–small and thin. But as the Apple iPhone became a hit in 2007, the definition of a cell phone, or should I say smartphone, became tall and wide (but still thin).  How did this sudden change occur in less than a decade? The answer lies within a phone’s software.

Jawbone’s “UP”: every once in awhile an new piece of technology comes out that has that wow factor, and quite frankly blows my mind into the stratosphere – Jawbone’s “UP” does just that. UP looks like an innocent cute little rubber bracelet; but this little bracelet packs a big punch, check out the feature list below:

Brikk Trim iPhone cases aren’t for everyone.

If you’re wondering how long the iPhone 4S battery lasts; the answer is: not very long.  In fact, iPhone 4S battery life issues have customers complaining…a lot.

We all know that any Apple release; the whole drama, from inception through production and delivery is, well pretty dramatic. No Apple product would get its proper welcome into the world without at least one issue people love to gripe about:

With the iPhone 4S, there’s some serious battery issues!

If you’ve played with a Furby, a Chatbot, or Siri, you’ve probably said a few strange things to them just to see how they’ll react.  Well, someone took it a step further and paired Furby with the latest and greatest Siri app, just to see what those two would say to one another.  This is hilarious and it could go on for hours. 

Oh, and this is what happens when you pair two chatbots together, in case you’re wondering.
