In a nutshell: Accell PowerGenius is a bizarrely designed surge protector, yet functional and is the answer to your “blocked outlet” woes. Surge protectors are boring: they are mainly rectangular boxes with multiple power outlets designed to protect your device from voltage spikes. Bear in mind that these can be dangerous, considering that they […]
El Capitan only introduced a handful of features, but one of the improvements that I have found has been in its Disk Utility. The app effectively gives insights, stats, and critical pieces of information every Mac user wants to know about the goings-on in their computers. There have not been any dramatic changes in the past […]
Finally, you have chosen to back up your files for your Mac. Your five gigabyte iCloud storage account is almost full to the brim and you are tired of having to deal with the down times wherein your computer would create virtual backups of your files. Sometimes when people ask me if they should purchase an […]
Exactly 14 years ago, the 1st generation iPod was released. His keynote speech introducing the digital music player wasn’t exactly met with applause – instead, it received with eye-rolling and even hostile, first reactions.

Unfortunately, not everyone can afford an iPhone 6s: even the entry-level 16 GB model can be pretty expensive to most users. The new flagship smartphones come with amazing pieces of hardware which allows it to have several capabilities, including the highly touted 3D Touch and the Live Photos feature. However, what if I were to tell […]
It’s funny to see how Apple and Android fans duke it out in Internet forums, YouTube comment sections, and Facebook pages. Well hey, it’s the Internet and it’s no surprising at all to see both groups of fans stir up debates, even if their behavior is completely irrational. Anyway, it’s pretty easy to look at […]
We’re not sure why you would need to replace your iPhone 6s battery unless it was having charging issues, but let’s assume that since the phone is still early in its lifecycle that you’re doing this for experimental purposes (or you’ve already found a way to short the battery). Since I broke the display on one of […]
Letting go of a Mac is difficult: it may have stuck with you throughout college and is the primary reason why you passed all of your paperwork – both in college and at your first job – on time. Even if it holds some sort of a sentimental value, there will always come a time […]
RAM, or random access memory, is common spec that buyers use to assess the value between computers. RAM tends to be one of the specs that tends to be misunderstood – the more RAM, the better, right? Well, sure, but most people don’t even need 16GB of RAM. If you’re buying a Mac, whether it […]
