by Marc Angeli on 03/23/2012 in App Reviews, iOS with 6 Comments

As you may have seen in my other posts, I like playing games, and when it comes to my iPhone it usually involves games with a social aspect. It’s just more fun to play with your friends than a computer.

One new game that I have been playing of late is Draw Something, the top paid and free app in Apple’s App Store from OMGPOP.

Saving voicemails is important. For various reasons, from legal issues to saving a loved one’s voice, people sometimes need to save voicemails. And they should be able to, right?

by Marc Angeli on 02/06/2012 in Gadgetry, Western Digital with 11 Comments

MyBook Live is one of Western Digital’s network drives that not only claims to back up multiple PCs or Macs on your network, but also becomes your personal cloud. This is something not even Apple’s Time Capsule can do, while a decent wireless router and backup, Time capsule doesn’t play nice with digital content and sharing, and for the price you pay (close to $400) you would expect more. MyBook Live seems to be the answer to powerful back up and local network sharing. Continue reading →
