Question from Kara G.: I have an Android phone that always auto-updates my apps over my cellular data connection without any warning.
The problem is I sometimes use up my data allotment before the month runs out.
I realize that downloading updates don’t use up a lot of data, but they do use some, right?
How can I set my phone to only auto-update my apps when I’m connected to Wi-Fi?
Or if that’s not possible can I just turn auto-update off completely?

Question from Susan D.: I was waiting to get on the subway the other day when the guy sitting beside me pulled out his iPhone and asked Siri a question.
I was shocked when Siri answered him because she used a British accent.
I thought that was SO cool!
Can I change my own iPhone to speak with a British accent?

Question from Elena: I read your post that explains how to reopen a tab in your web browser when you’re using a computer. What a great tip!
Can I do the same thing on my iPhone when I accidentally close a tab in Safari?
As you probably know, scammers and hackers have been using fraudulent emails to practice their illicit trade ever since the invention of email itself.
Unfortunately, government regulations and cyber-security measures have done little to prevent malicious emails from making their way into our inboxes.
Even worse, many scammers and hackers are now very good at creating fake emails that are difficult to distinguish from the real emails we receive from banks, PayPal and other online services on a daily basis.
