Does your smart phone have an unlimited data plan? Better enjoy it while you can!

Posted on June 8, 2015

unlimited-data-planIt’s no secret that the major cell carriers are trying to ween customers off of their “grandfathered” unlimited data plans. I’m sure you have seen the commercials that are designed to entice folks to switch to one of the new “tiered” data plans.

While those new offers have indeed prompted many customers to give up their unlimited plans in order to qualify for the perks mentioned in the commercials, many more have stubbornly decided to stick with their current plans in order to keep taking advantage of their unlimited data allotments.

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you’re one of the folks who are still using one of those grandfathered plans (like I am), start preparing for the party to end before too long.  [Read more…]

How to log in to multiple accounts on the same website with Google Chrome

Posted on June 6, 2015

multi-account-login-logoA few months ago a reader asked me how to log into multiple Yahoo email accounts at the same time, and I answered that question in this post. In a nutshell, I advised her to use a different browser for each account.

Well, it turns out that there’s an even easier way if you use the Google Chrome web browser. An excellent Chrome extension called Multi-Account Login lets you easily log in to multiple online accounts on the same website by using nothing more than a single instance of your Chrome browser.

Apple recalls over 1/4 million Beats Pill XL speakers due to potential fire hazard

Posted on June 4, 2015

beats-pill-xl-speakerApple has announced that they are voluntarily recalling over 1/4 million Beats Pill XL Speakers due to a battery issue that could potentially cause a fire.

About 222,000 of the recalled speakers have been sold in the United States and another 11,000 or so were sold in Canada.

If you happen to own a Beats Pill XL Speaker, you can refer to this page on the Apple website in order to determine whether it is affected by the recall or not.

If your speaker does fall under the recall, follow the instructions on that same page to arrange a return in exchange for either an Apple Store credit or a monetary refund via electronic payment. In either case, the amount of the refund will be $325 (US).

Why you should install the free Windows 10 Upgrade ASAP instead of waiting

Posted on June 2, 2015

Windows-10-logoAs I explained yesterday, Microsoft has just announced that they will be releasing Windows 10 to the general public on July 29 and that users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will be able to upgrade their machines for free during the first year.

For some time there has been confusion about what would happen to all the devices running the free Windows 10 upgrade at the end of that first year.

Would Windows simply stop working at the end of the year, requiring users to purchase retail Windows licenses at that point? Or would those Windows installations continue to work and receive regular Windows Updates without having to pay Microsoft any money whatsoever?

Well, now we have the answer to those questions…  [Read more…]
