Apple admits to battery problem with the iPhone 5S

Posted on October 31, 2013

iphone-5sMany users of the new Apple iPhone 5S smart phone have complained that their phones take forever to charge and that the batteries die far quicker than they should. Apple has investigated the issue and discovered that some iPhone 5S’s do indeed suffer from  a serious battery issue.

Since battery life is one of the most important attributes for any mobile device, this is a very big deal. If you believe that your iPhone 5S might be affected by this battery issue, you should either contact Apple or return it to the place where you bought it right away. The fix (or a replacement) is free.

My recommendation is to try to return it to the retailer you bought it from first. They just might give you a replacement on the spot. But either way, it will definitely worth your time to get this issue taken care as soon as possible.

Posted on October 25, 2013

Update: Amazon has dropped the threshold for free shipping back down to $25 since this post was written.

The original post continues below…

Amazon was the first online retailer to find a way to make money and build a sustainable Internet-based business, and today they are the largest online retailer in the world. And they are also my favorite online retailer, for a couple of reasons:

1 – They offer extremely competitive prices on virtually everything they sell (and they sell virtually everything!).

Posted on October 22, 2013

malwarebytes-for-androidMalwarebytes has long been one of my most used and most often recommended anti-malware programs, and now the company has released a version that runs on your Android phone.

Unlock the door to your house by simply touching the deadbolt!

Posted on October 21, 2013

kwikset-kevoHave you ever had to put down the load of grocery bags you were carrying in order to fumble through your pocket or purse in search of your house key? Even worse, have you ever found yourself standing on the outside of a locked door because you forgot to take your keys with you when you left?

Of course we all have at one time or another, but the awesome Kwikset Kevo Bluetooth Deadbolt makes such misfortunes a thing of the past.
