Can Twitter

Can Twitter's photo edit options really hurt Instagram?

The short answer – yes, a little. There are rarely moves made by one social company that make me believe they can really hurt another social company, but this one is different. Instagram’s relationship with Twitter has been one of love and hate since before anyone realized there was a growing tension between the social networking giant and Facebook’s mobile secret weapon. The fact that Twitter added filters to their photo apps will not strain the relationship any further; in essence, there is nothing really left to strain. Facebook started the ill-will in April when they purchased Instagram….

The iPhone case that allows you to re-visit the 90’s

The iPhone case that allows you to re-visit the 90’s

Do you remember the 90’s? When Beverly Hills 90210 wasn’t a remake, sideburns were cool, again, the song, “Ice, Ice, Baby” was a hit on the radio and when everyone invested in owning a cellphone, that’s right, not a mobile device or smartphone, a cell phone. Times have certainly changed and many of us miss those days, but now we can re-visit the 90’s with this very cool iPhone case. …

Amplify sound with this handmade ceramic megaphone

Amplify sound with this handmade ceramic megaphone

Our addiction to our smartphones is progressing and with its dependency we can easily identify what they lack, although in the grand scheme of things, it is not much to complain about. However, I am about to complain (lol). Nothing irks me more about a smartphone then its lack of sound amplification. Especially when I want to dance around to the music I purchased from the iStore. …

Nokia makes a calculated gamble by offering its map apps to use on iOS

Nokia makes a calculated gamble by offering its map apps to use on iOS

Nokia has been sliding dangerously close to oblivion for some time now. The former king of mobile phones underestimated the rapid rise of smartphones and bet too high, too long on feature phones. Now, they’re scrambling to catch up but their flagship Lumia line of phones has not been doing well. In an effort to improve their footprint and expand the datasets available to power their new Here map application, Nokia is going to offer them to iOS users. After the disastrous launch of Apple maps on iOS 6, Nokia tried to cash in a bit by comparing their maps to the maps of the two current kings of smartphones,…

Whoever registered iFone in Mexico needs a big raise

Whoever registered iFone in Mexico needs a big raise

The iPhone has been a staple of mobile communications around the world for half a decade. Unfortunately for Apple, it was already a “thing” in Mexico in 2003 when the iFone trade name was registered in Mexico in 2003. Now, Apple has lost the right to the iPhone brand name in the country. With the two largest Mexican mobile carriers scheduled to start selling the iPhone 5 on Friday, the lawyers in Cupertino have to act quickly to come up with a financial settlement with the telecommunications company or risk major complications both in branding and in sales. According to Electronista: Apple has lost…

ReadyCase is like the Swiss army knife of iPhone cases

ReadyCase is like the Swiss army knife of iPhone cases

First and foremost, this is not a paid endorsement. We have no incentive to highlight this product – it’s just pretty darn cool. The IndieGoGo-funded ReadyCase is one that iUsers should see. In many ways, it’s a wonder that something like this took so many years to come out. Sure, there are other iPhone cases that are multipurpose, that have similar features, but this is the first one we’ve found that has all of them together in one. Kickstand. Lens ring. Headphone clip. A USB drive. It even has a multi-tool for those times when you wish you had a flat head screwdriver at the ready. Check it out: …

iOS 6 maps reveal the first casualty of the Google, Apple cold war: users

iOS 6 maps reveal the first casualty of the Google, Apple cold war: users

The New York Times is not known as a publication that looks for the silver lining in news, but they make a point that may be the only good one for Apple when it comes to their disastrous iOS 6 maps launch. Things Can Only Get Better. They certainly couldn’t get any worse. In the ongoing cold war between Apple and Google, users were hit as the first casualty. The brand new maps, brought about as a replacement to help remove a relationship between the two tech giants that has existed since the first iPhone, are so bad they’ve become comical. It’s not funny in the way that Google handled their 8-bit maps for April…

Apple retail store start price-matching to clear way for next generation devices

Apple retail store start price-matching to clear way for next generation devices

Rumors about iPhones are often hit or miss. A technological conspiracy theory going around in the last couple of years is that Apple releases misinformation sometimes to keep the rumor mills flooded. Occasionally, they will show their hand a bit to reveal some credence to some of the rumors. The latest version of this comes in the form of authorization given to Apple retail stores allowing them to price match specials and discounts being offered by carriers and other retailers. Discounts such as Best Buy’s $49.99 iPhone 4 8GB will now be matchable directly from the Apple Store. According to MacRumors:…
