If you are a business traveler or constantly on the go, you probably use airport and restaurant's wi-fi networks. Most places offer free wi-fi and it's not just at Starbucks anymore. They are a necessary evil.

So the backstory is this, Facebook began to test the free calling over Wi-Fi and cellular data for users in Canada that had the Messenger app. Those awesome Canadian's must've not had any major issues so Facbook decided to roll it out to the good ole U.S. of A.

For our first post here in 2013, I wanted it to be monumental. One that will set the tone for the whole year. The one that would have everyone talking at the watercooler about. What exactly is a watercooler though? Sorry, I digress.

It's that time of year. Time to get rid of old bad habits. Time to make resolutions for the New Year. Of course, the most popular one has always been and will always be, losing weight/getting more fit. There are others, like stop smoking, save money, get out of debt - you've heard them all. But have you thought about technology resolutions?

To quote a Marv Albert famous saying, Twitter was "On Fire!" last night. What may you ask was the reason is probably a silly question, but it was a result of the Presidential Election.

Jeepers y'all, did you see the iPad Mini announcement from Apple yesterday? I mentioned how excited I was in a recent post about it coming out and it certainly has garnered quite a bit of buzz, mostly about the negatives.

It happens. My relative is a retired police officer and he claims it's ongoing. I do it when I'm driving around and I see a driver do something and immediately say "well, they must be x". Now the internets are doing it!

Since we're a mac family I often forget there's other manufacturer's out there in electronics. Doesn't Apple do everything for everyone? I kid, but truly when I hear news that Microsoft is going to release a tablet, I take note.

Remember when you wanted to downsize and get rid of your cell phone because it was the size of a semi truck? Remember when you wanted to get rid of your flip phone for something smaller? And remember when you purchased a smaller phone because everyone was saying smaller phones were better?

There's no telling why people love or hate them. Love the technology and the ease of use. Has grown up on Apple products and is an overall fan. Loves the abundance of games and apps that no other system has. Doesn't mind being tethered to Apple products, like iPhones and the uniqueness of cords/charging stations.
