Use Your Phone to Assist Your Love Life

Published by Sierra Monica B. on November 7, 2012 under Tech Gadgets

The smartphone revolution has seen more and more of us using our phones to plan more and more of our lives. Smartphone apps can help keep track of money, schedule meetings and appointments and remind us when we need to buy milk. For many people, mobile phones are even helping them with their love lives.

Obviously, anything that keeps people talking is good for romance — and if it isn’t, that isn’t a promising sign for the relationship anyway — but conversations aren’t the only way that smartphones can foster romance.

Popular location apps such as iOS’s Friends Finder or Google Latitude are good ways of finding out where someone is located. Agreed, it’s not necessarily romantic to stalk someone per se, but practically, if you want to make sure that everything is ready before your date arrives – it’s good to know how much time you’ve got. Also, if your date says they’re ‘ill’ and don’t turn up, but Google Latitude tells you that they’re at the Odeon, the app acts as a kind of lie detector.

AirBuds Hands-on Review

Published by Sierra Monica B. on November 6, 2012 under Product Reviews and Giveaways

In-ear headphones are preferred by many audiophiles because of the high efficiency in blocking surrounding sound without making their heads look bigger. This makes them great for listening to music discretely, while on the move or in public places.

Problem: Everything that puts pressure on your skin, including slight pressure, becomes unbearable after a while as it creates pain, and I have to include here silicone in-ear earphones too, at least based on my experience.

Solution: AirBuds
