Holiday weeks tend to be slow just about everywhere, and news tends to creep a bit around this time. (If Apple had gone and released the iPhone 5 on the old summer schedule, we'd all still be talking about it, but we'll save that for autumn.) Which is not to say there weren't things that went over pretty big this week, as soon you'll see, since obviously you missed it.
Features:
- Facebook Announces Skype Video Calling Partnership, Group Chat - In a long anticipated partnership with Skype, Facebook has finally brought sketchy quality video chatting to the masses. Not everyone had Skype or wanted an account with the VoIP legend, but even your grandma's friends with Mark Zuckerburg. Now if they can just up the quality.
Reviews:
- App Showdown: flickr Uploaders - flickr is still one of the dominant forces in photo uploading and sharing, but their app isn't the best portal to get their on a mobile device. Luckily, the App Store lets third parties into the breach.
- SpotWorld Review - With mobile taking off big time and travel such a big part of modern life, it's only natural that these two great tastes would taste great together. Except in this case, where SpotWorld, still pretty fresh on the market, only dishes up a small slice of locations and only the biggest ticket items there (ever heard of a little attraction New York calls "the Empire State Building"?).
How-Tos:
- How to Use FileVault to Protect Your Data - Let us not be coy about this. You have stuff on your computer you don't want people seeing. Whether those are your-eyes-only pictures from that very special someone or just your before and after surgery pictures, we're not here to judge. We are here to say that basic lockdown techniques fall short when dedicated pros get their hands on your machine. What we have on offer is a way to lock it down so even the Geniuses have to walk away.
- How to Keep a Neater House Using iOS - Based on how this article's getting shared around the digital campfire, we can only surmise that our readers' homes are filthy dens of clutter, soiled laundry, stacks of dishes, and relatives who refuse to lift a finger to help out. Sound like your house -- only cleaner? Well then, SpeedTask is here to make everything better.
