Bandwidth Plus for Mac Review

Bandwidth+ App

There are too many apps out there these days that overload their feature list. Sure, a feature heavy app sounds great in theory. But the truth is, most have more tools than you will ever use, some entirely unrelated to the main purpose of the original program. Instead, it is increasing the file size so it takes up more space, and may possibly limit the speed that it runs. No one wants an app that has a slow loading time thanks to features you didn't even know it had.

How Do I Get Free WiFi Everywhere? 

WiFi Hotspot

I don't know about you, but my mobile web reception sucks. Sure, it works in most places I spend my days. But it is slow, unreliable, and if I am out of town? Forget it. I might as well be trying to surf the web on a freaking rock.

Because of this, my love of free WiFi is extreme. I tend to choose where to give my patronage by whether or not they offer free WiFi. I book hotels that have it, I go to coffee shops that provide it, and I even refuse to go somewhere that asks for paid access. I mean, who would honestly want to pay to use an internet connection for a few minutes at a time? If I wanted that, I would go to an actual internet cafe, thank you.

Anyone wondering how to make sure they always get free WiFi have come to the right place. As a dedicated signal hog and cheapskate, I can honestly say I am good at weaseling out that sweet, sweet Internet. Sadly, I can't promise you will find free WiFi anywhere, but pretty close.

How to Transfer Files over WiFi between Android and PC

When it comes to copying files to and from your Android phone or tablet the normal way is to use a USB cable from your computer to your phone. It works absolutely fine that way but there's a few reasons why you'd want to have an alternative to the cable method. One alternative is WiFi transfer.

The first reason is that you don't have access to a cable. It might have broke, got forgot or even lost - or if you're like me then you might just be too lazy to go upstairs to get it haha - but if you don't have one then there is absolutely no way for you to use a cable to transfer your files.

There could even be problems with using the cable, for me my cable is too short to use without a USB extension. Or your cable port might be broken. I use a Galaxy Tab 10.1 as my primary Android device but the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 came out last year if your looking to get a decent Android tablet.

Unboxing: iPad mini (16GB White WiFi)

Well, here it is, guys! The unboxing of my first iPad. I've always been a fan of small tablets, as you know from my previous purchase of a Nexus 7. Now that Apple makes one, this device seemed like the perfect fit for me. I'm excited to explore the tablet world with an OS I know and love. Expect tons of videos in the coming week!



As mentioned in the video, my first impressions are that the iPad mini is extremely light, thin and well built. The non-Retina display is not a problem at all, for me. I was expecting much worse from what I'd heard in the media. I haven't experienced lag at all yet and the 7.9" screen is wider than most tablets of a similar size, making it seem much larger when it use. In short, I'm in love. But expect a first impressions video ASAP.

Questions about the iPad mini? Leave them in the comments below. Thanks for rating/subscribing/watching! You guys ROCK!

Gogo Inflight Wi-Fi Internet Review

Every day people all around the world depend on the internet for home and business usage. Traveling has become a serious part of our lives. The question is, “How can you be productive while in the air?” Some people find flying boring while others enjoy a look from above. But what if you need to get some work done? Thanks to Gogo Inflight WiFi Internet that’s possible. Today most planes come ready to go with the latest and greatest WiFi technologies. At the moment I am enjoying Gogo’s internet via AirTran Airways and I must say I am impressed. After hearing mixed reviews about connection speeds I would like to put those rumors to rest. For a cheap inflight connection it does the job just right. I am currently updating my Twitter feeds and posting to Facebook seamlessly and began loading a 1080p YouTube video in just under 10 seconds. Though the service may not be meant for streaming a whole Netflix movie or a 6 way video chat you can do some nice productive things while traveling and not worry about missing a beat. Overall I am definitely pleased by the service I have been provided today and look forward to using it again in the future.
