FREE IS MY LIFE: TECH: How a Review of a Verizon Wireless iPad ...

Technology is not always intuitive and having someone to guide you with knowledge gained from experience can be a wallet saver....

I love that I am a blogger. Because I have a blog, I get to try out lots of products and give my opinion of how they worked (or didn't work) for me. ?Thanks to my relationship with Verizon Wireless. I have had the opportunity of review a slew of smartphones, hotspots and tablets. Because I get to try out all these products and write about my experience, I sometimes forget that the average person only knows about technology from the little that they see in the traditional media and integrating technology into our lives in not as initiative as I first believed.

A few months ago, Verizon Wireless allowed me to review one of their Apple iPads. ?Although I have reviewed six android tablets (Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Verizon Motorola Xoom 10.1, Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0, ?HTC Flyer, ?Kindle Fire and the HTC Evo View 4G) this was my first time using an Apple tablet and I was overall very impressed. But this post is not really about my Verizon iPad experience as much as it is about how important it is for companies to let average people (like me) review products and then let us educate others on what we have learned.

Can an iPad be a waste of money?
About the time that I finished my review of the Verizon iPad, I was talking with my friend Bev about her new iPad that she received as a gift from her husband for Christmas. ?Bev shared with me how her kids were getting more use out of the iPad than she did. Actually the kids were keeping the iPad in their toy box since Bev did not use it. Bev felt the iPad purchase had been a waste of her family's money. I was a little shocked because I really believed people would just intuitively integrate an iPad into their lives. But what I learned from speaking with Bev is my assumption is not the case for the average person who has never used a tablet and who does not read about technology like I do.

Having reviewed lots of Verizon Android tablets and then the Verizon Apple iPad, I knew how apps running on these devices could really help with all aspects of life. So I started asking Bev about her life and how she had hoped to use her iPad.

Bev shared with me how she needed a lot more than just the ability to play games. ?She wanted to use the iPad for work to read reports, do word processing, and review presentations. ?She needed to take notes during meetings and capture her thoughts for "to do" lists. Bev also had a very old laptop and USB modem that she was using to log into work to file reports and she wanted to get rid of that laptop and use her iPad instead. Bev also loves to shop and wanted to use the iPad for online shopping and finding bargains.

I'm a Tech?Evangelist?thanks to Verizon Wireless...
From all the technology reviews that I had done courtesy of?Verizon Wireless, I knew of lots of apps and?accessories?that Bev could use to get her iPad to meet her needs.

Putting the iPad to work...
Bev hated typing on the iPad screen, so I told her about the Zaggfolio which is a very?fashionable?case and keyboard for the iPad. ?Bev immediately loved the fashionable Zaggfolio from the minute she saw it on the Zagg website and this one accessory has changed the way that she interacts with her iPad. Since?she can easily type on the iPad, she is now able to use the iPad to do work as part of her job. And because the Zaggfolio is so fashionable, Bev now loves carrying her iPad around.

I told Bev about Pages, the word processor for iPad, and that $10 purchase has enabled her to read and create reports on her iPad. ?I also told Bev about Dropbox and Skydrive, the FREE apps that enables her to keep her files in the cloud and easily access them from home and work computers and also from her iPad.

Bev needed to capture her thoughts for "to do" lists so I told her about the FREE?Dragon Dictation app for iPad?which allows her to speak her thoughts and capture them in notes for later. ?She loves using this app in situations where she does not feel like typing.

Bev works so much that she does not have time to read the newspaper so I told her about the FREE?Detroit Free Press app and now she keeps up with all the current news in Detroit right on her iPad.

After Bev started confidently using the iPad for work, she wanted to get rid of her old work laptop that she was using mainly to login to her employer to submit reports. ?She knew she could use the iPad to log in, but her employer was paying for her USB modem and she knew she could not use the modem with her iPad.

4G to the rescue...
Because I had done reviews of?Verizon mifi hotspots, I told Bev how mifi hotspots could be used for all types of devices from computers to tablets and how up to to 5 devices can share the Internet connection. I also told her how blazingly fast 4G hotspots are and how at times I could not tell that I was using a hotspot and not my Comcast data connection at home.

Even though Bev was paying for a 3G data connection from AT&T on her iPad, she did not use it because it was slow during the day. So Bev did some research and she was able to trade in her USB modem for a 4G hotspot which she loves because it is super fast. ?She was then able to get rid of her AT&T monthly bill on her iPad and just use the 4G hotspot that her employer pays for. Bev is very happy that her new 4G mifi is now saving her money.

Bargain Shopping on the iPad...
Bev is very fashionable and loves to shop, but she also loves a good bargain. ?So I showed her how she can use her iPad for bargain shopping. ?The first app that I told Bev about was the FREE?Target app which allows her to read the Target weekly ad on her iPad and it looks just like the ad booklet that you get in the store. ?This app is a must have for all Target lovers that have an iPad. For Amazon shopping, Bev installed Amazon WindowShop?which allows her to browse the items on Amazon.com in picture format. Just click on a photo and you get all the product details and product reviews. You can also view items to your cart and buy them right inside this app. I believe there is no better bargain shopping than on eBay and the FREE?eBay app?brings all that great bargain shopping right to the iPad. I have used eBay for over 10 years and I really believe the eBay app for iPad gives a better and easier experience to the the user than using eBay on the computer.

Thanks to Verizon Wireless, Bev's iPad is out of the Toy Box....
With all the new apps, Zaggfolio case and the 4G Hotspot, Bev is now a very happy iPad owner. ?She is now using?technology?to make her work and home life easier. ?She is also now a very educated technology consumer who is using her new found knowledge to help others.

It is situations like this where the importance of product reviews hit home for me. ?If companies like Verizon Wireless did not let average people like me review their products, there would be more people using trial and error for large?technology?purchases which causes wasted money and stress. Technology is not always intuitive and having someone to guide you with knowledge gained from experience can be a wallet saver.

Because of my experience reviewing the Verizon Wireless iPad, I bought an iPad of my own since I knew first hand how I could use it to make my life easier. ?And I was able to get a real deal on my iPad purchase by using another app that I told Bev about called Slickdeals.

So thanks to all the companies that understand the importance of product reviews. ?Both Bev and I applaud you and our wallets thank you too.

Enjoy!

How a mosquito survives a raindrop hit

Lightweight insects can ride water droplets, as long as they separate in time

Web edition : 3:09 pm

View the video

A raindrop hitting a mosquito in flight is like a midair collision between a human and a bus. Except that the mosquito survives.

New experiments show how the insect?s light weight works in its favor, says engineer David Hu of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. In essence, the (relatively) huge, fast drop doesn?t transfer much of its momentum to a little wisp of an insect. Instead the falling droplet sweeps the insect along on the downward plunge. As Hu puts it, the mosquito ?just rides the drop.?

The trick is breaking away from that drop before it and the insect splash into the ground. Mosquitoes that separate themselves in time easily survive a raindrop strike, Hu and his colleagues report online the week of June 4 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Such studies help reveal how animals evolved to take advantage of flight, says biologist Tyson Hedrick of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Mosquito tricks may also inspire engineers designing swarms of tiny flying robots, or interest physicists and mathematicians studying complex fluid dynamics at this scale.

Plenty of lab work has investigated how flying animals recover from disturbances, but there?s little work on raindrops because those collisions are very hard to study, Hu says. To mimic raindrop speed of about 9 meters per second, he and his colleagues tried dripping water off the third floor of a building toward ground-level mosquitoes. ?It?s the worst game of darts you can imagine,? he says. ?You have no hope of hitting them.?

Finally, Hu sprayed streams of water from a pump at caged lab mosquitoes and then refined the process by spraying mosquito-sized beads. His team found that mosquitoes hit with water survived using an insect version of tai chi: Move with the blow instead of resisting it. A raindrop can reach 50 times the mass of a mosquito, and after colliding, ?the mosquito becomes a stowaway,? Hu says.

The wild ride comes with danger. Mosquitoes hitchhiking on water experience acceleration 100 to 300 times the force of Earth?s gravity, the researchers found. The previous champs for surviving acceleration had been jumping fleas, at a mere 130 times Earth?s gravity.

Such studies suggest insects are making tradeoffs, Hedrick says. Mosquitoes? small mass might allow them fly through raindrops but leave them more vulnerable to other menaces, such as wind. Larger and heavier horseflies ?should have no problem with wind but might be more disturbed by raindrop impacts,? he says.

Scientists who work in the field know how readily mosquitoes can survive wet weather. ?I?ve worked in the field many rainy nights,? says entomologist Nathan Burkett-Cadena of the University of South Florida in Tampa, ?and received zero respite from mosquitoes during even heavy rains.?

Water drops slamming into insects can knock them partly or completely off course, this laboratory video shows.

Bruce Walker | How GOP Can Sweep 2012 Elections


How? can Republicans clean Democrat clocks all over the country?? All it will? take is a simple message: Republicans can govern.? Democrats? can?t.

Think? of all the contrasts available between adroit Republican governors and flailing? Democratic ones.? For one, the surreal spectacle of Wisconsin Democrats? focusing resources on their third election campaign since the 2010 election to? defeat Scott Walker?s collective bargaining reform, even when that reform is no longer? a real issue, shows that Democrats are in election mode every moment of? every year.

This? difference has shown up elsewhere in state and local government.? Rudy? Giuliani may not have been a conservative, but as Mayor of New York, he was a? courageous and effective leader, which gained? him admiration from conservatives.? The contrast between Giuliani and? Dinkins, the hapless Democrat cipher who preceded him, is? stark.

Baby Boom: Did Retained Juvenile Traits Help Birds Outlive Dinosaurs?

Birds are the only dinosaurs that have survived into modern times. Why is that? Of all the dinosaur species, how did they manage to make it through the catastrophic events of 65 million years ago, whereas all their fellow dinos perished? A new study, published May 27 in Nature, hints at an evolutionary phenomenon that may have played to birds' advantage: They are, it seems, baby dinosaurs whose biology prevents them from ever growing up. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.)

Bhart-Anjan Bhullar and his doctoral advisor, Arkhat Abzhanov, posit that birds may have evolved from dinosaurs by a process known as paedomorphosis, whereby an organism retains juvenile traits even after it becomes sexually mature. "They certainly look to have some paedomorphic characteristics," says Jack Horner, a Montana State University paleontologist who studies dinosaur growth and development and was not involved in the study. Paedomorphosis "is not uncommon in evolution and speciation," he adds.

Bhullar and Abzhanov reached this conclusion by comparing the skulls of birds and dinosaurs across phylogenies, or related groups, and at different developmental stages. To quantitatively compare cranial geometries, they scanned the skulls of theropod dinosaurs (which are thought to be birds' ancestors), crocodiles and alligators (dinosaurs' cousins), early transitional birds such as Archaeopteryx, and modern birds. Then they created digitized versions of each skull and mapped out cranial landmarks, such as nostril tips, eye socket dimensions and places where bones meet.

Their measurements showed that whereas a typical non-avian dinosaur began life with a round head, large eyes and a big brain (relative to the rest of the body) then later developed an elongated snout and smaller relative brain size, birds kept their baby faces.

If birds did evolve by paedomorphosis, they join species such as axolotls. These salamanders evolved to retain tadpolelike gills and fins and, unlike most other amphibians, remain aquatic into adulthood. This feature appears to be due to a hormone disruption. By adding thyroid hormone into their water, researchers have caused axolotls to metamorphose into terrestrial salamanders.

But why would it be advantageous for adult animals to look like kids? Greg Erickson, who studies evolutionary morphology at The Florida State University and was not involved in the study, says that paedomorphosis can help a species to develop new adaptations and exploit new niches. In particular, he suggests that paedomorphosis may have enabled birds to develop larger eyes, which aid in spatial assessment during flight as well as a high brain-to-body-mass ratio, which may contribute to intelligence.

An even simpler explanation is that kids are small and, in times of environmental stress, small is good. Bhullar cites an example of Temnospondyli?large primitive amphibians that were common before 120 million years ago. Catastrophic events killed off most of the temnospondyli, except for a few paedomorphic species. "The interesting thing to me is that [after the catastrophe] these little paedomorphic animals were at the base of a giant radiation," Bhullar says. He suggests that a similar phenomenon may have occurred during the catastrophic events that killed the dinosaurs?being small may have been an advantage, because smaller animals require less food and can more easily hide. "Everything that lived on land and weighed more than one kilogram perished," Bhullar says. "The only dinosaurs that survived were the paedomorphic ones." And after many of those larger species went extinct, the little dino may have been better placed to exploit the new niches that opened up.

PFT: How good is Peyton now? Peers weigh in

72874441_crop_650x440Getty Images

A former NFL running back who spent 11 seasons in the game has provided some intriguing insights into the life of a former football player.? Michael Pittman, who played 11 seasons with the Cardinals, Buccaneers, and Broncos, told WDAE radio in Tampa that he suffered seven or eight concussions during his career.

?Just like the former players that are suing the NFL, I suffer from the same symptoms of course,? Pittman said, via JoeBucsFan.com.? ?The headaches, memory loss, vision loss. . . .? Sometimes you get depressed.? And there?s some times you really can?t control it, just the way you feel, your emotions.?

Pittman admitted that, at one point, he needed to see a psychiatrist ? and to his credit he had no qualms talking about a health condition that, despite the inexplicable social stigma, is no different than having a broken bone.

Pittman said that people criticizing the players who are suing the league don?t understand what the former players are going through.? ?The NFL needs to make these players that [are] playing more aware of the long-term effects of playing,? Pittman said.? ?Because when I was playing, they didn?t do that.?

He added that, if he knew more during his career the long-term effects of concussions, Pittman may have retired after only two of three.? He said he hasn?t sued yet, but he may.? (The clock is ticking on the statute of limitations; the NFL likely would argue it already has expired, even if he sued today.)

Pittman, like many former players, is concerned about how he?ll feel in his 50s, given that he?s currently having issues at only the age of 36.

Regardless of whether he chooses to join in the concussion lawsuit, here?s hoping Pittman and all other former players suffering from the effects of concussions get the medical assistance they need to lead long and normal lives.
