Cell Phones Have Hit Their Peak...

To come out with yet another new phone at this stage of the game is proof that they are out of ideas...

The Jetson's were the paradigm for today's technology and the technology ended with them and we have now evolved into the Jetson's of the past...

We say the past because all these ideas were already thought of and those ideas were created in the past for the future to come, and here we are...

Look at it this way, Apple (Steve Jobs) invented the largest curve glass in the World and Samsung was the first one to add curved glass to the phone...

Right there tells you that the KING of invention is out of ideas, and couldn't even see far enough ahead into the present to add infinity glass to their own phone, ironic huh...

Batteries are starting to explode everywhere because they're adding too many features to an already dysfunctional battery...

Microsoft is just sitting back watching all the designs be made until a popular style becomes the mainstay and then, VOILA, the Surface Phone is born...

However, it'll be too late, phones are becoming the analog solutions of yesteryear...

When they come out with the clear phone where you can see all the electronics inside the phone will be the magician that shares all their secrets to their tricks and the excitement will be gone...

Apple's users are starting to get old so they need a new base, so their next big reveal will be the removal of the lint collecting burger button on the bottom of the phone...

Unless they come out with another version of the Jetson's, all you're going to be doing is buying another cell phone, another cell phone, another cell phone, another cell phone and another cell phone...
 
...just a worthless hunk of plastic...

The next big idea is not another cell phone, the next big idea hasn't even been heard of yet, the next big idea hasn't even been thought of yet, let alone invented...and that's a fact!

HAPPY 4:20...

Marijuana, the safer alternative...
 
The history of the Term 4:20 has many theories, but the consensus seems to be surrounding around San Rafael High School...
 
In the early 1970's a pack of Pot Lovers calling themselves "the Waldos" liked hanging out in the front of a wall to smoke weed...
 
They would use the codeword 4:20 to communicate with each other on where and when to meet to smoke Pot, aka. ""420 Louis"...
 
Another phenomenon that is happening is the approval rating for marijuana and recent statistics show it at 61% and rising...
 
Of course this is the 65 years old and younger generation(s), unfortunately the brain washing that the Government did on the 66 and above generation hasn't worn off yet...
 
What's even more sad is that cities are creating government funded heroin injection sites for people to shoot up on the street without worrying about being arrested, but smoking weed in public is illegal...
 
Anyway, moving on, enjoy yourselves today, but be careful, do not drive high and keep it out of the reach of children, peace...

iOS 10.3.1 Update...

There is an Update for the Update and it's important that you...Update...5/6 and 7's need to be updated...

An attacker within range may be able to execute...

As for the iTunes update, so far it seems to only be with Windows Operating Systems and only 64 bit...
 
We have updated our iTunes to 12.6.0.100 on a 32 bit MS Windows OS and do not have a problem...
 
We don't use iCloud, but that doesn't matter because it's with the Library that people are experiencing problems and the program won't open...
 
Users are also reporting that they can't backup their iPhone or Sync their iPhone and we didn't experience any problem whatsoever...
 
We closed the program and started it again and still no issues...
 
So if you're using Windows 32 bit you can update your iTunes to the latest release without a worry in the world...
 
FYI: We did disable our Malware program before updating, as we always do anyway, so you may want to do the same...
 
You will also want to clean up the mess, so run your CCleaner and Registry Cleaner after all is done...
 
So to sum it up, iPhone is up to the latest release (10.3.1) and iTunes is up to the latest release (12.6.0.100) on 32x and life's good...and that's a fact!

This offends Us...

In the news they start out the headline like this: "A man fell asleep with his iPhone charging in bed. It nearly electrocuted him" so we read on...

Come to find out it didn't have anything to do with Apple's iPhone, it was about a guy that got electrocuted because his necklace got caught on the exposed prongs...

There is so much going on in the world today, yet cheesy media centers try to make something out of nothing...

It could have easily been addressed with Be Careful charging your devices next to your bed, but no, it had to start out with name calling someone to make their story relevant...

Truly pathetic what the news reports these days and this is a great example of it...and that's a fact!

iOS 10.3 Released...

As we said, 10.3 was about to be release and it is now here...
 
iOS 3 has been released for iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th generation and later, iPod touch 6th generation and later...
 
So far we know that iOS 3 has been loaded on an iPhone 7 and haven't heard of any problems so far...
 
sidenote: The Update will take about 30 minutes...
 
iOS 5 users should wait for a bit before upgrading just to make sure there are no bugs that leave you in a vulnerable state, we're keeping an eye on it...
 
In the meantime catch up on what Apple is talking about it here...
 
Apple security updates: This document lists security updates for Apple software...
 
**UPDATE**
 
Well so far the biggest problem we have heard about is people trying to update their phone without any room to do it...
iPhones don't use SD cards in any of their phones so users are forced to load all their data onto the phone, which leaves very little room to update...
 
This is one of the main reasons people don't like iPhones, but in our opinion, it's the most organized way to use a phone because you don't have to keep looking around for little chips...
 
Plus it pushes people to the cloud, and what better way to get people on the cloud then taking away their SD cards, and the cloud is the future unfortunately...
 
sidenote: You can get 50gb of iCloud storage for 99 cents a month...
 
It's hard to imagine going from Terabyte hard drives and 25" screens to 16gb hard drives and a 4 1/2" screen :-D, but we are...
 
Speaking of tiny little things, remember that you need to leave at least 1.5gb of space on your phone in order to receive optimal performance...
 
If you need more space for an iOS update...
 
What is the true formatted storage capacity of an iPhone, iPad or iPod - how many songs, films, apps and games can they hold...

**UPDATE**

We've heard that series 6 phones have experienced some slowness after the updates, but 7 seems to be fine, still waiting on the results of 5 series phones...

Which begs the question...do they ever use their phone...

It's just another example of techs being techs and not using their devices like an End User would...

Example: Role Play...

tech: What kind of phone do you have...
end user: I don't know...
tech: go to settings/general/about/Model now tell me what you see...
end user: MN9E2LL/A
tech: okay, so now you know what kind of phone you have...
end user: I don't remember buying a MN9E2LL/A phone of any kind...
tech: well who's phone is it...
end user: It's mine...
tech: But you said that you don't remember buying an MN9E2LL/A phone...
end user: I don't...
tech: well then it must be someone else's phone...
end user: no, it's my phone...

You see where this is going, the answer is iPhone 7, that's the phone they originally purchased, was an iPhone 7, but the eekblokbluke code is MN9E2LL/A which tells the end user NOTHING...

Try to think like an End User from time to time, sure we know that the eedblokbluke code of MN9E2LL/A is an internal product code, but it doesn't help the end user much when they are asked what kind of phone they have...

Here's an idea, just put iPhone 7, (MN9E2LL/A) this way you accomplish both an internal solution and an external solution or a Real World solution...

sidenote: You love using Parenthesis :-) so put the model # in () and preface it with the Friendly name, the end user name, iPhone 7, 6 5 etc...

The other thing we noticed is that you can't hold the arrow key on the text keyboard to capitalize your letters, like a Caps Lock would do...

This is obviously some politically correct thing for Apple to prevent making it easy to YELL on the internet, but remember, techs, that WOOHOO is also another form of yelling, they call it EXCITEMENT...
 
OOOPS, we made a mistake, because we're a noob :-D Apple does have the ability to do Caps, you have to "double" tap the Arrow, sorry Apple...
 
**UPDATE**
 
We now have confirmation on Apple 5s and 5c, and no problems were reported with the latest update...
 
Apple Fixes 223 Vulnerabilities Across macOS, iOS, Safari...
 
If you haven't updated yet, it's time you do, just make sure you plug your device in and turn off the autolock, have a nice day...

**UPDATE**

iTunes 12.6 is reporting issues with an unexpected error when it crashes...

If you haven't upgraded your iTunes, but have updated your iOS you're perfectly fine, because iTunes is your backup...

It's best to update your iTunes after you update your iOS because you'll lose your ability to recover from a bad iOS update...

Right now the error is only being reported with Windows 10...
 
Remember, it's the process we enjoy, Einstein says, "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new"...

We are now hearing about reports with Windows 7 as well as people having problems with iTunes 12.6 update, but no other Operating System as of yet, coincidence...we think not...
 
One difference between Apple and Windows users are Apple users don't believe in loading malware prevention for their computers whereas Windows users do, so try to disable your malware program first before upgrading...
