As you may have read, over the weekend while we were all enjoying the 4th of July festivities, hackers got into iTunes user accounts and reports say that users’ iTunes accounts have been hacked - some have had over $500.00 worth of apps purchased onto their account which were unauthorized while others are saying a lot of iTunes users’ information may have been stolen. This is an ongoing story and we’ll stay on top of it. We also show you how to ensure you weren’t hacked and how to stay safe.
If you want an inexpensive yet cool gadget for your home, apartment or condo, you’ve got to check out the Andev Sensor Plug. It’s way better than your Grandma’s Clapper (Clap On, Clap Off). It uses motion and light sensory to detect what electrical items you want turned on and off once you enter or leave a room. We show everything that it can do and why every moxie person needs one of these $15.00 gadgets!
Also, Facebook is rolling out their Face Detection software to everyone within the next few weeks. You may already have it. Over 100 million photos get uploaded to Facebook PER DAY so they’re new Face Detection software will literally find the faces in your photos and allow you a much easier way of tagging friends and family in your photos. We show you how easy and awesome this new feature is.
Last but not least, if you’ve ever bought an HDTV, you know how many cables, HDMI cables, Ethernet and A/V cables it takes to connect all of your game consoles, Apple TVs, set-top cable boxes and Surround Sound Systems. Well thanks to a potentially new standard, four major companies have come up with HDBaseT which is just ONE cord that carries HD Video, Audio, Internet AND POWER all in one cord! We’ll show you when to expect it, how to get it and what TV manufacturers are beginning to use this as the killer of HDMI. Want more information on HDBaseT? Click here.
