Wondering what to do if you drop your iPhone in water? I dropped my iPhone in a sink of water on purpose. Read on to see what happened. I’m what you call a tech enthusiast, so when I was asked to test out the EVAP Rescue Pouch by Kensington, I was ready. Until, of course, I realized that I actually …

It’s not enough we have chilly temperatures, limited sunshine, and a serious lack of …

When every single day you’re hit with “There’s an App for that”, I can’t help but thinking there really isn’t. I can’t go on the App …
