‘Extreme Phone Pinching’ is possibly the most nerve-racking Internet craze I've ever seen. I mean, what's more stressful than gripping an expensive object over a cliff?

Apologies in advance for yet another cellphone blog this week, but this is fantastic to watch, and is a great diversion.

There is a new website coming that will allow your friends to rate you. It's called Peeple - yes, spelled like that. It's claiming to be Facebook, Linkedin and Tinder all wrapped up into one unique package. Will this be the next step in social media or one of the worst ideas ever?

Friday will be another special day for Apple fanatics in the Capital Region as the iPhone 6s hits the streets. Big box stores should have some type of allotment along with the different cellular providers. Are you picking one up? If so, where? If not, why not?

Let me start by saying that I have no connection to these but it sounds like a really neat idea. The website is: www.deaddrops.com and it's a new way for people to drop information for other people to access without being online. You simply bring your laptop to the location and plug in the USB to either add to the information or download what is already there...

I can't believe how a person's self image is starting to overtake their need for safety.  People are dying- all in the name of getting that perfect shot, and it's only going to get worse, people!

Here's one of those weird facts that you stumble across that can make your jaw drop. The Tech Insider website has come across an energy study that shows the state of New York consumes as much energy every year as the country of Egypt.

For you folks who own an iPhone and are anxiously waiting to update their gadget to the latest and greatest that Apple has to offer (iOS 9), you might be noticing that it's not showing up on your phone yet.  I know why!

It's about time. No longer will you have to watch irritating status updates in your Facebook news feed without the ability to show your scorn. Bring on the "Dislike" button. We are so excited to bring down the dislike thunder, we've been spending quite a lot of time deciding what updates we can't wait to dislike.

This is an editorial comment on a story that just broke this morning regarding a new change of policy on Facebook. I guess they are instituting a new "button" that gives you an alternative to the "LIKE" button. That's a good start, but what would be the all-purpose alternative...

Congratulations, you sneaky little cruise line company. You've outdone yourself with your tricky little telemarketing campaign of yours. Have YOU gotten this one?

I thought long and hard about the last iPhone post I wrote, hyping all of Apple's latest and not everyone can afford a new iPhone. The economy isn't THAT great - let's face it. So for those who haven't drank this year's Apple KoolAid, let's think of some ways to give your phone new life.
