apps

Today I had the distinct honor of filling in for Richie with "Tech Talk", if you are unaware it is a feature we do every Wednesday at 7:20 am in which we try to find ways that technology can help you in your everyday life. This week , I tried to find a couple of fun "Apps" that you could try and maybe even make things more fun if not easier for you.

On this week's tech talk we will tackle everyone's favoritist subject - food!  I have a great food app, and a fantastic piece of food related gadgetry to boot.  Are you ready to get your geek on?  Here we go

Ladies - I'm working for you here.  You're very busy people - juggling work, family, and maybe some fun in between.  You need ways to organize it all, and your handy dandy smart phone can help with the right app.  I've got 3 for you.

Big TV news (and I mean that literally) is being unveiled in Las Vegas this week at the Consumer Electronics show.  You wouldn't believe the size of this TV! Also, a great couple of apps for your hard working mothers out there (maybe I should rephrase that)

Are you the frantic type when it comes to getting everything ready for Thanksgiving? Are you bored with your recipes and looking for something unique this year?  Ok- everyone say it at the same time-   "There's an app for that"

Is your pasword strong? Is it easily hackable!  Most are, believe it or not.  We'll count down the stupid ones.  I also have a very dumb app that is extremely popular (go figure) and some very intelligent questions for our computer gurus at Computer Renaissance.  Let's do  it, shall we?

On this week’s tech talk, we have a gadget that brings new meaning to “Big Brother is Watching”.  In this case, he’s a dentist.

Junk mail? Who even gets mail anymore? If your physical mailbox is still overloaded with pre-Internet spam, there’s now a digital way to put an end to it.

Troy Orner is a dad that has 8-year-old triplets. Like most dads, his concern is to keep his children safe. In this case, he’s looking into a high tech future.

Do you play Angry Birds?  According to statistics, you probably do.  It's probably one of the most popular smart phone downloads in history . Well there's a new version out, and who better to show you it than an actual astronaut?  Check out this video

Don't blame me for this one.  I'm only the messenger, but if you want to exercise and lose weight, what better way than to have the "you know what" scared out of you at the same time using your smartphone.

Have you checked out the new radioPup 2.0? The same mobile app that lets you listen to WGNA anywhere you go now includes the latest posts, videos, and pictures from our website; up-to-date weather forecasts; and commenting with Facebook.
