Spotify Premium for iOSHow the world has changed since the iPod gave us 1,000 songs in our pocket. Now, through the Spotify Premium service, we have access to 15 million songs. Plus, it allows us to take all of our playlists no matter if we’re connected or not. A feature that separates  from Pandora. I absolutely love Pandora, but I travel a lot and when I do there’s usually several mountains or valleys with horrible reception and thus no access to Pandora.
This is where the premium version of Spotify comes in very handy. All of those songs you know and love are accessible for offline playback. The app is worth its weight and gold for this feature alone. There is nothing more annoying than hitting the chorus in “Champagne Supernova” and having it crack, snap and pop in and out of reception because of poor cell service. 
But why spend hard earned cash when you can setup a playlist on your iPhone with your current library? One word. Selection. Sure, we all have our favorite go-to songs, but we can only listen to them so many times before wanting to listen to something different. That’s why Spotify is so great. It provides 15 million songs at your fingertips and all just for $9.99 per month. These new discoveries can then be saved for offline playback as well.
Also, no commercials. That’s another very annoying aspect of not only radio, but other streaming music apps. It usually happens when I’m getting into a groove and the beat has taking me into another world and whammy, I’m told about a useless product that if I wanted it I would have looked it up on Google.
The premium service provides even better sound quality with the service delivering a higher bitrate of up to 320kbps. However, not all tracks are available at the higher quality. Another sweet feature is the ability to connect to your Sonos wireless music system and stream music to any room in the house.
Spotify Premium is perfect for those who want enhanced audio quality, exclusive content and a nearly endless supply of commercial  goodness. Also, the ability to take your favorite playlists wherever you’d like is the icing on the cake. And at the cost of one album per month, it’s an easy recommendation for any music lover wanting complete control of their music experience. If you don’t want to jump in feet first, make sure to check out the 30-day free trial.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...
