Airbnb: Find Your Vacation Rental on iPhone

By

When going out-of-town or overseas, one of the first things you take note off is the lodging. Travelers, in many cases, go around town to find places to stay, and this can be quite a hassle, especially if most of the places are fully booked. This concern is readily addressed by an iPhone application that acts as an online booking and rental solution for bed and breakfasts: Airbnb.
The Airbnb application, just likeits website, lets users book and reserve their accommodations on the Internet, with the use of their mobile phone. The repository of rooms and bed and breakfasts is massive, providing you at least a decent number of lodging options all across the globe. This bodes well for practical travelers, as they won’t be forced to spend several nights at a pricey hotel.
Airbnb’s listing of bed and breakfasts is well organized. You can zone in on particular lodging types, such as Shared Room, Entire Place and Private Room. Booking a reservation is as easy as a few key presses on your phone’s keypad. The places lodging for lodging each have profile pages, through which you can message the owner for bookings and inquiries. Listed on the profile are images, amenities, rates and information about the property.
Apart from such, the iPhone application contains a map for each of the places listed. With this, you won’t go through a lot of trouble in finding the place. You can simply book through the app, head to the property and enjoy your vacation, leaving out boatloads of stress.
Also, if there are special offers given by property owners, Airbnb lists them all down on the Featured section. The already cheap bed and breakfast rates stand to get even more affordable, so make it a point to view this section from time to time.
People who want to rent out their properties can use Airbnb to find customers. Setting the rates can be a problem, and the application helps you out on this aspect. It has a feature that valuates your property, based on your location and other factors.
The financial transactions between host and guest happen on the application, with the app taking only a small percentage of the rental fee. The payments are routed through Paypal or Direct Deposit.
If you’re planning for the next trip and searching for some unique accommodations, check out the Airbnb app!

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
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

By
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

By
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...
