On some occasions, you may find yourself wanting to use your computer to connect to the Internet from places that do not have Wi-Fi access such as a train, airport or a coffee shop.
If you have an iPad Air, iPad PRO or the new iPad with a Cellular Data plan, you can use a feature called Personal Hotspot to connect your computer or other devices to the Internet through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB.
How is your memory these days? Given a set of numbers, how fast can you add them?
I was chatting with a close friend of mine and we both agreed that since we started adding phone numbers to our cellphone address books, we can barely remember our friends’ phone numbers any more!!
It seems that the same problem has happened since we started using calculators… We are very slow at performing the most basic calculations!!
Is it our age or is the fact that we are out of practice? Probably a little bit of both but the good news

Whether you are a professional, entrepreneur, business owner, real estate agent, professor, teacher, or student, you probably deal with PDF files on a daily basis. The ability to manipulate, highlight, and/or write comments on a PDF file becomes important and useful.
Up until recently, this type of manipulation of PDF files was reserved for desktop and laptop computer owners. I was recently asked by a friend whether it was possible to annotate and update PDF files on the iPad. The short answer is
Back in 2001 Apple introduced the iPod with the slogan “1,000 songs in your pocket”. Since then journalists and bloggers have been asking famous (and not so famous) people “What’s on your iPod?”
From music to videos, people would show their iPod content which would in turn be a non-traditional way of taking an X-Ray or disclosing their personality and tastes.
In 2010, Apple introduced the first iPad and by then the question mutated to “What’s on your iPad?”. Given the tablet’s capabilities for Apps, music, videos, video-conferencing, photos, Internet browsing, e-books, file sharing and more, we could say the same question becomes more powerful and meaningful.
A few days ago, I got a call from a friend asking for help. She had lost her iPhone and wanted to know if I could help her find it. I asked her if she had iCloud set up on her phone. The answer was no so there was not much I could do at that point. The story has a happy ending anyways. Luckily, she went back to the gym where she had worked out earlier that day and calling her phone while looking around she was able to find it.
I immediately thought: I should write a post and teach my readers how to take preventive measures against a situation like this one!
Let’s face it. It could happen to anybody. No matter how careful or organized you are, you may lose, misplace or forget your iPhone or iPad device.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a tool that helps you find it ?
Do you own a car?
How many hours do you spend commuting?
Traffic seems to be one of the biggest aggravations of driving in a big city. What could be worse than being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic after all? Mmm… maybe driving around in circles trying to find parking?!!!
The App I will be discussing in this post is most commonly used on the iPhone but also works well with the iPad.
If you have a car and iPhone or an iPad with a data plan you may want to give Parker a try.
As you spend more and more time using your iPad a pattern will emerge. There are certain Apps that you will find yourself opening on a daily basis.
But even if these Apps are located on the iPad first page or Home screen, depending on our location, you may still need to swipe back and forth to get to the App you are looking for.
Unless… you populate your favourite Apps onto the iPad dock
I have always loved music. I even took electric keyboard lessons for a short time when I was a boy. Of course, this does not qualify me as a musician but at least my love for music is there, right? ;-)
What about you my dear reader? Are you an amateur or experienced musician? Have you ever used the iPad to actually produce music?
A friend of mine who is a musician recently asked me if I knew any good sheet music Apps for iPad
Today’s information society has both benefits and drawbacks. We are constantly flooded with information and content, some of which is useful and some of which is junk. So how do we effectively consume and filter out what we want to read?
On your iPad, one possible solution is to use the Flipboard App. Flipboard lets you browse information from many different sources organized by topic in a digital magazine format.
You can create your own digital magazine and add stories (Flip) into it
