Hello Everyone,
Simply put, I hate that annoying auto-complete drop-down list that appears when I enter a word or phrase in the Google search edit field.
Fortunately, someone much wiser than I discovered a URL that allows me to search Google free of drop-down list suggestions. The URL is:

I strongly urge you to bookmark this URL and pass it on to others.
“Piece at last, piece at last! Thank God Almighty, piece at last.”

What To Do If You’ve Forgotten Your iPhone’s Passcode
Some passcodes are so effective that even you can’t remember what they are. If you’ve locked yourself out of your iPhone, it’s not to complicated to get back in. Here’s how.
The Methods That Don’t Work
There are plenty of methods on the internet claiming to help you bypass the password you’ve set on your lock screen but most of them are ineffective. Older versions of iOS had a bug that allowed you to sneak in by making a fake emergency call. This no longer works. Other tutorials suggest that you can delete the passcode file from your iPhone’s keychain directory using iExplorer, iPhone Browser, or SSH on your jailbroken device. That no longer works either. We even tested to see if Find My iPhone’s passcode lock tool would allow us to set a new passcode lock and overwrite the one you’d forgotten. It does not. Read the rest of this entry »

SOME TIPS FOR SIRI AND IPHONE 4 S DICTATION
(I originally wrote this article for users of Nuance’s Dragon Dictation app. However, since the same engine is used for Siri and Dictation (the feature that lets iPhone 4S users speak text instead of typing it), we thought that we should update and republish it for the benefit of new iPhone 4S users.)

Hello Everyone,
At the time of this post, there are only two privacy settings from which you may choose when making a telephone call on the iPhone 4 S, to either show your outgoing Caller ID or to BLOCK/hide your outgoing Caller ID. Whichever you choose, there is no officially supported method to override the selected setting for each person in your Contacts list. Read the rest of this entry »
Hello Everyone,
Since October 7th, when iPhone 4 S went on pre-order, I decided for various sundry reasons not to purchase in favor of continuing to use my beloved iPhone 4. Since the 14th, however, I have been delightfully inundated by so many of you calling, texting, or emailing to either ask questions or confirm that you are so darn glad you took the plunge and updated to 4 S (Smile); I just couldn’t stand it anymore; the pressure was too great and I, in the “blink of an iPhone”, (get it (Smile)) decided to get one also.

Hello Everyone,
Recently, I was involved in an automobile accident involving three vehicles. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured. After we all determined that no life-threatening damaged was suffered, the driver and passenger of one of the cars involved had no idea how to proceed.
The following article, by the Automobile Club of Southern California will answer many questions as to what you should do when involved in an automobile accident.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT?
In the event you are involved in an auto collision, first take a deep breath and carefully survey the scene around you. Evaluate your condition; are you injured? Can you safely exit your car? Collect your thoughts before you act, and keep tensions under control. Make sure you turn the engine off and turn off any accessories (like headlights) that are not necessary. Most importantly, be polite and do not accuse anyone of causing the accident. Keeping a cool head and carefully exchanging information will allow you to meet your legal obligations while preserving your legal rights and options. Also, keep the thought in the back of your mind that sometimes an “accident” is no accident. Read the rest of this entry »
