Once downloaded these files can be opened in many apps including Dropbox, GoodReader, or Camera+. Check out Camera , Dropbox, and GoodReader on the App Store.

Review: Bricson Colorshield for iPhone 4/4S

In this video I take a look at the Colorshield by Bricson for your iPhone 4 or 4S. This is, as the name suggests, a colored screen shield for your iPhone that not only protects it from scratches and minimizes the effect of fingerprints and glare on your screen but it can change the color of your iPhone. Buy your own pink, green, or white Colorshield from Amazon or visit Bricson for more information. Watch the video for details on how to win your own Colorshield.

Mailbag iPad, iWork, iCloud, Dropbox, and Cutting the Cord

Most of these questions have come in via email that have sat in my inbox for longer than I would like to admit. I detail how I use iWork on my iPad with iWork on my Mac, better ways to upload documents to Dropbox on the iPad, and canceling cable.

Skech Hard Rubber for iPhone 4S

   In this video I review the Hard Rubber case by skech for the iPhone 4/4S. This is another excelent product by Skech utilizing superior materials and construction. I really think anyone that is looking for a simple case for their iPhone this Christmas season should give this case a good look. Buy yourself one on Amazon in one of the many available colors.

Review: Skech Porter iPad 2 Portfolio Case

In this video I unbox and review the Skech porter case for the iPad 2. This case has quickly become my favorite case for the iPad and has replaced my Smartcover/Booq sleeve combo that I have been using since the iPad 2s release.

This case is set apart by its great construction, high quality materials, and a perfect fit. The materials used in this case really make it something special. The faux leather used in this case rivals real leather. It has a very dull finish and is stiffer than most fake leather used on cases in this price range. Get your own Skech Porter on Amazon in a variety of colors.

Canon T3i Unboxing and Video Test

In this video I unbox and give a quick example of the video quality of the Canon EOS T3i DSLR camera using the 50mm 1.8 EF lens. Going forward I will be using this camera for all of my videos so the quality will be much improved. Stick around at the end for some sample video shot with the camera.

Installing 16GB of Ram in a 27" iMac


In this video I install 16GB of RAM from OWC in my mid 2011 27" iMac. This procedure is identical for all 27" iMacs as well as the 21.5" models. One of the big advantages of the new 2010-present iMacs are the 2 additional ram slots allowing me affordable get to 16GB. The performance of my iMac with 4x the standard ram is easily noticeable, however when really pushing my machine (final Cut, iTunes, iPhoto ect. ect.) I am occasionally still seeing some page outs indicating I am running out of physical memory.


With the relative low cost of ram I would recommend all users, Mac or PC, upgrade to the max ram that their hardware can support. This is especially true for machines running Mac OS X Lion. I have found Lion to be slightly ram hungry when compared to the same configuration running on Snow Leopard.
