VI Headset: First Ever Bluetooth Headset with AI Run Coaching (Video)

I’m not a runner. I wish I was, though. I live in a part of NYC that has a beautiful park along the river that is pretty much the perfect spot for running, but I’m just not good at running. Like at all. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve gone for a run and the treadmill is basically my idea of torture. So when LifeBeam reached out and told me they might have a gadget that could help, with a deep sigh at the upcoming anguish I was about to endure, I said sure. Sign […]

How to Get the Most Live TV Online for the Least Money

I did a video on watching TV without cable a while back, but since then, there’s been a lot more options to come out–and frankly, much better ones. Competition has begun in the online live TV space and, as is the one nice thing about competition, that means their prices and offerings are getting better and better. Because of all this lowering of prices and healthy competition, I wanted to see something. I was curious what is the most channels you could get for the least amount of money.

How to Make the Apple Logo on Your iPhone Light Up Like a Macbook (iPhone 7 & 7 Plus) (Video)

Well, thanks to the response from you guys for the iPhone 6/6 Plus light kit and the iPhone 6S/6S Plus kits I put together, here’s how to make the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Apple logo light up like it does on a Macbook. Now, there was a bit of a delay getting the iPhone 7 kit to work and the main reason is the fact that Apple changed the way the screen connects to the motherboard. In the previous versions of this kit, we ended up leeching power from the back of the screen and that essentially allowed the

How to Share Gifs to Instagram

The internet is obsessed with gifs. Cat gifs, gifs from TV shows, movies, celebrities making odd faces and more that people now use to post as small animations on the web to further get across the more specific emotion they are feeling (nothing says good job like that Drake gif of him clapping. That’s just correct). And while everyone shares these on a variety of social networks, there’s one that won’t accept them: Instagram. Instead if you try to upload a gif to Instagram, you simply get the first frame/image of the gif and, let’s be real Drake just sitting

Uber Broke Apple’s Rules and Got Caught

This story has been going around the internet that originated on the New York Times’ site –feel free to read it there in full detail. The article essentially discusses Uber’s CEO, Travis Kalanick, and how his “drive to win in life” has caused a lot of issues for him and his company. The big part of this article that all the subsequent articles focus on is the fact that in 2014 Uber used a method called fingerprinting to leave information on iPhones even after they were erased so they could track them. Those articles usually don’t mention why Uber apparently did this.

How to Use Apple Clips

Apple recently launched an entirely new app called Clips. The name is pretty apropos, too, considering it allows you to take multiple short video clips and combine them together, add text or graphics easily and produce an end video super easily. But, as with Apple, there’s no instructions on how to use Clips exactly, so I figured I’d do a quick rundown and tutorial for anyone wanting to try this new app out. The app is super minimalistic and simple actually, and opening it just opens directly to a camera that you can tap three options underneath to start getting

How to Jailbreak iOS 10.1.1

Luca Todesco, the Italian jailbreaker that showed off jailbreaks in the past without releasing them has finally released a jailbreak of his own. His tool, called Yalu, works to jailbreak iOS 10 up to iOS 10.1.1. Unfortunately, iOS 10.2 is out so that means this will only work for those that haven’t updated to 10.2 yet and will, of course, become obsolete as more people update to 10.2 (since you can’t downgrade back to 10.1.1). But, if you are on iOS 10.1.1 or a lower version of iOS 10, feel free to follow the steps below to get jailbroken and
