A large portion of retailers allow you to order products on their websites and subsequently collect the items at your convenience from your local store. Not only does it often shorten the waiting time from purchase to usage, but you can usually save a few dollars in the process.

When Apple released its latest and most changed version of iOS two weeks ago, bringing us up to version number 5.0, there was little-to-no doubt that the update would be considerable. If there is one thing that the iOS eco-system has over its Android competition, it's the fact that users tend to update their handsets and tablets to the latest version of iOS.
With Steve Jobs' eagerly anticipated biography hitting all major outlets in the last couple of days, many fans of the late innovator have consulted the iBookstore in order to get a closer look at the man behind the company.
We all hoped to see a LTE iPhone 5 earlier this month when the iPhone 4S was released. The best we got was "4G-like speeds" on AT&T with the update to a HSDPA antenna. Well, sources say we should expect to see what we've been asking for in 2012!

I’m sure readers of Redmond Pie already know about Find My Friends. It’s a location tracking app developed by Apple which was released on October 12th alongside iOS 5. I don’t know if it is fair to say this, but Find My Friends is definitely Apple’s version of Google Latitude - an imitation, essentially, of a similar service which all Android smartphones have been offering since 2009. It feels rather odd seeing an innovative company like Apple doing the copying (especially after calling 2011 “Year of the Copycats” in March). The copying done here, though, is not your regular half-hearted stuff: Apple has added some nifty features which sets their location-tracking tool apart from Google Latitude.
A new Cydia package called “SemiTether” jailbreak for iOS 5 is now available on BigBoss repository which basically helps reboot tethered-jailbroken iPhone and iPod touch without having to plug in your device into PC or Mac.
