#Tech: Near-Field Communication (NFC) Could Turn Smartphones Into Donation Engines
Near-Field Technology (NFC) allows short-range communications between an NFC antenna or engineered SIM card and a receiver. The communication is good only up to a couple of feet, which might help make it a secure connection because eavesdroppers need to be next to the users. It is a technology that first appeared in Taiwan in 2007, […]
#Tech: Same Apps With Different Experiences On iPhone (5?) & Android
The rumor mill continues to grind as to whether and when an iPhone 5 will be coming to market, and what improvements it will have.

#Tech: Will The iPhone 5 Reinvent Mobile? In 2011? 2012?

#Tech: Mac Mini Server, Part 4 – Storage Options
Scott Caldarelli returns to continue his discussion of the advantages of the inexpensive Mac Mini Server for your office.

#Social Networks: Google+ vs. Facebook – Let The Debates Begin!
If you’re a social-networks maven, you’ve probably heard a lot, perhaps even too much, about the exclusive/VIP/by-invite-only launch of Google+. As noted earlier, I am not on that A-List (either), but many smart people not on that list have already begun to handicap the fight between Google+ and Facebook. My goal is simply to introduce some […]
