Cell Phones

You're on vacation. You come across a landmark: the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, the Pyramids of Giza—or the world's largest rubber-band ball. You wonder, how tall is it really? But you didn't get the audio guide. Well, whip out your phone and use the Smart Measure app, and the knowledge will be yours in just a few seconds.

Well, what could possibly go wrong? If you get the Lockitron, you'd only be making it possible to unlock your door with your cell phone from anywhere in the world. At the same time, if you forgot something at home, a friend wouldn't have to pick up your keys to get it...

The iPhone's iOS6 upgrade has brought Siri closer to sentience. At least when it comes to movies; the "personal assistant" now evidently feels sympathy towards some of its misunderstood cinematic counterparts. Want to know Siri's take on 'Blade Runner'? It could make you look at it in a whole new light.

For many decades, losing your wallet was clearly the worst. Not only were you suddenly without means to pay for anything, but you had been displaced of much of your personal information and were facing hours and hours of dealing with credit card companies and the DMV. Fun! These days, a smartphone also packs a significant portion of your life into a small package that you carry with you everywhere

In case you've been living on a line to buy an iPhone 5, the new…wait, that wouldn't make sense. The iPhone 5 is out. It's sure to make the lives of everyone who purchase it at least 16.3% easier. The larger screen is gonna assist someone in finding the cure for cancer. Bank on it.

Currently, 10 states and the District of Columbia ban any cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle. According to a new survey from AutoTrader.com, though, most people would be okay if this restriction spread to the rest of the country.

Getting your hands on the iPhone 5 may be a real pain in the neck. And not for the reasons you may think.

People sure do love their iPhones, but they also can't seem to stop dropping them—good news for the booming iPhone-repair business. In fact, a recent accident survey by SquareTrade found that the American population has spent nearly $5.9 billion fixing their damaged phones since the first device hit the market in 2007.

The last three times I've been involved in a traffic accident or fender bender it's been the same story. Some asshole on his or her cell phone either talking or texting, not paying attention. I've been hit twice on the road and once in a parking lot by people who would rather talk or text than drive. Here's an ideal.
