				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like a gross oversight, on Apple’s part, that there’s no external indicator for notifications on the iPhone. This means that unless you happen to see a push notification come through, you have to unlock your handset to see if you have any missed calls or text messages.<span id="more-422"></span></p>
<p>Apple tried to remedy this issue with a new feature in iOS 5 called LED Flash for Alerts. It uses the iPhone’s camera flash to alert users that they have new notifications, but for a number of reasons, this solution is far from perfect. Enter the new FLASHr case by Phaze5…</p>
<p>FLASHr is a cleverly-designed case for your iPhone 4 or 4S that uses reflective aluminum plating to bounce light from the camera’s flash, using the aforementioned Flash Alerts feature, through its translucent frame.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, this creates quite the light show whenever you receive a push notification. And when you’re ready to take a picture, Photography Mode slides a small plastic cover out of the way to reveal the flash.</p>
<p>Phaze5 is currently trying to raise $75,000 via Kickstarter to order the components it will need for its first production run. Thus far, the project has received about $25,000 in funding with 25 days left to go.</p>
<p>The FLASHr’s design is impressively innovative, and we’re sure it would make for a cool case. We just wish Phaze5 would have held off for a little bit, as we’re expecting to see a new, larger iPhone in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>But if you’re interested, you can score your own FLASHr by pledging $35. There’s dozens of colors to choose from and Phaze5 hopes to start shipping the cases as early as October.</p>
<p>What do you think of FLASHr?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s so easy to lose your laptop or get your phone stolen these days. Luckily, Prey helps you get them back, and today they added a new mobile-friendly webapp to make recovering your gadgets easier than ever.<span id="more-416"></span></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve talked about Prey many times before. It&#8217;s great for recovering stolen tech, and it&#8217;s super easy to set up, but so far its control panel—the webapp that helps you get your stuff back—has been designed for the desktop. Meaning, if you get your laptop stolen, you need to find another computer to help you get it back. Today, Prey released a mobile-friendly webapp that makes finding your stolen tech much easier. Just like the desktop version, you can lock your device, sound an alarm, track it via GPS, and more. To access it, just head to panel.preyproject.com on your iOS or Android device.</p>
<p>And if you haven&#8217;t installed Prey on all your devices yet, check out our guide on how to do it—it&#8217;ll only take you a few minutes, and you&#8217;ll have a much better chance of getting your gear back if lost or stolen.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month, Microsoft released an update to its My Xbox LIVE application that brought Xbox 360 control to the iPhone. The feature gave users the ability to control their consoles with an Apple-branded handset.</p>
<p>Yesterday, Microsoft released another update that brings that console control to the iPad…<span id="more-412"></span></p>
<p>From the app’s release notes:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Use your iPad with your Xbox to connect, control and discover content on your console. Connect your iPad for access to a quick list of your most recent console activity. Control your content with play, pause, fast forward and rewind media controls. Find fresh entertainment to play in the new Discover section.”</p></blockquote>
<p>While it doesn’t offer any advanced options, the control feature serves as a nice backup remote for your Xbox 360. Just make sure that the console has an active internet connection.</p>
<p>If you’re interested, you can grab the new My Xbox LIVE application from the App Store, for free.</p>
<p>What do you think of the updated iPad app?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You already know which web browser we think is best for Android, but just because we like it doesn&#8217;t mean you have to. Thankfully, there are dozens to choose from, all with different feature sets. This week, we want to know which one you think is the best for browsing the web on your Android phone or tablet.<span id="more-408"></span></p>
<p>There are dozens of browsers for Android available, not including the stock one that most of us get with our phones. The stock one is great, but it&#8217;s definitely lacking when it comes to advanced features. If you&#8217;re an iOS fan, don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;ll get around to your favorite picks next week, but we&#8217;re starting with Android! Leave your vote for the best Android browser in the discussions below.</p>
<p>Hive Five nominations take place in the discussions, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of nominations, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: BEST ANDROID WEB BROWSER. Please don&#8217;t include your vote in a reply to another person. Instead, make your vote and reply separate discussions. After you&#8217;ve made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.</p>
<p><em>About the Hive Five</em>: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get: &#8220;Which tool is the best?&#8221; Once a week we&#8217;ll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we&#8217;ll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best.</p>

<p>The new section would showcase a number of applications regarding the topic, that previously got lost in the gigantic Lifestyle section. And now it’s live…<span id="more-405"></span></p>
<p>As noted by <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2012/07/12/new-food-and-drink-category-goes-live-in-the-app-store/#more-200742">9to5Mac</a>, the new Food and Drink category is now live in the App Store.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;ve shared numerous cables and tools you should have in your go bag, but the last thing you want is to root through piles of stuff just to find one charger. The Mojo Treble Keychain combines an iPhone charger, Android charger, SD card reader/thumb drive, and SIM-ejecting pin into one, tiny tool.<span id="more-399"></span></p>
<p>This little keychain (available in black or white) packs a ton of stuff into a small space, letting you charge and sync nearly any phone and store data like a thumb drive (via the micro SD card reader) through its USB connection. It also comes with a small pin for ejecting your phone&#8217;s SIM card, but it&#8217;s also perfect for resetting a router or performing any other &#8220;pin reset&#8221; task, making this a great tool to have with you wherever you go. It costs <a href="http://www.amazon.com/iBattz-Keychain-Ejection-MicroSD-blackberry/dp/B007SGNOVQ?tag=gmgamzn-20">$25 on Amazon</a>, but considering a normal charging cable from Apple costs $20, that&#8217;s actually a pretty good deal.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pandora has released a major update for its iOS application this weekend, bringing it to version 3.2. The new app includes a refreshed UI, and several other welcomed enhancements.</p>
<p>Among the new features is a modification to the app’s architecture, which, Pandora claims, greatly reduces the amount of battery life it uses. Keep reading for the full change log…<span id="more-391"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://davidknowsall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/pan1.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-392 alignnone" title="pan1" src="http://davidknowsall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/pan1.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="432" /></a><a href="http://davidknowsall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/pan2.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-393 alignnone" title="pan2" src="http://davidknowsall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/pan2.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="432" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New features in Pandora 3.2 include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Visual refresh and design enhancements</li>
<li>Full lyrics for the songs we play</li>
<li>Artist biographies</li>
<li>Detailed track features from the Music Genome Project</li>
<li>Song history: rate, bookmark, or buy previously played tracks</li>
<li>Explicit lyrics controls</li>
<li>Start a new station directly from the Now Playing screen</li>
<li>Simplified sign-in and registration screens</li>
<li>Reduced battery usage</li>
</ul>
<p>The update really makes for a more cohesive user experience. I like the new look, which follows the recent Instagram-esque design trend, and new features like Artist Biographies and Song History are a nice touch.</p>
<p>I haven’t been using version 3.2 long enough to notice any kind of significant impact on the battery life of my iPhone4S, but even the slightest improvement would be helpful at this point.</p>
<p>The app, as always, is free, and can be found in <a title="App Store" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pandora-radio/id284035177" target="_blank">the App Store</a>. And then of course, Pandora is still offering its ad-free $3.99-per-month Pandora One service.</p>
<p>So, what do you think of the new Pandora?</p>

<li>Click on the start menu and type &#8220;Edit Power Plan&#8221; into the search box. Choose the Edit Power Plan option when it comes up.</li>
<li>Click the &#8220;Change Advanced Power Settings&#8221; link at the bottom of the window.</li>
<li>Choose the power plan from the top dropdown that corresponds to what you use when you&#8217;re on battery power (by default, this is &#8220;Balanced&#8221;). Scroll down to &#8220;Battery&#8221; and click the plus sign next to it.</li>
<li>Here, you&#8217;ll want to tweak two things: Low Battery Level and/or Critical Battery Level. Low Battery Level corresponds to the first alert you get, that lets you know you&#8217;re running out of battery. Reserve Battery Level is the second alert you get, letting you know that your computer will hibernate soon, and Critical Battery Level corresponds to when your computer goes into hibernation.</li>
</ol>
<p>By tweaking these, you&#8217;ll be able to give yourself a bit more of a heads up before your computer dies, giving you enough time to finish whatever you&#8217;re doing. Of course, while you&#8217;re at it, you should also make sure you&#8217;re doing everything you can to maximize your battery life—that way you&#8217;ll run into those &#8220;oh crap&#8221; situations less often.</p>
<h3>Low Battery Saver Adds More Options to OS X&#8217;s Alerts</h3>
<p><a href="http://davidknowsall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/mac.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-380" title="mac" src="http://davidknowsall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/mac-300x134.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="134" /></a>OS X doesn&#8217;t let you tweak your battery alerts, but you can download a $1.99 app called Low Battery Saver that gives you a few more options in how your laptop warns you. When you start up the app, you have the option to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Put your computer in Safe Sleep mode when it has a certain number of minutes left. This is particularly useful for old MacBooks that no longer hibernate properly when the battery runs out.</li>
<li>Provide an extra battery warning besides OS X&#8217;s built-in one, at a time of your choosing.</li>
</ul>
<p>Low Battery Saver gives you warnings based on how much time your battery has left, not a percentage level, which can be handy. However, if you have an old computer and haven&#8217;t taken care of the battery properly, this value may be incorrect, so you&#8217;ll want to stay on the more conservative side and add an extra few minutes to the notification.</p>
