Well fellow Squarespacers, it's finally here! Apple finally came through and after months of reviewing and accidentally uploading the beta, the real app in live in iTunes.

This app is perfect for a Squarespacer who has a blog or just wants to check their stats on there page. Features include Blog management, site stats, posting blogs, preview, multiple accounts, editing post, even uploading multiple images in real time to your site.

Many users like myself have been waiting for this app to come out and I'm happy to say it's amazingly simple, smooth, and easy to use program that just works. For God sakes if you have an iPhone, check it out because it's FREE. Of course you do need a Squarespace account but if you don't, try the 14 day free trial on the site, and if you want 10% off every monthly payment, use our coupon code t3chh3lp.

As much as i love it, there are three things i wish it would have. First for stats, I wish it would say if the view were unique, page views, or robots like it shows in the picture. Also I am a editor for this site but not Full account, I'm only an add-on and for some reason I can't add it on my accounts. Third I wish i could re-size photos and select where they are in the text rather than have all the photos at the top of the post.

All in all it is a great program I would have easily paid for but because the good people at Squarespace are so nice, it's FREE -- Get it here

Stream Your Xbox/PS3 Like Slingbox

The Spawn-720 is like a Sling-box for console games, letting you play most systems through a streaming client on you PC. It has been tested and isn't as expensive as some may think.

For those who don't know what a Sling-box is, it's a device that streams your videos from you computer/TV or what ever.

The Spawn HD-720 is great because you can use it to have "local play" over the internet! So does that mean possibly not paying for Xbox Live if you want to play custom games all day with your friends? The system costs about $200 but just like PS3 online, no monthly fees to use their system.

Poll: Most Mac Owners Have Windows Too

Oct 25, 2009

The NPD survey found that at least 12% of US households own a Mac but 85% of those people also own a PC. The weird thing is that most PC owners don't own a Mac. I find most loyal PC users complain with the same problems like its too much or its less developer friendly.

When I look at the video comments for Apple's new Windows 7 commercial, most were from angry PC owners who hated Apple and complained about Apple.

I myself had a PC until I was 12-years-old and then I got a Mac. Now my house has a Mac for everyone in the house so about 5 and 2 PC's.

Do Windows owners hate Apple THAT much?

Life after Thumbdrives - Dropbox Making It Easy to Share Files.

So I recently discovered this new site Dropbox.com which has their product called Dropbox! What is Dropbox you might ask? It's a FREE service(for 2 gigs) that links everything you put into in throughout your linked computers, IPhone, and internet. Still don't understand? Hopefully this video will explain better.

Try it out, its completely free for 2 gigs and you get extra space when you get you friends to join or a few other things. I've been using it for months now and it's such a great thing when working with people near and far and i must say the IPhone app is much more polished than apple's IDisk app...MUCH better.

Are You A Student?

Oct 16, 2009

Currently most programs for professionals cost hundreds if not some, thousands of dollars. With being a student right now, times are hard but their is hope!

I recently discovered Academic Super Store, its a great site for students to get programs for SUPER cheap. Example: Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production usually cost $1700 but at Academic Super Store you get it for only $508!!

Check it out, its reliable, fast, and user friendly.

Are We Marked As Dogs By The Rich?

Oct 16, 2009

World,

Now I know T3ch H3lp is about Tech and new things coming to help and improve our life but i found something that is a big issue in America and is a little offbeat. Most countries other than the U.S. have FREE health care and for the most, it works great! We sadly in the U.S. don't and are currently fighting for or against it.

The story I found is a perfect example of WHY we NEED either a national system OR massive reform. Besides millions of Americans being thrown out of their homes, being bankrupted by medical bills, their are other sad stories about people who DO have healthcare like Mr. Pearl.

Mr. Pearl is a 37 year-old muscular dystrophy patient who lives in the state of New York. In the state of New York, it is against the law for insurers to discriminate against individuals who summit large claims. So when Mr. Pearl stated his high-cost claim to his insurance company Guardian, they decided to cancel its entire line of coverage in the state of New York because his treatment required about $1 Million a year. In an e-mail between executives and obtained by the Washington Times, it said one executive referred to patients like Mr. Pearl as "dogs" the company could just "get rid of".

What has the U.S. come to when people who need help the most are denied by people sitting in their big billion dollar mansions, private jets, and more as they send people to the death beds?

I believe that if not a nationalized healthcare plan, SOMETHING MUST be changed. Oh and how do i relate this to tech you might ask, the simple use of e-mail to obtain the letter between executives, the tech used to help the man save a life and wondering how it really cost that much!

Think about it.

IPhone MMS showing wrong sender number!!

Recently i sent a picture message to my friend and this morning i asked him if he got it. He responded with no but somebody sent me this weird picture but i have never seen this number before. He showed it to my friend and I and i said that's my text but it wasn't my number.

I didn't think much of it but apparently this is happening to a lot. People have already contacted AT&T but nothing has changed and apparently people are still having the strange problems. Basically when i send a MMS to my friend it comes through as if some random person in my area or miles away sent it to him. Hopefully it will be fixed but funny how AT&T already has MMS problems after they took 2 YEARS!! to make sure it was,"A perfect experience."
