Lifestyle Change
Growing up, my Dad was the techie of our house; we always had the latest sound systems and televisions available. When it came to portable, personal music devices, I had top of the line products (cassette player, Discman, mini-disc player, mP3 player) thanks to him. So last Christmas I decided to show my appreciation by buying him an engraved iPod nano. I figured since he used to enjoy his transistor radio as a teen, cassette player as a young adult, and Discman as an adult, he'd love the user friendly iPod. On Boxing Day, I sat down with my Dad and began describing how easy it was to put music on his iPod. I said "First you download iTunes. Then you buy music either with a gift card or your credit card. Then you sync the music to your iPod by plugging the cord into your computer." He didn't even get through downloading iTunes before he set the iPod to the side, jumped up from the table and said "I can't do it...this is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE!!" and walked away. My brother now uses the engraved iPod as a backup.

She ran upstairs, leaving all of us in confusion (everyone knows my mother is horrible at... Read More »
This'll stop those Internet thieves.

Pranking your mom? There's an app for that.
I convinced my mom that the lighter app on the iPhone actually heated up the phone. She was skeptical at first, but after 10 seconds of the top of my phone on a light bulb when she wasn't looking, thoroughly convinced her the iPhone can do anything.
