Arcus uses the new Forecast.io (previously Dark Sky) API to get the most accurate, and most current weather information. Bold claims indeed but this app has to be used to be actual...[Read More]

HTC One after a week of heavy use

There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of reviews of the HTC One on the web – but that’s not what you’re looking at here. What I’m hoping to do is give those of you who are on the fence about the HTC One a shove in one direction or another. So, what were my concerns BEFORE I bought my HTC One? Will the battery be good enough? This was the main reason I sold my Nexus 4. I ...[Read More]
