  • _Greetings!_

    Another week is here, and the weather has been pretty nice lately. It seems that we’ve been able to enjoy the last bits of summer as it comes to an end, even though Labor Day weekend was a bit rainy.

    I had a nice holiday weekend in Rhode Island, and packed the long weekend full of as much fun as I could!

    We have a great group of articles lined up for you, and as always, enjoy the week!

  • Rumor Mill: The 'iPhone 5C'

    The latest and brightest design in the Apple rumor mill is a phone with comparable features to the iPhone 5, but a cheaper design — the iPhone “5C.”

    The rumored 5C is said to be a cheaper design with a plastic back available in five new pastel colors — perhaps coordinated to match the new iOS 7 color scheme? Featured colors would possibly be a white, blue, yellow, green, and coral. (Again, not verified nor sanctioned by Apple!)

    As we all eagerly await the new iPhone, this particular design might bring an entirely new market to the Apple world. In recent history, Apple hasn’t made this kind of effort to bring their standard of technology to a lower income market. This does, however raise the question, is Apple slowing down their pattern of innovation or possibly taking a lateral step in the technological game?

    Time will tell! Stay tuned to our “*Barkings! blog*”:http://blog.smalldog.com in the coming weeks for new product news, as well as our “*Twitter feed*”:http://twitter.com/hellosmalldog for any live coverage!

  • Recycle Your eWaste for FREE: September 21

    Come join us for our Annual eWaste Recycling Event in Rutland, VT. We’ll be collecting all manner of electronic waste (well, maybe not __all,__ so “**see the list of accepted materials here.**”:http://www.smalldog.com/recycle?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=KB-ewaste) on **Saturday, September 21st from 9am – 2pm.**

    If you’re unsure of what ewaste is, then listen up. As you may know, we use a lot of electronics in our daily lives, and unfortunately, many of them contain hazardous materials such as mercury or lead. In the last few years, Apple has manufactured devices and machines free of toxic materials, but chances are, you may have older “electronic waste” around the house that you need to get rid of responsibly.

    Come out and join us!
    * **Saturday, September 21st, 2013 in Rutland, VT from 9AM to 2PM**

  • Rumor Mill: New iPhone With Biometrics

    Many rumors have been spreading around the web about what the new iPhone will bring us, although most of these rumors haven’t been confirmed or are all based on speculation.

    With that said, one stood out to me in particular. According to Mayor Bloomberg’s office, the next iPhone will come with a fingerprint (or biometric) sensor built into it. You might be asking yourself, why would the Mayor of New York City would make such a speculation in the first place on the iPhone?

    Interestingly enough, the mayor has been concerned with the ever-growing iPhone theft problem growing in his city, which accounted for 3,890 incidents in 2012. Biometric locks on these new iPhones would vastly improve the security of the devices and hopefully lower the incentive to steal an iPhone.
