Rotten Apple
Soon after Apple released the latest iPhone last month, consumers found that holding the phone in the usual manner — palm against the back, fingers along the sides — can reduce the device’s signal strength to nil. This, to say the least, is a major flaw: One should be able to walk and talk on a cell phone without gripping it in some exotic way. To fix the glitch, Apple is now issuing free plastic-and-rubber bumpers that go around the phones and limit interference with the external antenna. Who would have guessed a glorified rubber band could save one of the decade’s most-hailed devices?

How to get a custom closet on a do-it-yourself budget
(ARA) - Both fashion and budget-conscious Americans alike are taking better care of their clothing and other possessions, starting with how they store them. But if you haven't been reading today's most popular home and style magazines, sneaking a peak inside your neighbor's closets, or house-hunting lately, you might not have noticed: Closets have evolved from clumsy and non-functional to downright fabulous.
Sexy summer style
The ideal summer look is effortlessly chic. Try one of these fabulous yet simple styles that leave plenty of time to enjoy the sun - because summer beauty means less fuss and more fun.
A guide for teaching kids about responsible pet ownership
Is there a more perfect union of loyalty, love and friendship than the relationship between a child and pet? Probably not, as virtually any parent who has witnessed the positive effect pet ownership has had on a child will tell you.
Make your home appliance updates a local investment
(ARA) - The warmer months are the biggest moving time for Americans, according to Moving.com. With low housing prices continuing and the recent first-time homebuyers credit that ended in June, plenty of Americans will be unpacking boxes in new homes this summer and fall.
Six must-see cities in Texas
With some destinations, you can see everything there is to see, do everything there is to do, visit every attraction, and sample all the local cuisine in a single visit - but not in Texas.
Teens: Join Twilight's Nikki Reed to 'do something' good this summer
(ARA) - Are you a teen that is going to camp, hosting a neighborhood block party, or playing baseball this summer? Are you a parent who wants to encourage your child to do something good for others or get more involved in their community? This summer, join the Do Something 101 school supply drive:
Antigua vacations are perfect for people who enjoy water activities
If you enjoy spending time at the beach and taking part in water activities, there are few vacation destinations better than Antigua in the Caribbean.
Colorado vacations: Try these drives on scenic byways
In some places, it takes a few hidden turns and some serious searching to get to that scenic area you're looking for. But if you were traveling through Colorado, you would have to try pretty hard to avoid stunning scenery, as even the state's major expressways provide spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains.
Paradise Island vacations really live up to their name
Looking for a summer vacation spot where you can get away from it all and just relax? Then you may want to consider booking a trip to Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
Can buildings help keep you healthy?
(ARA) - We spend 90 percent of our lives indoors, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A typical day can include traveling from home to work and back home again with a few periodic trips to schools, the grocery store, the bank, malls and entertainment venues. We depend on our homes, offices, retail stores and other structures to keep us safe; but can buildings also help keep us healthy?
Ten great ways to create a more productive workspace
(ARA) - The average person's day can be inundated with a laundry list of workplace and personal to-dos. Combine that with the fact many workloads have expanded due to more than two thirds of workforces cutting resources in 2009, and things can really get stressful. Overall, many workers don't feel they are truly productive day in, day out.
Looking for activity or relaxation? Lake Tahoe vacations offer both
If you're looking for one place that has it all, no matter the season and no matter what type of activities you are looking for, you could do a lot worse than heading to Lake Tahoe.
Can smarter closets smooth school days?
(ARA) - Experts say children with good organizational skills do better in school. Performing activities such as sorting and classifying when children are pre-school-age and older can help them acquire organizational skills. It may even help to build self-confidence and self-control, too. What better way to teach kids organization than by starting with their own clothes and toys?
