Create Medical ID In the Health App One of the most-hyped features of iOS 8 is the Health app and the framework that lets other apps share its data, Healthkit. Based on the apps you have that provide information to it, Health can track all kinds of information, such as your exercise and fitness, the quality of your sleep, your blood pressure, and much more.One subtle, but very important, feature of Health is Medical ID. This is the iPhone equivalent of an emergency contact form, a file in your iPhone that provides pertinent medical, pharmaceutical, contact, and personal information that first responders will need to help you if you're in an emergency situation. In a circumstance where you need a Medical ID, you may already be in some trouble, so setting one up now could help you later. What you'll need: An iOS device running iOS 8 or higher To create your Medical ID: Begin by tapping the Health app to open it In the bottom right corner of the app, tap Medi

Despite decades of sending sounds and pictures into space no aliens have responded. Have we been doing it wrong? Tracey Logan investigates, and discovers some novel attempts to make contact – including the smells of our planet. Artist Carrie Paterson has long dreamed of beaming messages far out to the emptiness of space. Except her messages would have an extra dimension – smell.By broadcasting formulae of aromatic chemicals, she says, aliens could reconstruct all sorts of whiffs that help to define life on Earth: animal blood and faeces, sweet floral and citrus scents or benzene to show our global dependence on the car. This way intelligent life forms on distant planets who may not see or hear as we do, says Paterson, could explore us through smell, one of the most primitive and ubiquitous senses of all. (Wikipedia)It is nearly 40 years since the Arecibo facility sent messages out into space (Wikipedia)Her idea is only the latest in a list of attempts to hail intelligent life outs

If your iPhone won't charge, it may be time for a new battery (and, since the iPhone's battery can't be replaced by the average user, you'll be paying for that service along with the battery itself). But not necessarily. There are a number of things that could be interfering with your iPhone's ability to charge its battery. Try these things before you head out to replace your iPhone battery. 1. Restart iPhone   You'd be surprised how often restarting your iPhone can solve problems you've having with your device. It won't solve the more serious problems, but if your phone won't charge, give it a restart and try plugging it in again. Get instructions on how to do this in the linked article.  2. Check USB Cable On the hardware malfunction front, it's also possible that there's a problem with the USB cable you're using to connect the iPhone to your computer or power adapter. The only way to test this is to get access to another iPhone

Apple's Touch ID (fingerprint reader) has been around for awhile now, but up until iOS 8 came out, you really couldn't do anything with it except use it to unlock your phone. Apple has now opened up Touch ID for use in 3rd party applications. Here are 5 innovative apps that take advantage of Touch ID technology: 1. 1Password 1Password, arguably, one of the most popular password management apps around, is now touch ID enabled. 1. 1Password  iOS app now has the ability to use Touch ID to access your password data store.

Dropbox   Popular cloud storage provider, Dropbox, has also added Touch ID support for authenticating to your Dropbox storage account. Once you've enabled Touch ID support in Dropbox, the app will prompt you to place your fingerprint on the reader each time the app is opened. No

Introduction  A question commonly asked by people thinking of using Linux for the first time is “will it work for me?”. To be able to answer that question I would need to understand the background of each user asking that question. I would need to know the current hardware setup, the operating system they are using, what software packages they commonly use, their computing experience in general and the reason why they are thinking of using Linux in the first place. By the very fact that as a potential user you are reading this article it suggests to me that there is something wrong with your current setup and you are exploring your options. In this guide I am going to look at some common scenarios and explore whether Linux is indeed the right option.  Your Current Operating System  There are a number of potential operating systems that you could be currently using including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and of course OSX. Windows XP used to be Microsoft’s fla
