Thanks to a top-secret presentation that was leaked earlier this month, many people have been wondering just how much surveillance they’re under with the PRISM program of the US government. The presentation the government didn’t want people to see, claims that the US government has backdoor access to user accounts at companies such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, and others. This is a big deal. One that these companies named must take seriously. One that needs attention. One that could have many ramifications down the road.

There are unique cases out there for the iPad, then there is the Grablet series. These cases are packed with potential and I’ve got two to bring to you. First up, today, is the Grablet Nomad.

There has already been a ton written about iOS 7, rightfully so, it’s a huge departure for Apple and iOS in many ways. There is a lot that has changed and I’m excited to really get a chance to play with it more. I love the styling, the design aspects, and the updates to many features such as Notification Center, Command Center, and Sharing Sheets. However, there are still some things many users had hoped Apple would bring to the updated OS, but didn’t. It almost seems like complaining for complainings sake, it’s not, I’m not…I’m just one who always believes there is room for improvement.
