To kill switch or not to kill switch? That is the question! by Derek D. Rosario

To kill switch or not to kill switch- that is the question! 

Kill switch feature for smartphones are being fiercely opposed by major U.S. wireless carriers! Why? 

Would you like a kill switch feature on your phone in case it gets stolen? That means if your beloved phone gets stolen, you can disable your device and render the phone completely useless, oh the sweet revenge, right?  Might as well put a Fisher Price label on it! Ha!

But wait, hold up? Now they might kill the kill switch feature??? Who's "they"? "They" would be the major U.S. wireless carriers who wouldn't be able to profit off of having such a feature on smartphones!

Ok, so now you're probably wondering:

"Well, why would they NOT want this feature if it will protect the person's smartphone from getting stolen, or at least diminishing the chance it could get stolen?"

Apparently some have allegedly said that "the feature could be exploited by hackers" & also that it "can't be undone". But is this true? Hmmm. Others, however, say that this is motivated by sheer profit! How? Well, wouldn't they lose out on money for Insurance plans? Or how about reactivation of resold phones and sales of replacement phones? Of course it probably wouldn't stop the carriers from using it themselves once your contract expires! Besides, if you wanted to sell your phone to ANYONE it should be to www.sell.rebootcharity.org so proceeds can go to charity and not to fund anymore corporate pockets!

Apple phones v.s. Android phones

While Android phones want none of that, Apple, however, is able to add the feature without carrier approval since they control all their devices and hardware to the operating systems! After all, they DID just include a kill switch option called "Activation Lock" to their iPhones and iPads with the release of iOS7. Thank goodness since half of the staff here at Reboot Charity have Apple iPhones!

Sell your older, outdated phones to Reboot Charity, get top dollar!

What do YOU think?

So what's your take on it? Do you think the phone carriers should "kill the kill switch"? Would you feel safer knowing if your smartphone ever got stolen (*shudder) that you could just use the kill switch feature and make sure all of your data is protected? I'm going to have to go on yes to that one, personally.

I love my iPhone 5 Camera but…..

I love the camera on my iPhone 5 but it just can’t equal what I captured with my eyes…

We usually talk about iPhones here, but today I wanted to focus on our real mission. While living on the Kona Side of the Big Island of Hawaii for the past 20 years I have seen some of the best sunsets that this planet has to offer.  But last night was spectacular and I was privileged to see an amazing sunset.

Why?

A beautiful sunset taken with an iPhone 5s

Take a close look at this photo I took on my iPhone and you will notice a blue streak coming from the horizon.

This picture cannot produce the full impact of what I saw last night. Curious as to what caused this effect in the night sky I found that the probable cause of this phenomenon is the blockage of the sun by a thundercloud. Since we have been experiencing thunderstorms over Kona this seems to be a reasonable explanation.

After watching thousands of sunsets throughout my years here in Hawaii I have seen almost every hue imaginable. I’ve seen the magnificent Mauna Kea turn bright pink or purple as the sun drops below the horizon. I’ve also seen the green flash as the sun takes its final breath before it drops into the sea, but never in all of these years have I seen a blue streak, that is, until last night.....

Trading in Your iPhone the Charitable Way

Trade in your older phones at www.sell.rebootcharity.org

Apple iPhones are all the craze these days. From young adults to office-going folks to senior citizens, everybody’s just got to have one. Reminds me of the way laptops were introduced for the very first time; just about everybody I knew wanted to have one.

With companies like Apple, where innovation and creativity are at the pinnacle, it is quite common for phones to start losing their edge after just a year or so. New and improved models keep arriving on the shelf, offering far better features at around the same price.

So, what do you do with your old phone?

Do you give it away to a friend or family member?
