    Apps to help with your medications

    July 15, 2020 /

    Medications are important to many people for various reasons, but one thing is certain: managing your pills can be a pain. As PC Mike Wendland reports, a number of apps can help make medication management a breeze. RxSaver can help you save up to 85 percent when paying for medications. It’s 100 percent free and there are no membership fees. Simply search to see if RxSaver beats your health insurance. If the RxSaver prescription coupon offers a better price than your insurance copay, simply use the coupon instead of your insurance for the prescription. The app is free for iOS and Android. Once you have your medications, you need to…

    Apps to sell stuff

    November 20, 2019 /

    Garage sales are great for selling that stuff you don’t need or want anymore, but we’re heading into the time of year that isn’t exactly garage sale season. But as PC Mike Wendland reports, a growing number of apps can make it easy to sell your stuff and make a few bucks. Decluttr is great for buying and selling media like CDs, DVDs, video games, books and that old tech you have lying around, including cell phones, game consoles and tablets. Just scan the barcodes on your stuff with your device’s camera and get an instant offer price. Decluttr pays for your items by PayPal, direct deposit or check. The…

    PCM31: Breaking Down Apple’s ‘Incredible’ Yawner of an Event

    September 10, 2015 /

    Apple CEO Tim Cook promised “monster news” at the beginning of the company’s big event this week – and we’re still waiting. That’s because instead of monster announcements, we mostly received details about updates for Apple Watch, the iPad line, the all-new Apple TV, and the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Now, that isn’t to discount the large amount of interest many will have in these updates – after all, a company couldn’t get away with calling this snoozefest a “big event” if its products weren’t insanely popular. We’re just saying, unveiling the Apple Pencil isn’t exactly monster nor does it quite stack up to the 2001 announcement of iPod or the 2007…

    February 6, 2015 /

    Ever since becoming the company to make the most money ever during a three-month period, everyone’s been talking Apple. But here’s the thing: A lot of the discussion has been centered on Wall Street as opposed to the view from Main Street – what Apple’s success as a business means to the consumers who actually buy Apple products and services. That’s exactly what we talk about during this episode of the PC Mike Techcast with our special guest, Paul Sweeting, lead analyst at Gigaom Research and founder of Concurrent Media Strategies, a Washington, D.C.-based consulting and editorial services firm specializing in digital media technology and policy issues. “Apple needs to make big, category-defining, or…

    007PCM How Streaming Media Will Change Your World

    January 23, 2015 /

    Streaming media delivers a lot more choice and flexibility when it comes to consuming content, but it’s also creating a ton of media hype and confusion. So says Dan Rayburn, executive vice president of StreamingMedia.com and principal analyst at Frost & Sullivan, on this week’s PC Mike Podcast. “The thing we’re seeing in the market is that consumers have more choice and more flexibility with how they want to watch their content,” Rayburn says. “That being said, it’s still a very fragmented market.” Rayburn says the availability of so many devices (Google Chromecast vs. Roku, for example), each seemingly delivering different kinds of content and services like Netflix – not…
