Alright, this one is an amazing app for you folks that download movies or TV shows on your computer, but maybe you aren't near your computer to watch the show. With the VLC Streamer app you can stream video content directly to your iPhone or iPad.
How cool is that!! Maybe its an extended stay in the washroom, relaxing in the bedroom or you have to share your computer..
There is a free version which has a small ad banner running along the bottom of your video, the paid version for $1.99 gets rid of the ads and always you to transfer video's directly to you iPhone without having to use iTunes.
 As with most apps like this one, there is a program that you need to install on your PC or Mac that allows you to connect your device with your home computer. I found it very easy to install and no real setup requered. If you have trouble connecting your device, there are some really help tips to troubleshoot.
For more questions or if you have an app that we must know about, email us today at

Most of us are familiar with the little pop-ups we get asking us to install updates. While they only take a few minutes to complete, many of us are guilty of postponing them or just ignoring them completely. But keeping up with these computer updates is actually very important when it comes to having a healthy and secure computer. These updates are just as important as having an anti-virus program.
One of the biggest and most important reasons keeping up with computer updates is so important is the fact that they help to keep our computer secure. While they may not directly say so, a lot of these updates have to do with updating our security software a nd ensuring our computers are kept safe from any possible threats. Not updating or postponing these security updates can leave your computer vulnerable to things such as malware or computer viruses that can go in and steal important information.
Some of the most common updates are:
- Windows or Apple OS updates
- Java
- Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Adobe Flash Player
- Microsoft Office
- Quick Time
- iTunes
If you have any questions or feel its been awhile since you've done any updates,
call us and book a service call or remote service call 250-338-4411 |
