Spring Cleaning (Your Computer)

1. iPhone App Help
   Released last year, GoodGuide is an iPhone App that lets you scan in barcodes, and it will tell you if the product is environmentally friendly, if it'll kill your health using it, or if it's been made by the mafia ;)

2. Apple iTunes Store
   With 1,000 iPad products now in the store - along with music, movies, iPhone apps, etc. It's getting awful crowded on those shelves! There's no way to evaluate several products at the same time. It's hard to make a short list of things to go back to. And there's a lot of junk not
   supported anymore - just screaming for spring cleaning.

3. Cleaning Out Old Gadgets With Gazelle
   Ready to do some spring cleaning getting rid of old tech gadgets. Now really, how many old cell phones, mp3 players, or laptops do you have? Just go to Gazelle and tell them what you have. Then they'll price the resell value for you and if it sounds good to you - they'll send you a postage-paid box to ship it to them - they'll pay you by check, paypal or you could decide to donate the money to charity.
