Bleeding Edge TV 464: AnoStyle iPhone & iPad mini custom color service

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, CES, CES 2013, Design, Features, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos

We check in with AnoStyle, the service that custom colors your iPhone or iPad mini, at CES 2013 in this episode. We're big fans of AnoStyle's iOS device coloring service, where they strip off Apple's anodizing, and re-anodize the devices with coloring that is 40x stronger than what Apple uses. It's impressive, striking, and people stop us and ask about it all the time. Of course, my devices are orange and white, Gear Live colors, no doubt.

Be sure to also check out our full AnoStyle review, which takes a look at a black iPhone 5 colored pink, a white iPhone 5 colored orange, and an iPad mini colored orage as well! If you wanna get in on the fun, head on over to AnoStyle and use promo code INTERNATIONAL2013 to get $100 off the service, valid until Wednesday.


Bleeding Edge TV 457: Private tour of Apple Store Bellevue Square

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Features, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos

The Apple Store at Bellevue Square Mall was the first that the company opened here in the Pacific Northwest region of the country, way back in May 2003. At the time, it was a bold and innovative move, but as time went on and Apple's popularity surged with the introduction of the iPhone and iPad, the location became overcrowded. So what did it do? Rather than refurbishing the existing location, Apple began work on building a new, groundbreaking location on the upper level of Bellevue Square, right above the original and across the hall. As is typical when Apple has something under construction, the location was covered up under a shroud of  mystery until opening day. We were on hand as Apple opened its new, much larger Bellevue Square Apple Store, and were able to get a private tour of the location. As you'll find out in the video, the Bellevue Square Apple Store sports the largest glass-front display of any mall location, the first domestic skylight in an Apple Store mall location, and the first 360 degree Genius Bar, with 40 seats in total. All in all, the new location is about three times larger than the previous one. Check out the video for all the new hotness, and try and count the number of times that Duke Zurek uses the word "opportunity."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: CES, CES 2012, Features, Household, Podcasts, Videocasts, Videos, Wireless / WiFi

In this episode we show you how to install the Nest Learning Thermostat all on your own, using the simple instructions provided by the company in the box. Despite our love of tinkering with gadgets,It was a bit daunting to screw around with wires coming out of the wall. That said, it really is quite easy! Seriously - we've never done anything like this, ever, and were pretty unsure of ourselves, but as you see in the video, installing the Nest is a snap. As we've covered previously, the Nest Learning Thermostat monitors your temperature settings and aims to save you money by guiding you towards optimal settings, and also through its unique proximity sensors that can reduce energy consumption when it senses that no one is home. It connects to your home Wi-Fi network, and therefore it can be controlled from anywhere through the web interface or smartphone app.
