Whether your AppleCare is expired or you opted not to extend it, out of warranty replacements through Apple can be expensive. If you aren't comfortable performing a DIY repair on your own, that may leave you looking for a repair company that's either local to you or accepts mail-ins that can perform the repair for you.

Unfortunately, not all of them use quality parts and/or know exactly what they're doing. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing a third party iPhone, iPad, and iPod repair company.

Briefs 2 review: Quickly and easily prototype iOS and Android apps on your Mac

By Nick Arnott, Wednesday, May 1, 2013 a 9:06 am

"Providing a clean interface and intuitive layout, Briefs offers an easy way to prototype apps, share ideas, tweak functionality, and adjust designs as new feedback arrives and your project evolves. It’s an app made for professionals, by professionals."

Briefs 2 is a Mac app by MartianCraft that allows you to quickly and easily create, edit and share prototypes for iOS and Android apps. Prototyping allows you to hash out features and designs before full development on a project begins, when it’s still easy and relatively inexpensive to make changes. A handful of iOS prototyping tools exist, but many of them have either fallen out of date or are simply lacking in functionality. Briefs seeks to provide a truly complete and professional solution for designers and developers. How well does it do?

Complete with smart streams, Google Reader import options, and read it later integration for both Pocket and Instapaper, it may be a better option for those who don't like the more dynamic interfaces of apps like Feedly or Flipboard.

Where's the Monday Brief? Or: 4K is hard!

By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Apr 30, 2013 a 10:29 am

It began, as many things do with an idea -- we had our Monday Brief host, Ashley Esqueda in NYC for #TM13, along with all our site editors, Kevin Michaluk, Phil Nickinson, and Daniel Rubino, yours truly, and Georgia, and we had Martin Reisch and his RED Scarlet 4K camera.
