Our lives can be stressful. Here's how your iPhone can help!

How do you keep your kids safe while they're playing Pokemon Go? Here are our top tips for parents!

The iPhone helped bring mobile into the future. Google Glass failed to do the same for wearables. What will the Apple Watch's fate be, and can psychology help us figure it out?

The only thing better than controlling your Ecobee3 Wi-Fi thermostat with your iPhone is... controlling it with your Apple Watch!

The Ecobee3 can be controlled by the on-device touch-screen, the ecobee3 iPhone app, and now also with the Apple Watch. I have to admit, even though it's limited, it's also absolutely amazing. The idea that I can monitor and control the climate in my house from the kitchen table, from bed, from the back porch, or from far away is something straight out of science fiction.

Ecobee3 is a wifi thermostat that's not owned by a data-collection giant, and has extra sensors for extra functionality.

Our friends at Android Central recently took a deeper look at Google's Nest, so we thought we'd do the same thing with the Ecobee3, which as thermostats go, might be even smarter. And we're starting with a hands-on install!

Our iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks can serve as magnificent distractions. They're mobile, so we can have them with us anywhere, and they're instantly accessible, so we can use them any time. That's the challenge we all face every day.

She's also an avid fan of technology who believes the hardware, software, and services we use every day can help us live better lives. In the debut of our new experts column, Georgia applies her experience to the topic of procrastination and how our gadgets can be transformed from distractions to powerful aids for getting things done.

Thanks to all our tech, Reddit, YouTube, and Candy Crush Soda — Oh, sweet, sweet Candy Crush Soda — are always right there, only a click or tap away... Yet our tech can also help us conquer procrastination and get things done. All it takes is the right strategy and the right apps!

Yes, I opted for the new iPhone 6 Plus because I've always wanted a bigger screen. A much bigger screen. And now I have it. For gaming, for watching videos, for surfing the web, it's just so much better that I'm willing to sacrifice the ability to easily type one handed. And yes, my Home screen is still pretty much default — I'm lazy! — so I'm including some of my favorite apps from my second screen as well. And yes, I still don't update applications very often. I don't like change. I don't like learning new interfaces, and I don't like that I can't go back to a older version of an app if anything goes wrong. It's my iPhone after all, and I get to use and abuse it just the way I want!

Apple launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus today and many of you either waited in line or waited by the door for the delivery person. The lines were long, the trucks were slow, and the computers... well, they went down in some places for a while! So, how was your experience?
