All right, well before we jump into your questions, we have a guest in the studio, Mike Khalil.

Mike Khalil is the SAInT Academy Coordinator at Sandalwood High School here in Jacksonville, Florida. Welcome to the show Mike.

Tell us first, what does SAInT in SAInT Academy stand for? Looking at your logo it looks like most of the letters in SAInT are in all caps?

What is an information technology academy?

And, what is it that you teach in the Academy?

How did the program begin?

Are the kids able to do hands-on work?

What are some of the benefits for students?

How do people and businesses in the community get involved?

Do students get college credit for the courses?

How do students get into the SAInT Academy? Is it a Magnet program?

XKCD How to be a computer expert flowchart

——

SAINT Academy is a program that allows students to fully experience high school while gaining skills in business and information technology. They earn a regular diploma, attend a regular neighborhood school, and attend regular classes. They take one or two computer-based electives per year, and get opportunities to compete against other students and meet important people in the community who can help them attain their college and career goals.

We recruit 8th graders while they are in middle school, and they begin the program in 9th grade, they stay in the program all throughout high school. It’s not just an elective, but a career-themed academy where we help students prepare for college and the workforce — writing resumes, interview skills, things like that, but since it’s IT it’s a little but different from most vocational academies. We’re fully aware that most IT workers go to college; it’s very hard to get a job in the field without a college degree, so we’re very focused on Academics as well as vocational study, and most our students in fact are in honors or AP classes.

Alright, thanks for coming in Mike. Before we let you go, where can people find out more information about the SAInT Academy?

SAINT web site: http://sandalwoodhigh.org/

Thanks again.

Alright, well, we have to take a quick break, but when we come back we have answers to your tech questions, a Debunkable segment, and we finally have a name for the App segment. You’re listening to Deemable Tech.

So we have a question that we answered a long time ago, but I’m not sure if we ever told the listener the answer! They sent us another email about it, and I couldn’t find the question in our previous show notes, so let’s answer it again.

Maliery writes: I was recently given the opportunity of updating my system. Ever since, whenever I send text messages, post on Facebook, or even write on the S note, my text all of a sudden gets erased. It’s similar to a CTRL+a action, but I do not perform this step. Also, my google keyboard fails after of number of selections of the predictive messages. I think if I select 5/6 words, it will stop working. None of things ever happened when I was using the prior Jelly Bean update. Galaxy S III

TOM: First of all, I have a question for you:

* Jen from ?The IT Crowd’: Have you tried turning it off and on. *

Yeah, the number one thing I would try is to reset your phone. Just hold down the power button while the phone is on. When the device options pop-up appears select reset and let the phone do its thing.

Hopefully that will clear it up. If you are using a keyboard other than the default keyboard, you can go to that application under Settings > Application Manager and then clear the cache. That will delete all the data stored for the keyboard and if there’s corrupt data it will get rid of it.

If none of these solutions work, I would try using a different keyboard app. Android phones allow you to change what keyboard app you use. There are a couple preinstalled on your Samsung Galaxy S3. From the home screen hit the menu button, select settings, and then find ?Language and input’. You can change what keyboards are enabled and select a default from this menu.

You can download alternate keyboards. A couple popular keyboard apps are the SwiftKey and the Google Keyboard. I highly recommend the SwiftKey app. It costs about two bucks but its amazing. I highly recommend it.

There is also Swype, but for some reason you have to sideload that app, typically by downloading it to a laptop, connecting your phone, and installing. But I find that SwiftKey does everything Swype does and more.

RAY: So, to sum up – reboot the phone. If that doesn’t work, clear the cache for your keyboard app under the Application Manager. If you are still having problems, try a different keyboard.

TOM: Those are my suggestions. I’ll be honest, Maliery’s problem is kind of a weird one. If none of those work it might be an issue with the phone itself. You may need to be prepared to take it back to the store. But before you get to the nuclear options, you should definitely try these ideas.

So, we’ve been seeing this alot on Facebook and we had to investigate it.

DEBUNKABLE

http://kyeos.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/warning-if-you-take-photos-with-your-cell-phone/

?Warning? If you, your kids or grand kids take pics from your phone?WATCH THIS!

This is truly alarming ? please take the time to watch. At the end they’ll tell you how to set your phone so you don’t run this risk!

PLEASE PASS THIS INFO TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO TAKES PICTURES WITH THEIR CELL OR SMART PHONE AND POSTS THEM ONLINE.

I want everyone of you to watch this and then be sure to share with all your family and friends.

It’s REALLY important info, about what your posting things on your cell phones can do TO YOU!!!

Too much technology out there these days so beware???..

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO WATCH THIS VIDEO, AND TAKE THE RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS.

If you have children or grandchildren you NEED to watch this. I had no idea this could happen from taking pictures on the blackberry or cell phone. It’s scary.”

Any time something is that important that we HAVE to watch it now, well we have to watch it now. Here’s a clip from the video:

Play Audio from Video

…home, work, or even school of the person in the pic.

OK, let’s pause it right there. First of all, this isn’t new technology. This has been around for quite a few years. At least as far back as when the first iPhone came out. The video itself is from 2010. Second of all, no, they cannot find the home, work or even school of the person in the pic.

Classic news fear mongering Legitimate concern, blown way out of proportion

If you have geo-tagging turned on the location where you took the picture is stored in the picture. Geo-tagging is not the scariest thing in the world, Geo-tagging can be great. Have you ever pulled out a picture from a shoe box and wondered, now where was that taken? With geo-tagging, you don’t have to wonder. It tells you where it was taken. So, with some apps, you can use your photos like a map on a road trip.

So, yes, if you take pictures in your bedroom, park, school, work, then yes, someone who knows how to take GPS coordinates and convert them into locations on a map will be able to figure out where that picture was taken. Not many people know how to do that. Fortunately, most stalkers and creeps don’t know how to do that.

But, then the good folks at 41 Action News make sure that the creeps know how to do it

2:00

icanstalku.com is a great site with good information on how to disable geo-tagging services on your smart phone.

If you do want to disable location services on your photos, here’s how you do it on your iPhone. and on your Android…

Android

All you need to do is fire up your camera app, and then go to settings. Depending on what phone you have, you may need to tap a gear icon, slide the settings out from the edge of your phone, or hit the settings button on your phone. Regardless, you should see an ?Store GPS’ or ?Store location’ setting. Turn it off.

The reality is, it’s a lot easier for a kidnapper, or worse, to just grab a kid. I haven’t heard of any cases where this has been done. Usually, the attacker is known to the child or it’s just a random act. So, while it’s smart to be aware of what information you are inadvertently posting about your child that could possibly be used to harm him or her, it isn’t something that should invoke terror in your heart. This isn’t really that dangerous.

My son recently gave his mother an iPad 4 as a birthday gift he bought earlier this year because he wanted an iPad mini instead

What’s the best way to delete all his data and accounts on the iPad 4 without him losing all his saved email, contacts, iTunes, Apps etc.? Both Ipads are still registered under his accounts.

Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings

 Make sure to backup and sync the iPad 4 before you do that because if you forgot to get anything off of it, you’re not getting it after you do that!

We’ve got a voicemail from a listener. Let’s play that.
[Play voicemail]
TOM: Okay, Ray, two phone lines on one iPhone. Can she do it?
RAY: No. At least, not without major modifications to her phone at a hardware level. She would need a second sim card in her phone, and the iPhone 4 doesn’t support dual sim cards.
TOM: You might possibly be able to find some overseas company that does modifications like that…
RAY: But that’s probably not a good idea. I just think this is the wrong way to approach her problem.
TOM: I agree. Basically she wants to have a way to filter out certain phone calls. The most obvious solution I can think of is: buy a second phone. It doesn’t have to be an iPhone. Just go out and get yourself a $20 pre-paid feature phone. You can give people that number and just check it every so often.
RAY: Yeah, that was my thought too.
TOM: Alternatively, there she could block the calls.
RAY: Yep. unfortunately there’s no built in way to block a call. You can do it through your carrier or you can jailbreak it to automatically ignore calls from certain callers.
There is a way to have two phone numbers that go to one phone though through Google Voice.

RAY: All right, well before we jump into your questions, we have a guest on the phone.

We have Adam Daveline on the phone from New York City. Adam is the founder of DiscoveringShakespeare.com, an exciting Kickstarter project that is currently underway right now. Thanks for coming on the show Adam!

So, what are you doing up in New York?

Explain to us what Discovering Shakespeare is.

What gave you the inspiration for Discovering Shakespeare?

Are you doing this all by yourself or do you have a team working with you?

How will you build the site? Are you planning on using an open source platform like WordPress or are you building the site from the ground up?

How will you fund DS to keep it running?

What are some technical challenges you’ve faced in creating DS?

You are trying to raise $18,031. When I first saw that amount I was racking my brain trying to figure out the significance. I thought there was some reference I was forgetting. But you’ve got it figured out exactly what you need to make DS get off the ground. Give us a quick explanation, what is the money going to pay for?

How can people get involved?

Ric writes, I need a simple phone for use in Costa Rica. I know very little about cell phones. The NY Times recommended the Nokia 2700 unlocked GSM quad band world phone, which I found at Myworldphone.com for $79. What else do I need and how can I make sure this phone will work before my trip?

$79 is not bad, but I would wait until you get to Costa Rica and buy a phone there. Generally, you can get a feature phone much cheaper in countries outside of the US than you can in the US.

If you’ve already bought the Nokia 2700, you are good it will work in Costa Rica.

You definitely want to buy a SIM card in Costa Rica though. International roaming is much more expensive than buying a prepaid plan once you get there.

Now, whatever you do, don’t buy a phone at the airport. That is the place where they will be the most expensive. If you’re planning on staying for a while, what I would do is once you hit the ground, find the closest reputable hostel. They’ll be able to direct you to tell you the best place to go. If you’re staying at a hotel, the concierge will do the same.

Maliery asks Would you advise friends to avoid purchasing laptops from the Purchasing Power website?

So, Purchasing Power is a site where you can buy things through payroll deduction. Instead of having to go down to the store to make your payment, your payment comes right out of your paycheck before you even see it. In order to buy from Purchasing Power, your company has to participate and offer the benefit.

From what I could tell, Purchasing Power seems to have brand name laptops. I would assume, if they’re anything like most home shopping network channels and rent to own places, they are probably low powered machines, that are overpriced. Now, I am only guessing because I wasn’t able to see the actual products without registering, and I didn’t want to register. But, that’s most likely what you’ll find there. When a company doesn’t get all of the money from a purchase up front, they have to make up the difference somewhere. If you buy it on credit, you pay the difference in interest. When you buy things on rent to own, they usually overcharge you. With computers, the way they stay competitive with the rest of the retail industry is that they will have the same computer at the same price as Best Buy, TigerDirect, etc, but they will have the model with the lower specs. It’s like two car dealers selling two Ford Mustangs for the same price, but one has an supercharged V8 and the other has a 4 cylinder.

I am not an advocate of going into debt for electronics. I’m not a devout Dave Ramsey follower, but I do believe that most things are not worth going into debt for, and gadgets are definitely not worth it.

Now, this isn’t exactly “debt” it’s more like a rent to own program. It is definitely less risky for the company than offering credit cards because it’s not like you can miss a payment, as long as you are working.

However, I don’t know what happens if you lose your job. Do you have to return the computer? Do you have to pay the balance in full? I couldn’t find that information. And that worries me. If they can’t share that on the website in plain view, it’s probably not in your best interest.

So, in answer to your question Maliery, I wouldn’t do it.

 Zoe left a voicemail

First thing is you have to make sure that you have your parent’s permission before you call someone.

Second, you need to make sure that you parent’s permission to download apps. If you do, you can download games from the Amazon App Store.

Now, parent’s you’ll really like this. There’s something really awesome on the Kindle Fire called Kindle FreeTime Unlimited. For $4.99 a month or 2.99 if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber, you get access for your child to over a 1,000 app in the Amazon App Store that are age appropriate for your child. The best part is that you can control how long they can use the Kindle for apps, videos, books, games, etc.

So, for instance, Zoe can only play games and videos for a total of two hours a day. But she can read books on her Kindle as long as she wants.

So, to answer your question, Zoe, if you want to have more time to play games on your Kindle, I would suggest that you make sure to be on your best behavior, make sure to get your schoolwork done, and ask mommy very nicely and she might give you a little bit more time to play games.

We also announced an Amazon Gift Card give away! We really need your help growing our show, and what better way to do that than through bribery!

You can like us on Google Plus too, but nobody really cares.

On this week’s episode we have a special guest, back with us in the studio again, Angel Torres, the CEO and founder of The Logica, a web and app development company. You might know him from when he was on the show back in February, or you might know him if you came to One Spark. Thanks for coming on the show, Angel.

So, I want to ask you about what’s been going on with the Aurora App, and any other projects that The Logica is up to that you can talk about, but I’m sure you’ve heard about the changes at One Spark that are coming for One Spark 2014. I want to see what you think about that too. Sound fun?

All right, but first, let’s talk about apps.

That App Segment

IFTTT – If This Then That

LIMBO Game

Aurora App

All right, well let’s answer a couple of listener’s questions.

Amber wrote in and asked, at some point I created a PIN number for my iPhone’s “Restrictions” setting. I can’t remember it now, and I have 9 failed passcode attempts. Will I ever be able to get in and change my restrictions… or will I be stuck with in-app purchases turned off forever? Help! How can I fix this?
Well, hopefully you have synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer at least once before. If you have this going to be a lot easier. All you’ll have to do is open iTunes, and plug your iPhone in, and that will reset the count of how many times you can enter the passcode. So, theoretically you could enter pin numbers until the end of time. Hopefully at some point you’ll be able to figure out what your pin number was.
If you can’t figure out what your pin number was, then that’s a slightly bigger problem. You’re going to have to backup your iPhone, and then restore it from that backup. That will clear the PIN number. But, that will only work, if you have synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer in the past. If you haven’t, you’re going to have to reset your iPhone to factory settings. That is why I said I hope that you have synced it before, because if you haven’t, you’re going to lose all your settings and all your stuff on your iPhone.
So, what I would do is start by plugging in your iPhone and trying those passcodes again, and keep track of which ones you’ve tried, especially if you’re only doing a four digit pin code. I mean there’s only 9,999 options. You’ve got to hit it eventually, right?
We will include a link to instructions how to reset your iPhone to factory settings, and how to restore your iPhone from a previous back up in the show notes for the episode.

iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Lynda asked I keep deleting apps off of my iPod touch, but they keep reinstalling whenever the app gets updated. Why? It’s driving me crazy. I want to be able to delete apps and for them to stay deleted. What’s going on? I am running iOS 6.1.3 on a 4th generation iPod. I am running iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop. iTunes syncs over the WiFi.

I am going to guess that you probably don’t keep your laptop running all the time. Here’s what I think is happening: You are connecting to iTunes, and syncing. Then, later you install an app, and delete it before you sync with your computer again. Now what happens, is the next time you sync your computer with your iPod, iTunes downloads the app, and then it sees that you don’t have the new app on your iPod. So, in trying to be helpful, it reinstalls it on your iPod for you. Now, you’re probably only just noticing it when the App Store has an update for the app.
