Read MoreDid you catch the AFC Championship game yesterday? If you did, you may have noticed some poorly timed Microsoft ads, which aired after announcers pointed out that the Patriots were having issues with their Microsoft Surface tablets on the sidelines.

Read MoreIn what has become an annual tradition, the 3n1media team spent the afternoon of December 9th volunteering in the Nashville Salvation Army's Angel Tree warehouse.

Read MoreRecently, we noticed that, for some reason, when an iPhone 6 was plugged into its charger, the Touch ID scanner would not work. So, we did a bit of research, and found out that others reported experiencing the same issue, even with other models, including the iPhone 5s, the first iPhone to feature the scanner.

Read MoreMicrosoft made some exciting announcements this week, showcasing a number of new devices to go along with Windows 10. While all of the devices, ranging from the Lumia 950 Windows 10 smartphone to a developer-ready HoloLens, are intriguing, the two that interest us most are the Surface Book, Microsoft's first bona fide laptop, and the Surface Pro 4, an even more business-ready version of Microsoft's increasingly popular hybrid tablet line.
Read MoreBefore and after its July 29th release, we cautioned business users to wait to upgrade to Windows 10 until the software matured, bugs were addressed, and compatibility issues with third-party apps were solved. Now that two months have passed, that begs the question: are we there yet?
Read MoreWe’d like to introduce Zabra, a new solution that expands the net of protection to your child’s interactions over social media and SMS (texting). Because content filters don’t apply to SMS and have limited reach on sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, these can be avenues for undesirable content and dangerous activity. That’s where our friends at Zabra come in.

Read MoreOn July 29th, Windows users running Windows 7 and up will be able to download Windows 10, which looks to be a significant improvement over Windows 8 and 8.1, for free.
This is great news, so why are we urging business users not to take the upgrade plunge immediately? Here are three reasons why:
Read MoreWe've worked with healthcare professionals long enough to know that closing one's eyes, crossing one's fingers, and hoping for the best is not a viable HIPAA strategy. This is increasingly the case as the public becomes more aware of and concerned about data privacy and as regulators show less and less leniency toward small and mid-sized practices.
Read MoreOn 7/14 from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m., Sean Wright, 3n1's President & CEO, will be giving a workshop titled "Cybersecurity: The Risks and What You Can Do About Them" hosted by the Pathway Women's Business Center.
