Tip of the Week.

Did you know that you can try using your headphones as a microphone in a pinch? Yes sir you can!

If the mic on your laptop is broken or if you need to record something desperately on another device but are not tooo concerned about the quality (something to do with a bet we can imagine as a fine example) then you can use your earbud headphones as a make-do microphone. It doesn’t always work, but there’s a high percentage chance that it will.

Because of science, you see.

Plug the headphones in, his record, talk into the earpiece and WHAMMO!  It will probably record (in bad quality.)

Still a good tip.

Tip of the day! Screenshots edition

So this is an oldy but such an important goody!! We’re talking SCREENSHOTS PEOPLE!!

So much of our lives are lived on our computers and devices these days (which we are all for, btw, as long as it’s not on the Kim Kardashian App…) and sometimes it’s just NECESSARY WITH CAPITALIZATION to show someone what’s going on in your deviceland. And maybe it’s just us here at iPhone Antidote, but sometimes it’s stupidly hard to remember how to take a screenshot, so here’s what you do:

For your iPad/iPhone: Press the top right hand power button at the same time as the Home button which is in the middle at the bottom of the phone. BAM MAGIC PHOTO SAVED RIGHT INTO YOUR PHOTOS APP

For your Mac: Press and hold the Command button,  the Shift button and the number three button all at the same time. BAM YOUR WHOLE SCREEN IS FROZEN IN TIME AND ACCESSIBLE ON YOUR DESKTOP AS A FILE

For your PC: If you’re using  Microsoft Windows XP,  click the window you want to capture. Press and hold down the Alt key and  the Print Screen key at the same time. BAM YOU”VE GOT A SCREENSHOT ON YOUR PC BUT WHY ARE YOU USING A PC AGAIN?

For your iWatch: Oh wait, that doesn’t exist yet, our bad. Don’t tell anyone we know stuff from the future k? K.
