iPhone 4S Review
Unlike other iPhone upgrades, the upgrade to the iPhone 4S hasn't radically changed the world of smartphones. Neither did it look anything like the teardrop-shaped iPhone 5 rumors that we heard about. Yet, nevertheless, I'd still consider the iPhone 4S a substantial upgrade from the iPhone 4, with Siri, much better performance, longer battery life, and a much better camera.
Apple has succeeded in what their goal likely was with the 4S, bringing the specs of the iPhone up to that of many Android phones so that consumers have almost no reason to get an Android phone (unless they prefer the operating system or want more screen real estate), because the design of the iPhone is much nicer than what its competitors offer.

Kindle Fire Review
There are many tablets out there on the market that are geared towards many types of people. You'll find tablets for movie-lovers, gamers, businessmen, travelers, budget-minded people, and many more. Yet, while you can easily download iBooks or a Kindle app on any of these tablets, there seems to be only one truly geared for readers. That tablet is the Kindle Fire.
The Kindle Fire was released last October in a New York City event. It generated great commotion, and is now the most bought product on Amazon. Unlike many other tablets, its design is more minimalistic, which Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said they did to let you "lose yourself in the content you love" as its border seems to disappear. What really caused commotion was its price tag: just $199. Usually, low price tags make us wonder if its performance will be good enough, as that's usually how companies cut down on price. Yet, somehow, the Kindle Fire has still been able to compete with other tablets despite this. Jump past the break to read the full review.

Top 10 Best and Worst Cars for Short or Tall Drivers
It happens to a shocking amount of people: they buy a car to realize, while driving out, that they are too tall and have to hunch over not to hit the roof of the car. Or, they realize that they are too short for the car and can't see through the windshield unless they boost their seat, which in turn makes it hard to grab the gearbox. Well, worry no longer. Using a 6'4" and a 5'1" car tester, Consumer Reports found the top 10 worst and best cars for short or tall drivers. Note that the Honda Accord, the Subaru Forester, the Lexus LS and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class are on both top ten lists, making them excellent for families with a big range of height in their drivers. Also note that the Jeep Liberty, Mitsubishi Lancer Evoloution, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Nissan 370Z, and the Porsche Boxter are on both 10 worst lists, so do not buy those cars unless all of your family's drivers are not particularly tall nor particularly short.
