Why the iPhone 5 on Verizon and Sprint Won't Juggle Calls and Data. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images A lot has changed in Apple’s new iPhone. But with the Verizon Wireless and Sprint versions of the iPhone 5, there’s something that will remain the same from the old model: The phone still won’t be able to place a call and handle data activity over the cellular network at the same time. Older Verizon and Sprint smartphones on 3G networks were not able to handle simultaneous calls and data because of a limitation in CDMA, the 3G technology that those networks use. But now some Verizon 4G LTE smartphones will let you stay on a phone call while looking up something in an app or checking e-mail. Brenda Raney, a Verizon Wireless spokeswoman, said it was Apple’s decision to design the iPhone 5 so that customers could make voice calls and do Internet activity simultaneously only over Wi-Fi, not over Verizon’s cell network.
The explanation for this, it turns out, is complicated. So why does Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy S III, a 4G LTE phone, juggle calls and data? Whew!

But the borough of 35,345 residents on 2.5 square miles is more than that. Fort Lee has the suburban feel of a town with the ethnic diversity of a neighborhood.
According to the 2010 census, 38.4 percent of Fort Lee’s population is Asian. Fort Lee, which is a borough in Bergen County, expects big changes in its downtown business area in the next couple of years. Ms. More Soot Than Sparks From Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD - Review.

European Pressphoto Agency If your family is like ours, you’ll be spending time outdoors this Labor Day weekend. And if you’re a mother like me (read: a worrier), you’re well aware of news reports about the abundance of ticks this year, and about an increase in cases of West Nile virus in some parts of the country. That means we’ll be spraying ourselves and our children with bug repellent, to ward off both ticks and the pesky mosquitoes that carry West Nile. (Generally we avoid slathering our offspring with chemicals. Consumer Reports has updated a test of widely available repellents that work on both deer ticks and mosquitoes that carry West Nile, along with cost information on a per-ounce basis.
Just how much chemical you are comfortable exposing yourself and your children to is up to you. DEET is effective, and the Environmental Protection Agency says it is safe when used as directed, but you shouldn’t use it on babies under 2 months old. Latest Video Playlist - Video Library.
