How closely do you monitor your children's use of technology?
Janelle Hoffman, a mother of five, presented her 13-year-old son with an iPhone for Christmas, along with a list of rules and regulations for its use. Not the Apple list; the mom's list. Rule No. 1 is, "It's my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am loaning it to you. Aren't I the greatest?" And No. 2 is, "I will always know the password." The contract has 18 points of requirements for usage that range from proper phone etiquette to sage advice for the future, such as No. 12: "Do not send or receive pictures of your private parts or anyone else's private parts.

A local Walmart customer in search of an iPad says she was scammed at the Tucker store.
A reader named Rebecca Bitsko contacted Tucker Patch to relate what happened to her at the local Walmart when she attempted to buy an iPad. I wanted to share my story with you in order to give other consumers a heads up, and to try to get my problem resolved. I bought an iPad from the Tucker Walmart on Saturday during the tax-free holiday. When I opened it at home, the box contained pads of paper - no iPad (see photo). This has happened before (I wasn't aware of it at the time): I immediately returned the box of paper to the store, but Walmart would not, and still will not, "give" me an iPad (that I paid $600 for). They claim the switch did not occur in their store and therefore is not their responsibility. They told me it was my …
