  • I don't drink, so it feels weird bringing a bottle of wine when someone invites me over for dinner. Any suggestions on what I could bring?

    - Pedro

  • Why not bring a good bottle of olive oil? It's a handsome gift that would cost about the same as a decent bottle of wine, and come to think of it ... it actually makes for a better gift. When people bring a bottle of wine, they usually drink it and it's basically forgotten. But the olive oil will be used for weeks, and every time your host uses it, they'll be reminded of you and your generosity. A few good bottles to consider: Frankies 457 (from your neighborhood restaurant), Santa Chiara or Espuny.

 
 
  • What's the best way to clean an iPhone?

    - Anonymous

  • Cleaning the gunk, grime and smudges that inevitably find their way onto our devices can be tricky. But the key is a light hand and, of course, the right cleaner and cloth. Apple officially warns against using "window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia or abrasives," but they do sell Bausch & Lomb's popular Clens wipes. The 32-percent isopropyl alcohol solution and polishing cloth work wonders on iPhones, iPads and we've even used it on our laptops as well. Plus, they also disinfect.
