    List of all the Swarm Stickers

    Yup, more social media weird lists. If you’ve ever wondered what you have to do to get that one sticker on Foursq… er, Swarm, here goes: https://krypted.com//utilities/list-of-all-swarm-sticker/. A few things I’ve learned about these things: You get stickers if you check-in through third party apps that have API plug-ins to Swarm (such as Untappd).

    How Bushel Protects Customer Data

    How secure is your data on Bushel? Your data on anything is only ever as secure as your password. At Bushel, we take a lot of precautions to protect your data, including from ourselves.

    Bushel: Notes On Unlocking A Locked Device

    We’ve all been there, or spoken with someone who’s been there: you’re looking at a locked device and someone doesn’t know the PIN to unlock the device. On an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch a Mobile Device Management product such as Bushel can unlock that device by resetting the PIN and allowing you to configure a new PIN. It’s kinda’ awesome when someone forgets a PIN they assigned a device, leaves the company or just plain forgets. But, there are a few things we should probably mention about this feature of Bushel: Read More About Unlocking A Locked Device On The Bushel Blog

    Can Bushel Control The Screen Of My iPad?

    One of the common questions we get on our online support at Bushel is whether or not we can allow you to remotely control the screen of an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The simple answer is no. The next question we usually get is whether we know how that can be done. We do; however, we really don’t like the answer. Can Bushel Control The Screen Of My iPad?
