We survived Y2K back in 2000, and now, 12 years later, our existence faces another doomsday catastrophe -- the end of the Mayan Calendar! According to some superstitious believers, tomorrow, December 21st, marks the end of the world as  predicted by the Mayans over 5,000 years ago. Despite lack of evidence for this prophecy, and as disproved this week by NASA, scenarios suggested for the end of the world include the arrival of the next solar maximum, an interaction between Earth and the black hole at the center of the galaxy, the alignment of the planets and Earth's collision with a planet called "Nibiru".

2012 has been a rather important year for social media and the mobile industry. Not only have some of this year's milestone events like the Summer Olympics and the Presidential Election broken social networking records, but we have also seen a growing acceptance of social media by both businesses and individuals. Plus, as we have become more reliant on smartphones, mobile technologies have continued to evolve, reinventing the way we use portable tech -- the release of the iPhone 5 and cheap mobile calls via the Voxox Call iPhone app, to name a few!

Thanksgiving, one of the most delicious holidays known to man (or at least we think so!), is right around the corner and you know what that means... turkey, pie, potatoes and of course, leftovers! Although here at Voxox we love anything to do with eating, we also know Thanksgiving is about more than just the treats -- it's about celebrating all that we're thankful for!

It's nearly 7pm and you've got to head out the door to catch the last commuter train home, but you're still on an important business call. Talk about bad timing because you definitely can't afford to drop this call. Now with less than 10 minutes before the train is scheduled to reel off towards uptown, you're about to panic -- not another night on the employee lounge couch! At a time like this, wouldn't it be nice if you could transfer the call to your cell so you could head out the door and keep business flowing? With Voxox's on-demand Call Transfer feature you can do just that.

What did we do with "dumb" cellular phones before the introduction of our beloved smartphones and apps? We talked, texted and played Snake, that's what. But with all the fancy phones, tablets and millions of addicting and useful apps on the market today, could you blame us for being a little app crazy? While some more app-dependant techies have hundreds of apps ranging from games to fitness apps to simple notebooks, the  average smartphone user has 65 apps installed on their phones, but only uses 15 of them per week -- we hope Voxox Call for iPhone is one of them!

Halloween is all about the haunted houses, scary movies, pumpkin carving, that love-hate relationship we have with candy corn and of course, the costumes! Year after year we see an overload of trendy costumes lining the store shelves (last year's Black Swan and Twilight characters, anyone?), but this season we think it's going to be all about the gadgets!

Social media is an integral part of our daily lives  and chances are the connection doesn't stop when you walk into the office. Although some workplaces are lax on their usage rules, others ban networking sites altogether -- placing a greater taboo on being caught chatting, Liking and poking while you should be putting in hours.
