<p>The <a href="http://www.babyping.com/">BabyPing baby monitor</a> is a great high-quality video and audio monitor. Unfortunately the app you need to use it isn't up to speed.</p>
<p>We put this monitor to the paces for about a week and had repeated connection issue inside the app. The camera monitor itself never lost connection to my home Wi-Fi network, a very reliable network that I've clocked in at 81 mbps. The app was able to receive a signal but only for a few minutes at a time before losing picture and sound.</p>

<p>September is just around the corner, and the tech world is in full preparation mode for the all the rumored fall launches. But that's only the start of this week's big tech news. In case you missed it all, we have the round up of the 10 biggest tech stories from the week.</p>
<p>Not surprising, the big rumors are <a href="/category/apple/?utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_source=rss">Apple</a>-related. We've heard whispers of a <a href="http://mashable.com/2013/07/30/budget-iphone-5c-case-amazon/?utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_source=rss" data-crackerjax="#post-slider">cheaper phone</a> and <a href="http://mashable.com/2013/08/01/ipad-mini-retina/?utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_source=rss" data-crackerjax="#post-slider">retina displays</a>, and the latest is about a <a href="http://mashable.com/2013/08/22/i-dont-care-about-a-gold-iphone/?utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_source=rss" data-crackerjax="#post-slider">gold iPhone</a>. We'll have to wait to see what Apple really has in store, but Sept. 10 isn't that far.</p>
<p>Some <a href="/category/windows/?utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_source=rss">Windows</a> phones have great cameras, like the <a href="http://mashable.com/2013/07/24/nokia-lumia-1020-review/?utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_source=rss" data-crackerjax="#post-slider">Nokia Lumia 1020</a>.

First, you have to decide where exactly you want to disappear &#8212; from social media sites to retailer databases &#8212; and then you have to figure out how you're going to do all that</p>
<p>So attention, web users. This is something you'll want to bookmark.</p>
<p>A new site called <a href="http://JustDelete.me">JustDelete.me</a> makes vanishing from the web much, much easier. Created by U.K.-based developer Robb Lewis, JustDelete.me is a directory of urls that highlights links to pages you may want to remove yourself from, so you don't have to jump through hoops to do so.
