comment Am I allowed to wear a towel as a belt/scarf outside an Eiruv on Shabbos?
@avi, If both ends (= all 4 corners) of the towel are hanging in front of you (as apposed to draping one end behind your back) then I doesn't need tzitzis. (just like a collared shirt!)

comment Davening from an electronic device?
Well, I have seen people daven with iphone/samsung and it seemed like a lot of effort went into scrolling every 2 seconds or so (diverting concentration from davening to device usage)... also what do you gain by using an electronic device over a siddur ? Also, I think this could cause distraction to others (whether this is justified or not, I still think this has to be taken into account)

comment Davening from an electronic device?
IMHO davening from electronic devices is fine if you're stuck somewhere without a siddur... but if you're davening in shule with siddurim all around - you should be using a siddur like everyone else
