Public libraries are so awesome. (Thanks, Ben Franklin!) They let you borrow not only physical books, but also digital content like e-books, audiobooks and — surprise, surprise! — digital magazines. It’s true: Many libraries have partnered with RBdigital (formerly Zinio for Libraries) to offer electronic ‘zines you can check out and read on a variety of devices. I was already …

Is it really a surprise that after such an unprecedented delay, Apple’s AirPower charging mat has been officially canceled? Oh, no! What now? Um… just keep using all the chargers we’ve been using for the past couple years? See, I was never excited about the AirPower because I didn’t see the need. Qi pads and docks come in all shapes …

I love magazines. Always have. I even started one years ago, a ‘zine dedicated to PalmPilot users. There’s just something about a curated collection of topic-oriented content, carefully written and nicely formatted, that makes my brain light up. Unsurprisingly, I was a fan of the Texture “Netflix for magazines” subscription service. When Apple acquired Texture last year, I was cautiously …
