Former US Ambassador to Morocco Marc Ginsberg has sued Apple, demanding it remove the Telegram app from its App Store. According to the Jan. 17 lawsuit, the messaging app is used to help coordinate violence, extremism, racism and anti-Semitism. “Telegram is being used to intimidate, threaten and coerce members of the public,” says Ginsberg’s complaint. …

Good morning, fellow cheapskates! Ever wonder what goes through my head when I choose deals to share? Here’s the core of it: Is this a genuinely good product at a genuinely good price from a reputable seller? As noted in the little blurb up top, I pick the items that appear on these pages. No one else is involved; it’s …

Apple’s iPhone is already one of the most popular consumer products ever. And normally, it’s a safe bet that when Apple makes big changes to the phone’s design, as it did with the iPhone 12, sales go into overdrive. But this past year has been anything but normal. In February, Apple warned that sales and manufacturing for its products were …

At the onset of the pandemic, neatly organized planners got left behind on office and classroom desks across America. But Gen Z seems to have found an answer to the organizational woes of studying from home in a strange yet aesthetically-pleasing place: A piece of enterprise software called Notion, which offers a digital workplace for taking notes, making to-do lists, …

Aside from a charging cable and some documentation, the new Galaxy S21 series (like the iPhone 12 family) arrive basically all alone in their box. Their wired headphones and wall charger boxmates have disappeared. Both Samsung and Apple cite a reduced impact on the environment as a reason behind their omissions. Who could argue with that? I mean, we could …

Losing an iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac or iPad is stressful. Not only do you have to worry about the cost of replacing the gadget, but there’s tons of personal information that a would-be bad guy could use. Information such as the credit or debit cards you’ve added to Apple Pay.  And while the odds of someone knowing your passcode to …

Years ago, when I first imagined wireless charging, my imagination pictured something a lot more like the Kew Labs UTS-1 than the ugly charging pucks and pads we routinely use these days. Instead of placing your phone on the equivalent of an electronic coaster, the UTS-1 attaches to the underside of your desk, so there’s nothing visible on top. Just …

For the most up-to-date news and information about the coronavirus pandemic, visit the WHO and CDC websites. People have strong feelings about the things they plug into and sync up with their devices. Keyboards. Headphones. USB-C this and that. Even the humble power cord. That’s evident in a little debate between CNET’s Dan Ackerman and Ian Sherr that popped up …

Fantasian, the highly anticipated mobile RPG from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, could be released this year, according to some tweets from Sakaguchi’s studio, Mistwalker, this week. Fantasian was teased back when Apple’s mobile gaming subscription service Apple Arcade was first announced in Sept. 2019.  Sakaguchi tweeted “game under development” on Wednesday with a screengrab of the game. Mistwalker retweeted …

I’ve relied on Apple laptops since 2004, when my older brother convinced me to give them a try. But in 2015, I stopped buying them all together. It’s not because I’m cheap, or that I’d switched away from Apple’s Mac software.
