Earlier this week, movie theater chain AMC dumped coal in my Christmas stocking

Part 1 of three. Google Store’s bureaucratic ineptitude is beyond belief. My
recent, unresolved customer crisis is an experience in artificial
unintelligence. For a parent company whose core competency is supposed to be
indexing, crunching, and disseminating information, it’s inconceivable that
some…

Six days ago, Facebook notified me that my personal information had been
pilfered in a recently revealed hack affecting tens of millions subscribers.
Lovely. Why don’t you kick me in the head, too, Mark Zuckerberg? Perhaps you
would prefer a baseball bat, so you can beat me to death instead? I respo…

innovation left in the smartphone market, CEO Tim Cook delivers the wildly
price-disruptive iPhone XS Max 512GB for heart-stopping $1,449. Smartphones

Doubt disturbed my commitment to give up the Apple Way for the Google lifestyle
two months ago. Preparing to pack up my wife’s 64GB white iPhone X, I was taken
aback by how pretty it was. She kept the thing in a case, which protected from
damage but also obscured beauty. For fleeting seconds, I wond…

A few days ago, BetaNews Managing Editor Wayne Williams emailed asking if I
could contribute content after being silent for ages, especially as the site’s

I consider myself lucky, although some commenters (you know who you are) will
disagree, by successfully ordering from Verizon Wireless the iPhone X for

Steve was right, and I don’t refer to Apple cofounder Jobs, but to an iPhone
buyer I met 10 years ago today. He was among the eclectic group of people
waiting outside Apple Store Montgomery Mall to spend $499 or $599 on the fruit

If you asked why the Moto Z Force Droid Edition appeals to me, I couldn’t
identify one thing, which arguably is odd considering this is a review. Benefits

During the camera film era, Fujifilm battled kingpin Kodak with brighter, more
