If Democrats impeach, make their case solemnly, soberly, and honestly, and Trump survives in the Senate, then it’s all on one party, the Republicans. If they do not impeach, history will judge that Trump survived due to the cowardice and corruption of Congress as a whole, Democra … | Continue reading
The Galaxy Fold saga is not a funny story about a $2,000 gadget that didn’t work. It’s a sign of deep disfunction within Samsung, one of the biggest companies in the world. | Continue reading

If Apple’s going to spend billions on exclusive TV and movie content, why not spend money on exclusive games as well? | Continue reading
If you want a device that is bigger than a phone, but smaller and more holdable than a laptop-screen-sized thing for reading and just walking around with, the iPad Mini is it. | Continue reading
The new iPad Air isn’t based on the old iPad Air — it’s an update to the 10.5-inch iPad Pro. And the new Mini is really just a smaller version of the new iPad Air. | Continue reading
