“Fake news” is everywhere, even in “good news” stories.

I certainly wouldn’t cancel Netflix for these alternatives but if you’re bored, there’s lots of options to “channel surf.” It also shows just how many streaming services are out there. I haven’t even heard of some of these.

I tried learning Go back in college but I quickly found out I’m nowhere near smart enough to play it – and I was a pretty decent chess player. But the game fascinates me nonetheless.

Unsurprising but still a little unnerving.

If you use this promotion, it’s basically getting free money. And who can’t use a bit of extra money?

Apple has also donated $15 million and is allowing Apple Card owners to skip their March payments without interest.

Many of these screen savers are spectacularly beautiful.

Not exactly surprising.

I’m not an Oprah fan but every little bit helps.

I’ve noticed this “slow down” (reduced quality) with YouTube videos here in Canada.

More and more organizations are stepping up and helping out like this.

It’s a bit dated but still a great film to watch.

Your move, Adobe.

What a great move by the folks at Audible.

We posted a similar story about Apollo 11’s real-time website. It’s an incredible resource. Take the time to poke around the site and see the wealth of details in it. Amazing work.

I don’t hate Dasani but I no longer drink it or any other bottled water. But it is amusing to see in the stores that, even if all the other bottled waters are gone, there are often cases of Dasani left behind.

I imagine there are a lot of people going through this thought process right now.

If I had any friends, I’d definitely try this Chrome extension.

I just did this and it worked. But you should hurry. These kinds of deals tend not to stick around long.

Like Apple, many of the listed companies are going to continue to pay workers.

Apple’s new Magic Keyboard is not cheap but the mouse and trackpad support looks great.

It’s obviously not the same as being there live but maybe your favourite artist is doing a little something you can watch from home.

This could very well be the most interesting aspect of today’s announcement.

My wife and I were at Costco yesterday and there wasn’t a single sheet of toilet paper or paper towel available. Nor was there any liquid hand soap. I spoke to a Costco employee about the toilet paper situation and he shook his head saying, “We get new supplies every morning and they are sold out by 10am. What I don’t understand is I’ve sold maybe 10 people Vitamin C supplements which you’re more likely to need than extra toilet paper!”

Apple has posted a variety of apps to help you get through this situation from “Keep in Touch With Loved Ones,” to “Learn and Study From Home,” to how to work out and meditate.

If you’re new to working from home, it can be a real challenge. I’ve been doing it for 26+ years and, unless you focus and make a plan, it can be difficult to get much work done.

If things aren’t scary enough for you, you can watch horror movies for free for the next 30 days.
