You’ve only got a couple of months to get your data off of Google+. Shouldn’t take more than a few minutes though.

I showed this video to my Australian wife when it first made the rounds and she said, “So, how long did it take to kill them?” Don’t mess with the wildlife in Australia.

Obviously, this is a bit of self-serving from the folks at Intego but it does serve as a reminder – don’t install any aspect of Adobe’s Flash software.

Surprising no one, Google may be as guilty as Facebook. Will Apple punish Google as it did Facebook?

Sending out warm thoughts to all of our readers suffering through the “polar vortex”. Or, as we in Canada call it, “a Wednesday in January”.

This is undoubtedly throwing a pall over all of the Chinese nationals working for the company.

This is amazing and hurts my brain.

Facebook has no one to blame but itself. Time will tell how long they’ll be in Apple’s doghouse. This doesn’t affect the Facebook app many of us have on our iOS devices.

I don’t think I want one of these but the reviews are hilarious.

Awestruck. Makes me want to throw away my camera.

The footage in this trailer is incredible. The story says, “It will open in theaters sometime in 2019.” It has to. 2019 is the 50th anniversary of this seminal event. It would be a travesty if this documentary didn’t make it to theaters this year.

At what point will the government step in and do something about the rampant abuses Facebook is consistently subjecting its users to?

I’ve never had a good meal in coach on any of the major (or even minor) North American carriers but I really enjoyed the meals I’ve had on the trips taken on Cathay Pacific. And I’ve enjoyed the few First Class cabin meals I’ve had.

The writing has been on the wall for a long time as smartphones first decimated the point and shoot market and now, according to Canon, may very well drive the company out of the consumer DSLR market as well.

I’ve always hated Apple’s earbuds – they never fit properly for me and were uncomfortable even after short periods of time – but I love how they were/are signifiers of “certain people”.

It’s hard to argue with that original vision, seeing as it has created the single most profitable retail environment in the world.

Interesting to see how these websites have changed over the past ten years and not always for the better.

This is an embarrassing bug but undoubtedly will get fixed very quickly.

I’ve always lusted after an iPad Pro. This video makes me lust after one even more.

I bet it was a lot of fun for the Apple employees to hang out with The Stanley Cup, even if some of them had to have an explanation of what it was.

Apple financial results for Q1 2019 to be announced tomorrow may get very interesting.

I really like Luminar. It can be very easy to use for beginners and is visually more interesting than Lightroom. Whether it’s more suitable for “average consumers” than pros is something that can be argued. Let’s just say, it’s not going to replace Lightroom for me.

It’s ridiculous how many different streaming services there are. This article will just increase the insanity. There are several services here I’ve never even heard of.

“Conventional wisdom” says labour costs are the primary reason why more manufacturing isn’t done in the US. But the issues preventing it are wide and varied as this article shows.

You young whippersnappers will now have to watch as us old farts exclaim, “I loved RAM Doubler!” It was freaking magic.

I gotta say, I was enthralled by this. It’s been playing out, one tweet at a time, on Twitter over the past 24+ hours. Great story. I hope there’s a sequel.

I played and loved high school football. I am so grateful my 13-year old isn’t interested in sports in general, let alone football. I honestly don’t know if I’d let him play the game.

This is a good, fair ruling that helps a grieving family recover precious memories. It’s also a good reminder to include this kind of stuff in a “digital will” or, at least, be sure others have access to this kind of personal information.

Personally, I have no problem calling Google Glass a complete flop. Maybe it was ahead of its time but the time it was ahead of is one I’m not going to be happy about when it does, inevitably, come.

This is great news for information junkies like myself.
