Apple attacks Google and Facebook. They have a point.
It’s often easy to lump in Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon into the same pot. After all, they’re all big tech companies that focus on innovation, bring addictive gadgets, services, or both to consumers, and make tons of money off of our desires for the latest and greatest. They’re all evil to some extent,… Continue reading Apple attacks Google and Facebook. They have a point.

The best smartwatch we’ve seen yet isn’t even a watch at all
It isn’t right to call Bond a watch. It’s really just a bracelet… or a pendant… or a necklace… or something you carry in your pocket. It doesn’t have a touchscreen and it doesn’t even tell the time.
