The picture metadata exploit is interesting. It would be trivial to guess the user's home and work location given enough photos with EXIF data (locations and timestamps). I'm curious how this works on iOS. Granting complete access

Would it be that hard to just have both a Touch Bar and a row of keys? At this point the Touch Bar component can’t add that much in terms of manufacturing cost. An entire A10 iPod Touch is only $199.

Not a business center, but if you ever get the chance to go to the The Wieliczka Salt Mine just outside of Krakow, Poland don't miss it — absolutely stunning (and easily accessible by local public transit). Supposedly, it was one of th

I don't think, it's "2 rooms left at the hotel" or even "2 rooms in the hotel left (at this price)". I believe it can be "2 rooms left on [whatever booking site]" — perhaps because there is additional

I almost used Turo once, but the whole thing seemed very ambiguous wrt liability, exact condition of the vehicle, etc. I don't drive normally, so am I even insured? The car owner's insurance likely covers lending the car out, but

My girlfriend took her 12-inch MacBook in for its 2nd(!) keyboard replacement. When she asked about a loaner, the employee actually recommended buying and returning a new one. She got the new retina Air for a nice 5 day test drive — and now

My girlfriend and I travelled through Europe last summer and I was hoping to take overnight trains as much as possible, unfortunately the train strike in France killed a lot of that plan. Still, we were able to take two overnight sleepers.

Has anyone used the Sperti UVB vitamin D lamp? https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box It appears to be the only FDA approved one.

These "light therapy" lamps don't. They just supposedly improve mood from the exposure to bright light itself and don't claim to produce vitamin D.

Or... lack of $10 accessory on the vast majority of smartphones disproves theory that smartphones are too big. Seriously, I would like a larger phone — about the size of a Kindle or an iPad mini (without the bezels / home button). Ri
