Back when they first introduced Pages, around 2008 I think, you had to upload a scan or photo of your driver's license to prove your real identity (I was 19 and naive). Well, a few months later, I go and look at my page which I never r

The 14-screen theatre I used to work at as a projectionist doesn't employ anyone to run the projectors anymore- it's all automated.

This is really frustrating to me. Why are PWAs second class citizens when it comes to getUserMedia? Why is Apple perfectly happy to cripple websites when a user has specifically pinned it to the home screen, but allows full featured access

I know people hate PHP, but I love it. I was able to completely automate my home theatre using it- it uses an Insteon Hub and HTTP commands to drive my dimmers, projector plug, and motorized curtain. I can control the whole room with a webs

I remember back in 2007 there was a control panel for News Feed that looked almost like a mixing board with faders. There were several in a row with different icons above (relationship status, photos, etc) and you'd move each one up or

Does that make it OK? I mean, something as important to the web as getUserMedia is broken on websites only if you pin it to the home screen. Forcing people into Apple's walled garden doesn't seem like an acceptable excuse.

There have been some really horrible bugs at Apple lately. I'm still waiting on them to patch the camera bug in iOS 11 where if you try to use the camera in a web app pinned to the home screen, it shows the camera UI on a black screen.

I think there will be increasing scrutiny over Facebook's ability to wipe their hands while claiming "it's free speech." There's a reason the media were information gatekeepers: there's a responsibility to be a

I've never had a nice experience returning to Canada (either by plane or car) after a trip to the US or Mexico. I get the full "random search" in a secluded room every single time.

This is hardly a scientific review, but I definitely feel like I've started sleeping better since I started using Night Shift on my phone and f.lux on my MacBook. I seem to fall asleep faster and I don't toss or turn as much.

Not huge, but a pretty big mistake would be Target's venture to, and disastrous failure in, Canada. Almost everything that could go wrong did, and the whole story involves a lot of arrogance and inexperience. It will definitely be a bu
