Why I’m done with Chrome

This is justifiably worrying to security experts. I’ve been a Chrome user in the past but, with today’s release of Mojave, I’m likely going back to Safari.

No sex please, we’re Apple: iPhone giant seeks TV success on its own terms

I don’t think this is as big a problem for Apple as some make it out to be. After all, in theory, your “G” rated audience is going to be much bigger than your “R” rated audience. Apple wants to appeal to the broadest group of consumers it can – whether that be with iPhones or original content.

Souza shows a wide variety of shots that do a great job of showing the range of the iPhone X s.

Shortcuts user guide

The rise and demise of RSS
