(A screenshot from a United ad.) The promise, so it goes, is that once you buy this thing you’ll feel so uncontrollably good all over. The problem for airlines, especially over the last couple of years, is that every promise they’ve made has been entirely unbelievable. Promises such as the expected arrival time of your flight. Or the expected departure time. Or even the promise that your plane will actually take off....

At that time, Microsoft launched an app called “Get Windows 10” the app was shipped via Windows Update to all systems eligible for the upgrade. The app was meant to begin the upgrade process, but, it automatically downloaded the necessary files in the background and forced users to start the installation. Well, to speed up the process, Microsoft also changed the behavior of the X button in the top right corner from close to OK, which eventually triggers the Windows 10 upgrade process when users actually wanted to cancel it....

When it was revealed that the Motorola X might ship with a “ClearPixel” camera, I did my best to explain the technology, but I included a (HUGE) disclaimer saying that optics weren’t my field of expertise.

The Essential Phone, a brand new smartphone with an edge-to-edge display design from the Essential company, has been a long time coming.

What’s even interesting about this display is that, unlike the company’s previous approaches, where it used a retractable module or a hole-punch cutout to house the front-facing camera, the 2020 model rather relies on an in-display (or under-glass) camera, eliminating the need for the notch, hole-punch, or a retractable hardware....
