Here’s a question I’d love to see Apple answer more than why it found the “courage” to remove that damn headphone jack. Why can’t it sell me and others a phone without demanding us to choose a carrier, especially when that’s no longer necessary?

I’m excited to be doing my first charity ride this coming Sunday, which is in support of the American Diabetes Association. The 2016 Ship to Shore Tour is a great route leading from the Queen Mary, over the two bridges of the Port of Long Beach and to San Pedro. It’s an even better cause. Since I announced doing the ride, I’ve heard from people who personally deal with the diseases or who have friends and family who do.

A few weeks ago, I watched the great report Last Week Tonight did about the sorry state of family leave for new parents in the United States. I found myself nodding along, thinking the situation should improve. Soon after, our own small business, Third Door Media, found itself having to…
The attractiveness of USB-C is that any external battery with a standard USB “out” port can be used to power a USB-C laptop of which there are currently two, the new Chromebook Pixel and the new MacBook.
I’ve been testing how this works for the new MacBook. As an aside…
Earlier this month, I spent a great week on vacation in Iceland. Like many tourists, I took pictures. Unlike many tourists, one of my cameras was a drone. Drone photography definitely added a uniqueness to my experience. …
I can’t speak with any authority about why GigaOm suddenly ran out of money. But I’ve already seen the rumblings about what it may mean for other tech and vertical publications. Are they also likely in trouble? I’d submit if they’ve taken lots of VC money, yes. …
