Apple takes seriously the threat of targeted malware that hits its devices and extracts personal data from journalists, human-rights activists, opposition politicians, and others in the cross-hairs of repressive governments, criminal rings, and even spies for hire. Beyond suing companies in 2021 that Apple maintains produce “sophisticated, state-sponsored surveillance technology that allows its highly targeted spyware to surveil its victims,” and underwriting organizations countering cyber surveillance, Apple added a new high-security option to iOS 16 called Lockdown Mode. You’ll also find Lockdown Mode in iPadOS 16.1 when it ships (expected in October 2022) and macOS 13 Ventura (due out later this year). The vast majority of people don’t need to use Lockdown Mode, as it is designed to protect against tailored and targeted attacks that rely on delivering payloads via Messages…

UNLOCK THE POWER OF THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM Perhaps one of the most compelling reasons for switching from Windows to Apple is the company’s first-class operating systems and baked-in ecosystems that translate from one platform to another. Over the years, Apple has worked hard to introduce several powerful features designed to make working across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad as straightforward and convenient as possible. For example, you can use an Apple Pencil to create detailed illustrations on your iPad and insert them into a Keynote presentation on your Mac. Universal Control allows you to use the same mouse for both devices, moving your cursor fluidly between two platforms and dragging and dropping files for those with an iPad and a Mac. Universal Control does everything you wanted and hoped your devices…

It’s firing on all cylinders at Chopard, with new models across its range, from the sporty Mille Miglia, high-complication Alpine Eagle, to new variations for Chopard’s Full Strike collection. Chopard achieved a significant breakthrough when it debuted its first minute repeater, the Full Strike, in 2016. For tonal quality, it featured sapphire gongs and sapphire crystal as a monobloc, the latter functioning as a resonator. This first Full Strike model in rose gold went on to win the Aiguille d’Or award the following year at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Deepening this collection are two new models, the L.U.C Full Strike Sapphire and the L.U.C Full Strike Tourbillon. Going beyond the collection’s signature sapphire gong and crystal as a monobloc sounding unit, the L.U.C Full Strike Sapphire is the…

Amazon announced it has agreed to acquire the vacuum cleaner maker iRobot for approximately $1.7 billion, scooping up another company to add to its collection of smart home appliances amid broader concerns from anti-monopoly and privacy advocates about Amazon’s market power and ability to gain deeper insights into consumers’ lives. iRobot sells its products worldwide and is most famous for the circular-shaped Roomba vacuum, which would join voice assistant Alexa, the Astro robot and Ring security cameras and others in the list of smart home features offered by the Seattle-based e-commerce and tech giant. The move is part of Amazon’s bid to own part of the home space through services and accelerate its growth beyond retail, said Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData Retail. A slew of home-cleaning robots adds to the…

Click and gape at the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel ceiling up close. Click again and join thousands of pilgrims praying and circling around the cube-shaped Kaaba at Islam’s most sacred site. Or strap on a headset and enter the holy city of Jerusalem. There you’ll hear the murmur of Jewish prayers at the Western Wall or thousands of worshippers saying amen in unison at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. You can even light a virtual candle at the site where Christians believe Jesus rose from the grave. All without ever leaving home. Worshippers, tourists and visitors from around the world are increasingly joining virtual reality religious activities and pilgrimages to some of Earth’s most sacred sites. Such experiences are among the many evolving spaces in the metaverse, an immersive virtual world where people can connect via…

As a Mac enthusiast, the news that 2022 will end with no new Mac announcements was disappointing. But what was even more of a letdown is that we’ll have to continue waiting—probably until March 2023—to see the rumored update to Apple’s most affordable Mac, the Mac mini. But even before the news, I was ready for more frustration. This unofficial delay only cements the sad fact that the Mac mini gets no respect from Apple. It’s a shame because Apple’s smallest computer was once its most exciting Mac—and it doesn’t deserve to be so neglected. THE BYODKM MAC The Mac mini was born in 2005 and at the time, Apple was much more aggressive about increasing its share of the PC market. The Mac mini was marketed as an affordable Mac for users…

Apple’s most recent financial quarter has come and gone, and the company posted (yet again) record revenues, pulling in a zillion dollars and ending its latest fiscal year with just shy of $100 billion in profit alone. Let that sink in. A hundred billion dollars is such a large number as to be utterly incomprehensible to most of us who will never approach anywhere near even a single billion in our lifetime. It’s bigger than the gross domestic product of some countries—and not just a few, but more than half of the countries in the world. Most of them. And again, that’s profit, not revenue, which was a soaring $316 billion, putting it in around the top 40 countries. On the one hand, good for Apple. There was a time in living…

I’d sunk into the couch for a “wine” down with my girlfriends. We’d saw a rainbow Willy Wonka–esque shroom chocolate bar on my friend’s coffee table. Under nutritional info, the label said, in part, “INGREDIENTS: GOOD TIMES & LAUGHTER.” Amused by the packaging, I snapped a pic and shared it to my Instagram Stories. Within minutes, my DMs lit up with hearts and messages. “Ze best! I’ve been microdosing mushroom gummies for the last year. Life-changing,” one message read. “When I go out, I take them over drinking. I have more fun, I’m giggly…[there’s] no hangover. I wake up feeling happier and more energized—never anxious or depressed. I’ve gotten probably 15 of my friends on it and they all agree, it’s an easy way to cut down or cut out drinking…
