Happenings in the Apple and tech world that will no doubt impact you!
✋🏻 Talk To The Hand: Been to Whole Foods lately? If so, you've probably seen the "palm scanner" at the self-checkout. if you sign up with Amazon One, you too can pay with your palm, once you set it up! Bonus - using your palm also replaces having to scan your member card.
🌧️ Storm Clouds Ahead: After morphing into X, many users of the platform formerly known as Twitter migrated to BlueSky. I established an account there, and immediately saw that nearly every post was the kind of thing I hide on my Facebook timeline. The fastest exit I ever made since the time I was house shopping years ago, and when I walked in the front door of a decent-looking place, the stank smell of years of a cigarette smoker previously living there hit me in the face, and that was the end of considering that home.
🃏 Know When to Hold 'Em, Know When to Fold 'Em: Every year has had the season of "the foldable iPhone from Apple" chatter. Is 2026 finally going to be the year? T3 weighs in on this pocketful of rumors here.
💸 Nobody is immune to price hikes, including users who sign up for Microsoft Office 365. A recent visit to office.com reveals that the one-user, $69.99/year tier has left the building, leaving the $99.99/year Personal Plan (one user, six installs) and the $129.99/year (for one to six people) as the only options. Looks like anybody renewing will get an unwelcome surprise.
