The iPhone 6s’s key feature has come under some criticism from some Apple bloggers who dismiss it as just a gimmick that adds no real value to the user. But I believe that 3D Touch, as it is now, is something only Apple has. It’s a feature that has a greater scope for the future of iOS even though for the time being it’s certainly not a must-have feature.

Great big flat-panel televisions are getting ridiculously cheap these days, but you still need to cough up some serious cash if you want a truly high-end TV with a supersized screen. Of course they’re well worth the expense for many people. But just because you’re willing to pay extra money for one of the best TVs money can buy doesn’t mean you should just go out and buy a new set at full price.

Amazon has a sale going right now through Saturday that offers up to $1,000 off retail on three different Samsung TVs. There’s a 75-inch 4K model, an 85-inch 4K model, and a 75-inch 1080p model available. They’re all made by Samsung so they’re obviously all fantastic TVs, and they’re all massive enough to fill out any large space.

I admit it: I put tape over my computer’s webcam. This is a paranoid thing to do. That said, I spend so much time in front of my computer that if a hacker managed to infiltrate my webcam and record everything I do, I’m sure they’d get lots of footage of me doing something embarrassing or disgusting.

As I said earlier, I’m admittedly paranoid. But I’m not alone.

It’s not always easy to appreciate all of the hard work that goes into building mobile applications. This is especially true when they involved synchronizing data to remote servers, and even more true when they involve synchronizing data to remote servers when that data is also being synchronized with other devices. That’s one of the many reasons email is so difficult — beyond developing a novel and useful client, you also have to grapple with complex sync issues in order to put together a good solution.

Airmail for the iPhone is easily the best iOS email client the world has ever seen… but for me, it’s also completely unusable.

Between the Model 3 unveiling, the recent Model X recall and the revamped Model S, it’s been an incredibly busy two weeks for Tesla. And with the Gigafactory still a work in progress and Model 3 reservations through the roof, life at Tesla won’t be slowing down anytime soon.

As expected, Tesla on Tuesday took the wraps off a refreshed version of its Model S electric car. Per Business Insider, it seems that the refreshed Model S is going to get the same air filtration system that’s in the Model X, which could open the door for it to get the “bioweapon defense mode” feature. The car also got a significant facelift up front, as Tesla removed the grill on the front of the car and also tweaked the headline design.
