One astonishing way to improve your experience with the port-less laptop? Install Windows 10.

FEATURED — The most infuriating thing about the Apple Watch
The Apple Watch won’t be the best-selling device in Apple’s lineup anytime soon, but it’s certainly one of the most important. It’s the first new product Apple has launched since the original iPad back in 2010, and it’s also the company’s first foray into an exciting new market. Two exciting new markets, actually, since the Apple Watch is really the only device to marry wearables and luxury goods.
I have spoken a great deal about the Watch on our podcast and I’ve started writing about it as well, but I’m not running a full review until I’ve spent more time with it. In the meantime, there are certain parts of the Watch experience that I’m highlighting in individual posts.

Earlier this month, I wrote about my extreme frustration with the Android upgrade process. Essentially, I do not understand why it should take more than six months (and counting!) to get the latest Android software out to a flagship phone that’s been released within the past two years. When my two-year carrier contract expires in September, I will be buying a new phone off-contract and the iPhone 6s is going to look very tempting. However, there is something Google can do to pull me back from the brink: Release a 2015 version of the Nexus 5.

New leak claims the iPhone 6s will deliver an upgrade Apple fans have wanted for years
A recent report from an analyst with a good track record at predicting Apple’s next steps revealed some details about the upcoming iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, including camera specs. Constant camera improvements helped Apple turn the iPhone into a very popular device for taking photos and recording video, even thought the iPhone hasn’t upped its megapixel count for the past several years. However, a second report now says Apple might indeed increase the number of megapixels of its main camera, which would be a first since the iPhone 4s launched in 2011.
