It's not the end for the landline

Is it worth having one around? Let’s find out in my take on this.


Not just a rumor anymore: Apple is officially cooking up a foldable MacBook for 2027. This analyst says it’ll have a 20.3-inch screen and could change how we use laptops forever. As for pricing, well, it’s Apple, so start saving now.

90% of online content will be AI-generated or manipulated

That’s by 2026. It’s just one reason internet activists are calling for explicit labeling of human-made versus AI-made content online. I’m sensing a lot more six-fingered hands in our future.

Stars-truck: The $100,000 Tesla Cybertruck is the latest accessory for celebs like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Jay Leno. People are already cashing in, flipping their Cybertrucks for double the price. Who’s going to tell them it looks like a 5-year-old’s drawing?

Lock him up: Arvin Joseph Mirasol, a cruise ship worker, was caught recording children in bathrooms and filming guests under their beds. The feds uncovered his disgusting and horrific practice on a USB loaded with tons of videos. Mirasol is facing justice in court on March 18. Hope he likes a broom up his butt.

Mixed signals: The Biden administration is pushing a bill that could kick TikTok out of the U.S. Politics aside, this move doesn’t make sense — President Biden just joined TikTok for his re-election campaign.

QR cronies: Hackers have upped their tactics with QR codes in PDFs that lead to fake sites and steal login details. Double-check those “official” emails and think twice before you send anything to a random online portal.

Step up, Meta: Forty states are telling Meta to get its act together after a 1,000% spike in Facebook and Instagram scam complaints in New York alone. Meta’s response? It’s investing “heavily” in tech and staff to combat account hacking. Guess cutting all those security jobs in 2022 wasn’t such a good idea, huh?

Just plane dumb: The TSA is rolling out self-checkout lanes. Just scan, step through and hope a hairclip doesn’t send you back. This concept has already cost grocery stores millions in theft. I doubt this one will get off the ground.

9,000 steps per day keeps heart disease at bay

Get in about 9,000 steps and you lower your risk of cardiovascular disease by 21% and risk of death by 39%. If a pill had these stats, it’d be a miracle drug!

Did they think we wouldn’t notice? Someone manning the Samsung Brazil X account posted a Rihanna concert clip to show off the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s zoom and low-light skills. Smart marketing! Wait, nope … The video was filmed on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Apple couldn’t have planned a better iPhone ad.
