That’s how much the photo-sharing app Lapse just raised. The app adds “developing” time to pics, only letting you see and share them after one to three hours. No edits allowed. Gen Z is feelin’ the old-school delayed gratification. I’ll sell you my old DSLR for less than $30 million!
Feb. 16 started like any typical Friday night. My husband and I decided to stay home, grill chicken and make a salad for dinner. At about 6:45 p.m., we heard some loud rumbling overhead.
We walked onto the back patio and two police helicopters were overhead — shining lights all over our property, and a recording echoed, “Police. You are under arrest. Stay right there and I won’t shoot you.”
Love meets credit: The new dating app SCORE plays Cupid … if Cupid was also into personal finance. If your credit score is 675 or above, you’re in. The Federal Reserve’s findings say those good credit scores tend to stick together. One way to dodge golddiggers, I guess?

✍️ Scribble away: Google Docs for Android now lets you use your fingers or a stylus to draw, highlight and circle directly on documents. But hey, I’m still waiting on that handwriting-to-text feature, Google.
Pay-per-prescription: Hitting up your doctor for a sick note or refill? Prepare to pony up. Once-free admin tasks could soon carry a price tag. Blame pandemic burnout and the telehealth boom for turning your doc’s inbox into a no-freebie zone.
Doritos courtesy of Big Brother: The University of Waterloo ditched its high-tech vending machines after a student caught them using facial-recognition technology. Adaria Vending Services and Invenda Group claimed they were just fancy motion sensors, not spy cams. Uh-huh.
