I just spent $50 at the grocery store on ham, salami, cheese, bread, and pickles. Things have officially gotten out of hand.
As such, it’s more important than ever this holiday season to make sure you’re getting the best deals possible. And instead of inundating you with a laundry list of apps and sites, here’s a short list of truly handy tools that can save you money online and in stores.

Arguably your best bet for online shopping, H
The social publishing and reading app Flipboard is embracing interoperability with the fediverse.
The fediverse, a system of decentralized social networking services that includes Mastodon and video sharing software PeerTube, lets users of independently run social hubs see and interact with each other’s content. A common standardized protocol called ActivityPub lets independently owned servers in the fediverse talk to one another, similar to how industry standards make it pos
Among the things that 2023 will be remembered for is the vast amount of time the tech industry spent fretting about ever-smarter AI someday overpowering the people who created it. But one of the year’s major tech stories was the tale of an uprising that actually happened—and it was all about people, not machines.
In April, Reddit announced that it would begin charging heavy users of its API—the firehose of data from its 100,000 communities (or “subreddits&#x
Google has agreed to pay $700 million and make several other concessions to settle allegations that it had been stifling competition against its Android app store — the same issue that went to trial in another case that could result in even bigger changes.
Although Google struck the deal with state attorneys general in September, the settlement’s terms weren’t revealed until late Monday in documents filed in San Francisco federal court. The disclosure
If two of the latest Apple Watches are on your holiday shopping list, don’t dawdle for much longer because the devices won’t be available to buy in the U.S. later this week if the White House doesn’t intervene in an international patent dispute.
Apple plans to suspend sales of the Series 9 and Ultra 2 versions of its popular watch for online U.S. customers beginning Thursday afternoon and in its stores on Sunday. The move stems from an October decision by the In
Just about a year ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Novo Nordisk’s blockbuster obesity drug, Wegovy, for use in teens ages 12 and up with a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for their age and sex. The decision came a little more than six months after the drug was approved for adults.
You might ask, why the hurry? And, do teenagers really need weight-loss drugs?
According to the CDC, 22% of adolescents aged 12 to 19 years have obesity. Since the 1
Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to more quickly solve problems that are too complex for non-quantum, i.e., classical, computers. This rapidly emerging technology can be applied to a number of fields, including software development, healthcare, medicine, and artificial intelligence.
The worldwide global quantum computing market was estimated to generate $866 million in revenue in 2023 and that figure is expected to swell to $4.375 billion by 2028. This is due, in part, to th
This year has been the perfect storm for everyone in the tech industry. With the economy in a state of flux, inflation, and rising costs impacting business operations and strategies, there’s several headwinds impacting the changing dynamic of the environment right now.
Current economic conditions are challenging companies to alter traditional staffing models, especially in tech where the talent shortage is intensifying. Compounded by financial strains and a shift to
As the war between Israel and Hamas drags on, many on both sides have taken to social media to gather information and air their outrage. The impulse to do so is understandable: Political activism on social media provides people with an emotional outlet and gives them a sense that they can do something. The war is awful, and following it generates a sharp psychological need to get involved and do something.
In the past few years, my colleagues and I at UMass Boston’s Appl
Just four months ago, Cruise had reason to celebrate.
California regulators had approved the self-driving car company’s request to provide around-the-clock fared passenger service in San Francisco, marking a major win for a company that had been operating under strict guidelines. The company had permission up until then to charge for driverless rides covering a small percentage of the city’s streets between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Cruise was partly up against conc
