At the beginning of 2022, streaming giant Netflix seemed to be riding high. Over the previous two years, thanks in large part to the pandemic, it had added a remarkable 55 million subscribers, making it by far the most popular streaming service, all while steadily increasing the price those subscribers paid. While its stock price was down slightly from the all-time high it had reached in the fall of 2021, it was still near $600 a share, giving the company a mar
With a refined design announced Tuesday for its Mach 1.7 Overture jet, Boom Supersonic’s dream of reviving exceptionally fast commercial air travel looks a little more real. But this update to Overture, a small airliner in the works
When Apple announced lock screen customization as one of the tentpole features of iOS 16, I wasn’t all that excited—at first.
While I appreciate Apple’s attempts to make the iPhone more flexible and personal, I tend not to linger on my phone’s lock screen for long, and I’m a minimalist when it comes to home screen widgets. It wasn’t clear to me why customizing the lock screen would be worth the trouble.
Then I created an emoji wallpaper
If, like me, you spend an inordinate amount of time watching Netflix, you owe it to yourself to get things set up just how you like them. Here are three great places to start. All it takes is a minute or two.
Disable auto-playing previews
The bane of every Netflix user’s existence, the auto-playing preview feature, can (and should!) be turned off.
To do so, you’ll need to sign into your Netflix account from a web browser, click your profile image in t
Amazon’s Prime Video app is about to look a lot different.
An update this week will overhaul the entire interface on TVs, with a new sidebar for navigation, a grid-based live channel guide, and a bigger emphasis on Amazon’s burgeoning sports catalog. It also more clearly distinguishes core content included with an Amazon Prime subscription from Amazon’s ad-supported offerings, a la carte purchases, and add-ons.
The new Prime Video app may help address some c
Despite all the talk about flexibility as the future of work, more and more prominent business leaders are pushing harder than ever to get their people back into the office. Tech leaders have gone on record saying they still don’t un
For more than a decade now, when companies talked about search-engine optimization (SEO), by default, they were talking about Google. With the rise of digital juggernauts in the e-commerce and social media spaces—including the buy-anything platform Amazon and video-sharing apps like TikTok—online searches for products, entertainment, and information have begun to migrate elsewhere.
At a recent conference in Aspen, Prabhakar Raghavan, senior vice president of Google Knowle
Apple’s new work policy, which mandates that employees be in the office three days per week, stripped their hybrid model of its flexibility. The announcement led to intense pushback from employees, including the departure of one high-level director who
In 2022, Amazon’s Fire 7 feels like a tablet from a bygone era.
7-inch tablets made a lot of sense back when our phones were smaller and less sophisticated. Reading books or playing games wasn’t as much fun on a 4- or 5-inch screen, and Amazon’s smallest Fire tablet was a cheap way to enjoy that same entertainment on a larger surface.

I started writing a novel one evening a week when my oldest child was a baby. I’ve just completed a big rewrite and finally feel ready to take the next steps toward getting my story out into the world.
But I didn’t get here by spending days at a peaceful writing retreat. More often, managing my time around work and three kids takes almost as much creativity as planning the next plot point.
