2015: An Apple TV odyssey
3
Apple's famous "hobby" of the past eight years might finally be something more than that this year, thanks to a Siri-enabled remote, support for third-party apps, and more. As this moment, it's worth considering how Apple TV got to this point—and where it might go from here.

Technology, meet vacation: The 21st century road trip
5
You know the drill when it comes to a summer road trip: The bags are packed, but before you leave, you’ve got to make sure you haven’t forgotten any essentials. Traditionally, I would be fretting about sunscreen or water or if I brought enough socks, but this is 2015, so instead it’s about Lightning cables and power adapters and mapping apps and hotel Wi-Fi.

WWDC is a huge deal in the Apple community, but it wasn't always so. I've been going to WWDC since the mid-1990s, when it was a sleepy affair that took place at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose. Probably the most memorable moment of any of the...

My (practical) Apple Watch wish-list

Truly, this is an exciting time to follow Apple. With the company set to hold a media event on Monday — six months to the day since Tim Cook first stood on the Flint Center stage and unveiled the Apple Watch — we're about to move out of our current period of vaguely-informed speculamalation and into the era of somewhat more informed speculification. At that point, we'll be perilously...
