Freshly Squeezed OpEd: Stop it, Just Stop It

I watch a lot of YouTube. Actually, I watch way too much YouTube. I often use it for research purposes sometimes. Pathetic, eh? I’m sure you’ve seen a plethora of videos regarding “jellygate”. Apple didn’t create the problem, it’s a hardware limitation (though I see...

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: That Seals The Deal

Freshly Squeezed OpEd: I Want This
