Yet we increasingly integrate tech in our day-to-day lives, clamoring for the latest iPhone, wearable device, electric vehicle, leering at TikTok, and pouring our minds out on ChatGPT. DON’T MISS: Apple just made an acquisition that will give it a massive foothold in th… Read More “The most invasive tech spying on you is this unexpected (and massive) piece of equipment”

Rewarding because the famously grumpy Morrison was not phoning it in, as he did during much of his decidedly uneven 2019 gig at Chula Vista’s North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre. The famed Irish troubadour was clearly engaged at The Shell… Read More “Review: Was Van Morrison’s San Diego concert a celebration of classics, a classic bait-and-switch, or both?”
