The $230 MacBook Air Is Real, It’s a Steal, and It’s Flying Off the Shelves

MacBooks are many things — beautifully designed, reliable, sturdy, fast, and powerful among them. Inexpensive, however, is not a word you hear applied to MacBooks often, if ever. Apple is very much a get-what-you-pay-for company, and you pay for quality. Thankfully, there are shortcuts to be found, like the deals StackSocial frequently runs on Grade-A refurbished MacBooks for a fraction of their usual cost.

I'm not going to lie. Bitterly cold temperatures and windchills, not to mention snow and ice, have made it tough to get out for my scheduled runs recently. Don't get me wrong. Winter training in New York City is always hard and this isn't my first rodeo, but I don't remember it being this cold when I trained for the Boston Marathon last winter. Regardless, the TCS London Marathon is about two months away and my training for it is about to kick into high gear. Having friends to run with a coupl

You’re driving along, minding your own business, and—TING! Something smacks your windshield. You didn't see it coming, but the glass is cracked. Where the heck did it come from, and why did it hit your windshield? As I always say, you don’t understand something unless you can model it. So let’s try a little thought experiment.

Apple, Lenovo lead losers in laptop repairability analysis

Apple and Lenovo had the lowest laptop repairability scores in an analysis of recently released devices from consumer advocacy group US Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund. While Apple's low marks are partially due the difficulty involved in disassembling MacBooks, Lenovo appears to be withholding information from shoppers deemed critical to right-to-repair legislation and accessibility. The report, US PIRG's fourth annual “Failing the Fix” [PDF], calculated repairability score

Apple’s latest AirTag feature now supported by the busiest U.S. airline

Starting with iOS 18.2, Apple has enhanced its AirTag item trackers with a special feature that makes locating lost luggage easier than ever.

For that reason, American Airlines’ use of Apple’s Share Item Locat

Scented products cause indoor air pollution on par with car exhaust

Using scented products indoors changes the chemistry of the air, producing as much air pollution as car exhaust does outside, according to a new study. Researchers say that breathing in these nanosized particles could have serious health implications. When you hear or see the words ‘air pollution,’ you most likely think of things like factories and car exhaust. That’s pollution that is out there – outside your house. But have you thought about how you’re contributing to air pollution inside of
