Hello everyone, I have great news to share: After three months of fighting, our Chatbox app is finally back on the U.S. App Store! 🎉 What happened? In April 2025, another company with an app of the same name filed a dispute with Apple, claiming they held a trademark for the word “Chatbox.” I believe this claim was baseless, because: "Chatbox" is a widely used, generic word across the internet, and their trademark application had already been initially rejected by the USPTO.

Tucker Carlson asks Sam Altman if an OpenAI employee was murdered ‘on your orders’

Carlson: “…he was definitely murdered, I think… there were signs of a struggle, of course. The surveillance camera, the wires had been cut. He had just ordered take-out food, come back from a vacation with his friends on Catalina Island. No indication at all that he was suicidal. No note and no behavior. He had just spoken to a family member on the phone. And then he’s found dead with blood in multiple rooms. So that’s impossible. Seems really obvious he was murdered. Have you talked to the aut

Apple has been including Portrait Mode on iPhone models with only one back camera since the iPhone XR, but the iPhone Air is the first one to get a fully-featured Portrait Mode. A brief history When Apple introduced the iPhone XR, one of the headlining features was how it could take “dramatic portraits using a single camera lens”. However, these portraits were limited to just people and pets. So, if you wanted to take a portrait photo of something like a flower, you could not. Similarly, the
