Apple iPad Air M3 (2025) Review

Don’t get your hopes up for Samsung Galaxy camera upgrades any time soon

Samsung has an… interesting approach when it comes to camera hardware on its flagship Galaxy S range.

Can we measure what is in our hearts and minds, and could it help us end wars any sooner? These are the questions that consume entrepreneur Shawn Guttman, a Canadian émigré who recently gave up his yearslong teaching position in Israel to accelerate a path to peace—using an algorithm.
