Since its inception, Nintendo has made a concerted effort to maintain a somewhat squeaky clean image. With the occasional Rare exception, a Nintendo console has always been a place where parents didn’t have to give a second thought about what their kids might be playing.

Well, times are changing, and just as society is changing, its views about what media should and should not be consumed so is Nintendo. It has been reported that Nintendo is encouraging developers to make some less family-friendly fare for the Switch. I for one welcome our new M-rated Switch overlords and look forward to what may be coming down the pike when it comes to mature content.

With an eye toward this brave new world, let’s take a look at a few of the least child-friendly games currently available on the Nintendo Switch. Using my own experience, a little help from Common Sense Media and the ESRB I worked up this list of the games that a parent may not want their kids getting their hands on. There is no last…

Apple and (RED), with your support, have contributed over $500 million to the fight against AIDS. And it’s just the beginning.

I love Apple + (RED). I love the look of the products, from the (RED) iPhone 7 Plus to the (RED) Smart Battery Case to Beats to… the list goes on. (And can I tell you how much I’d love (RED) AirPods? But what I love more is that the profits from Apple + (RED) purchases go to help the more than 37 million people who are trying very hard to live with HIV across the globe.

This year, on World AIDS Day, Apple + (RED) is going to hit $30 million raised for the Global Fund. That’s equivalent to 144 million days of ARV. It’ll amount to the equivalent of 475 million days of medication over the last 11 years.

Connecting through our products and services helps make it easy for our customers to join us in the effort to create the first AIDS-free generation. By worki…

Waking up on time and feeling refreshed is a lot easier with science on your side! Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock wakes you up smarter and will help you feel good in the morning!

I probably can speak for a lot of people when I say that hearing your alarm blasting each morning, rudely awakening you from your slumber, is the most annoying part of the day. After all, who wants to get up and deal with reality when you can be comfortable and in dreamland?

I have trouble getting up and out of bed, and I have for years. Now, part of that is my fault — I have a habit of watching trashy TV until the wee hours of the morning — and part of it is science! Many years ago I went searching for a better way to wake myself up and found Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock (referred to as Sleep Cycle from here on out), and I haven’t looked back since.

Apple recently rolled out a security update patch for macOS High Sierra to fix the ’root’ security bug, but the update has borked file sharing for some. Here’s the fix!

The recent ”root” vulnerability in macOS High Sierra made waves recently because of its wide-reaching security issue.

The Pixelmator Team has finally launched the long-awaited advanced version of its image editing app for Mac, and it’s beautiful!

Pixelmator Pro is the newest addition to the Pixelmator Team’s incredible array of photo editing tools for both Mac and iOS. This pro version is built on the foundation of Pixelmator for Mac but has a completely redesigned interface that focuses more on displaying the image than spotlighting the tools. It’s got all the advanced editing tools you’ll ever need to perfect your photos, but removes distraction so you can dedicate your eyes to the details in front of you.

I’ve only spent a little time with Pixelmator Pro, but it has already become my new favorite editing tool for Mac. It’s easy to start using, even for beginning photo editors but is bursting with advanced tools that any professional photographer would need.

The interface is image-first

The biggest difference between Pixelmator and Pixelmator Pro (aside f…

If you’ve got an Amazon Echo and you’ve got an iPhone, you’ve got two devices that can work together to do great things!

There’s more to the Amazon Echo than just listening to audio and asking about the weather. Your Amazon Echo is a voice-activated computer that’s capable of running apps (Amazon calls ’em Skills) that add extra features and functionality, and some of those features pair well with your iPhone. Here’s a look at some of the nifty integrations between the two devices!

1. Find your lost phone

If you’ve ever misplaced your iPhone (P.S., enable Find My iPhone if you haven’t already), you’ll appreciate this Alexa trick.

Where’sMyPhone is an Alexa Skill that you can turn on by saying, ”Alexa, enable Where’sMyPhone.” Once enabled, you’ll give the Skill your phone number and not-so-eagerly await the next time you lose your device! As soon as it goes missing, you can say, ”Alexa, ask Where’sMyPhone to find my phone,” and soon your missing phone will be ringing or buzzing of…
