iPhone 6 and iWatch debut: Apple back to its Jobs-less style of thinking

Apple product announcements used to command a wide-eyed audience across the spectrum of tech savviness.

What I learned from Boy Abunda’s and Billy Crawford’s personal dramas

Fascinating the way life’s common vicissitudes are somehow magnified and celebrated when celebrities experience them. Whether it be falling into and then rehabilitation from alcohol or substance abuse, getting sick then recovering, suffering a nervous breakdown, or experiencing the heady bliss of romance, showbiz folk make a big drama out of it.
