Apple has completely canceled its much-hyped AirPower project. The wireless charging mat would have charged an iPhone, a pair of AirPods and an Apple Watch simultaneously but now it will charge nothing. On Friday, Apple made the embarrassing decision to admit defeat.

By now, we all know what a danger those old, bulky, ridiculously heavy tube televisions pose to young kids. In recent years, most of us have upgraded to sleeker, lighter flat screen models, which might not seem as lethal were they to topple over on a child.

We all have one airport we try to avoid at all costs—mine is LaGuardia. Having lived in New York a decade, I know if I’m flying through LGA, I can count on some kind of travel mishap, whether it be a delay, cancellation, or dry croissant from an Au Bon Pain.

If living in the Pacific Northwest has given me anything, it is an appreciation of the seasons. Though I’ve always claimed to hate the heat and love the cold, living somewhere with a a barely-real winter and only the tiniest bit of snow has taught me that I just don’t like environmental extremes of any kind, and has…

Google announced swipe gesture controls are coming to Gmail iOS starting today, and should be available to all iOS Gmail users soon. Though the update doesn’t add any new commands to Gmail, it makes it much easier to quickly manage your inbox by letting users customize what left or right “swipe” actions do.

If you have a kid, you have a never-ending supply of kid art. There’s a finite amount of wall real estate, so what can you do with all those handprint masterpieces? (Besides toss them into the recycling bin or shove them into a memory box that your child must figure out what to do with when they’re 26 and you’ve…

When you want to make a good impression in a cover letter or written submission, it’s incredibly frustrating to discover later that you left out a word in the very first sentence. Our brains don’t always catch simple mistakes, so it can’t hurt to enlist a little digital help as well.

Movie-theater subscription service Sinemia just announced a new “unlimited” plan for $15/month. You can only see one movie a day, but you can see it at any theater at any time. Update 3/29/19 4:25 p.m.: Sinemia tells Lifehacker there are no blackouts on particular movies—a common problem with competitor MoviePass. On…

Now that it is officially spring, and we are getting full, uninterrupted days of sun, cooking indoors seems less fun than it did during the chillier times. Calm, low-effort meals that require very little cooking are important during the spring and summer, as warmer days and evenings are meant to be spent out-of-doors,…

It’s been a year since Google announced AMP support would be coming to its email apps and web clients, and the rollout has finally started. (A handful of other email providers have joined the cause as well.)

On a good vacation, I always catch myself thinking, “Man, it would be nice to live here.” I might be right, but only accidentally—of course living in a city feels nice when you don’t have to do any work. That feeling makes for a letdown when I get back home, and all my normal responsibilities are waiting for me.…

We’ve been experimenting with resistance bands all month, but to tell you the truth, I haven’t found any new exercises I truly loved. Maybe that’s because most of my bands are the smaller loop type, which are great for a few lower-body exercises and not much else.

Between all that talk of Family Sharing for Apple’s new “Plus” services, and the fact that I finally set up my house’s shared Netflix account on my TV the other day, I think a lot about how to minimize the financial impact of my technological needs. And that always leads to a conversation with my roommates where I…

I like to think of myself as an anti-helicopter parent, but the first time I took my daughter to the neighborhood playground when she was a year and-a-half, it sounded like I was watching a horror film. “Gasp! Don’t step there! Don’t lean on that! Oh, geez! Gasp! Oh, goodness!” She had only toddled up three steps, and…

I do not leave town without Clif bars. I can’t tell you how many times they’ve filled my belly in a pinch: all my sprints past airport restaurants when my connecting flight was late, the un-catered conferences where I had to choose between attending sessions and standing in line at the food court. The time I realized…
