Star Trek is no stranger to cinema, and the franchise’s quality of films tends to fluctuate with each new release.

Everyone’s got their own favorites, but if there’s one thing that can be… Read more...

Apple Watch•
You wear your Apple Watch every day to work, play, and exercise, so why does it still shine with the original factory display?

Many honeymooners head to the dreamy oasis of Bora Bora, rent a luxurious over-the-water bungalow in the Maldives or maybe even head to a five-star resort in Maui where they whale-watch and munch on fresh pineapple and macadamia nuts.

There’s never a good time to let your Global Entry membership lapse. It would end your access to expedited border processing when arriving from an international flight. You’d also lose access to the TSA PreCheck line at airport security checkpoints. To accidentally let your membership lapse right now is of even greater concern due to a backlog of applications and increased demand, which has led t



It seems to me that it is one thing to save a seat or even a row, and other thing entirely to save multiple rows. Still it is not against Southwest’s rules. I’m not sure how a passenger trying to save a row behind them would block a passenger from sitting there, but social custom seems to make it a plausible strategy. Is saving multiple rows of seats going overboard? Would you honor someone’s cla

When Star Alliance was officially launched in May 1997 the internet was in its infancy, Ryanair was little more than a small Irish regional airline and the Gulf hardly registered in global air traffic charts. This gives you an idea of how much things have changed in the aviation industry in a quarter of a century. And yet, if there’s one thing that has shown remarkable stability it is Star Allian

From the company that brought you Taser stun guns, comes an AI weapon so dangerous it was rejected by the company's own Artificial Intelligence ethics advisory board. But that didn't stop the CEO from announcing the weapon as a response to the May 24 Uvalde, Texas elementary school shooting , like some misguided white horse hoping to tase our nation to safety.

The German word “heimat” popped into my head as soon as I started writing this story. It’s difficult to translate it directly into English, but it’s essentially the feeling you get when you are home and comfortable. You feel warm and fuzzy inside, and the sensation usually resides in your stomach. As someone who received a college degree in German, that’s how I interpret the word; it’s truly my f

Veteran cruisers know that fall is a great time to snag a deal on a cruise to the Caribbean or the Bahamas.

The final color will look more “champagne-like” than the current gold offered by Apple, according
