Comcast’s most laughable claim about the TWC merger
By now, we’re all familiar with Comcast’s litany of customer service horrors. Whether it’s telling customers that they’re going to be locked in at a low rate for a year before jacking up their prices after just three months, disconnecting customers repeatedly during service calls, allegedly pulling unauthorized credit reports, calling customers obscene names on their own bills or using insane people to mentally bludgeon customers into not cancelling their service, Comcast has basically written the book on finding creative ways to not give you what you want.

HOW-TO GUIDE: I just added wireless charging to my iPhone 6 in 10 seconds, and it cost less than $20

We saw the early stages of the future of wireless charging technology unveiled earlier this year at CES 2015 when a company called Energous showed off tech that can charge gadgets from across the room. And the best part of the company’s solution is that it only requires one tiny chip about the size of a microSD card in the target device, so it’s absolutely feasible for ultra-thin smartphones, tablets, laptops and other devices.
But sadly, we still have quite some time to wait before the wireless future is realized. In the meantime, however, you’ll be surprised at just how easy and inexpensive it is to add modern wireless charging support to an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.

Samsung has since responded twice to the uproar surrounding its privacy policy, explaining that the aforementioned statement is a precaution intended to cover a scenario that is highly unlikely to occur.
All the same, however, it can occur — but there’s an easy way to make sure that it’s impossible for your Samsung smart TV to accidentally spy on you.
