Apple’s new Retina Display-equipped MacBook Air laptops are outstanding, and they’re a huge leap beyond what the Air was when Apple first released the original model.

The latest-generation Air is even thinner than the original and yet it’s also a powerhouse, with 8th-generation Intel Core processors, Intel UHD graphics, and up to 12 hours of battery life. Want to get in on the action and upgrade? Today is the day to do it because you can save $150 on a 128GB Apple MacBook Air or $200 on a 256GB Apple MacBook Air!

The very first privately funded mission to the Moon is already underway, with the Beresheet spacecraft taking off this past Friday. The mission, which is the first lunar mission for Israel and the only one ever to be backed by private investors, was going along smoothly until a still-unexplained computer glitch threw the spacecraft’s engineers for a loop.

According to SpaceIL, the startup behind the mission, the spacecraft was scheduled to perform a maneuver that would further its path towards the Moon, but something went wrong. Just before it was supposed to make its move, the spacecraft’s computers unexpectedly restarted, cancelling out the commands and keeping the Beresheet lander on its already-established orbit.

Six months ago back in August 2018, Google released Android 9.0 Pie to the public. The latest and greatest version of Google’s mobile platform featured a whole bunch of excellent new features, such as Adaptive Battery tech that stretches out battery life and AI-powered app predictions with actions that are triggered by things you do repeatedly on your phone. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, of course, since Android Pie is packed full of new features as well as enhancements to earlier features. It’s a fantastic upgrade that Android users love… or at least, they might love it when they finally get it. Android 9.0 Pie was installed on less than 0.1% of all Android devices as of the last time Google’s version distribution dashboard was updated in Q4 2018, and that figure is still believed to be in the low single digits now.

Getting new updates pushed out to Android phones is a top priority for Google, and that’s why the company introduced a new feature in Android 8.0 Oreo aimed at simplifying the process. It’s called Project Treble, and it basically separates core Android code from all of the extra custom features added smartphone makers like Samsung and LG. This way when new updates are released by Google, they can be applied to the core Android code and pushed out without having to make any big changes to the vendor enhancements. It’s an awesome feature that will hopefully have an impact down the road, but it’s also not the only way Google improved Android updates in Oreo.

If you’ve got $350 to spend on headphones, we definitely recommend picking up a pair of Sony WH1000XM3s. They’re incredible. Of course, that’s way out of most people’s budgets, but you can still get fantastic sound quality and great battery life without spending hundreds of dollars. Case in point: the best-selling Bluetooth over-ear headphones on Amazon’s entire site are on sale right now for just $25.99! That’s right, hurry up and you can snag the insanely popular Mpow 059 Bluetooth Headphones at an all-time low price. Just clip the $8 coupon on the product page and you’re good to go.

Mpow 059 Bluetooth Headphones Over Ear, Hi-Fi Stereo Wireless Headset, Foldable, Soft Memory-Pr…: $25.99

Here are the bullet points from the product page:

• IMPRESSIVE SOUND QUALITY IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL & PLEASE NOTE: 1. This item is passive noise isolating, NOT active noise cancellation(ANC), it can’t cancel the noise completely but it won’t drain the battery and damage the sound. As an additional factor of sound quality, it is better than ANC. 2. The closed-back design provides immersive Hi-Fi sound with CSR chip and 40mm driver together. If you care more about Noise Cancellation than Sound Quality, you may consider other alternatives.
• BUILT TO STAY COMFORTABLE: The Memory-protein ear cushion simulate human skin texture, ensuring lasting comfort. The stainless steel slider and softly padded headband allows you to find the perfect fit without constraint and provide excellent durability.
• NEVER POWER OFF, BOTH WIRELESS & WIRED: 1. The wireless mode: Battery update to 20-hr music time/ talking time in a single charge, instead of 13-15 hrs from Oct 1, 2017; 2. The Wired mode: you can also use it as a wired headphone with the provided audio cable so the headphones will never power off.
• FOLDABLE DESIGN WITH A PORTABLE BAG & GENTLE REMINDER : The foldable Headband is not only designed for saving your desk space but for carrying in the provided bag. Gentle Reminder: Depending on your head/ear size/shape, it may be a little tight(feels like“on ear”) for someone to wear which is designed to avoid sound leakage. In case of that and to get both audio and wearing comfort, please take off the headphone every 1-2 hrs to get your ears relax and protect them from muggy environment in use.

The team behind caller ID service Hiya has taken advantage of the attention generated by MWC this week to release its Global Robocall Radar Report, putting some hard data to the massive growth in the scourge of unwanted calls, and the results it found are unfortunately as depressing as you’d expect.
