The Unbelievable MacBook Neo Sell-Out: My Take as a Long-Time Techie Alright, grab your coffee (or tea, I won’t judge). We need to talk about something genuinely wild that’s happening in the Apple ecosystem right now. You know that new, super-affordable MacBook Neo that dropped a little over a month ago? The one Apple pitched as a sort of… entry-level, get-your-foot-in-the-door machine? Yeah, that one. Well, as of yesterday, Apple’s completely sold out its April inventory.

MagSafe Monday: UGREEN’s Qi2 Foldable Station - My New Desk Buddy? Alright folks, Jithin Joseph here.

But then, a device like the OnePlus Nord 6 lands on my desk, and a little spark of curiosity flickers. This year’s Nord, as I understand it, is essentially a variant of the OnePlus Turbo 6 that hit the Chinese market earlier.

April Fools’ Day 2026: The Best and Cringiest Pranks – A Tech Journalist’s Take Honestly, there are some days on the internet that just… make you want to unplug. And April Fools’ Day, bless its chaotic heart, has become one of them. Back in 2018, Chaim Gartenberg hit the nail on the head, pointing out that brands and a holiday dedicated to hoaxes are a combustible mix. Fast forward to 2026, and with the ubiquity of social media, and especially AI chatbots, companies have a stark choice: participate, or… well, don’t. ...

Alright, settle in, grab your coffee – or maybe something stronger, because this month’s Apple news is a bit of a… well, a clean sweep. I’m Jithin Joseph, and after eight years of diving deep into every shiny new gadget and every subtle shift in the tech landscape, I’ve learned that when Apple starts clearing the shelves, it’s usually worth paying attention. And March? March was a huge clear-out. We’re talking 14 products gone, and a shocking three of them just… vanished. Poof. No direct replacements. ...

Alright, let’s grab that virtual coffee. You know how it is in this tech world – every other week, there’s a new gadget promising the moon. But if there’s one area that’s consistently left me, and let’s be honest, almost everyone else, frustrated, it’s smartwatch battery life. Especially anything running Wear OS. It’s always felt like the Achilles’ heel, forcing us to choose between features and having a watch that actually lasts a full day, let alone two. ...

Hey everyone, Jithin Joseph here! Grab a coffee, pull up a chair, because we need to talk about VSCO. You know, the app that’s been a staple for so many of us trying to get that perfect aesthetic on our photos? Well, they’ve been cooking something up in their AI Lab, and they just dropped five new AI-powered editing tools. That’s a total of eight now.

As someone who’s spent the last eight years knee-deep in emerging technologies, particularly around AI development and machine learning, I’m always curious to see how these powerful tools trickle down into consumer-facing products. It’s a far cry from the complex algorithms I’ve seen in enterprise solutions, but the underlying principles are often the same. ...

MacBook Deals: March 2026 - My Honest Take on the Best Buys Hey everyone, Jithin here. It feels like just yesterday I was wrestling with a chunky old MacBook Pro, shelling out a small fortune for a configuration that now seems laughably underpowered. Fast forward to March 2026, and I’m sitting here with a steaming cup of coffee, looking at a landscape for MacBooks that’s frankly, pretty darn exciting. I’ve been covering emerging tech for over eight years now, and trust me, I’ve seen cycles. I’ve seen prices skyrocket, then plateau, and sometimes, blessedly, dip. The era of Apple Silicon has been a game-changer, not just for performance, but for accessibility. Honestly, the fact that you can snag a MacBook Air with a beefy 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM for $1099 directly from Apple right now is wild. I remember when that kind of spec would have set you back nearly $1600 just a few years back. That’s significant savings, folks. ...
