For a guy who once had a reputation for not saying much, Gregg Popovich has become quite loquacious these days. The San Antonio Spurs head coach has lately been very vocal about political matters.
Now he’s given us some interesting things to chew on regarding Magic Johnson, who’s the new President of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Alphabet officially vaulted Apple to become the most valuable company in the U.S. in Tuesday trading , rousting the iPhone maker from the perch it held for more than four years.
Alphabet shares (GOOGL) jumped 6% after Google’s parent reported estimate-topping fourth-quarter results after Monday’s close. Its combined share classes were then worth $554 billion, surpassing Apple (AAPL), which had a value of about $534 billion and whose shares were down slightly after hours.

Let’s face it: The iPad has grown a little stale since it arrive in 2010. Sales have trended downward for Apple’s tweener touch device for some time now. Why? There are many theories, but part of the blame lies in its compromises. The iPad has never been as portable or connected as the iPhone, which is Apple’s most essential device to everyday life, and it’s never really satisfied anyone who wanted to get some work done, either.
Enter the iPad Pro.
Apple is hoping that a mass
In just a few days, Apple will hold its annual iPhone event in San Francisco.
And although we’re not expecting any announcements on the scale of the Apple Watch, don’t get it twisted: This is still Apple’s biggest event of the year.
Starting with the venue, Apple is signaling big announcements from this event. Thanks to the plethora of leaks and well-sourced rumors, Wednesday’s event should help Apple cap off a massive 2015.

Apple Inc. is rumored to have been developing its own electric vehicle (EV), in collaboration with BMW. Apple enthusiastic website, MacRumors cited a “German business magazine,” Manager Magazin, which recently reported the iPhone maker in direct alliance with BMW, to work on “Project Titan.”

The Apple Watch, despite years of hype before it was even announced, appears to be flopping after all.
It wasn't a good sign when Apple announced shortly before the Watch release that they weren't going to be breaking out sales numbers. Now, a new report from third-party analysts Slice Intelligence not only show that Apple Watch sales are down 90% since launch—a big deal, since it implies early adopters aren't regaling more cautious buyers with glowing word-of-mouth—but also tha
Apple's iPhone is the world's most famous smartphone, but there are many reasons Android takes 57 percent of the U.S. market and as much as 80 percent in other countries. Apple provides a completely catered, top-down experience in which it dictates exactly which apps you can run and which features your phone can have. But Android takes off the training wheels and lets consumers have a swath of hardware and software to choose from, along with access to key technologies, such as NFC pairing and h
A full trailer for the upcoming biopic of Steve Jobs, the late founder of Apple, has just been released.

I’ve spent four days with the new Apple Watch, and have finally worked out the learning curve issues.
Am I in love? Not yet. And if I was looking at buying the year’s most-hyped tech device, I’d certainly wait for Apple to iron out the kinks first for versions #2 and #3.

The rumors of Beats Music shutting down have been put to rest, as Apple plans to merge it with iTunes. When Apple acquired the Los Angeles-based Beats for $3 billion, it was believed that the company could use Beats Music as much as the high-end Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. But, now the company’s real intention is comingto light. According to an insider who is close to the company’s plans, Apple will be shutting down the separate Beats Music app and will be merging the digital subscription ser
