Apex Legends has a balanced and satisfying spread of weapons, providing more than enough options to keep things fun and varied, but without going overboard and overwhelming us with sheer volume. The gunplay itself is slick, smooth and fast-paced, being more than a little reminiscent of Titanfall’s enjoyable shooting mechanics. But of course, being limited to two selections at a time, you’re inevitably going to have to make some tough calls as you’re ravenously vacuuming loot into your backpack....

With multi-day battery life on the wish-list of many Apple Watch owners, it’s not surprising that Apple is at least considering making a battery band available which could potentially allow the wearable to go many days between charges. This would be of particular value to those who want to use the Watch for sleep-tracking in addition to its usual duties during the day.

The speaker of the day was Patrick Lynch, former Attorney General for the State of Rhode Island and spokesperson for FairSearch.org. On each table was a stack of colorful flyers from FairSearch.org. The flyers had graphs, statistics and quotes, all aimed at exposing Google’s so-called misconduct as the dominant global search engine on the internet....

Four years later we have Mac App Store, Apple’s online bazaar for Mac software, and Lion, the latest Mac operating system with iPad-like gestures, full screen apps and instant-on performance.
