The whole point of cloud-based devices like Chromebooks is to give you a window on to the web that’s as uncluttered and straightforward to use as possible.

I’m going to be first in line to see Fly Me to the Moon when it opens on July 12. Judging from the trailer, the movie tells a lighthearted, but believable tale of how and why NASA might have faked the moon landing. The clip even offers a tongue-in-cheek nod to the conspiracy theorists who […]
