Low-price fashion chain Forever 21, a one-time hot destination for teen shoppers that fell victim to its own rapid expansion and changing consumer tastes, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The privately held company based in Los Angeles said Sunday it will close up to 178 stores in the U.S. As of the bankruptcy filing, the company operated about 800 stores globally, including more than 500 stores in the U.S. The company said it would focus on maximizing the value of its U.S. stores and shutter certain international locations. Forever 21 plans to close most of its locations in Asia and Europe but will continue operating in Mexico and Latin America. Their popularity grew during the Great Recession, when shoppers sought fashion bargains. But over the last year or so, fast fashion has fallen out of style. Young customers are losing interest in throw-away clothes and are more interested in buying eco-friendly products. They're also gravitating toward rental and...

After more than three years on the run, a wanted Wisconsin man is now behind bars. He avoided being captured by hiding out in a homemade bunker in Marathon County. Jeremiah Button faced numerous charges for sex crimes in Portage County and had been on the run after he didn’t show up at court in 2016. Investigators say Button went to a wooded area along the Ice Age Trail in Marathon County, where he set up a bunker. They say he made his own electricity using a bicycle as a generator, had a makeshift stove and went to the local landfill to get supplies. Last week, a hunter found the bunker and called police. Investigators say Button came out about 20 minutes after police arrived. They say he seemed to be relieved, because it was his first human contact in three years.

80-year-old Eugene Bostick lives on a 3-acre land in East Fort Worth, Texas, with his family. His home is located on a dead-end street with a horse barn and according to Bostick, ever since they lived there, people have dumped dogs in their land and have left strays there to starve or die. They took countless animals and several stray dogs under their care, and after his retirement, Bostick and his family spent their time looking after the animals in their land. Everyday, they feed the animals, take care of them and take them to vet trips. Bostick also built a dog train to bring his pet friends out on adventures, and if that’s not the best retirement job in the world, then I don’t what else is. Bostick is a lively and energetic man even in his 80s, but with so many dogs to take care of, he needed some sort of vehicle carry them on to go on trips. He came up with the idea of the train after seeing a guy driving a tractor with carts filled with rocks attached to the it. The ...

Japan has always been a great country when it comes to technology and leading in many industries across the world. A small country that is largely based on traditions and great respect, one of their major airlines continues that tradition with a feature that allows passengers to view where children will be sitting on the plane.  Kids can sometimes be a handful and many people can become sensitive the screams and crying that every parent has to endure. This gives passengers the chance to strategically choose their seats before hand, and those who parents with children to group together. It’s a great feature that we think all airlines should adopt! Great going Japan!

A few weeks ago I ditched my MacBook Pro and decided to do my trip around Southeast Asia with just an iPad Pro. It has been a blast aside from a few things that I’ll get into. I’ve upgraded to the latest iPad OS Beta, which has significantly improved the usefulness of the iPad, and so that begs the question — is it a good laptop replacement? The answer: YES. The CONS Right off the bat I’m going to go through what I don’t like about this setup. 1. Viewing angles: With the Apple Keyboard Case, there are only two viewing angles you can prop the iPad Pro on. These two angles work wonderful if you’re sitting on a chair at a desk. The problem starts when I want to relax on a bean bag chair or work on my a bed, you generally need to stare down at the ipad. Unfortunately either two angles allowed isn’t a good good enough and so I have to make some workarounds. (See picture) 2. No eject option for external media I have already corrupted one of my SD cards full of photos becaus...

Both Apple and Disney are set to launch their own streaming services later this year which prompted a look into the CEO of Disney to remain on Apple’s board of directors.

Apple is set to launch their streaming Apple TV+ service on November 1 and Disney a little after on November 12 with their Disney+ Streaming service.

I’ve been using my 2018 iPad Pro 11-inch during my travels around Southeast Asia for a while now and it has changed the way I travel entirely. Previous to my iPad, I was travelling around with my 13-inch MacBook Pro 2017 base model which would handle all my computing needs. However after a couple of months on the road backpacking my way around places to places, I decided one thing. The MacBook is too heavy to lug around in my bag and the computing power is just barley enough it edit the 4K content I shoot for my travel videos. It didn’t fit my needs. So when I was in Malaysia I decided to pick up the latest iPad to take as a test drive and sent the MacBook Pro home.

Consensus points to the following: New green color iPhone Incremental upgrades to Camera and hardware specs Camera will have three lenses, with a wide angle feature Same high price tag To introduce three models that fall in line with the current three models: XR, XS, and XS MAX Next top of the line model to be called iPhone 11 PRO Larger batteries from 2% to 20% depending on the model Will come with new A13 processor, which is an even more beast compared to the current A12 which already has put most other current flagship devices behind in computing power.  Physical design should be the same as the current iPhones IOS 13 which is the new operating system with a few different cosmetic changes, including dark mode Of course this isn’t too much of an overhaul of the iPhone that provides enough novelty that makes it worth an upgra...

Apple releases the iPad OS 13.1 Public Beta before the official release that is expected to release shortly after the launch event for the iPhone 11 on September 10th. IPad OS 13 allows your iPad to be more useful, somewhat mimicking the functions of a laptop. Now you’re able to connect your SD card or external hard drive to manage files via the Files app, and perform split screen to make that task easier if you’re working with more than one media. On top of that the safari browser is now the desktop version, which is way better than the mobile browser version on iPads now. This allows the iPad to be a real laptop replacement in most use cases. How to get the beta iPadOS To get this public release, you must be signed up with Apple as a beta tester. Just hop over to beta.apple.com  and sign up with your Apple ID and follow the steps there. I’ve been using the Beta versions up until now, and I can say without a doubt that this is going to make the iPad the preferred d...
