1. WATCH INTELLIGENCE SQUARED NET NEUTRALITY DEBATE: TOM WHEELER, MITCHELL BAKER VS. MICHAEL KATZ, NICK GILLESPIE
Check out this Intelligence Squared debate on Net Neutrality. I love the Intelligence Squared show, which I listen to on KQED in the Bay Area. This episode hasn’t aired yet, but the video format is up on YouTube now. It features former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and Mozilla Chairwoman Mitchell Baker arguing for the motion “Preserve Net Neutrality.” Arguing against the motion is Michael Katz, former Chief Economist of the FCC and Nick Gillespie, editor of Reason magazine. Here’s the interesting thing, but warning, because it contains spoilers. Those arguing against the motion—i.e. arguing to end Net Neutrality—won the debate. What that means is they shifted more opinions in the audience, who voted before and after the debate. But, those arguing to preserve Net Neutrality carried majority support before and after the debate. If you’ve been wanting to hear reasoned arguments on this topic, this is something you’ll want to watch or listen to. Mind you, those arg
uing against the motion are just plain wrong, but it’s a great discussion.

2. SAFARI TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW 54 HAS CHANGES TO CLIPBOARD API, BEACON API, MORE

3. WILL AMAZON’S FIRE TV EDITION DO WHAT APPLE COULD NOT?
Amazon is folding its Fire TV into a smart 4K/UHD TV, called the Fire TV Edition. It’s what some have called on Apple to do. Will Amazon’s vision pay off?

4. EUROPEAN FILING SHOWS THE IPHONE SE 2 MIGHT BE COMING AFTER ALL

5. STOLEN IPHONE GUIDE: WHAT YOU CAN DO IF YOUR IPHONE IS STOLEN
If you’re the victim of a stolen iPhone, there are steps you can take after to try to get it back. But there are also preventative steps to take before it happens.

6. WHAT’S THE BEST METHOD TO MANAGE PDFS ON APPLE DEVICES?
Right now, there are several ways to manage PDFs: iBooks, iCloud Drive, and Apple Notes.

7. THIS AR APP GIVES YOU A VIRTUAL PHOTO STUDIO
Heads up iPhoneographers: this virtual photo studio lets you work with models, studio lights, and more. Each model is based on a real person, and you can place them into any scene you want, like a beach, studio, or desert. You can pose the model how you want, then use virtual lights and light modifiers to create your shot. Color corrections can be applied in real time, and you can change the direction of the sun and add weather like snow. The brains behind the app is Superba AR CEO Raffael Dickreuter, who has worked in the visual effects industry in Hollywood with movies like Iron Man and Avengers 2. The app is pricey though, costing US$10. App Store: Photo Studio – AR

8. HYPERGEAR WIRELESS GIFT SET WITH HEADPHONES, EARBUDS, AND BLUETOOTH SPEAKER: $44.99
We hava deal the HyperGear Wireless Gift Set, a collection that includes a pair of over-the-ear headphones, a pair of earbuds, and a Bluetooth speaker. The headphones and earbuds are wireless, too. It’s $44.99 through us.

9. ABOUT OPTIMIZED STORAGE ON YOUR MAC STARTUP DISK
Dr. Mac says your Mac will slow down more and more as your startup disk becomes fuller and fuller, and, if you fill it up completely, your Mac might not boot.

10. DAVE AND JEFF NERD OUT ON WI-FI ROUTERS – TMO DAILY OBSERVATIONS 2018-04-18
Dave Hamilton joins Jeff Gamet to talk about Wi-Fi routers, what to look for when replacing your AirPort Extreme, why you may want a stand-alone router instead of Wi-Fi Mesh, and more.

11. SYNOLOGY RT2600AC AND RT1900AC: YOUR APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME REPLACEMENT
These days, many Apple users are looking to improve and update their home Wi-Fi connections. With Apple seemingly having abandoned any true hardware updates to their AirPort router line, Apple users are looking to third-parties to fill the gap for an AirPort Extreme replacement. To that end, Synology is among the cream of the crop in the standalone router market and provides many features never found in Apple’s offerings. Updated April 18, 2018 with lowered prices on Amazon. The RT2600ac is now available for less than an AirPort Extreme, with a lot more features and range.

12. HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM SHARED PHOTO ALBUMS
Within Photos on the Mac and in the iOS app, there’s a way to unsubscribe to shared albums that you’re a part of. So if you no longer need to see twenty pictures a day of your third cousin’s new dachshund, you can opt out! We’ll tell you how, even though we’re not quite sure why you’d want to see fewer puppy pictures.

13. AJIT PAI ADVISOR ARRESTED ON FRAUD CHARGES
Is it Ajit Pai’s fault she’s an alleged crook? No, but it surely reinforces Bryan Chaffin’s extremely negative perceptions that someone brought on to help his radical deregulatory agenda is being accused of fraud.
