Niantic Labs In the last month, Pokemon Go developer Niantic has been stepping up its baing game, cutting off users who use third-party services to help them become Pokemasters. Bans were given to players using add-on maps that show Pokemon locations, emulators that allow you to play the game on a laptop or PC and bots that play the game for you, tricking the app into believing you are walking around when you are not and automatically catching Pokemon for you.Now, according to a post by Niantic CEO John Hanke, some of those bans are being reversed -- but only for those players using add-on maps."Some players ...

Nobody likes getting socked with a charge for going over a monthly wireless data cap. And thanks to changes made by the nation's two largest carriers, those days may be over forever.Earlier this summer AT&T and Verizon said they'd eliminate charges for customers who bust their data caps, in exchange for slowing service to 2G speeds.

But are the two big carriers really offering a good deal? In this edition of Ask Maggie, I help answer that question. Dear Maggie,I have two teenagers on my Verizon family plan, a...

No, she's not Ariana's mom. She is, however, the leader of the Norwegian Liberal Party and she's just been caught playing Pokemon Go during a parliamentary hearing on Wednesda...
