[embedded content] Twice a year, around the time of the autumnal and veal equinoxes, is the Solar Dynamics Observatory's eclipse season. From its vantage point in geosynchronous orbit around the Earth, the SDO's view of the sun is blocked once a day by the Earth. And on the rare occasion, both the Earth and the moon pass between the SDO and the sun -- a rare double eclipse. One of these took place on September 1, when first the Earth, then the moon, were captured blocking out the sun as the SDO filmed the whole thing in hi-res. It's not quite as dramatic as a solar eclipse take from the Earth, but it's still interesting if you know what you'r...

If the price tag of a new phone makes you sweat, you're not alone.Since all four major carriers have done away with their device subsidies, US consumers for the first time are seeing how much their fancy phones actually cost. And it's not pretty. While we've all been trained to lust for the latest Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy gadget, which cost a small fortune, the reality is that you can still get a pretty sophisticated, good-quality phone for a fraction of the price. In this edition of Ask Maggie, I spell out options for a frugal shopper. Dear Maggie,My old phone is on the fritz. I need a new one stat, but the prices are horrifying. I've heard old iPhones drop in price right after the ne...

This is part of our Road Trip 2016 summer series "Life, Disrupted," about how technology is helping with the global refugee crisis -- if at all. Most people think of Greece as a great place to escape from the stress of everyday life. But not to the more than 57,000 people now trapped there. In 2015, more than 1.1 million refugees and migrants fled war and chaos in the Middle East and Africa to seek shelter in Europe. More than two-thirds of them came through Greece on their way to places like Germany, Sweden and the UK. That changed in March, when an agreement between the EU and Turkey -- combined with nearby countries' decisions to close their borders to migrants -- transformed Greece f...

Over the last few months I've written about the persistent rumors that Apple will remove the headphone jack on the next iPhone.Every time I write about it, readers' comments have been generally negative, with some folks threatening to boycott the iPhone when Apple drops the headphone jack.Well, from all indications, including published reports citing "people familiar with the matter" and some early iPhone 7 cases I've received, it's the end of the road for the iPhone's headphone hack. But don't panic, folks. After being on the fence about the issue these last few months, I've come to the conclusion I can live without the headphone jack. And I think you can, too.Here are the reasons why: ...

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.Bad day in the bathroom. Getty Images It could happen to any of us. Our phones are so precious that if we dropped one down a public toilet, we'd climb in to get it back. Wouldn't we? What did you say? You'd call a Task Rabbit?

Less than two months before succumbing to cancer, ailing Apple co-founder Steve Jobs resigned from the office of CEO on August 24, 2011. Tim Cook (left), who had been the company's Chief Operating Officer since 2004, took over the top spot at the world's preeminent technology company. In the five years since his ascension to the CEO position, Cook has made a unique imprint on Apple, becoming a more vocal social activist than his legendary predecessor, and even directly taking on the US govement in a high-profile fight for digital privacy. In terms of Apple's products, however, Cook has largely taken a conservative approach, shepherding evolutionary changes to the existing product line (iPho...

Iis and Gu "From man's sweat and God's love, beer came into the world."Saint Aold of Metz said that, back in the sixth or seventh century, just before doing a knee-slide across the dance floor and falling asleep in a hedge. Beer hasn't changed much since old St Aie's time, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't appreciate new and interesting ways of enjoying libations of any stripe -- and since he once used booze to stop a plague he clearly had his head on straight.For a new way to enjoy the age-old pastime that is boozing, Scottish craft-beer brewer Iis and Gu and rumruer Havana Club ha...

Well, it's late on a Friday, and Facebook has quietly released a new app, called Lifestage. And while its name might suggest the target market is caterpillars, this is actually for teens -- aka not me. Like other apps not built for me, it's somewhat confusing. But the gist of it is that you (the younger version of you, who was able to eat french fries dipped in milkshakes any time you damn well pleased) create a profile using you...

NASA hopes to launch a spacecraft next month that will essentially chest-bump an asteroid and swipe a sample of space rock to bring back to Earth for study in the process. The Osiris-Rex spacecraft is about the size of a small bus when its solar arrays are deployed. Right now, the plan is to launch it from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on an Atlas V 411 rocket as soon as September 8 at 7:05 p.m. ET. It's scheduled to reach the potentially hazardous asteroid Beu at some point in 2018. The craft's epic acronym name stands for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security - Regolith Explorer, which explains what NASA hopes it will do. Those goals include retuing and anal...
