Dear Apple, I want ‘Space Black’ on everything, including a 'dark mode' iPhone 16

"Space Black" looks badass — period. When Apple debuted the Space Black MacBook Pro at the "Scary Fast" Apple livestream event in October, I was salivating.

There's something mysterious, smoldering, and seductive about it.

If the Space Black MacBook Pro were personified, I'd imagine it'd be Morpheus from The Matrix or a mature Wednesday Addams. Or better yet, a film noir detective with a confident swagger, dressed in an onyx suit, sitting in a billow of smoke as he puffs his cigar in a...

Who’s afraid of China’s electric vehicles? President Joe Biden.

The president is preparing to announce higher tariffs on imported Chinese EVs, effectively closing out the possibility that the country will be able to afford to import its much cheaper and, in many cases, more desirable plug-in vehicles to the United States.
