It’s official: Samsung will show off its newest flagship on February 20 at an event in San Francisco. The invite doesn’t reveal much other than the number ’10,’ which surprises no-one, but the image does seem to be alluding to the thin bezels we can expect from the new phone.

One year ago today, our daily newsletter, Big Spam, was born. And oh what a year it’s been. Big Spam, if you don’t know, is a sassy love/hate letter to technology that we handwrite daily.

The CAC will begin imposing the rules next month.
