A group of four seemingly unarmed bandits made off with more than $27,000 worth of Apple merchandise in just seconds. After obscuring their faces with hooded sweatshirts, the group of four individuals rushed the Apple Store inside Fashion Fair Mall in Fresno, California. The group acted quickly, gathering display devices and severing the tethers that attached them to the tables before exiting the store, and knocking a man trying to block their exit to the ground. All told, the heist lasted less than 60 seconds. Police believe the thieves made off with a total of 26 pricy Apple products, including…

Every once in a while, I find something really weird on YouTube that I want to watch but would rather not have in my history, messing with my recommendations. Thankfully, Google finally has a solution on mobile devices, borrowed from Chrome: Incognito mode. The feature began testing back in May and, as spotted by 9to5Mac, is now rolling out widely to users.  Just tap on your account avatar on the top-right of the screen and select “Turn on incognito.” When the mode is turned on, your avatar will be replaced by the incognito icon and you’ll see a thin black…

I’ve never been water-boarded, thankfully, but I can’t imagine it’s much worse than the sleep deprivation experiments my toddler has conducted on myself and his mother for nearly two years. So when Bleep Bleeps, the company behind the Suzy Snooze night light, told me its product could help, I nearly wept. Suzy Snooze isn’t a crazy contraption that’ll change the way you think about parenting-tech, it’s a well-designed update on the traditional night light. It features a soothing orange light, calming ambient music, and a built-in timer. Unlike other noisy night lights, this one doesn’t jangle out jarring noises, or…

It was less than four years ago that Netflix said offline downloads were ‘never going to happen.’ Thankfully, the company has changed its tune since and offline downloads are now a common practice for watching video on mobile devices. There’s only one problem: downloaded video takes up a lot of space – especially if you opt for high quality. Netflix is now easing the burden. Starting today, the app will be able to automatically delete downloaded videos once you’ve watched them. Better yet, it’ll automatically download the next one too, so you’re always ready to continue your binge. If you…
