Over the past week, I’ve been working to track down the new owner of MacSurfer’s Headline News, a beloved site that shut down in 2020 and has recently had somewhat mysterious revival. Fortunately, after some digging that didn’t really lead anywhere, I received an email from its new owner, Ken Turner, and he graciously took the time to answer a few questions about the new project.

From an age before social media, it was a wonderf...| SchwarzTech

That continues today, as I finally get to review what might be Microsoft’s most infamous unreleased product, the Surface Neo. Unlike the Surface Mini and other unreleased devices that I’ve tested, the Surface Neo is a product that Microsoft actually announced to the public and even set a release date for. Unveiled in October 2019, it had a promised release window of “...| SchwarzTech
