To Like or Not to Like
You Like Me, You Really Like Me Instagram has made a lot of tweaks to its user experience lately, like removing the following tab (simultaneously making it harder to stalk people and easier for us to like really embarrassing things) and changing the “explore” experience. But now it’s doing something that’s got opinions very …
California Dreaming
Fitbit is Dead. Long Live Fitbit. Last week we talked about the possible sale of Fitbit to Google’s parent company Alphabet.

Naysayers call it a gimmick, an invitation to thieves and vandals (there are entire Instagram accounts devoted to trashing public scooters), and a boon to personal …
