Have you been thinking about getting a new mobile phone?

It’s something that most of us go through every few years when our service plans offer us an upgrade or we happen to drop them in such a way that there is no way they can be repaired. With so many different phones out on the market, it can be really tough to work out which device you should get.

That’s why this handy little video from the Verge might help you a lot. In it they look at their recommended smartphone for most people and some alternatives (if you don’t like their top picks).

by

With the start of the new academic year, I took a look at a lot of the apps I use on my iPad to help teach. Some of my pre-existing tools stayed, but in a few cases I wondered if there was something better that could do the job I had been doing better.

But is it really all that different from Siri?

After all, Siri and previous versions of the Google Voice assistance have been around for a few years. In the video below, Marques Brownlee (or MKBHD) takes both of them through their paces by asking them to do some simple tasks.
