The Many, Um, Misstatements of Donald Trump
S.V. Dáte: All of this is readily known to even a schoolchild with a casual interest in airplanes—which raises the question: Where and why would Trump get the idea his plane was bigger? Great read. But why not call these lies?

The Apple Pencil Enhances Note-Taking on the iPad Pro
Thomas Wong: One of the coolest multitasking benefits of the iPad Pro is that there’s enough space to read source material and take handwritten notes, simultaneously.
