If a teenager takes a selfie in a national park and no one sees it, did it really happen? Yellowstone National Park is known for its beautiful natural landscapes and wildlife, but that may not be enough to carry it — and other parks — through the next century. See also: 10 One-Star Yelp Reviews of Majestic National Parks Park officials are discussing a $34 million fiber-optic line through Grand Teton National Park into Yellowstone in Wyoming with multinational communications company CenturyLink, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), which filed a public records request for the information. The line would dramatically improve connectivity for mobile devices. The prospect of wireless service in the park is causing debate between those who see better technology as a sure thing in the future, and those who think some places — like gorgeous valleys — should be off-limits to modern technology. In 2016, the National Park Service will celebrate … [Read more...] about Do national parks need Wi-Fi to stay relevant?

OS X Mavericks review
Over the course of the past decade, we've seen many changes to OS X - some iterative, some significant. OS X's newest incarnation, "Mavericks" or version 10.9, is a bit of both. It doesn't significantly rework the user interface like Apple did with iOS 7, though there are some nice tweaks. Apple did make a number of changes under the hood to improve performance and efficiency, however, especially for mobile users. Note: Some of this material was originally published in our Mavericks preview but was incomplete and outdated due to Apple's non-disclosure agreement (NDA). It's been fully updated, expanded upon, and refined here into our full on OS X review. Enjoy! OS X evolution It's been a long road to get here.

Venture capital coursed through Bangalore’s clogged streets. Millions of Indians were suddenly booking their first Uber rides, receiving their first Amazon packages, watching their first Netflix shows, and having their first WhatsApp chats, some of it powered by the free Wi-Fi that … [Read more...] about I Thought My Job Was To Report On Technology In India.
