One of the major gripes of iPad users is the lack of a built in Calculator that should come with the device without the need to go to the App Store and download one.

But, as it turns out, the iPad DOES have a built in calculator - SPOTLIGHT!

Here's how it works:

At the Home Screen, press [ALT]+[SPACEBAR].
Now, type in a math problem, such as 45 / 23.
As soon as you type in 23, it'll show the answer: 1.9565217391
That's it.

A week after Apple updated its App Review Guidelines to allow retro game console emulators in the App Store, a Game Boy Emulator by the name of iGBA has appeared on the store worldwide and is already one of the top free apps on the App Store Chart.

iGBA works with Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games. It is important to note that it can be illegal to possess certain ROMs from game developers, but homebrew Game Boy games are typically in the clear.

Google VPN is shutting down “Later this Year (2024)”

Google is shutting down its VPN by Google One service, according to a vague customer email seen by Android Authority, less than four years after it was rolled out in October 2020. The email doesn’t specify whenthis will happen, only that the VPN service will be discontinued “later this year.”

Subscription prices for Google One’s VPN start at $1.99, with availability on Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows. The company told 9to5Google that it is killing the service because “people simply weren’t using it.” Perhaps its customers were simply spoilt for choice, given this is actually one of three VPN services provided by Google alongside the VPN offerings still available via Google Fi, and Pixel devices from the Pixel 7 on up.

VPN by Google One is the latest offering to get tossed into the infamous “Google Graveyard” just weeks after the Google One cloud storage service announced it had hit a 100 million subscribermilestone. Google mentioned in its shutdown email that the VPN was being phased out to “focus on providing the most in-demand features and benefits,” which may relate to all the Gemini AI stuff that the company is shoving into Google One.
