From the Cambridge Analytica scandal to countless other privacy issues, 2018 hasn’t been such a banner year for Facebook when it comes to its users’ private data.

Facebook undoubtedly realizes this and would like to get back in its users’ good graces. So, on Thursday, in Manhattan’s Bryant Park, Facebook set up its own pop-up shop. While the temporary IRL Facebook location was filled with holiday-themed directions, its true purpose was to spread tidings of comfort and joy via educating New Yorkers on the social network’s privacy setting options.

This holiday season, while everyone else is giving and receiving the year’s hottest new tech items, why not do something a little different?

Give the gift of old and absolutely out-of-date technology to the geek in your life this year! (We’re not kidding.)

iPhones and iPads are more expensive than ever. The latest video game console bundles are already sold out. And the techie who already has all the newest gear is expecting you to give them that annual iTunes gift card. Change it up; surprise your loved one with the gift of retro technology.

Here are a few gift ideas that will have you reminiscing about the good old days and leave your gift recipient’s mouth agape (which could be good or bad, but it’ll certainly be fun!). Read more…

In 2018, it’s a safe bet that several items on your loved ones’ holiday wish lists come in telltale rectangular boxes and include chargers.

Kurt Russell is coming down the chimney.

Netflix has released the first trailer for the holiday film The Christmas Chronicles, and the Emmy- and Globe-nominated actor is rocking the whole Santa get up—minus the cherry red nose.

Flanked by two fledgling documentarians, Russell’s Santa gets in a bit of jam on Christmas Eve when his reindeer are forced into a crash landing. 

From delightful banter with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend‘s Vella Lovell to charmingly flippant dialogue with New Girl‘s Lamorne Morris, this Kris Kringle is teeing up a new kind of festive treat. Seriously, he plays in a jazz band and does whatever this is: Read more…
