The Dawn of Web Banking Before we get started on this little journey, we need to talk about web banking (also known as home banking or online banking). My bank issued an online account to me the moment I created it in 2008. Through this account, I can access my bank records, make payments, and even open new accounts for savings. Through a simple flick of my keyboard, I can do many things without ever having to walk to the bank or insert my debit card into an ATM machine....

Fortunately there are apps available for Android, and my favorite is BeyondPod, which works in conjunction with Feedly to help you manage your shows. At the time BeyondPod got started, it used a little known feature called Google Listen, which added a section to Reader where the podcasts you subscribe to resided. But that died along with the RSS program, leaving BeyondPod to scurry for a solution. The developers settled on that same Listen folder, but moved it to Feedly....

Introduction Mission first launched its 700 standmount speakers in 1980. The world’s changed more than somewhat since then, but Mission nevertheless thinks the time is right to reintroduce a decades-old design, as it hopes that the speakers’ look and proportions will be perceived as thrillingly retro rather than tediously old-fashioned. It’s not the only loudspeaker brand that’s revisiting former glories. JBL and Wharfedale, to name but two, are currently doing much the same with their own back catalogues....

While this may seem rather frustrating, it’s not the end of the road....

Mid way through 2022 we reported on a couple of sources claiming that the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE had been cancelled. This would have been the latest in Samsung’s so-called ‘Fan Edition’ phones, which are more affordable updates of its popular Galaxy S line.

According to a recent tweet, the S22 FE is very much in Samsung’s launch plans for 2023, and it’s the Samsung Galaxy A74 that will make way for it....
