Palabre 2.0 Gets A Visual Overhaul And Adds More News Providers Like Twitter, Inoreader, The Old Reader, And An SDK For Developers

When Google Reader got shut down a few years ago, I was in disarray. My entire work system relied on having an easy one-stop site to check all the news and articles that have been recently published instead of having to visit each source to check it out.

AirHelp, a startup that helps collect compensation for airline customers, released an infographic on Tuesday, giving airlines a score based on their helpfulness in trying times.

iPhone 6s and 6s Plus Korean preorders sold out within minutes

Apple’s newest iPhones – the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus went up for pre-orders in South Korea yesterday. Such was the fan frenzy that all the pre-orders were snapped up within minutes.
