Before we get to the headlines, I wanted to tell you about a book I really enjoyed reading. Given all of the division today, Dan Rather’s book What Unites Us delivered a very positive message. It was a very easy and uplifting read as Dan shared stories from throughout his life on some of the biggest topics we all face. If you are looking for something good to read, it should be on your list.
Rollable TV, Trump Twitter hacked, ransomware variants, Windows 10 features, electric Hummer, iPhone 12 and QR code on gravestones. Those are just a few of the headlines in the news this week. Look at all the headlines below and click on a headline to read the full story.
