After weeks of rumors and leaks, Apple today announced that some significant updates are coming to its popular Apple Music subscription service. Apple is adding multiple lossless audio options for starters, using the proprietary Apple Lossless Audio Code (ALAC).

Users will be able to enable this feature by navigating to Settings --> Music --> Audio Quality.

Nokia is back in the smartphone business, but the company has not yet been restored to its former glory. Nokia sat idly by after it sold its Devices and Services Division to Microsoft, only to see the company squander any momentum with smartphones and layoff thousands of employees in the process. HMD Global (HMD), a Finnish company that acquired the rights to use the Nokia brand, has released its first smartphone, the Nokia 6. Like the overwhelming majority of new smartphones released today, it is running Google’s Android operating system — in this case, the most recent version, Nougat. The Nokia 6 is squarely in mid-range smartphone territory, bringing with it a 5.5-inch 1080p display wrapped...

No one likes waiting, and that is especially true when you're waiting for that brand new game that you purchased from the Xbox Games Store or twiddling your thumbs while a new system or game update is downloaded. Microsoft has heard your pain and just pushed out a new Xbox One system update that gets right to the heart of long download times.

Microsoft says that its network code update means that customers will experience up to 80 percent faster download speeds. Even if you don’t have a fat pipe...
