LG's new QNED TVs are the first to feature Mini LED technology

LG will announce its first-ever Mini LED TV at CES in January. 

The company is well-known for quality OLED TVs, but Mini LED technology is said to be even better than OLED in some regards (and definitely superior to plain old LCD), so LG is dipping its toes into those waters as well. 

The new TVs will officially be called LG QNED Mini LED TVs, and I bet it will leave many customers scratching their heads. The name is reminiscent of Samsung's QLED TVs, which is a name that's similar to OLED, even though QLEDs are essentially LCDs enhanced with Samsung's quantum dot tech. So now, LG appears to be positioning QNED as its competitor to Samsung's QLED, with the "N" apparently standing for LG's NanoCell tech, but...isn't Mini LED the most important new technology here?  Read more...

How to force quit on Mac

We’ve all dealt with it: the colorful spinning wheel of doom. An app on your computer is slowing down your MacOS, and it’s time to take action so you can get back to work.

When the wheel of doom — more formally known as Mac’s wait cursor — pops up, it signals that one of your apps has crashed, likely taking with it any work you haven’t saved. It’s time to force quit the unresponsive app causing the problem so you can get back to what you’re doing. 

In most cases, you’ll know which app isn’t working properly because it will be frozen and you won’t be able to use it. But you can also figure it out by switching between your apps. When an app is working fine, you’ll see your normal arrow cursor. When a frozen app isn’t responding, you’ll see the colorful wait cursor. Read more...
