We hope you’ve had a fantastic weekend! Now that you’re back, you might want to catch up on all that’s happened while you’ve been out enjoying the final stretch of summer (those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway).
This weekend, Craigslist defiantly removed its Adult Services section, the most popular iPhone game in the App Store made its Android debut, Kanye West finally apologized to Taylor Swift, and we learned that HP’s former CEO is in talks to start work at Oracle.
As always, we published some fun and helpful features, too. Thanks for reading!
