Google Docs works surprisingly well in Safari on iPadOS
I had some brief time actually using an iPad Pro running iPadOS yesterday, and one of the first things I did was open up a Safari tab Apple had waiting for me: a Google Doc. Google Docs has long been a huge problem on the iPad, for two reasons. First, Google’s own iPad app is godawful and the company seems hell bent on not updating it to work better. Second, Google Docs in Safari on the iPad right now redirects you to that app even if you “Request Desktop Site.”
On iPadOS, however, Google Docs in Safari seems great.
Admittedly, I only spent about five minutes poking around, but I went straight for the stuff I didn’t expect to work at all — and it worked. Keyboard shortcuts for formatting and header styling, comments, cursor placement,…

LG Unveils 88-Inch 8K OLED TV For $34,000
South Korea’s LG is getting ready to roll out its 8K OLED TV, which was first revealed at the January 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Vegas.
At 88 inches, the 88Z9 is definitely big, but more than its size, the striking thing is that 8K Ultra HD, which sports an astonishing 7680 X 4320 image quality, thanks to more than 33 million self-emitting pixels.
You don’t really need to know much about TVs to know that pixel count is four times more than found in now-standard 4K resolution and 16 times regular HD.
The 88Z9, in other words, makes that 4K flat screen you picked up at Target two years ago about as current as your grandparents’ old Zenith with rabbit ear antennae.
LG didn’t stop with crystal-clear resolution. The 88Z9 is no dumb, passive screen. It uses deep learning—machine learning related to the way artificial neural networks function—to create powerful surround sound that supports Dolby Atmos. That’s all thanks to LG’s Alpha 9 Gen 2 8K intelligtent processor.
Add baked-in Google Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa (depending on where the set is sold) and you see the 88Z9 is more like a huge, powerful computer disguised as a TV.
The 88Z9 is the first commercially-available 8K OLED TV and it’s now available for to order in South Korea at the equivalent of $29,000 USD.
It will ship in North American and European markets in the third quarter of 2019 at $42,000, and if you go ahead and pre-order now, LG will toss in an air purifier for free.
The horror movie Ma does Riverdale better than Riverdale
Riverdale, the CW soap that doubles as an alternate-world adaptation of Archie comics, recently wrapped its third season with a characteristic mix of utter nonsense and mic-dropping bravado. After a winding series of 22 episodes that saw some of the show’s weirdest, strongest storylines (the cult-like hold of a role-playing game called Griffins & Gargoyles; Archie’s prison break) as well as some of its most tedious, inexplicable detours (Archie’s boxing gig; endless Hiram Lodge real estate shenanigans), the season finale ended, as the show often does, with a killer teaser for what might happen next.
After the show’s sexed-up reimagining of Archie (KJ Apa), Jughead (Cole Sprouse), Veronica (Camila Mendes), and Betty (Lili Reinhart)…
