Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak celebrates 70th birthday with charity live stream on August 11

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak hasn't worked with the company for over 30 years, but he's still beloved by many in the tech community. It seems apt that Woz will be celebrating his 70th birthday online and for a good cause. His wife Janet set up a virtual party that will live stream on Twitch, Twitter, and Woz's birthday site to benefit musician Jewel's Inspiring Children Foundation.

The live stream will start at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, with special guests Octavia Spencer, Shaquille O'Neal, Shepherd Fairey, David Copperfield, George Takei, and Jewel as the event's host. After the live stream, it will kick off "11 Days of Wozdom," which is described as an 11-day challenge to win Apple gear and other merchandise, a shout-out from Woz on Twitter, and many more. The challenges haven't been revealed yet, but we expect to hear about them during the live stream.

Review: Alcatel Go Flip 3

By Canadian Reviewer Staff

The time seems right for the humble flip phone to make a comeback. During these uncertain times when connectivity is critical as is long battery life, there are vary few affordable options for an easy to use and reliable phone used mainly for voice calls.

Alcatel’s Go Flip 3 will be a compelling option for people who need a second (or third phone), who require the ability to make and take voice calls, and who seek a distraction free communications device. The way the Go Flip 3 is designed makes it ideal for younger kids who need a phone to call their parents without the app and gaming temptation found in most smartphones.

It has a vibrant back panel matched by an equally standout S Pen in the same colour. The phone also gets an exclusive wallpaper through local Korean carrier KT.

Everything else about the handset remains the same. In South Korea, the phone runs on an Exynos 990 processor with 5G modem, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB storage. The other colour variants the Note 20 is available in include Mystic Bronze, Mystic Green, and Mystic Gray.
