Google Maps and Search add business holiday hours

Unsure if your favorite restaurant or shop is open or closed this holiday season? Google is helping you out in this department by adding holiday hours of businesses. Businesses where holiday hours aren’t listed will show a warning message that alerts you that actual business hours might be different because of the holidays. If the shop you want to visit is indeed closed during the time you want to visit it, you can select the Open Now filter to see which shops or restaurant is open nearby.

TELUS have announced that they have a memorandum of understanding with telecommunications and ICT supplier Huawei to build a “5G Living Lab” in Vancouver. The new project will have Huawei and TELUS testing next-generation converged fibre-wireless network in downtown Vancouver.

This agreement follows TELUS’ announcement of a $1-billion investment to expand its fibre optic network in Vancouver.

This partnership is also in line with helping the City of Vancouver meet its goal of making it the world’s greenest city by 2020. They will serve as providers of network capacity and speed needed to create a “smart city” as well as support for other sustainability-focused technology initiatives.

Unroll.me comes to iOS to help you get rid of email subscriptions

You might have tons and tons of email subscriptions you don’t know how to get rid of. Or you’ve been using Unroll.me on your desktop for a while already. If you’re an iOS user, you can now bring that experience to your iPhone or iPad with the new Unroll.me app. It turns tossing newsletters into a Tinder-like experience. You just swipe left the little cards these newsletter emails have been turned into if you want to trash them. If you swipe up, it will “roll up” these emails into a digest whenever there are a group of new releases. If you want to keep the newsletters, you swipe right. Unroll.me will keep them in the same place.

Apple brings Categories to tvOS App Store

It can get cumbersome looking for apps to download for your Apple TV. Thankfully, Apple has decided to introduce its Categories section to the tvOS App Store. There are currently only two categories: Games and Entertainment. But those two seem to be central to the Apple TV experience anyway. Fourth-generation Apple TV owners will be able to find the Categories section at the top navigation bar of the App Store. If it isn’t there, force quit the App Store in the tvOS app switcher and then reopen.
