Wouldn’t it be great to have enough money to splurge for both the necessities and the absurd on Amazon? Well, the online marketplace is giving everyone a chance to do just that. All you have to do is download an app.

From now until April 15, you have a chance to win a $25,000 shopping spree on Amazon. That’s not exactly chump change, and you can get quite a bit of shopping done with that much money. If you want an opportunity at winning the sweepstakes, though, you’ll have to jump through a few hoops.

For starters, the contest is only open to U.S. customers 18 years of age or older. Sorry, international readers. Secondly, you’ll have to be registered on Amazon’s website. You’ll then need to download and install the Amazon Appstore on your Android device, if you haven’t done so already. Finally, you must download an app, whether it’s free or paid. Regardless of how many apps you download, you are only given one entry, though, so loading up your device with Amazon apps won’t increase your chances one iota.

If you want your shot at a $25,000 Amazon shopping spree, and don’t mind loading up the Amazon Appstore on your device, head on over to the registration page and sign up. What do you have to lose?

Apple’s latest Find My feature taps airlines to rescue lost luggage

Share Item Location feature introduced with iOS 18 beta 2 update.

Apple’s Find My platform for item location is one of the most lucrative elements of its ecosystem. Now, the company is introducing a new feature called Share Item Location, which allows users to securely share the location of any accessory (or item with an AirTag attached) with friends or commercial airline service providers.

To that end, the company has joined hands with over 15 airline service providers operating across North America, Australia, Asia, and Europe to help passengers locate their lost items. The airline partners will kick-start their respective tracking assistance services in the coming months.

Alphabeats, a company that uses music to give your brain a workout, has returned after its initial launch earlier this year with a new partnership that makes the technology more accessible to more people. It has teamed up with Muse to integrate its unusual training method into the brand’s high-tech headbands with built-in electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors.

Muse wearers will be able to use the Alphabeats app to play music, which is tuned to their brainwaves and then adapted to create a high-intensity interval training-style workout for the mind, training it to improve focus, promote relaxation, or to meditate. Your brainwaves are tracked by the Muse headband and visualized in the Alphabeats app, while the headband comes with a new feature called the Brain Recharge Score, which allows you to understand how your brain is reacting to stress and demanding tasks over time.

I compared Apple’s and Samsung’s AI photo editing tools. There’s a clear winner

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max's screen.

Apple has joined the AI game with Apple Intelligence, finally catching up to its competitors in that department. And with the iOS 18.1 update in October, most people who have a compatible iPhone can finally use those Apple Intelligence tools, including Clean Up.

The Clean Up tool in the Photos app is basically Apple’s version of Google’s Magic Eraser or Samsung’s Object Eraser. Back when I compared Magic Eraser and Object Eraser, Samsung’s tool was the better of the two. So, how does Apple’s Clean Up compare? Let’s find out.
