Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) AirTags have remained dominant in the Bluetooth tracker market, with people spending billions to help keep track of their things.  But there hasn’t been a viable alternative. Tile, which only tracks using the owner’s device, lost its competitive...

If you regularly ride your bike, you know how often people mess with it.  You can lock up your bike’s frame, but someone steals the front tire. You lock up everything, but someone cuts the chain, and they’re gone. It’s a bike, so the cops are unlikely to do anything, and it...

Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) AirTag might not seem like a big-ticket item, but the company has now sold over $1 billion worth — or about 55 million — of the handy little trackers since launching in April 2021. Tile, Apple’s largest rival in the space, isn’t too far...

Warren Buffett loves Coke and Dairy Queen, has lived in the same house for decades and only recently upgraded to a smartphone — in 2020.  Widely considered one of the best investors ever, a defining moment in Buffett’s career and one of his best investments ever came from a salad...

You might not believe it, but car theft is on the rise. Older cars were typically easier to steal because of reduced anti-theft features, but it seems the edge of modern cars is waning. Car thefts bottomed out in 2014, with a relatively flat car-thefts-per-capita rate between 2010 and 2019. But...
