Weekly output: phone plans, Nvidia keynote, passkey adoption, Bending Spoons buys AOL, SpaceX simplifying Starship lander, Internet luminaries on the open Web
This is not going to be a great week for normal sleep cycles: Tuesday, I will wake up at around 4 a.m. to spend a 15-plus hour shift working as an election officer for Arlington, and then Wednesday I’m off to Dulles Airport for this year’s final business trip across the Atlantic. I’m departing for Web Summit in Lisbon several days early because the organizers of another conference, the Mozilla Festival, offered a press pass and a travel stipend to cover that event in Barcelona. I’ve heard good things about this conference over the years, so accepting an invitation to spend a few days in one of my favorite cities in Europe was an easy call.
In addition to what you see below, Patreon readers got a detailed recap of how this past week’s event-packed schedule left its own series of dents in my calendar.
10/28/2025: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter
This was going to be a modest update to the guide that I’ve been maintaining since 2014, but T-Mobile jacking up prices while AT&T and Verizon inflicted more modest rate hikes led to us dethroning T-Mo on cost grounds and handing our “for most people” pick to AT&T, which has advanced its own 5G network considerably.
10/28/2025: In DC, Nvidia CEO Touts New AI Partnerships, Goes a Little MAGA, PCMag
Heading into Nvidia’s conference, I was worried that CEO Jensen Huang would go into the weeds about the finer points of GPU architecture. Instead, he used this nearly two-hour keynote to jump from topic to topic without getting into too much detail about any of them–and kept coming back to opportunities to praise President Trump.
10/29/2025: Passkey Adoption Sees Striking Progress, With One Obvious Leader, PCMag
I struggled to get this written at the end of a long workday, resulting in my getting some nuances wrong that required updating the post the next morning.
11/1/2025: Serial Dot-Com Purchaser Bending Spoons to Buy AOL, But Why?, PCMag
Writing about AOL in 2025 makes me feel so old, but as one of PCMag’s graybeards I had to cover the news of Bending Spoons buying the company that once ruled the online world. I got to this story a day after it broke, so I turned that lag into an opportunity to expand the piece with some quotes from a publicist for that Italian firm and from a podcast interview of its CEO Luca Ferrari last year
11/1/2025: After Elon Tantrum, SpaceX Now Prepping ‘Simplified’ Starship-Based Lunar Lander, PCMag
Since I wrote about Elon Musk’s childish reaction to NASA’s understandable concern over the pace of its Human Landing System work, I had to reach for a keyboard to cover SpaceX’s grown-up corporate response.
11/1/2025: ‘The Truth Is Paywalled.’ Internet Vets Lament the State of the ‘Open’ Web, PCMag
This Monday-evening panel was one of the first items on my calendar this week, but having event after event after event follow it led to me not writing it up until Thursday night. Once again, it was a serious treat to hear some of the Internet’s founding figures talk about the state of the thing they invented.

Weekly output: Internet founders in D.C., Tim Berners-Lee at Web Summit, Bluesky account-verification advice
This holiday-shortened week still had a lot of work–just not all the kind that yielded bylines, in some cases not the kind that will yield bylines this year.
11/25/2024: Internet Founders: Open Architectures Are Best, But Big Tech Makes It Difficult, PCMag
As I wrote last week, it’s a treat seeing Internet pioneers speak about how their collective invention has been working out and what we ought to be doing with it.
11/27/2024: The man who gave us the web is building a better digital wallet, Fast Company
My Fast Company editor Harry McCracken asked if I wanted to join him to quiz the inventor of the Web at Web Summit, and I quickly said I’d clear my schedule for that. Like two years ago, Harry asked most of the questions and then wrote up our conversation.
11/29/2024: Real or Imposter? How to Verify That a Bluesky Account Is Legit, PCMag
My inspiration for this how-to came from seeing some bozo try to impersonate Rep. Don Beyer (D.-Va.) on Bluesky, then wondering why my congressman had not domain-verified his account with a house.gov handle, then personally shaming Bay Area Rapid Transit into tweeting its Bluesky handle from its verified X account (BART has since domain-verified its account). My editors then updated the post Sunday with details from posts Friday afternoon by Bluesky’s safety account about how the platform is dealing with this impersonation problem–including a recognition that “users want more ways to verify their identity beyond domain verification.”

Reminder: It’s neat covering a technology when its inventors are still around to talk about it
Friday afternoon had me in the audience at a tech event watching two older computer scientists discuss their work. That could be interesting in a variety of contexts, but it wasn’t just any two life-experienced CS types speaking at Project Liberty’s Summit on the Future of the Internet: Steve Crocker and Vint Cerf are pivotal to the Internet’s past, having helped to create the thing.
It’s not a given that most of the developers of a technology prototyped in 1969 would still be around to talk about it in 2024, but they are here and so here we are. Which means that every time I get to see any of these Internet pioneers talk about what they helped to give the world, I realize what a treat that is.
Nobody writing about aviation or electricity or cars or rockets today has that kind of privilege, and people writing about the Internet 20 years from now almost certainly won’t either.
In Cerf’s case, that privilege has happened reasonably often over the years—including a few extended interviews and one panel I did with the co-designer of the Internet’s TCP/IP foundation at a Google event in D.C. in 2011.
Two weeks ago, I had a similar experience at Web Summit in Lisbon when my Fast Company editor Harry McCracken asked if I’d like to join him for a meeting with Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web. No other communications platform has been as important to my work as the Web, so of course I’d make time for that. My reply to Harry: “Excellent. When at?”
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sir Tim (Queen Elizabeth II knighted him in 2004 in recognition of his work) a few times before then. Among them, I keep thinking back to one such occasion in 2009, a fancy reception at the Finnish Embassy at which he was one of the speakers. I said hello to the man afterwards and thanked him for giving me something to write about all these years; he said with his typical modesty something like “Oh, I’m sure you would have found other things to write about.”
When Harry met Berners-Lee for the first time at Web Summit two years ago—somehow that had not happened before, despite my editor being a walking encyclopedia of computing history—he, too, thanked Sir Tim for inventing the Web. His equally gracious reply: “You’re very welcome—use it any time you like.”
My industry has its share of jerks, but these guys aren’t among them.
