Goa is sunny days with the wind in your face as you ride a scooter down narrow, twisting roads. It is endless plates of seafood, Kings beer and sand in your toes as the sun sinks low over the ocean. The Goa of Summer. But Goa in the monsoon is a whole other creature; her roads are gleaming wet, the trees are a rain-soaked green, and the air is dense and mossy. A weekend in early August, the Goa Tourism Department hosted the GoaInstawalk, inviting us to explore a Goa beyond beaches. We checked into a beautiful room at the Panjim Inn on a Friday afternoon, complete with vintage bed and a chair like the one my grandfather had. I put both feet up and closed my eyes, listening to the steady patter of rain on the leaves. Panjim Inn is situated in Old Goa, bordered by the Ourem Creek and Altinho Hill. We spent the evening walking her streets and stopping at street carts to sample the goods. Sweet beef samosas, crisp prawn cutlets and beef burgers made with pav bread. Saturday morning was s...

This may be a schematic for a chip in the iPhone 6. Each year, we hear rumors that Apple will finally add Near Field Communication (NFC) to the iPhone.  As it turns out, 2014 isn't any different, because we're seeing a ton of indicators that the tech could appear in Apple's iPhone 6. NFC is a technology that allows you to share information or perform an action by simply tapping your phone against another compatible device or sensor. It is most commonly used for making payments with your phone or for sharing photos or contacts with another phone by tapping the two devices together. Many manufacturers behind today's biggest Android phones, including Samsung, have been putting NFC in their gadgets for years. But we have yet to see the technology really take off. Samsung's S Beam feature, for example, which allows you to share content by tapping two Samsung phones together back to back, is powered by NFC. It was originally introduced back in 2012 with the G...
