Apple's head of retail Deidre O'Brien has posted a letter on the company's website detailing how it plans to safely restart operations at its retail stores. Apple shut all of its stores outside Greater China in March as COVID-19 spread worldwide; all the Greater China stores reopened that same month, while Apple is still in the process of taking careful steps elsewhere.

"Our commitment is to only move forward with a reopening once we're confident we can safely return to serving customers from our stores," O'Brien writes. "We look at every available piece of data — including local cases, near and long‑term trends, and guidance from national and local health officials. These are not decisions we rush into — and a store opening in no way...

The US Secret Service says it is investigating a Nigerian crime ring that has been using Americans' stolen identities to file fraudulently for unemployment benefits, according to Krebs on Security. Authorities say members of the ring were able to exploit weak security measures within many states' unemployment systems at a time when millions of Americans are applying for benefits.

The agency sent a memo to field offices late last week which said the Nigeria-based ring appeared to be using a "substantial" database of stolen personal information, much of it from first responders, government personnel, and school employees, according to Krebs. The Secret Service said the fraudsters' primary target was Washington State, with evidence of...

If you're caught up on all your binge watching (my current obsession is The Good Fight because a) Diane's wardrobe and b) what the hell is Memo 618?!) and need something new to stream, here are five options coming to streaming platforms this week, including a new standup show from Patton Oswalt and the season two premiere of Homecoming starring Janelle Monae.

The Great (Hulu, available now)

Polygon's Samantha Nelson says this mostly-not-historically-accurate story of the young Catherine the Great is "a Mean Girls costume-drama feel, while upping the stakes with enough violence, sex, and intrigue to satisfy Game of Thrones fans." Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult star.

I am super looking forward to this police...

Users of videoconferencing platform Zoom were reporting problems hosting and joining meetings on Sunday. "Our team is investigating the root cause of issues joining Zoom Meetings.

Dyson's canceled electric vehicle was known internally as the N526, would have had a 600-mile range per charge and could go from zero to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds, company founder James Dyson said in an interview with the (London) Sunday Times. James Dyson says he even drove the prototype of the SUV-style vehicle, meant to rival Tesla's electric vehicles, "secretly in a screened-off compound."

The vacuum cleaner company's short-lived electric car project started in 2017, and at one point some 600 people at Dyson were working on it. In 2018, Dyson said it would build a manufacturing plant in Singapore to make the EVs, and was also working on developing solid-state batteries for the vehicle.

All across the country, people are finding ways to adapt to our new stay-at-home normal, and for some, that means adopting a furry friend. Shelters in the US have reported an increase in adoptions since the start of the pandemic, some of which have had to create waitlists or pause applications until they can rescue more animals. Petfinder.com, which works with shelters and rescue organizations throughout the country, saw adoption inquiries jump 122 percent between March 15th and April 15th.

It's led to a unique set of issues that many shelters haven't faced before: juggling increased applications for pet adoptions and foster homes while having to adjust to their new circumstances.

Many rescue organizations have had to close their...
