We’ve all been able to check on our kitties’ outdoor activities for a while now, thanks to motion-activated cameras. And the internet’s favourite cat flap even live-tweets when it senses paws through the door. But what’s eluded us “owners” of felines up until now is the ability to stop our furry companions from bringing home […]

The closure of schools has called attention to the digital divide, which sees poorer families struggling or unable to access education*. The coronavirus pandemic didn’t cause this divide, but it has highlighted it and its impact on many people in our society. As our Foundation CEO Philip outlined back in April, part of our response […]
