The unusually long wait is over.

Apple's AirPods are finally available to buy online after a rare delay pushed back the release by about two months.
The pricey wireless earbuds ($159) were initially listed as available for delivery on December 21, but by late morning on Tuesday the delivery date had been pushed back until after Christmas.
"AirPods will be shipping in limited quantities at launch and customers are encouraged to check online for updates on availability and estimated delivery dates," Apple said in a press release.
The earbuds will be available in Apple Stores starting next week.
Apple (AAPL, Tech30) unveiled AirPods in September at its big press event for the iPhone 7. In October, Apple delayed the launch indefinitely.

"The early response to AirPods has been incredible," a spokeswoman for Apple said at the time. "We don't believe in shipping a product before it's ready, and we need a little more time before AirPods are ready for our customers."

AirPods are incredibly light and come with a built-in microphone for phone calls and the Siri voice assistant. They also have sensors to detect when you take one of the buds out of your ear.
But many have focused on another feature (or bug) of the product: how easy it may be to lose them. For that reason, some companies have already begun selling wires for the wireless headphones.

The Weeknd courts our shadow sides on his new album, Starboy. Courtesy of the artist    America loves a hot mess. Added by Oxford Dictionaries in August 2014, that phrase connotes "a person or thing that is spectacularly unsuccessful or disordered, especially one that is a source of peculiar fascination." The roots of hot mess attraction in popular music go as far back as the blues. We love transmissions from and about our shadow sides — secret pains, forbidden longings, destructive urges kept barely in check. Consider classic rock cyclones like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison, who combined exceptional talent and all-too-human emotion. Excess, both offstage and on, fed their legends. Long before sex addiction became a commonly understood concept, Tesfaye and Nilsson write from a knowing per

Ex Uber Employee Claims Others Used Company Technology To Track Famous Clients, Including Beyoncé

  Today in skeevy tech news, the Guardian reports that Uber employees have allegedly tracked Beyoncé's comings-and-goings by using the company's "God View" data, according to information disclosed in court documents. The claims come from the company's former forensic investigator, Samuel Ward Spangenberg, who is currently suing Uber, alleging that age discrimination and whistleblower retaliation resulted in his being fired. In an official court statement, Spangenberg also said that he approached his bosses over breaches in ethics that included storing employee and customer data in an unsafe manner. The aforementioned "God View" tool was created by the company to investigate accidents and refund-claims, but was also used by some employees to gather data on politicians, celebrities (like Beyoncé), and even personal acquaintances and exes. While Uber has admitted that there were some unethical uses of the "God View,"
