Sometimes we come across deals we think are too good to be true, looking for a clever catch in the fine print. While, in some instances, our instincts are spot-on, other times we’re left full of regret for missing out on the kind of limited-time sale that only comes around once in a while.
Don’t let the latter happen to you. The Official Cyber Monday Mac Bundle Ft. Parallels Pro & Luminar 4 will change the way you use your Mac, and is only available for a limited time. Featuring 12 hugely popular apps, there’s something for everyone, and will ultimately make your Mac run better.
The star of this bundle is definitely Parallels, which normally costs more than this entire bundle does. It’s widely known as the best software for running Windows on a Mac, so you can enjoy the best of both operating systems. If you use one OS for work and another for play (it’s great for gamers!), expect a smooth user experience. It's trusted by over 7 million users, and is a top-15 grossing app in the Mac App Store.
Luminar 4 is another highlight. The world’s first AI-powered photo editor, the software has won numerous awards and was most recently named Outdoor Photographer Editors' Pick EISA Award: Best Photo Software 2019-2020. Photographers of any skill level can easily perfect their portraits, replace dull skies, polish images, and more.
The bundle also includes productivity apps like PDFpenPro (the simplest way to edit a PDF), MindMaster (a professional mind-mapping tool), and BusyCal 3 (an enhanced calendar app), with the added perks of two lifetime subscriptions. One is GooseVPN, which ensures privacy and security as you surf the web – plus, it has 4.7 stars in the App Store and 5 stars on CNET. The other subscription is for uTalk, the language e-learning platform featuring 140+ languages, 30 million users, and 4.3 stars in the App Store.
There’s truly something for every Mac user in this highly rated bundle. To put it in perspective, last year’s bundle raked in more than 100 5-star reviews, and over 17,000 were sold. The clock is ticking, so move fast – this incredible deal is only available for a limited time.
Tech and entertainment giant Sony appears to be getting serious about automaking. An electric concept SUV — the Vision S-02 — was unveiled at CES 2022 and is slated to be produced by a new subdivision, Sony Mobility. This comes after the company revealed the Vision S concept Sedan at CES 2020.
The highly transmissible omicron variant of COVID-19 has forced school districts nationwide to return to virtual instruction, but there remain concerns about the quality of education students are receiving online. Andy Bird, CEO of Pearson, an education publisher and assessment service provider, joined Cheddar's "Opening Bell" to talk about steps educators and parents can take to make the remote learning experience an easier one, noting that one of the biggest advantages teachers can have is flexibility. "You cannot take a rigid timetable that works in the analog world and replicate that in the digital world. You need to have flexibility. Asynchronous learning, I think, is a very important part," he told Cheddar.

This year's United Nations COP26 conference was key for getting world leaders on board with emissions reductions and other climate-focused policies as the UN Secretary-General said the agency's report on global warming is a 'code red for humanity.' In the U.S., President Joe Biden has focused most of his domestic agenda on slashing emissions and building climate-focused infrastructure. Guests from The Economist, UNC-Chapel Hill, Global Rescue, and more join Cheddar Climate's year-end special to discuss how the climate changed in 2021, and what to expect in 2022.
