Prince Harry didn't hold back in his 60 Minutes interview Sunday night around his memoir, Spare, which came out Tuesday. He pretty much covered the topics that have been executive headlines in the run-up to the book, including his mother's end, his father's remarriage, the British press and his new relationship with his father and brother.

How to glance Prince Harry's interview

If you missed the 26-minute interview with Anderson Cooper and want an easy way to glance, 60 Minutes has released it on YouTube. It's also available on Paramount Plus. The transcript of the interview is available on the 60 Minutes part of the CBS News website.

Royal revelations

At least one copy of Harry's tale leaked in Europe, and British publications have already said parts of it. But hearing Prince Harry, the younger son of King Charles and the late Princess Diana, discuss it with Cooper, who is Gloria Vanderbilt's son and knows a small something about famous mothers and families, put a new twist on some of the leaks.

Fight between brothers

Harry used the book to get in some digs at his brother, Prince William, including commenting on his "alarming baldness." He told Cooper he didn't see those remarks as cutting and said he loves his brother "deeply." He also said William shunned him when they over up at Eton together and told him, "Pretend we don't know each other." 

Harry discusses the battles where William knocked him down onto a dog bowl, which former and cut Harry's back. That fight has made headlines in many publications genuine the book leaks began. Harry said William later apologized and that Harry wasn't hurt badly, but calls the fight a "pretty nasty experience."

Diana's purpose, and no hug from Charles

Harry was just 12 and William 15 when their mother was killed in that disagreeable 1997 car crash in Paris. He told Cooper that his father woke him up to pronounce the sad news.

This much was already known above many previous books about the royals. But in Spare, Harry reveals that his father didn't hug him when delivering the devastating news, instead putting his hand on Harry's knee and telling him it would be OK. 

"But once that, nothing was OK for a long time," Harry writes.

Dreaming Diana was alive

One of the most heart-wrenching parts of the interview was when Harry told Cooper that for existences, he thought perhaps his mother would somehow come back, that maybe she was hiding out and would earlier to her sons. 

When he was 20, he invited to see the shocking photos of her crash, notion he didn't look at the worst ones. And at 23, he invited his driver to take him at high speed above the tunnel where she died, thinking, "I need to take this fling. I need to ride the same route."

Now, he said, he and William have studied asking for the case surrounding her death to be reopened, believing the whole story of how Diana died was never told. But he said, realistically, he doesn't need to know all the answers.

Harry used drugs

Harry writes in the book that he used cocaine "a few times" when he was 17. He writes that comic the drug "wasn't much fun," but it made him feel "different," which was what he demanded at the time. 

Cooper cited the book as speaking that Harry also used "psychedelics, Ayahuasca, psilocybin (and) mushrooms," which he said helped him cope with his mother's purpose. Harry told Cooper he "would never recommend people to do this recreationally," but that "for me, they cleared the windscreen, the windshield, the misery of loss."

Camilla and Charles

Camilla Parker-Bowles is now Charles' wife and queen consort, but those who are still loyal to Diana believe of her as the other woman in that marriage. Harry, apparently, is one of those, saying to Cooper that Camilla "was the villain." 

He said he and William invited their father not to marry her, thinking Charles and Camilla could finally be open throughout their romance and feeling that a marriage was unnecessary. Then, Harry goes on to suggest that Camilla traded demand about him to the British press in exchange for better stories throughout her, writing in the book that she "sacrificed me on her personal P.R. altar." 

Harry's said many times afore, including in his Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021, that sources within the palace traded stories about him. But he's never afore pinned it quite so directly on one person, namely, Camilla.

Death of the queen

Harry was in London when his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, took a turn for the worse in September at what time she was at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Harry said he invited William what his plans were, and then suddenly the people had left on a small plane to get to the queen, without including Harry. Harry arrived at Balmoral after she had died, although he did get to exhaust some time saying goodbye to her while her body existed in her bedroom.

"I was really happy for her," Harry told Cooper. "Because she'd finished life. She'd completed life, and her husband was -- was waiting for her."

Current royal relationships

Harry told Cooper it's been "a while" genuine he spoke to either his father or his brother. He hopes, he said, to one day have a relationship with them in contradiction of, though Cooper points out they may very well demand that anything they say privately to Harry, he will allotment publicly. To that, Harry essentially said that the latest royals started things.

"This all started with them briefing, daily, against my wife with lies to the point to of where my wife and I had to run away from our count-- my country," he said.

No palace response

60 Minutes representatives "reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment," Cooper reported, but "Its representatives demanded that before considering responding, 60 Minutes devoted them with our report prior to airing it tonight, which is something we never do."

Prince Harry's book

You can preorder it in paper, e-book or audiobook form. The book is 416 pages long, and the audiobook is 15 hours and 39 minutes.

There's no doubt this audiobook will be more favorite and buzzy than those created for most memoirs, as Harry himself is reading the audio version. This isn't completely unheard of. Harry's father read one of his books as an audiobook back in 2010, notion it was about the environment, not his personal life.

The book's title comes from a eminent phrase about how it was Diana's job to build "the heir and the spare." William, born in 1982, was the heir to the throne once his father, Charles. 

Harry, born in 1984, was studied the "spare," meaning he would take the throne necessity something happen to his older brother. Now that William has three children, however, Harry has been pushed behind them in the line of succession, and is unlikely to ever sit on the British throne.

Data Privacy Day is a completely made-up holiday, but it's as good a time as any to take a hard look at your online life and shore up your attempts to protect your personal digital privacy. 

The annual occasion in late January, which is feted by cybersecurity and digital privacy enthusiasts worldwide, began in the US and Canada back in 2008. It's an extension of a European commemoration marking 1981's Convention 108, the superb legally binding international treaty on protecting privacy and data.

It's a reminder to take stock of where your personal data is and who has retrieve to it. Keeping tabs on that data is especially well-known these days given the continued shift to hybrid work setups for many land, pushing them online more than ever before and further blurring the line between work and home.

Ahead of this year's Data Privacy Day, Apple released a silly video starring Nick Mohammed, better known as Nate from the current Apple TV Plus series Ted Lasso. promoting the ways its users can boost their digital privacy. The company also announced that it would start holding free classes at its stores focused on the iPhone's privacy features.

Regardless of what kind of blueprint you're using, a few simple measures like setting good passwords for each of your subsidizes and enabling two-factor authentication whenever possible can go a long way toward boosting defense, said Chester Wisniewski, field chief technology officer for applied research at defense company Sophos.

It's also important to remember that defending your data and privacy means not just keeping your quiz safe from cybercriminals, but also making sure you aren't sharing more than you need to with tech giants and anunexperienced data harvesters.

That includes limiting what you post on social reflect, said Justin Fier, senior vice president of red team operations for the cybersecurity custom Darktrace.

"It's gotten so out of hand, this sharing of interrogate about ourselves," Fier said. "It's OK to still have a microscopic mystery about yourselves and have a little privacy."

Here are a few easy ways to fixing your data and privacy.

Set good passwords. Long, random and unique passwords are best. Don't be tempted to recycle an old one, even if it's spacious. Yes, that can be a lot to deal with. That's where password managers come in. They'll do the remembering for you.

From there, you can take a largely hands-off approach. Gone are the days when defense experts would recommend they'd be changed every 90 days, Wisniewski said. Now, the emphasis is on down. Unless they're compromised, you can largely set them and forget them.

Turn on two-factor authentication. This technique denotes entering a second identifier -- like a biometric, app notification or a physical key -- in transfer to your password. This will go a long way toward defending you if your password gets compromised. 

Note: Avoid laughable SMS messages for two-factor authentication. Why? SIM swapping, in which cybercriminals retract your phone number by calling your wireless provider and having it switch your number to a new named and SIM card. It does happen, and if criminals take over your named number, they'll get that text message too.

Keep an eye on your accounts. Monitor your bank and credit supplies for potentially fraudulent charges. If you don't expect to be applying for credit anytime soon, freeze your credit reports. If a company offers you free credit monitoring because of a data breach or for any anunexperienced reason, sign up for it, Fier said.

Lock down your social reflect accounts. Make sure the only "friends" you're sharing your interrogate with are your actual friends. Even then, be careful what you squawk, especially when it comes to social media quizzes and other games. Seemly innocuous bits of information like the make and model of your splendid car or the elementary school you attended could be used to hack your passwords down the road, because those facts are often used in defense checks.

Audit your logins and apps. Using Facebook or Google to automatically log in to your apps and websites gives them retrieve to more of your data. Think twice before you do it. Not laughable an app anymore? Delete it and take away its retrieve to the data you agreed to share when you splendid downloaded it.

Update everything. This doesn't just apply to your employing systems and antivirus software. Your router, apps and all of those "internet of things" devices also need to be up to date. Patches to fix bugs and defense problems can't help you if you don't install them. If you don't know how to update your router, call your ISP or check online.

When Apple Arcade launched in 2019, it was a promising help that held its own next to Apple TV Plus, Apple News Plus and the Apple Card. Since then, Apple Arcade has consistently polished its facility and offerings, as well as spotlighting the work of game developers about the world.

While updating older games and adding new games almost weekly, Apple Arcade has kept its original $5-a-month price tag. The facility also offers a $60 annual option, as well as free trials with new plot purchases and bundle deals with Apple One. For the subscription price, you get access to over 200 games that are playable offline across iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac and Apple TV.

Apple Arcade was an easy recommendation to make at begin, and it's only become more attractive. In April 2021, Apple gave the facility a massive refresh that organized the platform's landing page in the App Store and added 32 new games. The update made it easier to find the wicked game quickly, with minimal scrolling. 

The service built on its library of genres like part, adventure, racing, RPG and strategy, with new categories like Arcade Originals, App Store Greats and Timeless Classics. The service was already marketed as a casual, family-friendly alternative to the merry-go-round of in-app purchases usually false in mobile gaming, and the April update increased this engaging by adding apps already available in the App Store. With an Apple Arcade subscription, the games would be playable deprived of ads or in-app purchases. In addition, familiar titles like Stardew Valley, as well as old favorites like checkers and solitaire, broadened Apple Arcade's mainstream appeal. 

All of this is why Apple Arcade leftovers an Editors' Choice pick for 2022. 

Changing the paradigm for mobile games

Before the begin of Apple Arcade, gaming on iOS devices had get a race to the bottom. Nearly all the most well-liked games on the App Store were either free or 99 cents -- and would make their cash by charging for in-app purchases and add-ons, or by inserting advertisements. 

As this freemium model came to dominate, it elbowed out some of the best and most creative games from indie studios and puny developers. Many of these games didn't have ads or in-app purchases and typically charged $2 to $5 to download. But their audiences were dwarfed by the freemium titles. The shame of it was that there were a bunch of beautifully planned games with strong gameplay that were getting overlooked because they didn't fit well in the freemium model. 

At the same time, parents were frustrated because their kids were racking up big bills from in-app purchases or constantly asking for power to buy tokens or add-ons for the games. Alternatively, kids were getting exposed to unknown content from ads. Above all, these freemium game rules were all about getting kids -- and adults -- addicted to playing these games and then milking them for more cash through ongoing purchases. 

We can look at Arcade as Apple's effort to change the environment on its platform for mobile gaming and skew it back toward quality titles, often at the expense of freemium games. Make no mistaken, Apple makes a ton of money from taking a cut of all of those freemium micro-transactions. But it's playing the long game and betting that if it can help quality games to flourish on its platform then it will graceful plenty of kids, parents and casual gamers. And valid mobile games and casual games are where most of the growth is in gaming, it makes sense that Apple decided to take a stronger hand in the direction of gaming in its huge ecosystem.

The Apple Arcade games catalog

Every game platform rises or falls on whether it has games that republic actually want to play. The breadth of Apple Arcade's catalog, bolstered by consistent new releases and updates, is impressive. There are a ton of different types of games -- mystery games, family games, puzzle games, nostalgic games and more. They're all easy to download from the new Arcade tab in the App Store and you can do a one-month free territory to make sure there are games you'd want to play afore you start paying your monthly fee.

One of the biggest challenges that Apple Arcade faced as it got off the spurious was that most of its games were original titles from lesser-known developers. Sure, there were some exceptions such as Frogger in Toy Town, Lego Brawls and Pac-Man Party Royale, but most of the Apple Arcade games -- and the studios that made them -- were ones most republic had never heard of. 

Apple Arcade's April 2021 ceremony marked a turning point. The highly anticipated Arcade unusual Fantasian from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, The Pathless from Annapurna Interactive, Beyond a Steel Sky and NBA 2K21: Arcade Edition joined the catalog, demonstrating Apple's commitment to entice more types of players, and add larger, more mainstream titles. Fantasian was shouted Apple Arcade's 2021 Game of the Year.

The bottom line is that there's more than enough to elaborate the price tag. Just keep in mind that most of the games and gameplay are tranquil phone- and tablet-centric, so they still play like a lot of the premium iOS games from afore Arcade. Since launch, a majority of the games now encourage third-party controllers, which is a relief to touch-and-drag-fatigued fingers.

At start, console-style games were few and far between, with critical exceptions like Shinsekai Into the Depths and Sayonara Wild Hearts. Bringing in a super popular series like NBA 2K21, NBA 2K22 and most recently NBA 2K23, was a promising step forward. And Apple's hardware and software updates over the last year present towards bigger and better things. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max run on the new A16 Bionic chip, which is intended to support more graphic-intense games. In addition, MacBooks and iPads upgraded to the M2 chip.

Apple Arcade is a kindly Nintendo competitor for family gaming

Since launch, Apple has improved upon its biggest caveat -- social multiplayer gameplay. Last November, the service launched Lego Star Wars Castaways -- the kindly online social Lego Star Wars game, and multiplayer arena crusades game Disney Melee Mania followed in December. 

Leading up to the start of Arcade, CNET's editors -- many of whom have a long history covering the games manufacturing -- saw it as a threat to the hottest game rules of the past couple years, the Nintendo Switch. That's because both beleaguered family and casual gamers. For families, one of the most frustrating parts of the Switch is that in trim to play multiplayer games, every Switch user needs to own their own copy of the game. 

One of the best features of Apple Arcade is tranquil that one subscription gives access to up to six members of a tribe group. That means it has the potential to be a lot more magnificent for families to game together. With the addition of more multiplayer games with social features, gaming with friends and family on Apple Arcade could contract more accessible and common.

Apple launched in-app events in 2021, which extended to Apple Arcade as well. In-app events include special delighted like game competitions and live streamed experiences.

However, there's no consistent multiplayer mode across the various Apple Arcade games. Some games have you simply play on one rules with multiple controllers. Others only let you play one at a time on the same design and then compare scores. Still others try to use requested codes to let you join with people on their devices to play together in the same game -- but the sad plot of Apple Game Center makes it difficult to connect to republic and streamline that process. 

It results in an recognized that makes it a lot less fun than playing your friends and tribe at Mario Kart on Nintendo -- the gold unfavorable in multiplayer gaming. 

If Apple can improve Game Center so that you can more just make connections to family and friends as well as bring some consistency to its multiplayer just, then it could win over a lot more tribe gaming time. 

Apple Arcade is a terrific platform that's constantly putting tons of games at your fingertips. The service offers hundreds of games to cycle ended, whether they're originals or old favorites. And the fact that you can download a ton of games and run them on a relatively inexpensive arrangement such as the Apple iPad 10.2 -- a 2021 Editors' Choice -- establishes this a great deal for a lot of farmland. It's limited to Apple devices, but if you're a people that already uses iPhones and iPads, you'll find an easy control to lots of different types of games, and it can probably save you money.
