Reviews Editor
Barbara Krasnoff is currently Reviews Editor for The Verge, and has been working as an editor and writer at tech publications for longer than she cares to admit.
She came to The Verge from a stint as a freelancer; before that, she was Senior Reviews Editor for Computerworld. When she is not writing and editing how-tos, or asking staff members what's on their desks, she writes (and occasionally publishes) science fiction and fantasy short stories.

The IRS has begun opening up its new free online tax filing service to the public for limited windows of time, and apparently this is one. Direct File became available to new users today at 9 a.m. ET and was still available when last we checked. Keep in mind that there are a number of criteria you have to meet — you have to live in one of 12 states, and only report certain types of income — but if you do qualify, it’s worth a try.

Hey Google, I was using that button!
Sometimes I get really tired of Android features that I like being precipitously changed or dumped.
