Following the release of Spectre, the most recent James Bond film, it appeared that actor Daniel Craig was ready to leave the role, saying he’d rather “slit his wrists” than make another. The actor’s statement generated a lot of press and even more speculation over who would (or should) take over the role he had apparently vacated. Recently, however, a new report suggests that Craig may be on his way to coming back, thanks to producer Barbara Broccoli....
There appears to be some prolonged issues with Apple’s CloudKit service today, which Apple offers to developers as a way to store user data and sync across devices. Several developers have reported to us that they have seen data for their apps temporarily wiped in the last 24 hours as the CloudKit service experiences some form of outage. The developer system status page is reporting an issue with the CloudKit Dashboard, the backend admin interface that developers use to manage their CloudKit containers....
Following their work on the critically acclaimed musical-comedy Hail, Caesar! from early last year, the Coen brothers are currently hard at work on the forthcoming Western TV series The Ballad of Buster Scruggs - and word has it that filming will begin next month. After spending several decades honing their chops as premiere filmmakers of a slightly satiric bend with such major motion pictures as Fargo and No Country for Old Men, Joel and Ethan Coen are two of the most well known writer/director duos of the late 20th and 21st centuries....
Richard Stanley’s Color Out of Space has quickly become one of 2020’s most exciting horror films and it’s one of the better theatrical adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft’s works. H.P. Lovecraft is a master of surreal and cosmic horror, but his stories are quite often difficult to adapt in a live-action sense. Not only is he an author that can leave plenty up to the imagination, but he also deals with fantastical entities that are often designed to defy convention and break the mind....
After making a new, higher offer to acquire Fox’s assets earlier today, Comcast is now taking their case to the company’s shareholders directly. It’s been widely known for months that prior to the announcement of Disney reaching a deal to buy most of Fox back in December, Comcast - cable giant and owner of NBC Universal - had made its own attempts to negotiate a purchase of the same nature. Yet, Disney ended up emerging victorious, despite Comcast making a higher value bid at the time....
This morning’s report that Apple is working on an iPhone with a curved display sounds like it will be a rather modest change from the iPhone X. That seems to be referencing a rather subtle curve that may, like the very slight curve at the bottom of the iPhone X, be almost indistinguishable from a flat screen. Technically, of course, the iPhone X display is fully curved, as it folds back underneath itself to make possible the near-bezel-free design …...
Apple’s HomePod has faced two consistent criticisms right from the start. Hearing both criticisms repeated recently, I couldn’t let it pass… There is truth to the first claim, especially when you compare Siri to Alexa. However, as I discovered when trying the Echo Dot, there is a very large rider to that statement. Alexa is not inherently smarter; instead, it allows third-party developers to add “skills” to the platform. I noted then the two big drawbacks of this approach....
When it comes to purchasing a new smartphone, people usually explore reasons to invest their money. However, some phones are amazing and they can be purchased without looking for anything than the brand itself. Although the international smartphone market has been grabbed by some key players in the present time, Nokia is still a popular brand. It still has a wide recognition and trust of millions of smartphone lovers. It is true that Nokia has once again expanded their base and has satisfied a large number of people in different parts of the world....
The craze of smartphones has risen beyond every limit presently. People all over the world are going crazy about these gadgets and many of them are getting their expectations filled because makers are coming with user-friendly gadgets in every way. Well, the world’s first smartphone with an invisible selfie camera is with us and ZTE has launched it officially putting a halt of rumors that were indicating Xiaomi or Samsung will launch the same first....
Sitting down to watch the last episode of a beloved TV show can be more than a little bit nerve-racking. If it’s a mystery or horror show, will everything be wrapped up properly or will fans still have frustrating questions? If it’s a sitcom, will the characters live happily ever after? If it’s a teen drama or even a drama featuring older characters, will everyone end up where they should?...
The challenges and benefits of a cellular Apple Watch is something I’ve considered throughout different pieces before, but I haven’t always been sure one actually needs to exist yet. I’ve continued thinking about this possibility, however, and now a cellular option is at the top of my wish list for the Apple Watch Series 3. A cellular option could solve specific problems that the faster, GPS-equipped Apple Watch Series 2 hasn’t resolved....
With Apple widely expected to embed a fingerprint reader into the display of the iPhone 8, the company has patented a number of different technologies it could use to accomplish this. One approach would limit fingerprint recognition to the bottom section of the display, meaning that authenticating a fingerprint would have to be a deliberate step, as it is with today’s Touch ID sensor. But a patented granted today would allow a fingerprint to be recognized anywhere on the screen, with Apple specifically arguing that authentication could then be completely automatic …...
A KGI note over the weekend suggested that Apple is planning to release new ‘high-end over-ear headphones‘ – though not until late fall at the earliest. Without my experience of the HomePod, I’d have merely shrugged at the report. Apple hasn’t exactly made a name for itself for headphone quality, either through its own-brand EarPods and AirPods, or through the Beats-branded products it has promoted since buying the company …...
As we are just a couple of weeks until Apple unveils the iPhone 13, it’s only natural that people’s interest in this matter grows. Over the past few days, some are saying the next iPhone will be port-less “because Apple wants you to buy more accessories.” Although it may be true in the future, the iPhone 13 won’t be portless and users will still find the good old Lightning port there, here’s why....
As regular readers will know, I’m a long-time fan of Siri. It’s my default way to interact with my iPhone: from checking the weather forecast through opening apps to dictating text messages. It was the sole reason I upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the 4S back in the day. At the same time, I’ve also long wanted Siri to do more. Last month, Apple finally granted the request I made last year: to give her access to third-party apps....
A smartphone is something which is slowly becoming a part of life for us all. There would hardly be any situation currently when a Smartphone is not actually required. In fact, a phone is as important as their heart to humans. This is very much true and a very large number of people have started investing on the smartphones that can help them in making their life superior. Well, if you are one among them, probably there is a full bouquet of options available for you simply....
Netflix’s new documentary series Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes features never-before-released interviews with the notorious American serial killer - but will there be further episodes of the show? The streaming service previously made its mark on the landscape of true crime television with Making A Murderer, an in-depth look at the conviction of Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. Making A Murderer season 1 was the result of ten years’ worth of filming, and last year Netflix released a second season to follow up on the case....

Netflix has picked up a new comedy called Cocaine Hippos with actor/comedian Jermaine Fowler set to star. Fowler is known for the hilarious CBS series Superior Donuts and was recently cast in Coming 2 America, the highly anticipated sequel to Eddie Murphy’s 1988 film. The Hollywood Reporter says the story follows a group of friends who embark on a quest to discover Pablo Escobar’s lost treasure. On their journey, the friends encounter “con men, local drug lords and the deadly hippos” smuggled into Colombia by the drug lord in the ’80s....
While rumors expect a new MacBook Pro for later this year, a leaker now says we can also expect a new MacBook Air that will launch in the first half of 2022 in different colors. This comes after Bloomberg previously reported on Apple’s plans to introduce its M1 successor with an updated MacBook Air. In a tweet posted this week, DylanDkt says that the next MacBook Air will feature an M2 processor, as the M1X will be reserved for the Pro Mac devices....
