With each passing day, life becomes difficult for a lot of people. This is because they fail to keep up the pace against the change and have to face a ton of issues that can be related to their personal, social, or professional life. There is always a need to own a smartphone that helps maintaining a balance in real life. This gadget also helps people in overcoming their problems and that’s the reason why their demand is increasing at a rapid rate....

ComScore has released its latest report today, detailing the market share of the major smartphone OEMs and their platforms. Unsurprisingly, Apple is still leading in terms of handsets shipped with 41.7% of smartphones shipped, while Android is still leading the mobile operating system market with 52.8% of the market. The leaders’ numbers haven’t shifted much, with Apple’s hold on OEM market share only dipping by 0.1% compared to the quarter before, while Android has gained about 0....

Warner Bros. announces a December release date for the awards season contender Richard Jewell. Directed by Clint Eastwood, the drama film explores the life and times of man who was wrongfully accused of plotting the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing. At the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, a pipe bomb explosion killed one person and injured 111 others. Jewell, a security guard, initially reported a backpack containing the bombs, allowing for authorities to clear out the area....

Mac and iOS development team Panic announced today in a company blog post that the next major version of its Coda web development tool would not be coming to the Mac App Store. The reason? App Store apps need to be sandboxed (a security feature in OS X that doesn’t let apps modify data outside of their designated “sandboxes”), and Coda 2.5 simply doesn’t work as a sandboxed app. According to Panic, Apple worked with the developers as much as possible to provide temporary exemptions and workarounds that could help alleviate some of the issues encoutered, but ultimately the decision was made to only release the update through the Panic website....

I wrote yesterday that Apple’s Q4 guidance would give a big clue about iPhone 8 timing, but that it might not be easy to decode. I said that one of the three possible scenarios would give the clearest steer: a guidance range significantly higher than normal for a ‘tock’ year. In that event, it would send a clear message that the iPhone 8 will go on sale in September, with at least enough availability to show up in the financials....

Consistency is something that makes someone perfect in a task. When things are repeated, a person can simply find several ways to keep up the pace against something in different ways. Actually, this is exactly what we call experience and the same defines the limit and true abilities of a person. When it comes to smartphones, a lot of models are available in the market. However, makers that are experienced in manufacturing these gadgets and the ones which can be trusted for consistency are very limited....

Many smartphones are launched with a pro version these days. The manufacturers are paying a ton of attention on the same and they have their own reasons for the same. Some believe the sales can be enhanced in a better and quick way while other smartphone makers believe this helps them in enabling the users to buy a specific gadget when they don’t want to spend the actual cost it is tagged....

What if Apple brought the OLED display function key row that is rumored for upcoming MacBooks to its Apple keyboard too? Completely disregarding what it might require technically to integrate and drive such a display in the keyboard, this concept from Curved imagines bringing that feature to iMac, Mac Pro, Mac mini and other Mac users via a new version of Apple’s wireless keyboard. Several recent reports indicated Apple is working on new MacBook hardware that integrates an OLED touch screen into the keyboard in place of the usual function key row....

We’re expecting iOS 13 to bring some exciting improvements including a system-wide Dark Mode, a whole new way to multitask with detachable panels, and much more. Now, a concept imagines how iPad could benefit by bringing macOS’ Finder to iOS with external drive support, improved multitasking, and more. Product Designer Daniel Korpai shared his vision for how iPad could become more useful with Finder, updated multitasking, and more with an impressive two-minute video....

On Wednesday, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, and Rep Ayanna Pressley joined Senators Ed Markey and Jeff Merkley in calling for DHS to end its use of Clearview AI’s facial recognition technology. “Facial recognition tools pose a serious threat to the public’s civil liberties and privacy rights, and Clearview AI’s product is particularly dangerous. We urge you to immediately stop the Department’s use of facial recognition technology, including Clearview AI’s tools....

The COVID-19 crisis has certainly put social marketer’s flexibility to the test. Faced with a global crisis, social marketers have had to rethink their entire strategies and even scrap whole campaigns that no longer feel relevant. And without a playbook with clear next steps on what to do in a pandemic, social marketers are turning to their peers for guidance in a time where few people have all the answers....

Apple is promoting the importance of coding and app development in its retail stores around the world with a collection of free Today at Apple sessions held from December 1-15. The lineup will include exclusive labs with designers and developers at flagship stores, and a new Coding Lab for Kids based on the Apple TV+ Original Helpsters. Hosted in cooperation with Computer Science Education Week, Code with Apple is a new name for Apple’s annual Hour of Code series at Apple Stores....

Columbo episode “It’s All In The Game” was unique for a few reasons - the most notable being the titular detective letting a killer walk free. While Peter Falk made the character an icon, he wasn’t the first actor to play Columbo. The detective first appeared in anthology series The Chevy Mystery Show where he was played by Bert Freed (The Outer Limits). This version had little in common with the Falk’s take, though they both used misdirection to confuse suspects....

Regular readers will know that my enthusiasm for smart home technology dates back to the days of clunky X10 devices. Though there were standalone systems available, it was obvious even then that it made sense to adopt a common standard, and in the 1980s, X10 was that standard. Fast-forward to a few years ago and what we gained in app support, we lost in standardization. Most manufacturers did their own thing, using their own protocols....

Some people say those who can wait can simply make sure of quality outcomes at all the stages in their life. However, in the present time, those who wait often don’t get results. The fact is time plays a vital role in helping anyone keeping the pace up. The technology in the present time is highly advanced and others can simply utilize it if one wastes a lot of time waiting for something to happen....

In and around us, a lot of things have changed since the smartphones were introduced. They have changed our lifestyles and have helped us to realize and accept many things that are important. The very first thing which we are enjoying with them is staying connected with our closed ones and the entire world all the time. Well, smartphones these days are really good and are helping the users in making their life joyful....

Using a smartphone in today’s word is one of the best experiences. Gone are those years when you can only place phone calls from this gadget. In the present time, there are several tasks that can be performed easily if you own this gadget. Even if its entertainment or performing all the tasks that matter in day-to-day life, a smartphone is a trusted device. Although they are best in every aspect, there are a few things that are considered unfavorable about them....

We’re about six months away from the unveiling of the next version of watchOS. We haven’t heard any rumors yet, so all of these ideas are based purely on conjecture. But at the end of the day, there are lots of ways that watchOS could be improved. From more detailed health data metrics to even more glanceable information, Apple has plenty of opportunities to make watchOS more powerful. At the heart of this concept is a focus on adding new apps and turning existing components of the system into standalone apps....

Episode 2 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 7, “A Distant Echo,” includes a scene that suggests Obi-Wan knew more about Anakin and Padme’s relationship than we thought. The seventh and final season of The Clone Wars is currently airing on Disney+, giving fans the conclusion they were denied when the show was originally canceled. Set between the events of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, The Clone Wars not only fills in the gap between those two movies, it better explains how their events set up the original Star Wars trilogy....

Update: Surprise! The app has been removed from the App Store. Yet another iOS app developer has managed to sneak an app to unlock iPhone Internet Tethering into the App Store. This time, the app is not a flashlight, but a colorful drawing app called “Little Artist Canvas“. The tethering setup process is similar (and just as tedious as past solutions), but as AppAdvice notes, the $0.99 app could be worth it for those who want to circumvent paying official Internet Tethering carrier fees....
