Columbo “No Time To Die” deviated from the show’s formula in a major way to produce one of it’s most divisive episodes. Actor Bert Freed was the first to play Columbo in anthology series The Chevy Mystery Show, with Peter Falk (The Princess Bride) stepping into his character’s shoes for TV movie Prescription: Murder. Falk’s initial take would differ from the one fans came to know and love, but Columbo quickly became one of the most beloved detectives in TV history once the series launched in 1971....

One of the largest Internet advertising companies yesterday told the Guardian that Apple’s implementation of Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) in Safari would result in a loss of revenue amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. ITP doesn’t block ads, but instead blocks cross-site tracking – a method used by advertisers to serve ads based on your interests by gearing them to the types of website you visit. The ad industry argues that this enables ads to be more relevant to consumers, while Apple argues that it represents an intrusion into the browsing privacy of its customers …...

Android is one of those pillars which have backed almost every modern smartphone right now available for the users. This amazing OS, as everyone knows, was developed by the search engine giant Google and its open-source license has made many developers customize it.

Two rumors have been floating around for a bit now: The first is that this year’s Apple Watch will adopt a glucose monitor, and the second is that the Health app will be gaining food tracking. If both of these are true, they could be transformative together for people with diabetes and those just trying to eat healthier. Glucose or blood sugar monitors are vital tools for people with diabetes. They’re an essentially item for living life....

The Nun - the latest spinoff of Warner Bros. horror franchise The Conjuring - has been pushed back from a July 2018 release to September. Launched in 2013 with director James Wan’s original Conjuring film, the franchise has rapidly established itself as one of the most reliable in horror. Based on the purportedly true case files of married paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, The Conjuring struck a chord with audiences, even many who find the Warrens’ claims preposterous....

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has praised some aspects of the Apple/Google coronavirus contact tracing API, while saying that the companies need to do better in three areas. The ACLU says that any electronic contact tracing needs to respect six principles. The Apple/Google API makes “a strong start” with these, it says, but it has three criticisms … The ACLU’s six principles are: Voluntariness — Whenever possible, a person testing positive must consent to any data sharing by the app....

Crawl brought alligators to the forefront of a slow-burn horror film from Alexandre Aja and Sam Raimi, opening the door for other creature features to succeed and the sub-genre to steer away from films like Sharknado. Equal parts home invasion thriller and disaster movie, the pacing and core of this film was so different than others of its kind. Aja and Raimi have had their finger on the pulse of what scares audiences and keeps them on the edge of their seats for years....

The iPhone 7 was pretty much everything we expected it to be. It has no headphone jack, it has a much-improved camera, and it features a solid state home button. It also comes in two new colors, a matte Black color and a glossy Jet Black color, along with a 32 GB base SKU. So which iPhone am I considering? The decision isn’t as straightforward as I initially thought it might be....

Consumer Reports released a new video today taking on claims of overly-flexible iPhones that have appeared online recently. Apple noted that only a handful of complaints have come in and gave journalists a look at its testing procedures. Regardless of Cupertino’s claims, Consumer Reports kept its promise to conduct testing that was a bit more scientific in nature than previous YouTube videos. To address these claims, several different phones were tested under up to 150 pounds of pressure to see when each model would stop “snapping back” to its original shape....

The reasoning appears to be that Apple Music subscriptions are worth more to Apple than the revenue from the HomePod hardware. And that same reasoning could apply more widely … Macworld’s Jason Snell asks whether Apple’s upcoming television service might also be playable on third-party hardware? To me, that’s a solid argument. In one step, Apple would be bringing its ecosystem—not just the future Apple video service, but iTunes movie and TV rentals and purchases, and possibly other video services resold by Apple—to the most popular TV streaming boxes out there....

Yesterday, I posted a video outlining my thoughts on Apple’s upcoming 6K display. After thinking about it, I’m changing my mind about what I think this display will look like. On second thought, I don’t think it will be a 16×9 display at all, instead I think it will be an ultra-wide display. The reason for my change in thought is owed partly to an insightful message left in the comments of my original post, and partly due to having a day to really marinate on the idea, run figures, and most importantly, ponder over more than just raw numbers....

An all-new trailer for season 5 of Crank Yankers literally assembles a team of prank phone-calling puppets in anticipation of the show’s return. A fixture on the cable comedy channel in the early 2000s, the series featured recorded crank phone calls by comedians to their unwitting victims, with the twist being that the encounters were played out by puppets, for the purpose of giving television watchers something to actually watch (and not being confused with The Jerky Boys)....

In a ‘ground-breaking’ deal, not only does Verizon renew its agreement with Viacom to show their TV content (including Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon) nationally, these channels will also be offered in FiOS’s mobile app for iOS. Early next year, you will be able to watch all of these channels from your iOS device from anywhere — you aren’t restricted to being on the same network as your cable box....

I’m currently working on a handful of headphone reviews over at 9to5Toys, and during my extensive testing with various headphones, I’ve realized more and more that I want Apple over-ear headphones. Here’s why… The magic of the W1 Chip AirPods are by far the headphones I’ve used for the longest period of time, and there’s a good reason for that. I’m not a huge fan of the AirPods sound signature. However, their functionality trumps sound quality....
