Spotify’s ambitions from expanding from primarily a music platform to leveraging podcast and audiobooks are well known. Music royalties are expensive, so it makes sense for Spotify to focus on getting listeners to spend more time listening to content that isn’t as costly to the company. As Spotify seeks to become a destination for all audio content, I spent time using it as my primary podcast player to see how it stacks up compared to apps like Overcast, Pocket Casts, Castro, and Player FM....

There are smartphone makers who always take care of their fans. In fact, this is the reason why a few of them are successful and it took them only half a decade to build them a solid reputation in various international smartphone markets. Infinix is one of them. They are known to enable everyone to own a prestigious smartphone. This is because their gadgets come with a reasonable price tag. Still, they can be trusted for the long run when it comes to quality....

Smartphones have changed the lives of almost everyone. The fact couldn’t be denied that these gadgets have a great impact on everything associated with our life. This is one of the biggest reasons people are buying it everywhere and without worrying about the cost and other factors that influence them. Realme is one of the pioneer smartphone makers that have come up with some of the amazing smartphones under budget segment....

Look, everyone knows this thing is the best desktop computer money can buy. But that doens’t mean we get sick of hearing about it. Ken Mingis at Computerworld got his review in today and had some very interesting observations: It’s important to note that the 27-in. model is $100 less than the $1,799 24-in. iMac that preceded it…or the $1799 30-inch Cinema Display that only has 10% more pixels. It is so good, it could bring back the desktop [nah!...

The latest report from comScore shows Apple continuing to shine as the top smartphone manufacturer in the United States owning 40.7% of smartphone subscribers at the end of the August quarter. This marks a 1.5 point jump from the three months leading up to the end of the May quarter when Apple owned 39.2% of the same space. It’s worth noting this increase took place during the months without an announcement of new hardware as the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c were both announced and made available during September, although discounted hardware with third-party retailers could have been a factor closer to August....

Conan usually has some pretty good comedy after new Apple products and events, and the iPhone X is no different. The late night host this evening debuted a brief segment featuring a question and answer session with a fake Craig Federighi (see: hair). In the past, Conan has poked fun at Apple’s AirPods, the iPhone 6 bendgate, and more. This one continues the comedy with a crowd asking a slew of different “questions” about Face ID, including whether it works on dead people’s heads, sleeping people, and more....

It Has a Great Dual Performance From J.K. Simmons Dual roles are a tricky thing. In even the most talented hands, it’s difficult to turn them into something more than a visual gimmick. There’ve been some notable ones on TV recently, like Ewan McGregror’s Golden Globe-winning performance in Fargo and James Franco’s sleazy twofer in HBO’s The Deuce. But both actors were playing siblings; two people with distinctly different personalities who just happened to look exactly like one another....

Having an app that can clone hard drives can come in handy quite often. Especially if you’re like me, and add new components to your Desktop PC. Just recently, I got a brand new HDD, which will be replacing my old external one. The question was how can I copy all of my data without losing generated thumbnails, hidden files and other valuable data? Turns out it’s actually just a few clicks away with Macrium Reflect — and it’s totally free....

Community had a pretty wild run on television. The comedy about an unlikely group of friends at a community college avoided numerous cancellations, survived behind the scenes drama, and continued after a network change. It was kept alive through all of this because of the show’s loyal fans. But even those fans might have a hard time looking back on some of the more dated jokes. Community embraced a weird and often dark sense of humor which would sometimes lead them into uncomfortable territory....

It is common for web developers to include some type of component to help figure out what type of browser and version of the browser is being used by the visitor while accessing your website. In some cases, you may simply want to target Internet Explorer (IE) browsers or specific versions of IE browsers. You can accomplish this using different techniques, but implementing Conditional Comments is an easy way to detect IE versions 5-9....

Yesterday there were a few claims going around that Apple’s recent change to Gatekeeper app signing for developers was the result of a Dev Center security breach. TUAW reported yesterday on a few random tweets and others picked up the story. As you’d probably expect, we have some good news: It’s not true… We’ve now confirmed with sources close to the situation that there is no truth to the rumors and that a Dev Center breach was not the reason behind the Gatekeeper app signing changes....

If there’s one thing that approaches the Internet’s collective fear of spiders, it’s the Internet’s collective fear of clowns. Seemingly sparked primarily by Tim Curry’s iconic performance as Pennywise in the 1990 miniseries adaptation of Stephen King’s IT, evil clown memes dot the online landscape, supplying countless instances of nightmare fuel for the unsuspecting people who encounter them. While the aforementioned Pennywise has rarely been seriously challenged for the title of the horror genre’s most terrifyingly malevolent clown, Dimension Films and producer Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, The Green Inferno) are currently preparing to unleash a new challenger for that distinction into theaters, in the form of the film simply titled: Clown....

The collision domain applies to wireless networks. However, it also affects earlier versions of Ethernet. A collision happens when two separate devices simultaneously send a packet on the commonly shared network segment. The packets collide, and both devices require sending the packets again. That helps you to reduce network efficiency. This Domain contains all devices which can reach each other at the data link layer with the help of broadcast....

Huawei launched its latest flagship smartphone, Honor V10 in China on Tuesday. The phone comes with all the latest trend features and hardware specs such as an almost-bezeless display, face recognition feature like iPhone X and a screen with 18:9 ratio. Even though a new smartphone may have some problems. So in this guide, we will help you to troubleshoot some of the problems on Huawei Honor V10. Here are the Common Honor View 10 Problems and How to Fix it....

We all wish for the best to happen with us every time. Wishes are fulfilled only when we pay special attention to them and without any negligence. The fact is not all the wishes get fulfilled in life. However, there are some of them that can accompany the others. In other words, one wish can fulfill many others. Finding that one wish that can full others is not at all a big deal....

While Community never got its six seasons and a movie, it did enjoy a loyal following during its time on-air. Much of that is thanks to its colorful cast of characters: Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), Britta Perry (Gillian Jacobs), Annie Edison (Alison Brie), Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi), Shirley Bennett (Yvette Nicole Brown), and Troy Barnes (Donald Glover). Most infamous of all, however, was Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase). The heir to the Hawthorne Wipes throne is a spoiled boomer with a warped sense of morality, often spewing racist sentiments or trying to split the group up....

Italy was one of the first countries to adopt the joint Apple/Google API for its coronavirus contact tracing app, and early signs are that this is helping reassure people. Immuni contact tracing app downloads hit more than 25% of those given access in the first ten days. It had initially been feared that privacy concerns in Italy would limit adoption … Italy has chosen to make the Immuni app available initially in four regions, with a combined population of 8M people – ahead of a rollout to all 60M residents later in the month....

Americans are divided on whether they would be willing to use coronavirus contact tracing apps powered by the joint Apple/Google API. A Washington Post/University of Maryland poll found an exact 50/50 split between those who would use it and those who wouldn’t. That’s already less than ideal, but there were three further worrying aspects … First, the results combine ‘definitely’ and ‘probably’ responses. It is common in research to assume fewer people will do something than say they will do something, so saying you will ‘probably’ do something is considered a weak indicator....

Following Ebro Darden announcing his expanded role as Apple Music’s global head of hip-hop earlier this month, Apple has made another notable move. Popular UK DJ Charlie Sloth announced today that he is joining Beats 1 and bringing his “The Charlie Sloth Rap Show” with him. This move was first rumored last October. Sloth departed BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra in November after a 10-year stint at the station, but not without controversy....
