Apple’s latest Conflict Minerals Report reveals that it removed five mineral smelters and refiners for failing to meet the company’s human rights standards. The company said that all of the remaining 253 companies in its supply chain passed its third-party audit process, which aims to ensure that there is no financial benefit to those engaged in armed conflict. The statements are made in Apple’s latest Conflict Minerals Report, filed with the SEC....

Another rumor suggests Sony’s Silver & Black will launch an all-female team in their Spider-less universe, but is that what is best? Before the days of Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and long before the company was a part of the Disney machine, Marvel sold the theatrical rights to various comic characters. These deals led to 20th Century Fox holding onto the X-Men and Fantastic Four or Universal getting Hulk....

The crypto exchange company said in a blog post that a new section in its app and website would help customers report capital gains or losses from cryptocurrency exchanges they made last year to the IRS. A personalized summary of taxable activity can then be taken to an accountant or used with tax software. “Customers will see all of their taxable activity in one place to determine if they owe taxes, and how much....

Ah, the middle of December without a single update on AirPower from Apple in sight. That can only mean one thing: we’re just days away from some sort of big announcement about the fate of Apple’s magical wireless charging mat. Unless AirPower ships this month, I see three possibilities: A) Apple says it needs a little more time: AirPower then ships between January and March 2019. B) Apple says AirPower is coming sometime in 2019: Apple still believes it can ship AirPower, but it isn’t confident enough to suggest Q1 by downplaying the delay....

Consumer Reports said yesterday that the 2016 MacBook Pro was the first ever Apple laptop that the organization couldn’t recommend, due to battery-life issues. That in itself didn’t strike me as too odd. Different users have definitely been reporting very variable results in times of battery life, and some of them have been well below half the ten hours that Apple claims. Our video rundown showed as much and our poll found that the largest group of readers was reporting five hours or less....

This indicates that if attention is paid on these two, it is possible to eliminate common problems upto a good extent....

Today I want show you a different approach to cracking a password. We will focus on how to crack a Wi-Fi WPA2 password. First of all, it’s important to define this. WPA2 is the most secure protocol that currently exists, as long as it is well-configured with the latest encryption techniques. Nevertheless, I say that WPA2 is the most secure – not that it isn’t hackable. Thanks to the MiTM attack, it is possible to extract an encrypted password....

Disney’s chances of completing the 20th Century Fox merger have just gone up as Comcast is unlikely to submit another bid, instead focusing their attention on acquiring Sky. The last several months have seen the beginning of a massive shakeup for Hollywood. When 21st Century Fox’s TV and film assets became available to buy, Disney and Comcast were the top two suitors. Disney struck a deal at the end of 2017 and has been moving forward ever since, all while Comcast continued to try and get the deal instead....

I wasn’t alone in expressing disappointment when Apple discontinued the Apple Thunderbolt Display without announcing a replacement. The company did later announce that it does now have some display plans in the works – but possibly only a very high-end one designed specifically for use with a much more powerful (and modular) Mac Pro. We’re hoping that it will be offering something more mainstream as well. I wasn’t impressed by the LG 5K UltraFine Apple was pushing as its official recommendation, and haven’t yet seen anything else that grabs me....

AirPods Pro have earned widespread praise since their release last month thanks to sound quality improvements, noise cancellation, and more. Consumer Reports is now out with its full review of AirPods Pro, and those improvements seemingly aren’t enough to take the top-rated crown from Samsung.

Update: Some saying they’ve received multiple Fox News alerts as well. CNN is blaming Apple for a bug that seemingly caused Apple News users to receive multiples of the same push notification for a CNN story. The story in question is a CNN report about the firing of the worker who triggered the false ballistic missile alert in Hawaii earlier this month. Apple News users with CNN as a source received the push notification for the story in inordinate amount of times for no apparent reason....

Some spy shots of upcoming Apple Watch bands by designer brand Coach leaked last month, but now the accessories are about to get official as Coach lists the products on its website. The source of the original leak shared a URL to a not yet public listing on Coach’s site today, and we discovered product pages for several other models being prepared. The pages aren’t yet searchable on the site, and most don’t have images, but it looks like Coach is preparing for an upcoming launch ahead of Apple’s WWDC event later this month....
