by Guest Zach Epstein- 0 replies
- 26 views
Sure, Apple may have held back a handful of top-secret iOS 11 features during its big WWDC 2017 keynote on Monday. After all, the company can't include anything obvious in its early iOS 11 builds that might pull back the curtain prematurely on iPhone 8 details. But we can't even think about the iPhone 8 right now because Apple just unleashed a truckload of hot new iOS 11 features. Whether or not you were following along live as Apple unveiled iOS 11 during its big WWDC 2017 keynote, you're obviously going to want a recap of all the biggest new iOS 11 features coming to the iPhone and iPad. In this post, you'll find everything you need to know about the most exciting ne…

Apple isn’t letting Google get away with leaving devices behind. Last month was I/O 2017 for Google. Today starts WWDC 2017 for Apple. Both companies use their respective week-long events as a way to showcase new products and services that developers can take advantage of.

It’s been a couple years of missteps for the Taiwanese company, and HTC plans on turning things around by fostering a brigade of trolls. When the U11 was introduced last month, many expressed cautious optimism. And people still do three weeks later. We’ve been down this road before with the same company.

Rumor claims Apple’s MacBook Air line is dead
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies

With typical theatrical flair, Steve Jobs in January of 2008 introduced the world to the MacBook Air, an incredibly compact laptop that, at the time, was touted as the thinnest laptop on the market. Apple's MacBook Air line has evolved considerably over the past few years, but we're now hearing word that the Air's place in Apple's notebook lineup may soon be coming to an unceremonious end. As part of the engrossing Reddit AMA we highlighted yesterday, a purported Foxconn insider with detailed plans of upcoming Apple products relayed that Apple's MacBook Air line is effectively dead.

The iPhone 7 Plus, Google Pixel, Sony XZ Premium and Galaxy S8 have all claimed to have the world's best smartphone camera at some point in time. So it's a little difficult to work out who to believe, especially when HTC shows up with yet another world-beating camera. Sounds like a good time for an old-fashioned shootout. Continue reading...

New leak sheds light on Apple’s secretive ‘smart glasses’ project
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies
- 24 views
Over the weekend, a Reddit user with the handle Foxconninsider released a treasure trove of information regarding a number of new products Apple has in the pipeline. While most of the Reddit AMA seemed to focus on upcoming iPhones and an assortment of Mac hardware, there was also some interesting information divulged regarding Apple's rumored smart glasses. The notion that Apple has been exploring smart glasses with augmented reality features is certainly nothing new. On the contrary, in recent months we've seen a handful of reports from exceedingly credible sources indicating that Apple's smart glasses initiative is very much real. Not too long ago, for example, the F…

No one will ever find this hidden spy cam
by Guest Maren Estrada- 0 replies
- 20 views
Look, we are not in any way suggesting that you should do anything illegal or unethical with a hidden security camera. That said, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to install spy cameras on your own property. If you've been on the lookout for a hidden security camera that no one will ever find, definitely check out the FREDI HD 1080P Wifi Hidden Camera Alarm Clock on Amazon. It looks like any old alarm clock, but it packs a hidden camera that can snap a still photo and send it to your phone whenever it detects motion. You can also use the free companion app for iPhone or Android to stream live video in 1080p right to your phone. Here are some key details from the …

In absolutely fascinating thread, a Foxconn insider took to the Apple subreddit earlier today and dished out a treasure trove of information regarding upcoming product launches and refreshes. And while skeptics might reasonably point out that anyone can proclaim to be an 'insider', this particular user verified his identity with moderators after supplying requisite evidence and supporting documentation. The entire thread is enthralling and provides us with a rare sneak peek at Apple's relatively secretive supply chain. The thread is currently live and will continue to be updated until tomorrow morning. In the meantime, we've pored over hundreds of comments to glean som…

Why Apple’s ‘Messages’ app won’t be coming to Android, now or ever
by Guest Yoni Heisler- 0 replies

With WWDC right around the corner, we're just a few days away from Apple announcing a slew of compelling software and hardware updates. On the software front, Apple has done a solid job of keeping leaks to a minimum. Indeed, the number of WWDC rumors we've seen floating around this year is astoundingly small, especially in contrast to previous WWDC events when seemingly every new major hardware and software announcement was leaked ahead of time. Interestingly enough, there's one fascinating rumor that emerged last year only to have since fallen off the radar completely. This past October, John Gruber dropped an interesting nugget of information on our heads, claiming t…

by Guest Andy Meek- 0 replies

Too many drivers get distracted too often behind the wheel, from stealing a quick glance at a text message to taking a phone call and a host of other seemingly innocuous activities. Enter Palo Alto-based transportation technology company Nauto, which has rolled out its solution to address that problem. It’s the company’s software-hardware package that includes cameras and a system that uses visual context and artificial intelligence to monitor drivers and detect whether they’re engaging in distracted behavior.

Game devs challenged hackers to beat DRM, and you can probably guess what happened
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 28 views
The question of whether or not to add a layer of digital rights management (DRM) to online games is something that many independent developers struggle with. Does adding that extra layer of protection cause a rift between the developers and their customers? Will it be cracked, and if so, why bother in the first place? The developers of the adventure story game Rime decided on a solution that lands somewhere in the middle. They released the game with anti-tampering features included, but promised to update the game to a DRM-free version if hackers were able to bypass it. Can you guess what happened next?

AT&T is basically giving away cable TV to wireless customers
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 26 views
Late last year, AT&T launched DirecTV Now, a $35 streaming alternative to regular cable TV. In many ways, it's a standard cable TV package, but you watch it on a phone or a Chromecast, rather than a cable TV box. Even though $35 is less than most cheap cable packages, it's still a whole bunch more money than avocado-eating millennials are used to spending on their Netflix subscription. Signups for the service clearly haven't been as high as AT&T would like, as it's been pushing promotions like free Apple TVs and a year of complimentary HBO ever since launch. Starting today there's a new promotion for AT&T's wireless customers, and it's pretty hard to beat. …

The Weather Channel is viciously trolling Donald Trump on climate change
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies

When it comes to weigh in on climate change, the absolutely overwhelming number of scientific bodies that have declared it a very real, and very urgent issue should be enough to convince literally everybody that it's time to act. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, is not included in "literally everybody," and yesterday he announced that he was pulling the country out of the Paris Agreement meant to unify developed nations on the goal of keeping the Earth alive. The Weather Channel is not taking that news very well. Continue reading... Trending right now: Leak says the Nokia 9 might have a chance of competing with the Galaxy S8 The Galaxy Note 8 m…

After spending a few hours with ARMS during the first weekend of the Global Testpunch, I'm all in on Nintendo's newest IP. While ARMS isn't nearly as complex as some of the most popular fighting games (Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat), it's a unique take on the genre and incredibly easy to learn. If you own a Switch and didn't get a chance to play last weekend, the Global Testpunch will continue this weekend.
