Today, third-party Apple hardware maker OWC announced the acquisition of LumaForge, best known for its Jellyfish lineup of shared storage solutions primarily aimed at video content houses. Notably, LumaForge will continue as a company, with team intact, as it seeks to further expand its hardware and software solutions. Although the name Jellyfish may not be as familiar to the mainstream, LumaForge’s video editing servers are well-known among professional video clients, including Disney, Sony, Adobe, and even NASA....

Update: Apple subsequently fixed the issue. I’m unsure exactly which update did so, but everything is fine again in macOS 10.12.4. One thing to note if you have more than one Mac: when you switch on iCloud drive, all of the files and folders that were on your desktop will be moved to a Desktop folder inside iCloud Drive – see Apple’s support document on this. Documents from your other Mac(s) will be found inside a folder with the same name as the Mac....

Over the past month, I spent several weeks testing the battery of an Apple watch. Not the Apple Watch, of course, but the first product Apple released with the option of being worn like one: the sixth-generation iPod nano. Back in 2010, Steve Jobs mentioned during the “instantly wearable” nano’s introduction (video at 26:30) that one of Apple’s directors planned to use it as a watch. That brief aside directly inspired the creation of nano watchband makers Lunatik and Hex, as well as simple, cheap bands from Apple accessory specialists including Griffin, Incipio, and SwitchEasy....

I love AirPlay. It’s simple and elegant. It also means that my elderly but much-loved B&O Ouverture hifi system (with BeoLab 6000 speakers) – which is actually so old that it has a cassette deck – needed only a low-cost WiFi audio receiver to allow it to wirelessly stream music from my MacBook Pro. One $40 add-on and a 20-year-old hifi became bang up to date in its capabilities. With my particular setup, AirPlay does exactly what we expect of Apple products: It Just Works....

While the new fourth-generation Apple TV advances Apple’s entertainment box in many areas including universal search, Siri input and a whole App Store for the first time, much of week one with Apple TV 4 has been about what you lose when moving from Apple TV 2 or 3. The list is uncomfortably packed for a device that had three years to advance since its predecessor hit the market: missing Bluetooth keyboard and iPhone/iPad Remote app support for easier text input, Apple Watch’s built-in Remote app doesn’t recognize it yet, the Podcasts app hasn’t moved over, and the Photos app is exactly the same (no iCloud Photo Library) despite the newer iCloud Music Library feature making the cut for Apple Music....

The OPPO F11 Pro is a budget mid-range smartphone by the Chinese OEM OPPO. It offers a FullView notch-less display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and more than 84% screen-to-body ratio as well. Though the handset packs an LTPS IPS LCD Full-HD display, the device looks quite premium and delivers great viewing quality. In this guide, we will show you the real image of the ISP pinout and test point for the Oppo F11 Pro CPH1969....

Parks & Rec is one of America’s most beloved shows, and while we’re sad that it’s over, we can’t help but look back on all of the predictions made in the show that came to fruition. The seventh and final season took place during 2017, but it aired in 2015, which means that much of it called for speculation about the future, from entertainment to technology. While some of the predictions were downright goofy, others were pretty spot-on, leaving us to wonder if Professor Smartbrain Ben and his accounting friends somehow got a hold of a time machine....

A spring iPad event this year has so far been taken almost as established fact. Apple has held one annually in recent years, and we’ve heard multiple reports about what to expect this year – one of them even suggesting a specific date. The flagship product expected to be announced at the event was a new 10.5-inch iPad with a micro-bezel design that would allow it to have the same external dimensions as the current 9....

The 12-inch MacBook is the ultimate portable Mac, but that single USB-C port feels a lot less convenient when you want to connect to a bunch of devices at home or in the office. We covered a $79 portable hub yesterday, and now OWC has announced its $129 desktop model, available for pre-order today for delivery in October. Available in silver, space gray and gold, to match your MacBook, the OWC USB-C Dock provides a total of 10 ports in a unit designed to remain on your desk, allowing you to instantly connect and disconnect via a single USB-C cable … Unlike the Hub+, the OWC dock provides Gigabit Ethernet and audio in/out, as well as built-in HDMI, supporting 4K displays....

Path of Exile is an online-only action RPG title developed and produced by Grinding Gear Games. The first title was a massive hit among gamers, and now everyone who liked the first title is expecting the second one. The arrival of the second title was announced at the publisher’s annual ExileCon in 2019. So if you are someone who is looking for some information about the second title, you have come to the right place....

There were a few face-palm moments in yesterday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, from committee members who appeared not to know what encryption is to Apple’s lead lawyer Bruce Sewell having to make a hasty switch from his iPad Pro to paper when the device apparently failed. (Some suggested it may simply have timed-out and auto-locked, but it’s unclear why he wouldn’t use Touch ID to let himself back in.) Overall, though, it was a serious discussion of the issue, with each side making its points in a calm, rational manner and being subjected to many probing and intelligent questions....

Tech journalists don’t often have to battle our way across hostile terrain in sub-zero temperatures, fight crocodiles with our bare hands, or abseil from helicopters to rescue hostages (though that remains my cover story for the time I broke my elbow by tripping up in an airport). We do, however, occasionally do something almost as dangerous: make predictions about the tech future, knowing full well that our words remain forever archived on the web for people to dust off a year from now and gleefully point out just how wrong we were....

The first ever PaaS known as Zimki was created by a company called Fotango in 2005. Some popular PaaS providers are AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure, Heroku, and Engine Yard. How does PaaS Works? PaaS does not replace a company’s IT infrastructure fully. In fact, in PaaS service model, you only need to manage the applications you developed, and the PaaS provider manages everything else. The cloud platform provided by the PaaS provider can be used for development, testing, and deployment of the applications....

Engadget breaks down Palm’s buyout by HP as detailed in its SEC statement on the matter with some very interesting little tidbits. It breaks down like this: In February, Palm realized it needed outside help. Options included a buyout or selloff of assets (patents) or licensing of WebOS 16 companies were targeted and contacted about a buyout or other options. In March, Palm decided that a full buyout was the best option HP and two others wanted to buy the company....

Apple has now implemented a controversial change to the way it handles cash ‘tips’ sent to content providers through social media apps in China. It is treating them as in-app purchases, and taking a 30% cut. Apple’s point of view makes perfect sense in the USA. It argues that a donation from a user to a content creator is no different to an in-app purchase. Indeed, in the original news piece, many commenters took issue with the use of the word ‘donation,’ saying that this is suggestive of a contribution to a charitable cause rather than to an individual....

From Seeing Through the Illusion: Understanding Apple’s Mastery of the Media, a profile examining Apple’s PR strategy: Unlike Microsoft, Samsung, Adobe, cellular carriers, or Wal-Mart-sized corporations, Apple handles its PR and Communications strategies wholly in-house, mirroring its control over its hardware and software strategies. While Apple still works with external agency Media Arts Lab of TBWA on print, digital, and TV marketing efforts, it is actively reducing its reliance on that firm by boosting its in-house marketing resources....
