The big question mark over Apple Music has been how many customers would choose to try it out, and – crucially – how many of them would be willing to pay for the service once the free trial ended. Tim Cook answered both questions yesterday, revealing that the service currently has 15M subscribers, of whom 6.5M are paying customers. There are still plenty of unknowns, of course. We don’t know the exact split between individual and family subscriptions (though family subs were around 18% back in August), and we don’t know how subscribers map out across the countries – both of which we’d need to know to accurately calculate how much Apple is earning from the service....

Retailing at only $99, the Ouya has been a success at retail so far. However, it’s not nearly as powerful of a machine as Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox One and Sony’s next-gen PlayStation 4. However, according to website CNET, the system’s architecture makes it possible to easily port games to Ouya from mobile devices. However, despite being a console, the games will look like those on mobile. That’s the price of low-cost console gaming....

Who wouldn’t want to dress Jamie Fraser, hunky Sam Heughan’s counterpart on the popular TV series Outlander? He is good looking and muscular and takes well to well-designed outfits. Viewers might have been too besotted with the actor to even notice his outfits, however, there are many things about them which remain unnoticed and unconsidered. For example, the story behind the tartans and kilts, and the Scottish traditions considered in their construction....

In October 2018, Netflix renewed Ozark for a third season. The excellent crime drama has carved out a niche for itself on the streaming platform, with many observers believing it’s arguably the best crime drama to hit TV since Breaking Bad.

Parks & Recreation’s original title was simple but probably wouldn’t have caught your attention at all – and, surprisingly, that’s not the reason why it was changed. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, the political satire sitcom Parks & Recreation debuted on NBC in 2009, and even though the first season wasn’t the best, it continued its course for six more seasons, ending in 2015. The series followed the lives (both in and outside the office) of Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and her friends and co-workers from the Parks Department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana....

While there are plenty of augmented reality apps that highlight nearby points of interest overlaid over live video feed, this feature is still non-existent in iOS Maps app. But a number of mapping-related patents and quiet acquisitions of startups focused on mapping tech indicate that Apple has been quietly working on taking the mapping experience on iOS devices to the next level.

My colleague Bradley Chambers recently wrote that his single biggest disappointment with WWDC was that Apple made no move to announce an upgrade to the 5GB free iCloud tier. One of our readers, Sahil Malik, made a wry comment on the $6,699 maximum cost of the new MacBook Pro: As his comment implies, the 5GB free tier is now nothing less than an embarrassment … An embarrassment because, as Bradley wrote, it looks hopelessly out of touch with today’s world....

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: passwords are a horribly outdated and clunky approach to security, and it’s time to consign them to history. That view has been underlined by the Federal Trade Commission’s chief technologist Lorrie Cranor, who this week told a security conference that official government advice to change passwords regularly can actually make things worse. Her argument is based on something I’ve not only seen myself, but done myself – when I worked for a large company which required monthly password changes....
