Buzzfeed got its mitts (don’t ask, just look) on more of those “original iPad” pictures discovered today. These are actually compared to a modern day iPad in size. And, oh my— the original prototype iPads are big. They look equivalent to a 13-inch MacBook display or thereabouts. Moreover, they look almost an inch thick. Is it just me…or does the idea of a (albeit thinner) 13-inch iPad suddenly sound tantalizing?...

Orlando Jones’ exit from American Gods season 3 is the death knell for the once-proud flagship show of Starz. While there are conflicting accounts as to why Jones will no longer be a part of the series’ cast or production team, it cannot be denied that his departure has further wounded a show that was already bleeding out after two troubled seasons. Jones announced that his character, Mr. Nancy, would not be a part of American Gods season 3, in a video posted to his personal Twitter account....

. Ars put Parallels 8 against VMware Fusion this week and found there is not much of a contest between the two virtualization powerhouses. Parallels 8 out-gunned VMware across the board (as previous benchmarks have shown) performance-wise and adds full support for Retina displays and dictation among other features. VMware Fusion might fit better into cross-platform installations or for folks with legacy VMware images. Neither Parallels Desktop 8 or VMWare Fusion 5 are loaded to the gills with new features, so the PD8 update from version 7 is only a must-have if you are looking for Windows 8 or retina MacBook support in Windows 7 or 8....

Oppo is a very successful Chinese brand. It’s reflected in their sales and turnovers. The smartphone market is so competent and to survive is a tough job. But Oppo manages to sneak in and make huge profits out of its service. Especially in India, there are a lot of hurdles for any company should overcome at least to generate a brand name. That is because in India there are a lot of smartphones sold ranging from brands that are never heard before to best-selling iPhones and Samsung devices....

The Oscars attempt to explain Luke Perry’s omission from this year’s In Memoriam. Each year the Oscars telecast includes a tribute to important film industry figures who passed away over the preceding 12 months, and each year producers manage to create controversy by omitting a few notable people who arguably deserved to be included in the segment. Of course, as with most such controversies, the social media bullhorn nowadays amplifies things to a much higher volume than in years past, when fans didn’t have the ability to instantaneously vent their ire at their favorite artists receiving a snub....

Finding bisexual representation on film is much more difficult than finding it on television. While we still have a long way to go in both mediums, television is ahead of film in terms of diversity. There is more at stake with big-budget movies that don’t work and often Hollywood isn’t willing to step outside its comfort zone which is unfortunate since it has been proven multiple times that audiences are receptive....

It will be interesting to see if it will bring more users to the browser, especially since there have been talks about Facebook being interested in buying the company. Since Opera doesn’t have the habit of releasing a lot of new versions in a short period of time, the new release is filled with new features. One of the most striking visual features is Themes. You can customize the browser with a variety of looks, and it’s done in a couple of clicks....

Operation: Finale is remarkably accurate to the true story of the capture of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann (Ben Kingsley) with only a few changes for dramatic reasons. Directed by Chris Weitz and written by Michael Orton, one of several source materials Operation: Finale is based upon is Eichmann In My Hands, the memoir by Israeli agent Peter Malkin (played by Oscar Isaac) in the film. Set in 1960 Argentina where Operation: Finale was shot on location, the film depicts how SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Jewish Holocaust, was located living in Buenos Aires as “Ricardo Klement”, a supervisor at a Mercedes Benz factory....

When Apple launched the iPhone 6s/Plus, 3D Touch was one of the headline features. Apple devoted a full four-minute video to showing what it does and how it works. Even today, visit the Apple website and click on the iPhone 6s, and it’s the first thing you see. Apple’s summary of the phone is ‘3D Touch, 12MP photos, 4K video.’ The first tab at the top of the screen is 3D Touch....

With Apple reporting lower-than-expected iPad sales for the second quarter in a row, it’s likely that Tim Cook will be once again be called on to reassure investors that the decline in year-on-year sales won’t continue indefinitely. Cook has been very bullish on the iPad, despite the numbers, pointing especially to growing sales in the education sector and the opportunity for tablet growth in enterprise. I think he’s right, especially with the IBM partnership....

One of the things I like about Apple is the company’s strong commitment to privacy. By making its money from hardware and chargeable services, it doesn’t need to rely much on advertising, and it can therefore afford to take a strong stand on the issue. Indeed, the legal tussle with the FBI over the San Bernardino shooting was probably one of the best pieces of PR for the company. It demonstrated that Apple felt so strongly about protecting the privacy of its customers that it was willing to take on the might of the U....

Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black is certainly an ensemble show, but the core storyline moving throughout is the love/hate relationship plot between Piper Chapman and Alex Vause. That’s what starts the story and it’s what ends it, with all the bumps along the way being highlighted. While they clearly love each other, to the point where they get prison married, they are also not very well matched. They constantly argue, they cheat on each other and seem to just have totally different personalities, which means they’re likely better suited to other people....

Claire Fraser is no stranger to going against what is expected of her as a wife, a mother, or even a woman in general. In Outlander, Claire has shown many times throughout the series thus far that she is fiercely devoted to those she loves and will do whatever it takes to protect them or stand up for them when they cannot. She also does the same for herself. All of this has added up to many utterly shameless Claire moments all throughout Outlander....

Parallels for Mac virtualization software has been getting major updates this year with the recent release of version 8, making it even easier to run Mac and Windows apps side by side. In version 7, it made it a lot easier to upgrade and buy copies of Windows directly from within the app, and we even had a Windows 8 developer preview up and running. Unfortunately, with today’s launch of Microsoft’s Windows 8, Parallel’s is warning Mac users that the app is not ready to update to the new OS....

Parks & Recreation wouldn’t be the same without Nick Offerman as Ron Swanson, but Pawnee’s whisky loving director of the Parks Department wasn’t Offerman’s first option when he auditioned for the series. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, Parks & Recreation followed eternal optimist Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and her friends and coworkers from the Parks and Recreation Department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana. Over the course of seven seasons, viewers got to know some of Pawnee’s most colorful and peculiar citizens, among those Leslie’s boss Ron Swanson, who is best known for his deadpan and stereotypical masculine personality, although he often showed how much he cared about his colleagues (and had a lot of respect for Leslie)....

Apple today has been hit with a lawsuit by Texas-based Somaltus LLC, which claims that the charging system used by the iPhone violates a patent it acquired from Snap-On Technologies. Snap-On Technologies originally acquired the patent in 2010 for an “integrated battery service system” that performs a “plurality of services related to devices/components that are coupled to the battery.” The patent goes on to describe how such a system would work in relation to starters, alternators, and other car parts....

iBeacon seems to be making a pretty rapid transition into the mainstream, with stores like Apple, Macy’s, American Eagle, inMarket and bars all adopting it – as well as non-retail applications like Major League Baseball parks. If you’re still not familiar with it, our iBeacon briefing provides the low-down, but the tl;dr summary is that when you walk into a retail store equipped with iBeacons, you’ll be invited to allow alerts to be sent to your iPhone....
