Outcast for Apple Watch debuted in January and immediately became my favorite way to listen to podcasts without my iPhone. Fast-forward to June and Apple unveiled that watchOS 5 would add Apple’s Podcasts app to Apple Watch and support third-party apps much better. While it sounds like Outcast has plans for watchOS 5 (which is currently in developer beta), Outcast 2 has shipped for everyone and includes two major features: episode streaming and playlists for continuous playback....

What’s your switching strategy? Most folks believe they’ve got it all figured out until they realize that transferring settings and documents from a rusty PC to a Mac is a mind job. Parallels, the company that brought you great PC virtualization software for the Mac, has just released on the Mac App Store Parallels Transporter, their handy tool aimed at switchers. It’s a no-brainer, especially at price that low. More information below the fold....

Paramount took the opportunity of the important day this week to drop a couple of new trailers that Star Trek fans have been waiting for. In particular, a new (but brief) trailer for the upcoming season 2 of Star Trek: Picard. It features a prominent and mischievous character from back in the day reprising his role. That’s right! John de Lancie is coming back as “Q.” Paramount also dropped a new trailer for Season 4 of Star Trek: Discovery....

Onlypult isn’t your average social media tool. Sure, it lets you post on social media platforms, but you can also post to your blog as well. Onlypult is also built to manage tasks that would typically have you chasing your team for updates or would require you using additional tools that cost you more money. And that’s just half of it. If you have been on the lookout for something more than just another social media scheduling tool, this may just be what you’re after....

Yesterday the WSJ reported that sources indicate Apple is in ongoing exploratory talks to buy Jay Z’s Tidal music subscription business while carefully noting sources say talks may not lead to a deal. While Apple reportedly talking to Jay Z’s Tidal does not equal Apple actually buying Tidal (yet), the idea of Apple buying Tidal anytime soon and within two years of spending $3 billion on Beats in part to build its Apple Music streaming service comes as a surprise to many — not unlike the Beats episode…...

OPPO has unveiled its new OPPO F15 (Model: CPH2001 ), which is the successor of the last year’s OPPO F11 series. The brand confirms that there will be no “Pro” version for the new device. Because if they release a “Pro” version, it will directly compete with their own OPPO Reno 2F. The brand aims at the youth with their new smartphone. If you’re the Oppo F15 user and looking for the official firmware flash file to download, you can follow this full guide below....

The base model, i.e., the Find X2 Lite comes with Snapdragon 765G, this means it has 5G connectivity onboard. It packs 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, and 4025 mAh battery with VOOC 4.0 support.

As another year in film gets underway, we’re taking a look at possible Best Picture contenders for the 2021 Oscars. Considering how far away the 93rd Academy Awards are, it seems a bit foolish to be making predictions this early in the year. However, just by looking at films’ on-paper potential, it is possible to make semi-accurate picks long before anything screens. Our first list of 2020 Best Picture predictions was published in March 2019 (11 months prior to the ceremony) and included five of the nine nominees: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Irishman, Jojo Rabbit, Little Women, and Ford v Ferrari....

What makes a good character? That’s probably the questions writers everywhere have been asking themselves since the dawn of time. Because let’s be real, it’s extremely hard to create fictional people that are compelling, relatable and make for top-notch narratives. Very often, the characters we see on television feel bland because they aren’t layered enough. And what’s more boring than someone who only falls into a single category, whether it’s the villain or the hero?...

SQL injection is a very popular and common web application vulnerability caused by improper handling of input data and its usage in database queries. This vulnerability has been part of the top vulnerabilities in the OWASP Top 10 Web Application Vulnerabilities under the “Injection” category for many years. An application vulnerable to SQL injection attack allows an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries, leading to database enumeration and data theft....

If there’s one certainty in life where Apple is concerned, it’s that it targets the premium end of the market. Apple would tell you that it aims to make the best products, and that these cost money to make. A more cynical observer might say that Apple aims to make the highest margins and makes the products (and adds the marketing) it takes to achieve this. But either way, the company has always targeted those customers willing to pay the big bucks for premium products....

Now that we’ve had our first look at at least an early take on iOS 8, what stands out most to me is how little the basic appearance of the iOS homescreen has changed over the years. On the left is iOS 1, on the right the recently-leaked iOS 8 homescreen. Seven years apart, yet still essentially identical in form: a grid of static icons. Looked at in one way, that’s incredibly impressive: that a user-interface that worked in 2007 still works today....

Panic today announced that it is releasing a new version of its popular Coda coding app that brings support for the new MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar, as well as a variety of other improvements… The update, which brings the app to version 2.6 fixes its fair share of bugs, but the star of the show is support for Touch Bar. With Touch Bar support, developers can more easily switch between Editor and Preview modes, indent/outdent/comment lines, jump between lines, create sites, and much more:...

Onward is projected to have one of the lowest box office openings in Pixar’s history. After scoring another $1 billion hit (and another Best Animated Feature Oscar) with sequel Toy Story 4, the animation powerhouse has two original offerings on deck for 2020. Up first is Onward, a fantasy-adventure film starring Chris Pratt and Tom Holland as two elf brothers who go on a quest to find magic so they can complete a spell that brings their late father back for one day....

Today’s news about Apple putting new features on the back burner for iOS 12 means that the company will finally be focusing on polishing up its mobile operating system. After years of interface inconsistencies and frame rate issues, iOS may be getting some much-needed attention on the finer details. While frame rate issues have gone unnoticed by many, prominent YouTuber and entrepreneur Chris Pirillo has been documenting his findings over the years with a public list of issues....

There is a small pool of original content on Paramount Plus, unlike Netflix’s wide selection of familiar series and reality shows. Similar to Hulu, you can have an ad-supported or ad-free package. In the same way as Peacock, there’s a live TV component. There is great content for kids on Nickelodeon Plus, as is the case with Disney Plus. You’ll also be able to watch major releases soon after their theatrical debuts, like HBO Max....

Just as the new film of the same name from director Guillermo del Toro is about to hit theatres, Reliance Games has released the ‘Pacific Rim’ mobile game for iPhone and iPad. The developers have done a couple decent movie-tie ins in the past, so hopefully Pacific Rim will be worth the $4.99 it’s asking in the App Store. The game features a story mode with over 30 levels and also a Survival Mode that will allow you to “defend humanity from an endless wave of Kaiju” in one of the massive transformer-like robots from the movie known as Jaegers....

This year we saw an unusually high number of vehicle recalls. We combed through six months of recall reports we put together this year and came up with a massive list of 5 million vehicles from Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Lexus, Toyota, Volkswagen and more. Tap or click here to see if your car has been recalled. The troubles go beyond four-wheeled vehicles. A popular one-wheeled electric skateboard, the Onewheel GT, faces recall after reports of deaths and multiple injuries....
