Every year, The Oscars honor the motion picture industry, giving out prestigious golden statues to the people behind the most celebrated movies of the year. The selection of categories is broad enough to ensure that all genres, from introspective dramas to grandiose summer blockbusters, can win awards in various fields. Transformers may never net a Best Actor prize for its stars, but it’s always a frontrunner for Best Visual Effects, Sound Editing, and other technical awards....

Popular podcast app Overcast got a major update today that includes an all new Apple Watch app, improved compatibility with Siri, and other improvements. The headline of this release, labeled 2021.1, is undoubtedly the redesigned watchOS app. New watch apps are fairly rare these days, so it’s exciting when an existing one gains a big update. The new app is more streamlined and adds several features previously only available on your paired iPhone....

Apple today seeded iOS 7.1.2, and we’ve confirmed that the recently-released Pangu jailbreak does indeed work perfectly fine with the new build. While Pangu was released after Apple seeded 7.1.2 to carriers (meaning that the likelihood of the security holes being patched was fairly low), there was still the slim possibility that Apple would make a few changes and patch the holes before pushing the update to the masses. But alas, the untethered jailbreak that we told you about last week is still capable of jailbreaking iOS 7....

Jim O’Heir portrayed Jerry Gergich for all seven seasons of Parks and Recreation. When the NBC sitcom came to an end in 2015, Jerry started to display the self-confidence that transformed him into an equal in the eyes of his colleagues. The Parks and Rec series finale used a montage of flash-forward scenes to reveal the fates of the core characters, including Jerry. A long-time Pawnee Parks Department employee, Jerry was often the target of bullying due to his clumsiness....

NBC’s hit sitcom Parks and Recreation provides a mockumentary inside view of how to run city government in small-town USA. Here, we meet unforgettable characters like the quirky but tough Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), the outdoorsy and grumpy Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman), the scheming young woman April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza), and more as they try to keep their hometown of Pawnee, Indiana running. And in any office, there’s one guy who seems to take all the blame....

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfrN8IVQB84&channel=parrot] Parrot today introduced its new infotainment system, currently known only by its model number, “RNB6,” that features a 7-inch 720p display. The system runs on a custom build of Android, but has full support for the iPhone’s CarPlay feature, allowing control of your cell phone’s key functions through your dashboard. Even without a phone connected, the system offers onboard navigation (integrated with the dashcam), phone call capability (presumably over Bluetooth unless connected via CarPlay or Android Auto), vehicle diagnostics, music and climate control, and more....

If you got into that same time machine and moved forward at least a decade, you would see signs of Microsoft’s monopoly slackening. A lot of that has to do with open source projects. But what is open source? What are some of the best examples? Today we look at all of that and more. What is Open Source? Many open source advocates will tell you that open source projects are a philosophy and a way of life....

Apple announced its Apple TV+ streaming platform last month, and while it didn’t provide many details about the service itself, it did elaborate on its partnership with Oprah Winfrey. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Oprah has offered new detail on how the partnership came to fruition and how it could evolve in the future. Oprah explained that while she has The Oprah Winfrey Network – OWN – platform on which to produce content, Apple opens her up to a much wider audience....

A new extended trailer for the final season of Orphan Black features the clones teaming up to fight back against Neolution. It’s been a little more than four years since Orphan Black debuted on the Space network in Canada and BBC America in the United States.

And one of the camera’s more unheralded new features is something that will appeal majorly to MacBook owners. Instead of a slow USB 2.0 connection via a USB mini port, Panasonic is including USB 3.1 gen 1 via a USB Type-C port. Why is the inclusion of USB-C so important? One of the biggest complaints about the new MacBook Pro is the fact that it lacks any I/O ports outside of its USB-C ports....

The Parler website and app went offline last week, with the company’s CEO blaming Apple and Google for ‘destroying the company.’ This claim may be a little premature, however, as the website came back online today, albeit with only a holding message for now … Background Parler was used to help plan the attempted coup at the Capitol building, with users threatening to attack or kill both US vice-president Mike Pence and various members of Congress....

I talked earlier this week about how I’d rationalize Apple’s MacBook lineup, so now it’s time to look at the desktop lineup. I argued on Tuesday that the MacBook range was more complicated than it needs to be, and could be simplified by having a ‘good’ and ‘better’ version of each model, with custom-builds available for those who want ‘best.’ I also suggested that Apple be a little more generous with its specs as part of that simplification process....

Texas-based shell company Lodsys has often been accused of being a patent troll for its various attempts to take legal action against app developers and companies that it claims uses its technologies. Most notably, the company last year attempted to get iOS and Android developers to pay royalties over in-app purchasing before Apple’s legal team eventually intervened on behalf of developers. Now, after recent threats from Lodsys to Oracle customers such as Walgreens over a web-chat technology, Oracle is suing Lodsys in an attempt to invalidate its patents....
