Is Apple considering another round of major changes to iOS’s Home screen? If watchOS and tvOS are any indication, the answer could be “yes.” Earlier this year, Apple launched the Apple Watch with a purely text-free Home screen, requiring users to identify 20-some initial apps (and manually-added third-party apps) by icon designs alone. This month, it will release the fourth-generation Apple TV with a refreshed UI, again almost entirely eliminating below-app text in favor of redesigned icons with 3D depth....

It’s time for a new Apple TV. That could be the whole story, but it won’t be. Since the end of 2017, when the Apple TV 4K launched, we haven’t heard another word from Apple about a new set-top box. The Apple TV has become an essential device for many Apple users, particularly during a pandemic, and this naturally begs the question of whether an update is coming. But what does the $179 Apple TV have that makes us all love this product even with Smart TVs being highly adopted everywhere?...

While Netflix’s series Orange Is The New Black takes place almost entirely in the setting of a women’s prison, lots of love brewed on the series. Most relationships were had between inmates, but others blossomed between inmates and prison guards, and even between the guards and management. Some of the relationships were sweet but with others, viewers were sour on them right from the beginning. Others, still, had viewers polarized, confused, or indifferent....

I’m going to be ordering AirTags, as they are looking like the best implementation yet of a small tracking device to keep tabs on our possessions. I will, though, likely go easy on the accessories: I think I’m going to be using velcro tape as my primary means of attaching them. But, as nice as they appear to be, AirTags are, in my opinion, actually the least-exciting part of this new Find My approach…...

The original PowerMac G5/Mac Pro is still, to me, one of the most beautiful machines Apple has ever made. The machine itself may be of limited use these days, but a British designer has found a cool new use for the case … The designer, who goes by the initials GTO, turned two of them into a bench by adding a slab of American Black Walnut. Having made one for himself, friends asked him to make others for them, and he’s now offering them for sale....

The nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards were finally released on January 13th, 2020. There has been quite a lot of discussion over the nominations, but also about who and what didn’t receive any recognition. With The Irishman and Joker leading the pack, some of your favorite movies of the year will be celebrated on February 9th. However, there were a ton of movies released in the past year, and not all of them could have their night in the spotlight....

When does my organization need a SOC Audit? SOC compliance and audits are intended for organizations that provide services to other organizations. For example, a company that processes payments for another organization that offers cloud hosting services may need SOC compliance. SOC compliance is designed to prove to a service provider’s customers that a company can provide the services that it is contracted for. In most cases, a company’s customers do not have deep visibility into their environments, making it difficult to trust that a company properly protects sensitive data etc....

Pandora announced today that it’s acquiring Rdio for $75 million with plans to integrate the competitive music streaming service’s technology into its own service pending the usual government approvals. Pandora isn’t planning on continuing the Rdio service or even purchasing the company itself, but rather buying Rdio’s technology and some of its talent as Rdio goes bankrupt and begins to shut down its service. In addition to acquiring technology and intellectual property from Rdio, many members of Rdio’s team will be offered roles with Pandora, subject to close of the agreement....

Parks and Recreation started off slow but ended up being a crowd favorite and running for seven seasons. With over 120 episodes, we got to know the government workers of Pawnee’s Parks and Rec. Department. With Leslie Knope as the city’s (former) Deputy Director, we get to know the people she works with and relies on. And while fans have a love/hate relationship with every character on Parks and Rec (just like every other sitcom on TV), many seem to despise Aziz Ansari’s character Tom Haverford....

This extended commuting time on trains provides me with the opportunity to thoroughly test new mobile technology. In March, the commute stopped as our engineering firm went fully remote in response to the coronavirus pandemic. I continue to test out new mobile technology and as you can see in the images boxes continue to stack up. My home office provides a separation between my engineering work and my freelance writing with many Star Wars items occupying the walls and shelves of my office....

Similarly, combining visual observation with audio could help a computer conceivably parse human speech better. In a sense, computer programs can read lips, though it is a laborious task to engineer. Recent AI work by Meta, the parent of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, suggests a more efficient path to a day when computers can read lips just as well as HAL 9000 did when Dr. David Bowman and Dr. Frank Poole tried to evade its audio sensors inside the pod in the movie “2001....

There’s an amusing detail featured in one of the murals depicting Pawnee’s history in Parks and Recreation. The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it detail occurred during season 3 of the NBC sitcom. The series often had a sick sense of humor, which was perfectly encapsulated with this clever gag. The Parks and Recreation Department, the show’s focus, was located inside the Pawnee City Hall building along with other government municipalities. While working at City Hall, Leslie Knope took a lot of pride in her city and was always keen on improving the area....

The January 2022 edition of the Opensignal report used data collected prior to the newly-launched C-Band markets that caused so much tumult among the US air travel and transport industries going live. It appears, at least according to Opensignal, that the duo simply couldn’t compete with T-Mobile’s 5G network in terms of speed or availability prior to their respective C-Band launch. According to Opensignal’s measurements, T-Mobile’s availability was more than twice that of its nearest competitor....

When Apple unveiled its latest MacBook Pro models, making particular reference to their ability to drive multiple 4K and 5K monitors, some wondered whether the company was readying itself to exit the desktop market – as it has already done for displays. Even Apple’s own employees appeared to share this concern, with one asking on the company’s internal Apple Web system ‘Are Mac desktops strategic for us?’. Tim Cook was quick to offer reassurance, stating that the desktop market was ‘very strategic’ for Apple, and that the company has ‘great desktops in our roadmap....

As you may know from my prior opinion piece on the iPad Pro, I was on the fence about keeping Apple’s new 12.9″ tablet. One of our editors has loved his Pro since day one, another returned his after a week of testing, and a third effectively consigned his to Netflix duty. Up until the Pro came out, I was a very satisfied iPad Air 2 user, so I didn’t feel like I needed a bigger device....
