What Is Open Source? It’s Freedom! This is the most important thing that a user should possess. I may or may not be modifying the code but someone who wants to modify the code for good purposes should not be restricted. And a user should be allowed to share the software if he likes it. And this is all possible with open-source software. The closed source operating systems have really scaring license terms....
From some recent news reports and analyst pronouncements, we could easily get the impression that the relatively weak Chinese economy poses a major threat to Apple. The argument doing the rounds is that China is where Apple is seeing most of its growth at present, and the Chinese economy is tanking. It’s absolutely the case that the importance of China to Apple cannot be overstated. Apple does continue to grow its sales in both the Americas and Europe, of course, and there is no suggestion that this is showing any sign of slowing, despite a saturated smartphone market....
One of the biggest shake-ups we’ve seen in the iOS user-interface was the replacement of skeuomorphism – making things look like real-life objects – with the complete opposite in iOS 7. Where once we had realistic looking 3D representations, we instead got a ‘flat’ UI which goes out of its way to remain 2D. While some feel that skeuomorphism looks old-fashioned these days, the approach still has its fans even now – and Apple has shown signs of beginning to adopt a new take on the look using something called anisotropism …...

Whilst we are waiting for the onslaught of iPhone X reviews to drop, Steven Levy (now writing for Wired) has published his hands-on with the device, having been given a review unit last Tuesday. Levy was one of the four journalists who reviewed the original iPhone in 2007, so Apple decided to give him the opportunity to publish first impressions with the ‘milestone’ iPhone X. Levy was impressed by the ‘Super Retina’ 5....
Alongside the iPad Pro last November, Apple introduced a new connectivity option for users with the Smart Connector. Originally, Apple only touted the connection as being good for easily pairing things like keyboards to the iPad. We’ve since learned a little more about the capabilities of the three-pin connection, but overarching details are still vague. Last month, I had the chance to try out the LOGI Base dock with Smart Connector support....

Phoenix; RootPipe Reborn from patrick wardle on Vimeo. A former NSA staffer says that the OS X 10.10.3 update which Apple claims fixed a significant security vulnerability has failed to do so, reports Forbes. Patrick Wardle, who now heads up research at security firm Synack, demonstrated the vulnerability in a video (without revealing exactly how it was done) to allow Apple time to issue a further fix. The Rootpipe vulnerability allows an attacker with local access to a Mac to escalate their privileges to root – allowing them full control of the machine – without further authentication....
A number of Mac users in an Apple Support Communities thread are reporting that Apple’s 10.9.2 update to Mavericks has broken AirPlay Mirroring to Apple TV and the ability to extend desktops to external monitors. There is as yet no obvious common denominator among those experiencing the problem, though as it works with fresh installs of OS X 10.9.2, it seems it may be a conflict with a setting from earlier versions of OS X....

Sharing individual tracks and stations to Facebook, Twitter, and email is built right in now as well....
Hugh Jackman keeps telling everyone - including us - that he’s done playing Wolverine after Logan, but Sir Patrick Stewart - who’s been in the franchise for just as long - is very game to keep playing Charles Xavier if there are X-Men stories that require an older Professor X. Stewart returns in Logan to help Wolverine round out his own trilogy and conclude his journey but like the star of the movie, this older Charles is someone you’ve never seen in the X-Men movies before - and that was extremely important to Stewart....
Orange is the New Black has received nearly universal acclaim as a series. However, polarizing protagonist Piper Chapman garners more of a mixed response. The Piper hate train definitely hosts more than a few disgruntled occupants, and it’s not that difficult to see precisely why. She’s privileged, arrogant and self-absorbed, and prison seems to do little to temper any of these unlikable traits. However, boiling her down to the spoiled rich girl archetype is hardly fair....
Joker’s Joaquin Phoenix is the Best Actor favorite at the Academy Awards, according to one betting site. Released at the start of October 2019, Joker has remained in the spotlight ever since, having received praise from numerous sources. Recently, Phoenix took home a Best Actor award at the Golden Globes. At this point, it goes without saying Joker was one of the most unique releases of 2019. Few could have foreseen its box office success, and even before counting international numbers....
Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time In Hollywood is listed as the odds-on favorite to win Best Picture at the 2020 Oscars. The ninth film from Tarantino, Once Upon a Time was initially touted in news reports as the director’s 1969 film and later as his Charles Manson movie, but in true Tarantino fashion the film that was ultimately delivered proved to be much more than originally anticipated. Indeed Once Upon a Time In Hollywood concerns events that happened in 1969, and does include a very brief appearance by Manson, but the movie is really primarily about late ’60s Los Angeles as imagined by Tarantino....
An Apple patent application published today reveals an idea for an interesting variation on the magnetically-closed Milanese Loop band that allows it to do much more than simply secure the Apple Watch on your wrist. By using a careful arrangement of magnet orientations, the band can transform itself into a protective case when travelling, a stand on a bedside table or desk – or a Mac accessory … In the standard band configuration, the band would be held closed in a similar way to the Milanese Loop....
An online service that helps unhappy spouses file for divorce claims that ‘addiction to Fortnite‘ has been cited in 200 divorces so far this year … The company says that it did some data mining after noticing that the game was being increasingly referenced. It said that digital addictions are now being added to three of the most common reasons for divorce: addiction to drugs, alcohol and gambling. It is affecting relationships and marriages according to research by online divorce website www....
When comparing Apple’s new iPhones side-by-side, the biggest difference that calls out to me is that beautiful iPhone X display. The bezel-less device fully immerses you in content, and compared to the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus’ bezels, it seems otherworldly. I don’t know why I’d go for any other iPhone. By shrinking those bezels down, the iPhone X gains a significant display size increase, while remaining smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus....
There is a lot of hype going on about a certain Oppo R17. Previously we mentioned of an Oppo model receiving TENAA certification which we think to be the R17. Now certain images are making appearances on the internet that claims to be of the Oppo R17. These Oppo R17 image leaks bring interesting information. The images consist of the front panel and a prototype unit with the display on....
