When a script is recorded, it covers single and straight flow of the subject application. Whereas, a real user may perform multiple iterations of any process before he logs out. The delay between clicking buttons (think time) will vary from person to person. Chances are that some real users access your application over DSL and some access it over a dial-up. So, in order to get the real feel of end user, we need to enhance our scripts to be exact match, or at least very close in behaviour to real users....

Last night we received a report from Macotakara that the new MacBook Pros were still coming this month, despite a lack of any announcements from Apple. The reporting didn’t specify anything about the internal hardware specs, but did resurface the idea that MagSafe, Thunderbolt 2, and USB-A ports would be replaced. The thing for me is this: Apple just dropped the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 and the reaction to that has been controversial to say the least....

The Apple world this morning seems divided between those who seemingly haven’t grasped the implications of Apple’s ‘promotion’ of Jony Ive, merely taking Cook’s memo at face value, and those switching into full-on ‘Apple is doomed’ mode. The reality is, I think, a little more nuanced. It seems pretty clear that this move is, as Seth outlined earlier, about Ive taking more of a backseat role – and especially being able to spend a lot more time back in England....

Undoubtedly, Outlander owes much of its popularity to the beautiful love story of Jamie and Claire Fraser. Who isn’t a complete sucker for romances that include crossing challenges, oceans, and, in this particular case, even time? The narrative and adventures surrounding these two characters has been the driving force of the show ever since it first premiered. However, as much as we adore these two lovebirds, we do have to give some serious props to the supporting cast....

Overwatch will soon receive a massive update, according to a leak from someone who has proved reliable in the past, and hero bans could be coming to the game in the near future. Hero bans are a popular element in games like League of Legends and Dota 2, but both of those titles have much deeper rosters of characters, which in turn provides more lop-sided matchups for teams without the ability to ban out their nightmare scenarios....

Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro reveals why he didn’t return to helm Pacific Rim: Uprising. The original film was a modest success domestically in the United States but a much larger hit internationally. A sequel was always in the cards creatively but Legendary Pictures, along with Universal Pictures, took their time to decide whether to proceed with the second movie or not. Eventually, Pacific Rim 2 (then titled Pacific Rim: Maelstrom) was announced in 2015 with del Toro directing — only to be halted just before it was supposed to go in front of cameras in Toronto....

The Emperor’s return in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has some very strange parallels to the old Legends. There’s nothing new about the idea of the Emperor coming back from the dead; in 1991 and 1992, Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy produced the Star Wars: Dark Empire miniseries. George Lucas loved the comic, and bought copies as Christmas presents for his employees. Dark Empire envisioned a scenario in which Emperor Palpatine had been mysteriously resurrected, and emerged leading a resurgent Empire armed with a fleet of superweapons, the World Devastators, which were described as “more powerful and unstoppable than the Death Star....

Update: While OnLive provided the same statement (below) to Kotaku as they did to Joystiq, a new report from Kotaku, citing a source inside OnLive, claimed the company is about to file for bankruptcy and layoff most of its employees: [tweet https://twitter.com/onlive/status/236537627526979584] OnLive’s Director of Corporate Communications Brian Jaquet has shot down rumors that the game streaming service is closing its doors after several media outlets reported the story earlier today....

Earlier this week it was reported that an upcoming MacBook Pro refresh would bring a thinner design, Touch ID support, and an OLED touch bar above the keyboard. One of the longstanding requests by MacBook users, however, has been an option for cellular connectivity and now it looks like we might be one step closer to that coming to fruition. As noted by PatentlyApple, Apple has recently been granted a patent for a MacBook with cellular connectivity....

After receiving an Oscar at the 92nd Academy Awards, director Taika Waititi made a remark about the weight of an Oscar, causing some to wonder about the actual weight of the prestigious award. Officially named the Academy Award of Merit, the award is better known by the name “Oscar”. Modeled after a knight, the Oscar was designed by MGM art director Cedric Gibbons and created by sculptor George Stanley for the first Academy Award ceremony all the way back in 1929....

Recently, Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan suggested that Hearthstone pro player Chung “blitzchung” Ng Wai should have his Blizzard suspension reduced even further or outright eliminated, a strange show of solidarity that goes against what the company has been preaching at large regarding the Hong Kong controversy that has persisted since the company had the player suspended in the first place. Blitzchung’s story began with the player expressing pro-Hong Kong sentiment, supporting the protests taking place there, and quickly garnered global attention when Blizzard punished him by suspending him and revoking the prize money he had earned....

According to a press release from the company, the new device will be filling a void in the Android tablet market: the need for an enterprise-grade device with a laser focus on security and durability which is perfect for road warriors, manufacturing and… oil rig operators! In order to achieve this, Panasonic promises NOT to have a glossy screen (it’s hard to read outdoors), but it will be a well-lit one, and it will include a pen (to help sales personnel)....

It’s finally here. The Pangu team has released its iOS 8 jailbreak tool for Mac. This will provide a one-click jailbreak solution for anyone without a Windows computer. Previously the tool was only available for Windows, which could also be used within a virtual machine on OS X, but now it’s native. This is obviously an ideal situation for anyone that owns a Mac. This release wasn’t a huge surprise as the Pangu team confirmed that it was in the works last week, but only mentioned that it “may come out in couple of days....
