The 2020 Oscars nominations announcement is just around the corner, so here are all the nominees (and potential winners) to expect. 2019 was an excellent year for cinema, one that sparked many conversations about the medium’s future and the place of the so-called Oscar movie in the blockbuster age. After a very mixed Oscar season last year with epic highs (Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, Roma) and serious lows (Bohemian Rhapsody, Green Book), it’s no wonder Oscar nerds and critics alike are simultaneously amped up and trepidatious for the coming awards....

iPhones could in future automatically sound louder or quieter notification alerts depending on the level of background noise. A patent application published today describes how both an iPhone and Apple Watch could periodically measure ambient sound levels, adjusting notification volumes to an appropriate level. The patent notes that while users can manually adjust the volume of alerts, many don’t do so because they forget or because it’s too much hassle. The patent suggests that the primary sound reading would be taken from the Apple Watch (aka ‘a wearable device’) …...

Fans of the Outlander series are bound to have more than just a few questions about the illusive Geillis Duncan, the self-proclaimed witch of the series. She is not just unpredictable and controversial, but rather terribly human in the way she opens up to other characters and displays both vulnerability and strength many times within a single episode. Here are 10 questions about the controversial character who has won as many hearts, as she has broken, in the fictional world of Outlander, together with their answers....

I’ve been using my iPhone to track my runs since 2010 when I first signed up for RunKeeper when I had an iPhone 3GS. I’ve only used a GPS watch for varying points in my running career, so for me, the iPhone has always been my primary run tracker. In recent years, many of the popular running apps have been moving towards a subscription model (which is understandable considering the apps need constant development), but I always believed there was room for a simple running that that was private by default and shared the data with Apple Health/Activity app....

Rumors began circulating about a possible Overwatch 2 when a report surfaced suggesting Blizzard was hard at work on both Diablo 4 and the sequel to Overwatch....

A couple of weeks ago, Apple released the rack mount version of the Mac Pro after making the standard Mac Pro tower available back in December. The rack-mount version carries a $500 premium and has a few other differences, like how the case opens to accommodate the rails that allow it to be mounted horizontally....

Over the weekend, a report from The New York Times detailed Apple’s removal of certain parental control applications from the App Store. Shortly thereafter, Apple responded with a press release explaining that the removals weren’t “a matter of competition” but rather “a matter of security.” Now, one of the applications affected by the crackdown is refuting Apple’s claims. Apple argued that it was focused on removing parental control applications based on MDM – or mobile device management – systems....

For some reason, a popular opinion floating around the web these days is that splitting iTunes up into a bunch of separate apps that all do one individual task each would be a vast improvement on the current one-app-for-everything design. “They did it on iOS,” the logic goes, “so why not do it on the Mac as well?” After pondering this suggestion for a while, I’m fully convinced that doing so would that be an unnecessary over-complication of the entire ecosystem....

Compare iOS/iPhone OS 1.0 with iOS 9.0, and you’ll see that the similarities are incredible — Apple had the right formula on day one, and just kept tweaking it over time. But try the same exercise with the Apple TV and you’ll see plenty of major changes, since a series of annual UI refreshes took years to settle on the interface we know today. Ditto with the iPod nano, which went through several major UI iterations as it shifted from Click Wheel to touchscreen interfaces....

The Oxford English Dictionary might be the bastion of the English language, but it just added the Star Wars word lightsaber and managed to spell it wrong. In the Star Wars universe, a lightsaber is an energy sword that has a luminescent plasma blade of varying colors. The lightsaber is a melee weapon most often used by the Jedi Order and the Sith. It made its first appearance in 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope....
