Up until not too long ago, I used to ask myself a simple question: if I were to pick one company — and one company alone — to rely on for all of my “tech needs”, which one would I choose? The answer would come rather swiftly: Apple. As a critic (by nature more than profession) I have always seen the vast majority of products skeptically, but that didn’t take from the fact that the Cupertino giant made what I considered to be the best smartphone, the best tablet, the best computers and even two of the most valid operating systems around, accounting for a sweet, unified and well-connected package that would make me feel like I didn’t have to look outside of it....

Hot on the heels of Apple unveiling the highly anticipated iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, popular accessory company Pad and Quill has today announced a new case for the device.

As anyone who’s tried one of the interactive demo units for the Apple Watch will know, it’s a pretty effective way to understand what the Watch can do. From a patent application published today, it appears Apple may be considering doing the same thing with future iPhones. While iPhone users may consider the devices pretty self-explanatory, and wonder why such interactive displays might be needed, the patent text does give one clue....

New posters and a trailer for Pixar’s Onward have been released, revealing more about the magic found within the studio’s upcoming urban fantasy film. Onward is the first of two new Pixar movies releasing next year (the other being Pete Doctor’s Soul) and it also marks the first time the studio has really delved into the fantasy genre. Pixar movies have obviously included fantastical elements before, but Onward is their first film to fully embrace all that comes with the genre....

2015 proved to be a gigantic year for Apple in terms of shipping totally new products and seeing services go live for the first time. Apple Watch is a brand new category for the iPhone maker, the new Apple TV delivers on long-awaited update to the streaming box, and iPad Pro is every bit the giant tablet that was rumored for so long. My two absolute favorite new things from Apple this year, however, aren’t new hardware products but instead two services that have been criticized but have made a meaningful difference in my everyday life…...

Prison drama series Orange Is the New Black has been making us laugh and cry for seven whole seasons and we already miss it like crazy. The best part of the series is the characters and their relationships that build up over time with one another, while behind bars. As the theme song states, when you’re in prison, “you’ve got time”, which means there’s a whole lot of hours spent getting to know people in ways that you simply couldn’t in the outside world....

OtterBox is out today with an interesting take on streamlining the iPhone wireless charging experience. OtterSpot has arrived as a modular home and portable wireless charging system with a stackable design, USB-C, and 5,000 mAh capacity in the portable Qi-enabled OtterSpot batteries that neatly rest and charge on top of the base. Particularly since Apple canceled AirPower, there really hasn’t been much innovation in the wireless charging space.

Tom Haverford was pretty much an open book, which allowed Parks & Recreation fans to truly get to know him, but there’s one detail about him that is often forgotten: his real name. Yes, “Tom Haverford” wasn’t his actual name. Parks & Recreation was created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur and debuted on NBC in 2009, coming to an end in 2015 after seven seasons. Although it had a rough start, with its first season regarded as the worst of the bunch, the series eventually found its balance and tone, and built a pretty solid fanbase....

Reuters reports that there is concern about rapid sell-offs if the market got worried about the degree of risk involved in the tech sector. AAPL saw dramatic growth of 86% last year, its best performance since 2009. Analysts unsurprisingly don’t expect that to be repeated this year. While few see a clear reason for their run to end, some money managers worry the market’s leaders have become richly valued and overstretched, leaving them vulnerable to a sudden reversal in risk appetite....

Most Apple-watchers agree that the company’s largest debacle was the iPhone 4’s faulty antenna. Steve Jobs took an extended period of time before holding a press conference, simultaneously spinning the reports as overblown, and debuting a free case program....
