After the surprise announcement that the Magic Keyboard for iPad will be available sooner than originally announced, the cheaper Logitech alternative which fits Apple’s non-Pro iPads is also shipping now. You can now add the Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Case to your shopping bag at the Apple Store. Apple is quoting Friday 17 delivery times. Versions of the case are available for 7th generation iPad and 3rd-generation iPad Air users. At $149, they represent pretty good value for money — only slightly dearer than the trackpad-less Apple Smart Keyboard Folio....

The Child’s Play series shifted toward horror-comedy in its later installments, a stark departure in tone from the first few films. The dark original, a surprise box office hit in 1988, spawned six sequels (so far), a reboot and television series now in development. Taking a grounded approach to the “killer doll” subgenre, Child’s Play revolved around serial killer Charles “Chucky” Lee Ray, played by Brad Dourif, who uses a voodoo ritual to transfer his soul into a child-size doll just before he dies....

According to a poorly translated report from Macotakara, China Unicom’s Deputy Director of Research has confirmed an iPhone 5 with HSPA+ capabilities (21Mbps) during a keynote at Macworld Asia 2011. The image above is from the presentation via PC Watch. We’ve heard rumors that Apple is in early testing of LTE-capable test devices, and we know AT&T has already started rolling out their HSPA+ tech and even marketing HSPA devices as “4G”....

As it still sits pretty near the top of the charts on the App Store, Coinbase today has added support for trading Bitcoin Cash – a Bitcoin fork originally created back in August. Abbreviated as BCH, the cryptocurrency was not supported by Coinbase when it originally launched a few months back… For those unfamiliar with the terminology, Coinbase describes what a fork is: With that in mind, Coinbase originally said that it wouldn’t add support for Bitcoin Cash, but it quickly had a change of heart and said customers would be able to withdraw BCH before 2018....

There’s an acronym widely used for setting goals: SMART. There are a few different versions of this floating around, but one common one is that objectives should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. Apple’s stated commitment to stop mining the earth and build all products from recycled materials would seem to fail on two of these criteria. It isn’t currently achievable. It simply isn’t realistic today for Apple to obtain all of the materials it requires in the quantities it needs at a viable price without mining some of them, and there’s no saying when it might become so....

I’ve been using Paste on my Mac for quite a while, it’s one of the apps from my Setapp subscription I learned to rely on. My work often involves copying and pasting stuff, be it text, code snippets, URLs and even images, so having a centralized place to store all of my clipboard history is a nice thing to have. With Universal Clipboard finally working reliably as of iOS 11.3 and macOS 10....

Cars 3 is set to arrive this summer; a welcome return for one of Pixar’s most popular franchises. Cars was a huge hit when it was released back in 2006, and its characters became instant classics. In fact, Cars broke Disney/Pixar’s record for merchandise, taking over $10 billion in the five years following its release. A huge part of the movie’s success and subsequent merchandise sales was down to the fact that Pixar managed to make anthropomorphic vehicles that were relatable, fun to watch, and above all (for younger fans) could be replicated in exact detail as toys....

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine two fictional worlds crossing over because they feel like they’re, well, a world a way. But that definitely is not the case when it comes to the Harry Potter fictional universe and the fictional universe of Charmed. Aside from the fact that Charmed focuses on a trio of witches, the later years of Charmed even included it’s very own Hogwarts-style magic school for young witches....

China Telecom, one of the carriers in China to carry Apple’s iPhone, posted a message on microblogging website Weibo indicating that it will soon carry both of Apple’s upcoming iPhones: the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The message has since been deleted. With Apple holding a satellite stream of the September 10th media event in China, it is already likely that the country will see a promoted launch of both of the new iPhones....

Sharing the experience of many urban iPhone owners, CNET’s Elinor Mills explains how she’s been having iPhone voice issues for the past two years. In fact she’s gone so far as to say that with the US iPhone’s carrier, AT&T, the iPhone isn’t even a phone. Clearly there is a disparity here. Most people outside of New York, San Francisco and a few other densely populated areas don’t have the same type of iPhone voice issues and they’ll state loudly that they get crystal clear reception and no dropped calls....

Xfinity Mobile, Comcast’s wireless service that uses Verizon’s network is sending out emails to customers ahead of new restrictions for video and hotspot data use. As reported by The Verge, Xfinity Mobile will soon begin limiting data use in a couple of ways. First, it will start holding back video quality to 480p for both its pay per GB and unlimited plans. If you’re a current Xfinity Mobile user you can call customer service and ask for the ability to watch 720p over your cellular data....

The official cash rate and the interest rate are not one and the same, although the cash rate significantly impacts the rates lenders offer on their financial products. Keep on reading to find out more about Australia’s cash rate vs interest rate, how they differ and how one affects the other. What Is the Cash Rate? Put simply, the cash rate is the country’s official interest rate. It represents the interest banks and loan providers pay on unsecured overnight loans between each other....

One of the best lesser-known pieces of horror media of the last few years is the anthology horror series Channel Zero. The show, which debuted with SyFy in 2016, has now had four scary seasons, each based on a different creepypasta from the old days of the internet. The show is now available on Shudder, with fans hoping it will continue to get new seasons on the horror streaming platform. Season one of the show is still held in high regard as an excellent launch to such a bold idea....

A report released on Wednesday from five independent environmental organizations in China (via Financial Times) accuses Apple of knowingly inking deals with known polluters and taking“advantage of the loopholes in developing countries’ environmental management systems”. The report even goes as far as claiming air pollution from two factories (Kaedar Electronics and Unimicron Electronics) have forced villagers, who say they’ve noticed increased cancer rates since the factories popped up, to send their children out of town for school....

Chris Hemsworth welcomes Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool to the Marvel family after the completion of the Disney-Fox deal. Although there are many facets to Disney’s now official acquisition of Fox’s film and TV assets, the one that has undoubtedly received the most attention (for better or worse) is the reality that Marvel Studios will have access to the X-Men and Fantastic Four for the first time. Marvel has yet to confirm their plans for the characters, but a major reboot is expected....

This is how Cloak‘s selling line sounds like – “Avoid exes, co-workers, that guy who likes to stop and chat – anyone you’d rather not run into”. To put it in other words, it uses social check-ins and other geo-location information to help you avoid people you would prefer not bump into. Cloak ‘scrapes’ Instagram and Foursquare for locations, but more social networks will be added with a future release....

As part of Apple’s 30th anniversary celebration of the Mac, Apple built a dedicated page to illustrate the evolution of the Mac year after year. Each panel features line-drawn icon representing the Mac portraying that year, and a friend of mine, Greg Barbosa, noticed these icons are actually characters that make up a special font. You can download the font to your Mac and explore each icon yourself, and I’ve created a gallery below to see each Mac drawing at high-res scale....

Update on October 1, 2019: Google Pixel 4 is a smartphone about which we not only have heard off but, also have seen the device in all of its glory and that too before its launch. Practically, everything is available about the device except the official launch of the device. However, the device is expected to come out this month on October 15th at the Made By Google event in New York....

Lars Klevberg’s Child’s Play 2019 introduced a new Chucky with very different motivations and backstory, as well as other variations of the now called Buddi Doll. This new version of director Tom Holland’s slasher classic followed the same basic plot of the original but adapted to the digital era, with the Buddi Doll arriving with a number of technological enhancements. Among its many features, the Buddi Doll comes with voice recognition, the ability to learn from human interaction, and the ability to control other Kaslan products around, all while saving the information it gathers to the cloud....
