Apple has been hit with another class action lawsuit in California. This one alleges that the company forced users to upgrade to iOS 7 by essentially breaking FaceTime in iOS 6. The move to render FaceTime useless in iOS 6, according to the lawsuit, was primarily driven by Apple wanting to avoid paying increasingly high data costs to Akamai. Today’s suit alleges, however, that the forced upgrade to use FaceTime rendered older devices like iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S unusable....

Speculation about the convergence of Macs and iPads has been around for a great many years, and got a new lease of life when we first heard reports of Apple working on some kind of cross-platform initiative. When Apple this week confirmed plans to bring iOS apps to the Mac, it answered the question about whether it would merge iOS and macOS with a huge ‘No’ on the screen. Some have responded by suggesting that may be true now, but this is just the first step....

Colin Trevorrow’s unmade Star Wars 9 script, titled Duel of the Fates, would’ve created a massive Kylo Ren and Rey plot hole. Initially tapped to helm the sequel trilogy capper, Trevorrow left the project in September 2017, citing creative differences over the script, and was shortly replaced by J.J. Abrams, who began the new film series with 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Sadly, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker wasn’t the satisfying culmination that everyone wanted it to be; instead, it has been divisive, with fans having varying opinions of it....

Cobra Kai picks up decades after The Karate Kid. As such, we learn that those characters have grown up and have been living their own lives after the All-Valley Tournament. It’s fascinating to find what things have changed and what things have stayed the same. Of course, along the way, we’re reintroduced to characters we knew back in the ’80s, and we get to see how they’ve evolved since the film....

Fitness tracking with the Apple Watch really kicked in for me a few months ago, and now I’m obsessed with filling the Activity rings and improving my health. So when I woke up Tuesday morning and discovered what looked like a small blotch of blue ink under the glass of my Apple Watch, I sort of freaked out. I have a Move streak going and just a few days left before the Perfect Month achievement in the Activity app kicks in, so I really didn’t want to go a day without my Apple Watch....

With the recent release of Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, the acclaimed director returned to the gangster genre that has defined much of his career. It also marked his ninth collaboration with Robert De Niro. However, despite their long-time working relationship, The Irishman is only their first movie together since 1995’s Casino. Set in 70s-era Las Vegas, Casino tells the tale of sports handicapper Sam “Ace” Rothstein (De Niro), who is given the Tangiers Casino to run by the midwest mafia....

However, what many people aren’t aware of is the fact that you could quite easily change her voice, accent, gender, and language as well.

So without further ado lets check out the steps to change Siri’s settings. Furthermore, this guide will cover iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Apple Watch and Apple TV....

We’ve seen some valuable app and game databases recently keeping track of all the software out there that’s optimized for Apple Silicon. Now a free open source app – from developer DigiDNA who makes iMazing – means it’s super easy to check all the apps on your Mac locally for M1 app compatibility. As we shared before, official Apple Silicon support for apps offers finely tuned efficiency and really impressive performance, but even non-supported apps running through Rosetta 2 translation run really well (which happens automatically after macOS Big Sur prompts you to download Rosetta 2 for the first time)....

As with other shows involving witchcraft, one of the most fun things about Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is the exploration of the magic system. Sabrina’s magic system is rooted in Satanic ritualism and paganism, although the Satanic aspects are exaggerated to highlight the malevolent and cultlike nature on which a belief system can take. At times, the show’s magic system even has the witches and warlocks reach out to what are considered Pagan Gods....

Chris Hemsworth went from an unknown to an A-list celebrity when he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe over a decade ago. You know him best as Thor and he’s part of the original six Avengers who just wrapped their run together in the extremely successful film. Avengers: Endgame. Although Hemsworth will continue with his character as a fourth Thor film has officially been announced. But have you watched him in movies outside of the MCU?...

Sony’s Spider-Man star Tom Holland reveals that Chris Pratt was at his side to offer support through the infamous but short-lived split between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios. The two companies briefly severed ties last summer after failing to come to terms during negotiations on a new deal, an estrangement that basically kicked Spider-Man out of the MCU and left Holland worse for wear. But all is well in the universe, as they’ve since announced having put their differences aside to continue to build on what’s been a very fruitful relationship thus far....

​Codeblocks is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for programmers and developers. It comes with predefined tools to develop Qt applications, plugins, console applications, etc. considering one has installed the required tools independently (eg- Qt development tools). Most IDEs come with “project” feature and that’s the turning point because some of them requires user to create one before proceeding any further, where in some cases programming (in schools and colleges) exercise don’t really need tedious task of creating and setting up “projects” (More to this later)....

Earlier this year, we told you about Clicker for Netflix, a macOS app designed for watching Netflix with a native Mac experience. Now, that same developer is back with Clicker for Disney+, which offers many of those features but for Disney’s new streaming service. Disney+ debuted just a few weeks ago and is already immensely popular. One annoyance for Mac users, however, is that there’s no native way to watch on macOS....

CHIPS is Warner Bros.’ latest comedic offering and the next in a trend of updating classic comedic properties for a new moviegoing audience. The movie follows Los Angeles Highway Patrol Officers on their misadventures on the job. 21 Jump Street is probably the culprit that started off this trend in 2012, with this summer’s Baywatch being another recent example. CHIPS was first introduced to pop culture in the 1970s as an NBC television show that starred Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox....

As everyone has seemingly learned from the poorly received film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats, not all musicals (and plays) are meant to be adapted to film. The medium of theater truly requires a suspension of disbelief and full cerebral participation. That makes it is hard to translate that experience to another medium. So, there is a lot to learn from Cats’ terrible performance in the box office and its response from audiences....

The WSJ has published its annual ranking of CEO pay and compensation packages for S&P 500 companies, and Apple’s Tim Cook only takes 171st place despite AAPL sitting at the top of the index by company worth. Standard and Poor’s 500 (S&P 500) ranks US companies by market capitalization, putting AAPL in first place with its value of more than 2 trillion dollars … Indeed, AAPL makes up almost 6% of the total value of the top 500 US companies, but this isn’t reflected in CEO Tim Cook’s salary and performance-related pay....
