21 of Australia’s 22 Apple Stores will reopen on May 7 at 10:00 a.m. following extended closures due to the coronavirus pandemic. Apple has been cautiously reopening stores around the world as local conditions permit. In an interview last week, Tim Cook noted that stores in Austria and Australia would reopen within 1-2 weeks, but did not specify exact dates. Reduced operating hours, physical distancing, and a focus on support — it’s a familiar tune....

Most of the cutscenes in Cyberpunk 2077 will be from a first-person point of view.

The studio has spent the past three years working on Cyberpunk 2077, releasing details here and there to keep gamers interested.

As highlighted by Fortune, analysts’ consensus on iPad sales for last quarter suggest that iPad sales will actually decline year-over-year by about 0.7%. Although the expected decline is small, this would represent a big shift in iPad momentum, especially since Apple saw a strong increase in sales for the holiday quarter, going from 22.9M units in the previous year to 26M this year. If iPad sales have fallen, it wouldn’t be because of different market conditions to last year....

Apple’s senior VP of retail Angela Ahrendts recently joined ABC Radio’s “No Limits with Rebecca Jarvis” show to talk about her move from Burberry to Apple, working at a tech company without being a “techie,” and more… Ahrendts explained in the interview that, during her first conversation with Tim Cook about the retail president position, she opened about the fact that she wasn’t all that in-tune with the latest and greatest technology:...

We recently showed you some of the possible innovative and or highly requested new features Apple could add in the next version of iOS. It’s unclear whether Jony Ive’s new software design responsibilities will lead to a radically new design for iOS 7, but many features of iOS are becoming more and more outdated with every slick new jailbreak tweak that gets released. One example is the lock screen—something that new jailbreak tweak Peekly aims to revamp....

With Logan currently tearing up theaters and fans already amped up for Deadpool 2, the grittier side of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men universe appears to have hit a nerve with audiences. Unsurprisingly, two of the most popular members of the antihero club are Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). Gifted with superior strength, hyper-accelerated healing abilities, and in James Howlett’s case, an adamantium skeleton and those character-defining razor-sharp claws use their powers for the betterment of humankind, for the most part....

In this all-new list, we will put forth everything we know about all the known release dates of upcoming PC games this year, 2020, by month. Like almost everything else this year, the video game industry has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of scheduled new releases have been delayed in light of the unfortunate circumstances. However, that issue seems to be resolving slowly. There are also a number of new consoles like the PlayStation 5 slated for release this year, and as a result, some of the biggest gaming titles are yet to receive release dates....

In the first couple of seasons of The Walking Dead, the only villains were the undead roaming the Earth. That seemed to be enough to keep the audience’s interest. But when that turned out to be untrue, the show started bringing in human villains. This fit in with the premise of a post-apocalyptic world in which other surviving humans are a bigger threat than zombies. Now that the show’s been on the air for almost a decade, we’ve gotten to know quite a few different villains....

ADD YOUR EVENT 5. 57 percent of paid units were sold by third-party sellers. Third-party seller share is steadily increasing. In Q2 of 2022, third-party sellers accounted for 57 percent of the total units sold. This shows only a slight increase from 56 percent in the second quarter of 2021. Nevertheless, we see a steady increase in third-party sales, with numbers climbing from 53 percent (Q2 2020) to 57 percent (Q2 2022)....

Engadget sources report that the next Echo will include multiple tweeters inside, which should result in a dramatic improvement in sound. It also seems like the device will look more like a HomePod than the current Echo, substituting hard plastic cylinder for ‘cloth-like’ rounded shell. Engadget says that this is a new version of the main Echo product, rather than a new addition to the line like the Echo Dot or Echo Show....

While a premiere date is unconfirmed, the cast of the Utopia remake appears more or less complete. Characters inspired directly from the British original are: Sasha Lane (Jessica Hyde) - A mysterious woman on the run, with a ruthless attitude and many secrets. Dan Byrd (Ian) - An mundane office worker dragged into a deadly conspiracy. Ashleigh LaThrop (Becky) - A student with a strong interest in a strange graphic novel called “The Utopia Experiments....

Seth MacFarlane’s American Dad! frequently toes the line of acceptable, much like it’s Sunday-evening partner Family Guy, another creation of MacFarlane’s that features a few more despicable characters. However, American Dad! takes the cake when it comes to awful things characters have done, largely due to the actions of Roger Smith. Roger Smith, or Roger the Alien, has resided with the Smith’s since he was rescued by Stan from Area 51....

It’s been nearly two years since the Starz adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods was on TV, and in that time there’ve been some dramatic changes behind the scenes. Those changes are, first and foremost, due to the rumored-to-be tumultuous departure of season 1 co-showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green, and the hiring of Jesse Alexander as the show’s new head writer. The loss of Fuller and Green, not to mention Gillian Anderson in the role of the new god Media, is such that the lengthy delay between seasons 1 and 2 might actually work in the show’s favor, as, unless you were one of the subscribers who partook in the late 2018 season 1 marathon, chances are the differences between Fuller’s style — particularly his penchant for surrealist visuals and heavy dream logic — and that of Alexanders won’t be quite so jarring....

With its mix of camp and horror, the ninth season of American Horror Story has given fans the series’ signature stylized, theatrical approach to scary stories. Set in 1984, the 2019 season is full of aerobics, new wave music, big hair, pastel denim, and sharp knives. The show delves into what life was like the year Richard Ramirez terrorized Southern California, as well as what a group of 20-somethings find when they decide to spend the summer as camp counselors in order to avoid the chaos in the city....

New tethering app: Yet another App Store developer has managed to sneak an app with hidden tethering functionality into the App Store.
