The first Harry Potter movie was released in 2001. Tastes have changed but the popularity of the franchise has not. Harry Potter was lucky because it came with a built-in worldwide fanbase. But how might the picture have fared if it was only a movie? What would have happened to the boy who lived if he was introduced to the world on-screen? And, even before that, on a movie poster?...

Another major change, and perhaps the most upsetting for comic readers, was the absence of Butcher’s dog, Terror. In the original story, Billy Butcher is constantly followed by his loyal bulldog companion, who has learned the unique trick of humping anything at his owner’s command. With little else to live for, Butcher’s bond with Terror is so strong that he’d do virtually anything to keep the dog safe. Quite brilliantly, Terror also gets involved in some the the Boys’ fights against rival superhero teams....

Notably, this is the fifth title in this series and has been launched in 2020, which is available for the Nintendo Switch Platform.

AAPL stock climbed 9.3% in one day yesterday, after earlier falls due to concern about the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on Apple’s supply chain and demand in China. Three factors likely explain the turnaround. First, investors seem to have decided that initial sell-offs were something of an over-reaction to what is likely to be a short-term problem … While there have been signs of panic, CEO Tim Cook has consistently delivered a message that he sees the impact of the virus as a purely short-term issue....

Abode, the makers of the first HomeKit security system, has released a new iOS update. It comes with some great widgets, Shortcuts support, and the ability to filter your device timelines to more quickly see what’s been going on at your home. Abode was the first mover for DIY HomeKit security systems and it still remains the best option out there. I’ve been using it myself for the last year and really love it (full review)....

The end is officially here for Adobe Flash. As previously announced, Adobe has confirmed that it will no longer provide support for Flash Player after December 31, 2020, and it will block Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning on January 12, 2021. Update January 12, 2021: Adobe has officially started blocking Flash content.

Jobs’ war on Flash video and growing iOS device line have all led up to this… [vodpod id=Video.4289468&w=650&h=425&fv=videoGUID%3D%7BFF922002-FA63-4B68-A326-EA12EC800612%7D%26amp%3Bplayerid%3D4001%26amp%3BplyMediaEnabled%3D1%26amp%3BconfigURL%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fm.wsj.net%2Fvideo-players%2F%26amp%3BautoStart%3Dfalse] Steve Jobs told the AllThingsD audience a few months ago that the reason no one including Google and Apple have been successful in the TV space is that they lacked a successful ‘Go to market TV strategy’. Apple has that strategy. They’ve been working on it since the original iPhone release three years ago....

AirPods Max officially launched this week and initial hands-on coverage is now out giving us a first look at the first premium over-ear headphones with Apple branding. It looks like sound quality is solid overall, they’re “super comfortable” with a great, sturdy build quality, and the Digital Crown offers a familiar physical control experience for Apple users. We’ve got a number of initial reviews for AirPods Max and overall it’s mostly praise for the new headphones, but with a few questions and concerns over things like the strange case Apple has included here, the weight of the headphones, lack of accessories, and how they stack up against the competition....

CNBC reports. One of the more valuable IP elements is James Bond, though as Screenrant explained last year, the situation is complicated. Back in January, it was reported that Apple had held preliminary talks about a possible acquisition of MGM. Acquiring James Bond isn’t quite as simple as just buying MGM. For starters, MGM doesn’t have sole-ownership of the franchise backlog. The studio shares those rights with a holding company called Danjaq LLC, which also holds control over future Bond films....

AmpliFi launched its first Wi-Fi 6 router last month, but it was only sold as single units. Now AmpliFi is offering an Alien bundle that includes the primary router with touchscreen and a meshpoint.

Over the weekend, Bank of America analysts released a report predicting that the flagship 5G iPhone series could be delayed by a month as another example of the COVID-19 coronavirus impact on the supply chain. Apple’s flagship iPhones usually debut in September; the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro were released on 20 September 2019. However, some models have previously launched in late October/early November (iPhone XR / iPhone X). As the production of iPhone 12 continues to be held up, the September launch window is looking increasingly unlikely....

As several reports have suggested, Apple Watch is eating into the traditional watch business. Now, analysts are predicting that demand for the Apple Watch this holiday season will eat at sales in the already-slowing traditional watch industry. As noted by MarketWatch, Citizen’s Bank explains that by charging more for its “essential tech products,” Apple is taking a larger share of discretionary spending in general. This year more than past years, Citizens Bank expects the jewelry industry to take a hit from this due to the new Apple Watch....

Hot on the heels of Reuters claiming that Apple’s low-cost iPhone will be sold for $99 comes a report from Japanese site Macotakara that states the same plus the 5S will be offered in one extra color: gold. Perhaps not the urine-colored version above – maybe a more muted bronze color like the below… We saw last month what appeared to be prototype iPhone SIMs which appeared to be a bronze (or sort of gold)-colored SIM tray along with the current silver, which also suggested it was from the 5S....

Yes, we said ‘Lamborghini’ and we did not mean a car. For, the 88 Tauri is actually a phone that has been inspired by Lamborghini’s famous car lines. We have seen geekdom and autodom collide in the past – there was a Ferrari edition of the Moto Razr 2, and Lamborghini also had a tie-up with Asus for some devices. But most of those endeavours were about a logo here, a flash of colour there and so on....

Update: 11:49 AAPL has now passed the $1T mark and is the world’s first trillion dollar company. Apple has succeeded in becoming the first public company to hit a trillion dollars … almost. Due to a recent change in the count of total available shares, Yahoo is reporting that Apple has already hit the $1tn mark. Google Finance reports Apple is at about a $950 billion market cap right now — although that isn’t completely accurate either....
