And it was all worth it. We’re Still not Over “Under the Influence” [Roundup]: Summary of the event The event went off smoothly, and our sold-out crowd of marketers, brands, and influencers reminded us what “audience engagement” looks like in real life. But perhaps what was most gratifying was seeing the community that’s evolved around Influencer Marketing Hub in person. Google Analytics tells us we’re the number one resource for the industry, but everyone showing up and joining us for the day made it real....

Facebook’s share price took a huge hit yesterday – the biggest single-day fall for any company in history – as it revealed the impact of privacy issues. And Twitter isn’t faring too well either … Facebook was as much as 25% down in pre-market trading, and 20% down when the market re-opened. Twitter isn’t quite in the same league, but so far its share price is 16% down in the pre-market, reports CNBC....

The XMLHttpRequest object is used to send and receive data between a web browser and web server. Up to now, we have been retrieving data from data sources that remain relatively static, such as text or XML files. In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the same Ajax concepts that we have learned so far and pull data from your database. We will be using an ASP file to handle the server-side scripting and MySQL as our database....

The bell has tolled for Alfred Pennyworth. The longtime butler, guardian, and pseudo-member of the Wayne family was shockingly murdered by Bane in the pages of Batman #77, making the DC Universe a darker place as a result. For more than just the Batman family, too. While writer Tom King always hinted there might be a death in his Batman run, few suspected one of the greatest father figures in all of superhero comics would meet his maker in such brutal fashion....

The news comes just before Apple is set to launch its revamped TV experience with its fourth-generation Apple TV hardware this month. In addition to beefier internals for the new hardware, Apple is for the first time opening up the device’s app ecosystem with an iOS-like App Store that all developers can submit apps to. The new hardware, however, will launch without Apple’s much rumored TV streaming subscription service that we detailed earlier this year....

The upcoming reboot of The Grudge promises a more realistic and violent take on the iconic J-Horror franchise. Unlike the original American adaptation of the series, the new film, directed by Nicolas Pesce, ditches the PG-13 rating and goes straight for a hard R. Based on what we’ve seen in the recently released red band trailer, the new movie certainly has a grittier edge to it, with shocking moments of gore and terror that just can’t happen in with a tamer MPAA label....

In May, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo raised the idea that Apple is not planning to include its wired EarPod earbuds in the iPhone 12 box, as it has done with all previous iPhone models. Now, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives is also saying that he is hearing the same: “our checks that likely no wired EarPods will come in the iPhone 12 box/packaging”. Ultimately, this will help Apple drive sales of its wireless AirPods earbuds ever higher....

Shortly after an Apple patent for a flexible battery design suitable for the rumored iWatch was published, German site MobileGeeks has shown off a real-life example of a fully-flexible, watchstrap-sized battery from Taiwanese company ProLogium. Flexible Printed Circuits (FCP), where components are mounted on a bendable plastic substrate, have existed for several years, but until recently the batteries were the stumbling block. The patent shown by Apple still appeared to show rigid batteries mounted on an FCP....

Adobe has introduced a public beta of Audition for Mac, its professional audio toolset for recording, mixing, editing and mastering. As The Loop notes, Audition hasn’t been made available for the Mac before, the software will be shipped on both Windows and Mac OS. You can join the free public beta for Audition for Mac here. The company says the software sits on a new underlying architecture. Adobe will aim it at broadcast and audio post-production markets, presumably seeing these as areas in which Apple’s own Logic suite isn’t entrenched....

This year marks the end of an era as Marvel’s flagship television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. begins it’s seventh and final series — officially marking it as the studio’s longest-running television show thus far. Though the series initially didn’t sit well with critics or the larger Marvel fanbase, it is now praised for how it consistently reinvents itself and has a large, loyal following of fans. So it should be of no shock that as of the time writing this, the series sits at a solid 7....

With 2012’s Prometheus and its sequel, Alien: Covenant, director Ridley Scott returned to the franchise he created in 1979 with his gothic horror in space masterpiece, Alien, opening up the universe and revealing a unique connection between the titular xenomorphs and the mysterious “Space Jockey.” Appearing early into the original film, the “Pilot”, as the being was referred to by the filmmakers, was first glimpsed by the crew of the Nostromo as they responded to a strange transmission emanating from the distant moon LV-426....
