Further, data compiled by Bloomberg shows that this is the first time since December 3rd that Apple has held the title of world’s most valuable company at the close of trading. It did briefly regain the title during intraday trading several times. Apple’s stock fell sharply after it revised its holiday earnings to account for slow iPhone upgrades in certain markets. Since then, however, AAPL has moved back to the top....

While Pixar has historically dominated the Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, this film studio isn’t the only one bringing home Oscars. In fact, since the category’s creation in 2001, eight pictures from other studios including DreamWorks Animation, Studio Ghibli, Aardman, Nickelodeon, Sony, and Walt Disney Animation Studios have brought home the award Best Animated Feature Award, and this could happen again soon. While the 2020 Best Animated Feature nominees include Pixar’s Toy Story 4, the lineup also features How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, I Lost My Body, Klaus, and Missing Link....

Stuntmen and women are absolutely essential to the movie industry, filling in when required to make sure the physical parts of movies look as realistic as possible. Doing so to prevent injuries to the blockbuster stars that are in the films as well. While some of Hollywood’s elite are more than happy for their stunt double to step in whenever needed, that isn’t the case for everybody. Many actors actually like to get involved and do it all!...

Just like Apple itself is doing, many app developers are celebrating Earth Day with new apps and promotions. After Ice is a new app that uses augmented reality to simulate the effects of climate change around the world… The app officially launched in the App Store today in honor of Earth Day this weekend. The app works by simulating your location in various future scenarios of global ice melt and sea level rise....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Agents of SHIELD season 4, episode 16: ‘What If…’ - Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returned for the third distinct “pod” of season 4 and with it brought a frightening New World Order. The first pod introduced Ghost Rider to the Marvel Cinematic Universe; the second pod involved Dr. Radcliffe’s creation of the Framework, a virtual reality world not unlike The Matrix, and human-like Life Model Decoys (‘LMDs’) to replace the Agents of S....

The earbuds will come in a storage case that doubles as a charger. Users will be able to plug it in over a standard USB cable. The company has tested the headphones in black and gray colors, the people also said. Bloomberg also reiterates in today’s report that Apple is working on third-generation AirPods that feature noise cancellation and water resistance. Bloomberg previously reported on these efforts last summer. Apple released its second-generation AirPods last month with support for Hey Siri and a new H1 chip....

Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty issued a note to clients today claiming she is even more confident Apple will introduce a low-cost iPhone following a meeting with Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer. This certainly isn’t the first time we’ve heard an analyst discuss the much-rumored low-cost iPhone. Since its release, the success of the lower-priced iPad mini has been the rationale behind many analysts prediction of a less expensive iPhone expected to launch sometime later this year....

In 2018, Apple became the first publicly-traded company to hit the $1 trillion market capitalization milestone. Some analysts are now turning their attention to the next $2 trillion milestone, including Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani. In a new investor note today, Daryanani breaks down what Apple needs to do to cross the $2 trillion threshold. As first reported by Barron’s, Daryanani’s analyst note essentially focuses on Apple’s continued growth in its existing business, not that “the company suddenly jumps into some vast new market....

Using A.L.A.R.M. First download A.L.A.R.M. It’s a small utility — less than 1MB — and installation is easy. I recommend keeping all components checked during the install. After running it, you’ll have to find it in the system tray and left click it to open properties. Don’t right click, as that will close it. The interface is as simple as it can be. You can choose your own sound or leave the default one (which is pretty annoying on its own)....

A day after Apple’s iPad Pro and MacBook Air event, and one day ahead of AAPL earnings for fiscal Q4, both investors and analysts seem pretty optimistic … I noted earlier that the new MacBook Air should help further boost Apple’s average selling price for the Mac lineup, with the new iPad Pro models doing the same there. It seems investors have taken the same message from the event: at the time of writing, AAPL stock is up more than 2....

Directed by Kyle Newacheck, Murder Mystery follows Nick (Sandler) and Audrey (Aniston) Spitz, a married couple whose passion and romance have been replaced with stale conversations and predicability....

Just look at these features and tell us Apple didn’t force industry change when it introduced the MultTouch-savvy iPhone (which now accounts for one-in-forty cellphones sold worldwide, BTW). As revealed by Adobe AIR application developer, Christian Cantrell, Adobe AIR 2.0 will be the nads when it comes to smartphone and tablet device usage. And the software’s set to ship next year, we’ve learned. As Apple does already, so the Adobe app will add support for Multi-touch and gesture-based controls – though not both at once (”Applications can listen for multi-touch events, or gesture events (not both at the same time)”, the developer warns....

Adobe released version 1.4 of Photoshop Mix for iPhone and iPad today adding a new “auto crop” feature that Adobe says “analyzes images and suggests non-destructive boundaries based on the primary objects in an image.” The latest version of the photo editing app also includes the addition of Instagram as a sharing option while sharing to Facebook has been improved. The Creative Cloud-connected app can now open files directly from Lightroom, Photoshop Sketch, Illustrator Line, and Illustrator Draw as well while support for six more languages was added in the update....

When Pixar first revealed the premise of Up, some moviegoers thought the animation house was finally jumping the shark. An old man using a bunch of helium balloons to make his house take flight does sound like a crazy idea for a movie. However, this imagery is symbolic. You’re not supposed to think about the logistics of a house being flown by balloons. Pete Docter’s film is a beautiful study of grief, as Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his late wife’s lifelong dream to travel to Paradise Falls....

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for the Pennyworth season 1 finale. The season 1 finale of Pennyworth goes in a surprising direction when Alfred (Jack Bannon) sleeps with the Queen of England herself, Elizabeth II (Jessica Ellerby).

The Batman prequel series, which airs on Epix, tells the story of Batman’s butler in his younger days, and explores his relationships with Bruce Wayne’s parents, Thomas (Ben Aldridge) and Martha (Emma Paetz)....
