AAPL stock has reached an all-time high three days straight in the week it launched Apple Pay, with the company touching $105.49 today … The company hit triple-digits for the first time (post stock-split) in August. Analysts responding to last month’s announcements of the iPhone 6, Apple Watch and Apple Pay predicted that the stock would climb. The company subsequently out-performed both its own guidance and the most bullish of analyst estimates with its record Q4 earnings....

[SPOILERS for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4, episode 15 ‘Self Control’ ahead.] – Despite already having a midseason finale at the end of last year, last night’s episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. presented one of the show’s most intriguing and multilayered cliffhangers yet. The events of “Self Control” brought many of the season’s stories to a head, while setting up the final chunk of episodes for when the show returns in April....

Funny and relatable life situations, death metal music and adorably drawn animals with human characteristics. What more could you want in an anime? The comedy anime Aggretsuko includes all of those things. This anime is about Retsuko, a 25-year-old red panda who has a crummy job and releases her anger by singing death metal songs. There is so much to know about the main characters, but because each episode is around 15 minutes long it can be hard to pay attention to every detail about each one....

Coursera based its data on responses from nearly 2.5 million UK-based users, finding a noticeable uptick in professional certificates centered around digital jobs. While the most popular course was from Yale University and focuses on mental health, Stanford University’s machine learning course was the second most popular – and 3rd most popular in 2020.

AirPods are a joy to use on iOS devices, but when comes to the Mac, things are a bit different. With iOS, AirPods almost always automatically connect to your preferred device, but their reliability on macOS is a bit buggy. Thankfully, there’s an excellent third-party app called ‘ToothFairy’ that dramatically improves the experience of using AirPods on macOS. ToothFairy isn’t a new application – it originally launched on macOS over a year ago....

This week we got our latest look at Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated follow-up to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, in a brand new trailer that showed protagonist Daniels (Katherine Waterston) and the crew of the colony ship Covenant landing on the Engineers’ home world, where Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and the then-headless android David (Michael Fassbender) had arrived ten years prior. The crew of Shaw and David’s last ship, the USCSS Prometheus, was completely wiped out in the previous movie, but fortunately for the xenomorphs waiting on the planet down below, the Covenant is bringing plenty of new victims to play with - more than 2000 people, to be exact....

The DIGIT Act contains a detailed description of the findings of the U.S. Congress in relation to the Internet of Things. The findings are examined in more detail below. First, the Act defines the Internet of Things as “the growing number of connected and interconnected devices.” The definition is broad and may include not only Internet-connected devices, but also phone, television, and radio networks. In our opinion, the term “Internet of Things” has a narrow scope, namely, the use of the Internet for controlling, monitoring, tracking, and interconnecting everyday objects....

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has provided seemingly accurate information about previous Apple hardware releases (timing non-withstanding), claims that Apple’s much-rumored wearable wrist device will not arrive until late 2014. The analyst pinpoints production to begin sometime in the second half of the year: This timeline is notable because previous reports about the rumored device have claimed a release date sometime in late 2013. Bloomberg, a typically accurate source for technology news, previously reported that Apple is eyeing a release by the end of this year....

Cybersecurity researchers at Pradeo identified the malware, which Google has now removed from its official Android app marketplace. Before its removal, the app, called ‘Color Message’, was downloaded by more than 500,000 Android users. Advertised as an app that allowed users to personalise their default SMS messages, Color Message was a front to deliver Joker, one of the most prolific forms of Android malware. SEE: A winning strategy for cybersecurity (ZDNet special report) Once installed, the malware does three things: it simulates clicks in order to generate revenue from malicious ads; subscribes users to unwanted paid premium services to steal money and commit billing fraud; and accesses users’ contact lists and sends the information to attackers....

Apple’s earnings have just dropped and the investor call is ongoing. Whilst Apple hit the top end of expectations for the current quarter, guidance for the holiday quarter was lower than most investors expected. In an interview with Reuters, Cook blamed three factors for the cautious outlook: differences in iPhone schedule compared to last year, negative impacts from foreign exchange rates, and macroeconomic weakness in ‘select emerging markets’. With $62.9 billion in revenue for the fiscal Q4 just ended, Apple easily beat consensus revenue estimates of $61....
