As we enter the final stretch of holiday shopping this week, Apple’s AirPods are again facing supply issues. After once improving to 3-5 day delivery, and even quicker in some cases, you now won’t get them in time for Christmas if you buy straight from Apple… If you head to Apple’s Online Store, you’ll see that the company is quoting delivery in the first and second weeks of January – well past the holiday season....

It seems like the company can do little wrong, other than not being able to release more new products and get them into customers’ hands the day after they’re released. Recently, however, I told the story of my friend Kevin. He has a strong self-image. He wears fancy clothes. Yes, he’s the absolute epitome of an Apple customer. Hell Hath No Fury Like A Disappointed Apple Fan Every one of Kevin’s gadgets is Apple....

Apple, despite increasing its focus on China over the years, has faced a new wave of competition from local smartphone manufacturers that have hindered its growth in the country. One analyst doesn’t see things improving this year, either… In a note to investors obtained by CNBC today, UBS analyst Steven Milunovich explained that China’s smartphone market will likely continue to slow this year. The analyst attributes this to slowing upgrade cycles and saturation as new smartphone manufacturers enter the market....

If the Houseparty app is not working as expected, take the help of the below guide to know how to fix it. During the initial phases, there were just a handful of apps for video and group calls. However, in recent years we are seeing the entry of new apps to this domain. Among them, two of the most common ones include Zoom and the Houseparty app. The latter, although not as popular as Zoom, is climbing up the ladders....

What I don’t immediately understand is how this is going to work with my current MacBook Pro/monitor setup. It would seem that if I got a new MBP and a Thunderbolt external hard drive that the hard drive would have two Thunderbolt ports and I could daisy chain them, still using my current monitor? Or do I have to buy a new monitor that understands Thunderbolt? Anyone? Also, while we are on the subject, this new cable would allow you to put your noisy Mac Pro in a basement/closet somewhere and just run a cable up through the floor to your monitor/keyboard/trackpad/peripherals....

Rumors about an upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street movie have fans wondering where the story should go, but it would be wise for whoever produces the film to follow the lead of 2018’s Halloween and retcon the series. Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers are two of the most iconic figures in horror movie history, largely based on their exceptional first movies. Fans always want more, though, so of course there were going to be sequels....

A sci-fi/horror combo, A Quiet Place follows a family as they try to survive and live something close to a decent life after an alien invasion proved apocalyptic to humankind. These alien creatures hunt by sound, and any type of noise that isn’t muffled, concealed, or otherwise muted could potentially be a person’s last. Once detected, the aliens kill with quick and merciless precision, and it’s basically impossible to save those who end up on their radar....

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDWmwxQ_NnY] The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has put online video clips from real car crashes caused by 16-19 year old drivers using smartphones while driving. The videos, which show both the view through the windscreen and a view of the driver, are designed to make real the dangers of distracted driving. None of the crashes featured in the above clip feature injuries, but almost 3,000 people a year are killed in crashes involving drivers in this age-range, the majority of them caused by the driver being “inattentive or engaged in some other non-driving-related activity....

An adorable Baby Yoda plush toy is coming from Build-A-Bear. After a whirlwind of a first season and the initial launch of Disney’s new subscription streaming service, the Star Wars franchise has secured yet another hit with The Mandalorian. Taking place 5 years after the events of Return of the Jedi, The Mandalorian follows the adventures of a Mandalorian bounty hunter. Although the Empire has been defeated, the time period in which The Mandalorian exists is still filled with uncertainties and the series has so far proven itself to have some surprises up its sleeve....

Disney+ has a lot to offer fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but actress Adrianne Palicki is hoping for one more thing: a series based on her character, Mockingbird. Palicki first played Mockingbird/Bobbi Morse on ABC’s long-running series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. She joined the cast in season 2 episode 5, soon after co-star Nick Blood. Blood played Lance Hunter, Bobbi’s ex-husband and fellow member of S.H.I.E.L.D. The two were quickly promoted to series regulars, with fans enjoying both their characters and their chemistry together....

TUAW points out (and MacRumors concurs) that several US Apple Stores are experiencing constrained supplies of AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule wireless gadgets. Multiple sources tell MacRumors those products have been in short supplies at several locations, with “sales reps indicating that no new shipments appeared to be planned”. Insiders also tell TUAW that “some AirPort devices are either low in stock or out of stock altogether”. The publication explains:...

Ridley Scott’s Alien is a masterpiece of film that manages to successfully combine the horror and science fiction genres into a terrifying hybrid, but the space drama’s excessive violence nearly led to a much more prohibitive film rating. 1979 marked an important year for both horror and sci-fi when Ridley Scott’s ambitious Alien hit theaters. Scott’s film crafts a claustrophobic drama that both shows restraint and goes for the jugular. Alien has become a pivotal piece of cinema due to Sigourney Weaver’s portrayal of Ellen Ripley, as well as the rich world that Scott’s film creates, complete with horrendous, deadly alien creatures....

Rumors of Apple’s “iTV” set have spiraled ever since former CEO Steve Jobs told biographer Walter Isaacson that he finally “cracked the television.” Since then, many analysts and publications reported on the iTV—sometimes very inaccurately—claiming it will feature Siri and a Facetime camera for video calls built-in to a larger panel that looks like Apple’s current Thunderbolt displays (at least that’s the consensus). Analysts said Apple will announce the TV set later this year, but one analyst points out why this is not likely....
