Even though Snapchat has had a tough go at its first attempt at a wearable after reportedly losing up to $40 million, it looks like the company is pushing forward with a second generation. In a new report from Variety, a new FCC filing describes what could be Snap’s second swing at its camera focused wearable. In the filing, Snap refers to the product as a “wearable video camera” and as model “002....
Alongside the announcement of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus last year, Apple announced a new program designed at encouraging users to upgrade their device every year, as opposed to the traditional two-year cycle. At launch, the iPhone Upgrade Program was oddly only available to customers shopping in Apple Stores. Today, however, Apple has expanded the program to the online store so all customers can now take advantage of it....
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is the longest-running and most successful Marvel TV show. With five seasons under its belt, Phil Coulson and his team of agents have been everywhere and seen everything, from regular thugs and goons in America to robots, superhumans, and aliens on distant planets. Needless to say, this loveable squad has racked up a rather large list of enemies over the years. Some were easily dealt with and proved to be nothing other than distractions for the team....
Apple’s AirPods launched in 2016 and became one of the company’s best selling products in a short amount of time.

Along with the high demand for the AirPods lineup, a few other factors are setting up Apple’s fully wireless earbuds to dominate the market more than ever this holiday season....

The images, which include a watermark from one of Apple’s longtime manufacturing partners Quanta, show various mic and speaker components that look to be right for a watch-like device, but the poster adds more details in a description of the photos. According to the leak, Apple’s wearable will have a mic, speaker, Siri, and a “flexible, multi-touch screen will add a new dimension to the UI....

With AAPL share price falling 9% over the past couple of weeks, and talk about investor panic, you might think the sky was falling on iPhone sales. Some firms are even cutting their price target for AAPL in response. Yet that doesn’t seem to be the case. The Wall Street consensus estimates for the iPhone appears to be that last quarter’s sales will be up 2%, and that revenue will be up by 13%, with more to come …...
Despite being the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first foray into the world of television, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has never quite been a ratings smash. The show was initially criticized for prioritizing the ‘secret agent’ aspect of the show over the Marvel influence but this was eventually remedied with the introduction of Inhuman characters and episodes that connected to the wider MCU. The currently-running fourth season has breathed further life into the show with the addition of Ghost Rider - and although this development has largely gone down well with fans and critics, the ratings haven’t changed much as a result....
Paramount Plus is now live in Australia. And there’s no denying in saying how fast it is replacing other streaming services. The Paramount streaming service has brought a number of our favorite shows under one single roof. Hence, if you have been looking all around for that one place to watch all your favorite movies, shows, and more, perhaps Paramount+ might be the one for you. Moreover, the new service plans and their pricing seem more reasonable and competitive at the same time....
Bolstered by a great Brad Pitt performance and outstanding technical filmmaking, Ad Astra is an ambitious work that doesn’t quite hit all its marks. James Gray’s Ad Astra, which went through principal photography in 2017, is the latest in a growing line of prestige space-based dramas to come out this decade. After being delayed multiple times (due to extensive visual effects work and the Disney/Fox merger), the film finally made its world premiere this August at the 2019 Venice Film Festival and is now playing in theaters nationwide....

The After movie full trailer is released, teasing the romance of college students Tessa Young (Josephine Langford) and Hardin Scott (Hero Fiennes-Tiffin). The story of After originally started off as a work of fanfiction about One Direction member Harry Styles published by Anna Todd on the website Wattpad. However, when the fic garnered millions of views, Simon & Schuster signed Todd to a publishing deal, altered the story to change the identity of the male lead from Styles to the fictional Hardin Scott and published it as the book After....

None of them are yet set in stone, but are include some of the most frequently requested additions … More generally, users have also requested more diverse families, and people in wheelchairs....
Jony Ive retired from Apple about a year ago, following an almost 25 year tenure as head of Apple product design. At the time, it was announced that Ive would form a new independent design firm called ‘LoveFrom’ which would regard Apple as a primary client. Whilst we are still waiting for Ive’s supposed ongoing relationship with Apple to bear any fruit, today Airbnb revealed a multi-year partnership with Jony Ive and LoveFrom....
Albedon Wars needs improvement, but its early access version shows promise through its ambitious RPG elements and its clunky strategy gameplay. Card deck games have been a strong place for indie developers to go to explore strategy gameplay in different ways. Titles such as the fantastic Nowhere Prophet have shown the scope that can be found within a genre that has sometimes felt restrictive, and the latest game to go for broke through a card deck is Albedon Wars....
Alexa and Siri are always listening to our conversations and certain word usage, but should you be worried about it? Does the average person care if these assistants are eavesdropping? Is anyone on the other end of these devices listening and recording our conversations at home or on the go? The explosion in use of digital assistants like Alexa and Siri over the last few years has made life a little bit easier for many....
