We learned a few weeks ago that Apple would be opening a major new UK campus inside the iconic Battersea Power Station building. A developer video has now given us a sneak preview of how the $17B redevelopment will look once it is complete in 2021 – and it’s pretty spectacular. As we mentioned last time, Apple will be the main tenant of the building, which will also be home to shops, leisure facilities and luxury residential apartments …...

Adobe today has updated Lightroom for Mac, Lightroom Classic, and Lightroom for iPhone and iPad with new features based on customer requests and feedback. The Lightroom team is also sharing a preview of what’s in store for customers across 2020. On the Mac, you’ll find new export options for the DNG format. Previously, Mac users could choose between JPEG or TIFF exports. DNG support first came to Lightroom on iOS and Android....

Adobe today quietly released Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10, bringing with them new Facebook and YouTube integration, video editing and burring features, object-based search, and new color correcting and text curving and flowing effects. New Facebook features allow you to auto analyze your images to identify people and tag them based on your Facebook friends. Those tags are then carried over to Facebook when uploading from Elements. A new object-based search is one of the most impressive enhancements, allowing you to find images containing a particular object such as a house or vehicle....

Task assignments in Sprout have always been a great way to distribute actionable social messages to your team. We love hearing stories about teams using social to route inbound inquiries and chatter from the outside world into the organization – whether it be to solve a customer issue, make a sale, or to turn a casual customer into a lifetime supporter.

The Adventure Time Season 11 comic may have continued the story of Finn and Jake beyond the events of the TV finale, but it isn’t a canon continuation either. Adventure Time is an acclaimed animated series that debuted on Cartoon Network in 2010. The show is set in the Land of Ooo and follows the surreal adventures of a young boy called Finn and his shape-shifting dog Jake. Ooo is filled with all sorts of bizarre characters, from vampires to demons, and Jake and Finn frequently find themselves clashing with the Ice King....

Alita: Battle Angel is 2019’s first big-budget tentpole release, but just how much did it cost to make? After lingering in development hell for a number of years, the manga adaptation is finally set to hit the big screen, from a high-profile creative team including director Robert Rodriguez and producer James Cameron. It’s being billed as a must-see 3D cinematic event, with marketing putting an emphasis on its spectacle and visual effects....

Judging by tweets from affected users, Alexa first started experiencing connectivity issues this afternoon, but those problems were seemingly resolved for most users. Now, however, the connectivity issues have seemingly made a widespread comeback, with affected users again taking to Twitter to voice their frustrations. Earlier today, we reported that a handful of iCloud services were suffering from connectivity issues. Some 5 hours later, those issues still don’t appear to be fully resolved, at least according to Apple’s system status page....

What are the Echo Frames? First Impressions of Echo Frames I finally got my set of Echo Frames last week. My first impressions are they are pretty cheap frames. They are mostly plastic, and the frames are fat as they contain electronics. The frames don’t come with prescription lenses, so you need to take them to your optometrist to get your prescription installed. Another problem with the Echo Frames is they are only compatible with Android....

The most annoying thing about digital assistants is that you have to say a trigger word after every request, with few exceptions. Whether it be “Hey Siri”, “Ok Google”, or “Alexa”, it can become increasingly tiresome, especially if you’re trying to have a fluid conversation. While this is a step in the right direction, it does not mean that Alexa will be able to answer multiple queries at once. For example, you can’t say, “Alexa, turn off the lights and lock the front door....

Ancestors Legacy is a real-time strategy game that has made its way onto consoles after a PC release in May of 2018. The game pits four different factions from history against each other in small-scale conflicts as the player tries to take control of the map, in a manner which offers some exciting visuals and interesting gameplay, but has some issues in regards to how the game has been adapted for joypads and how well the player can control the units under their command....

Anki Drive got the ultimate endorsement last summer when Apple allowed the company to demonstrate its product on stage at its WWDC conference. For those unfamiliar, Anki Drive is a platform that allows hardware cars to be raced around a track and controlled wirelessly with an iOS device.

With today’s update, players can now take advantage of 20 new upgrade options, in addition to be able to further customize their car....

The Aegis Secure Key 3ncx is designed to provide a solution to a problem that remains common even in today’s cloud-based world: balancing convenience with security when it comes to USB keys. If we all lived in the always-connected, high-speed, cloud-based world, the ads would have us believe, USB keys would be as obsolete as floppy disks. The reality, however, is that they still have a role to play today …...

Ahead of WWDC kicking off tomorrow and the unveil of iOS 11, 32-bit applications have stopped appearing in App Store search results. This is the latest piece of evidence that suggests iOS 11 will drop support altogether for 32-bit applications when it’s unveiled next week to developers and to the general public later this fall. It was reported earlier this year that iOS 11 would drop support for 32-bit apps and iOS 10....

You can replace the PHP code on this page with any other server-side scripting languages that you are familiar with such as ASP or ASP.NET. In addition, the back-end data source does not have to be MySQL....

Disney’s 2019 remake of Aladdin makes several changes to the story originally presented in the 1992 animated film, including a very different ending to what some will expect. The 2019 reimagining from director Guy Ritchie is the latest live-action adaptation to come from Disney, following the successful retellings of Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book. In typical Disney style, they stayed very close to the beloved original movies, but also attempt to fix, flesh out, and update certain aspects....
