Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel both launched earlier this year to mixed reviews, and now the company behind two of the most-funded Kickstarter projects ever is at it again.

All of the previous square watch’s functionality, and even its obnoxiously large bezels necessary for its accompanying color e-paper display, are here....

One of the aspects of Apple Podcasts that I really think is better than any other podcast app is the Browse section. I look at it on a weekly basis to see what’s new, trending, etc. I was recently looking at the top podcast list and came across Missing in Alaska. I wasn’t born until the 80s, so I had never heard of the story until now. Once I started it, I was hooked....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been dropped from mobile app stores in China. The Battle Royale title has been a worldwide sensation, but was only available in China as part of a trial run. Now, it has been replaced by Game For Peace, which is very similar to PUBG in a lot of ways. Initially, PUBG was one of the pioneers of the Battle Royale genre. Breaking sales records in its staggering upward trajectory, some did wonder whether that popularity would be sustainable and eventually PUBG did lose out to Fortnite in terms of being the biggest Battle Royale game on the market....

With the iPhone X, Apple had to redesign the top of the iOS user interface significantly to accommodate the notch in the display. Rather than just dividing the status bar in two, Apple designed and engineered a significant overhaul to status items. New icons, new animations, new transitions … with one strange exception that was seemingly left unchanged. What I am talking about is the little back button that appears in the status bar when you jump from one app to another....

Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón, and others criticize the decision to present four Oscars during commercial breaks this year. It’s no secret that the annual Academy Awards telecast has been hit by declining ratings lately. In an effort to bounce back, the Academy looked to incorporate wholesale changes and revamp the festivities for 2019.
