Last month Google released a 64-bit version of the Chrome browser for OS X on its developer channel. However, this version of the app has not yet been made available to the general public.

That means that any 32-bit plugins built on the Netscape Plugin API will no longer function until they are updated for 64-bit systems....

A supply chain report out of Taiwan claims that Apple is facing significant yield problems with the 3D sensors used in the TrueDepth camera module of the iPhone X.

PUBG Corporation announced today that cross network play between the Playstation 4 and Xbox One systems is coming to PlayerUnknown’s BATTLEGROUNDS. PUBG was one of the first games to utilize the battle royale mechanic that’s since become a widespread gaming phenomenon, and remains one of the most well-known representatives of the genre, even as the popularity of EA’s Apex Legends and Epic Games’ Fortnite continues to grow. By allowing cross network play between PS4 and Xbox One, which in theory effectively doubles the available player base, PUBG Corporation hopes to reduce loading and wait times before matches and create what they call a “more unified” PUBG experience across all platforms....

. Interesting exit interview with Intel CEO Paul Otellini wherein he says (duh) he regrets not trying harder not to get his chips inside the iPhone (and subsequently iPod touch and iPads). While there seems to be some sentiment that if Otellini had tried, Intel would have won Apple’s iOS device business. But, it clearly isn’t that simple. ARM chips use an order of magnitude less power than Intel chips, even to this day....

Jean-Ralphio wasn’t the most liked person by fellow citizens of Pawnee but he was undoubtedly a fan-favorite among viewers....

The term “phishing” actually originated from the word fishing because the manner of attack defined by the term resembled fishing ever since its early invention. Namely, the criminal sets a particular “bait” (he impersonates a legitimate bank or other legitimate website such as PayPal or Facebook and requests that you enter sensitive data by pretending that you have to validate, verify, update your account or that there was suspicious activity so you have to “prove” that you are the owner of the account, etc…) to different users of the vast sea of the Internet, extracts the personal information given voluntarily (in most cases) by the ones that took the bait and uses it to commit malicious acts, whether it be identity theft, credit card fraud, or something else....

Piercing is a stylish exercise in retro horror-thriller filmmaking, but its stabs (no pun intended) at something deeper are mostly ineffective. Following his feature debut on 2016’s acclaimed (if polarizing) The Eyes of My Mother, writer/director Nicolas Pesce is back with another horror film in the shape of Piercing. An adaptation of the 1994 novel by Ryû Murakami, the movie premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and further establishes Pesce as a storyteller with a talent for creating dread - albeit, this time with a healthy dose of grim humor, for good measure....
