With Apple expected to hold an event next month, iPad Air 3 rumors are continuing to trickle out with various degrees of reliability. The latest is yet another schematic claiming to show the upcoming iPad Air refresh courtesy of Engadget, which cites a “reliable source”. While the blueprint appears to build on existing rumors like the presence of a camera flash, Apple’s new Smart Connector, and a quad-speaker design, the illustration claims to show that the iPad Air 3 will have just barely thicker dimensions than the current 9....

I touched on my thoughts on a cellular Apple Watch 2 briefly when detailing WSJ’s report, but I want to expand a bit further and think out loud about the possibility. In short, I think an untethered Apple Watch with built-in cellular connectivity is inevitable, but in the short term there are other problems I suspect will be solved first. That’s not to say that Apple couldn’t introduce cellular and fix other issues, but having an embedded data connection is low on my list of requests this year....

Given the otherwise punishing confines of the prison walls, Orange Is The New Black is no stranger to showing some more… intimate… moments. While we do get to see a few heart-warming, long term relationships, most of the inmates are just looking for some no-strings-attached prison sex. In an ideal world, we’d have loved to see some of these hooks ups lead to something more, but we never got the chance....

Update: Here’s the official word from OtterBox regarding Touch ID compatibility: “The Preserver Series for the iPhone 5s incorporates a thin layer of a specially formulated material that allows for full functionality of the Touch ID fingerprint scanner technology while keeping the case completely sealed from water.” One of the the most well-known tough case manufacturers, OtterBox, today announced their new Preserver Series waterproof cases for the iPhone 5/5s/5c and Samsung Galaxy S4....

[tweet https://twitter.com/saurik/status/530454505994076161] Cydia creator Jay Freeman (better known as Saurik) has tweeted that the Pangu jailbreak for iOS 8.0 to 8.1 is now “stable enough” for use. We first saw a developer version of the jailbreak last month, with a user version released a week later, complete with Cydia installer. The installer is Windows-only, but it’s an untethered jailbreak, so once it’s done you won’t need to reconnect to a PC following a reboot … The jailbreak is compatible with any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch capable of running iOS 8 – which includes any iPhone from the 4s on....

The company had claimed to put the fastest multi-core processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB flash storage, had the incredibly tall task of raising $31 million been successful. Those specs sound a lot like what some Ultrabooks sport today. So, the idea is — since a phone today can be as powerful as a typical computer, it can run both type of Operating Systems — Android and Ubuntu. When used as a phone, you can use it like any other Android smartphone....

Pebble, the popular Bluetooth smartwatch that raised over $10M on Kickstarter before shipping to backers in January, today announced the release of an updated SDK and APIs that will allow iOS and Android developers to create apps for the platform. Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky had this to say about the updates: The updated Pebblekit SDK will now allow developers to create third-party apps that will be able to send and receive data to apps on the Pebble smartwatch....

During the COVID–19 pandemic, I decided that I wanted to use the time at home to invest in myself. One of the things I was challenged by in a recent episode of Business Casual was when Mark Cuban discussed the role of Artificial Intelligence in the future and recommended some tools to learn more. He mentioned some Coursera courses, so I am currently working my way through some of their AI training, but he also mentioned an AI-focused podcast called the TWIML AI Podcast that I added to my podcast subscription list....

Popular furniture company Williams-Sonoma is today joining the growing list of retailers adopting Apple’s ARKit framework. The company announced a new iOS for its Pottery Barn brand that allows users to place furniture in their home using ARKit… The new app works similar to other offerings from the likes of Ikea. You can pick a piece of furniture and virtually place a life-sized rendering in your house with augmented reality. You can choose from all sorts of Pottery Barn products and customize them by color, size, and more....

Private Instagram Stories, which are supposed to be automatically deleted after 24 hours, can remain live for an extra day – with some photos remaining on the service even longer… BuzzFeed’s piece opens with a more dramatic-sounding claim. Instagram is relying here on ‘security by obscurity’ – a URL you can’t realistically guess – which security professionals would say is bad practice. It’s not alone in this: Google Photos does something similar, though its approach is rather more secure than it might seem....

The European Union warned us this week not to expect a speedy conclusion to the long-running investigation into the legality of Apple’s tax arrangements in Europe. The delay follows a decision back in December to expand the scope of the investigation. But while the wheels of EU tax investigations may grind exceedingly slowly, I’d be willing to wager quite large sums of money on the final outcome. It looks to me increasingly clear that Apple’s tax arrangements with the Irish government are going to be declared illegal, and that Apple is going to be faced with a significant bill for unpaid tax …...

Windows users are likely already familiar with the adware that’s usually bundled with Oracle’s Java software, but for Mac users that annoyance has been mostly avoided. Unfortunately, ZDNet reports that today Oracle has updated its Java installer to include the Ask toolbar on OS X. The installation process automatically changes users’ browser homepage to the nearly useless Ask.com, which is populated by ads and mostly irrelevant results. The software also installs an Ask browser toolbar....

According to his discography page, Owl City founder and singer Adam Young is the creator of iOS 7’s sounds. While the visual design changes are most evident in the new operating system, another noticeable change is how most of the regular sounds are revamped and a slew of new ring and text tones are included. Even before Young was revealed as the creator, many noted how the sounds seemed like Owl City’s style:...

Having given my first impressions yesterday of the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro, I thought it would be at least a couple of days before I had anything more to say, but it turns out that’s not the case. Consider this partly a diary, and partly a call to arms for an iPad-specific version of iOS: padOS. I have a Wednesday evening ritual that involves working on a creative writing project for a couple of hours in a coffee shop, then heading to a nearby pub with friends....

Ron Swanson, one of the main characters in Parks and Recreation, was a libertarian who believed in small government. He was one of Leslie Knope’s closest friends, or, as he would call them, workplace proximity associates. He is most known for his libertarianism, his love of meat, and his dislike of (most) people. In spite of his libertarianism and his dislike of people, he was the director of the Pawnee Parks Department for many years before moving on to run his own business, Very Good Building Company, and finally becoming the superintendent of Pawnee National Park in the series finale....

Showtime’s upcoming Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is ramping up its casting as days after news broke that Natalie Dormer has joined the series, it has been announced that multiple Tony Award-winning actor Nathan Lane will also take on a major role. A spinoff of the London-set Victorian-era horror series, City of Angels takes place in 1938 Los Angeles, turning the series into what sounds like a noir murder mystery infused with elements of horror and Mexican folklore....

It’s no secret that The Bachelor Peter Weber is fond of former bachelorette Hannah Brown and her reality TV style. The two have a history, but Brown is still inspiring Weber to this day - so much so that Weber’s theme of vulnerability and openness mimics what Brown demonstrated during her first speech on season 15 of The Bachelorette. Fans watched as Hannah Brown looked for love on The Bachelorette, she struggled to pick between the final three contestants: Jed Wyatt, Tyler Cameron, and Peter Weber....

While Elizabeth Banks is best known as an actress, there is no denying that she’s also been successful as a producer. The second film she produced, Pitch Perfect (2012) made over 100 million dollars and was the second highest-grossing musical comedy of all time. It no longer holds that honor however, because the 2015 sequel, Pitch Perfect 2, surpassed its predecessor in five days and ended up more than doubling the gross of the first film, becoming the highest grossing musical comedy....

Plex is out with a nice update for its platform that sees free Live TV arrive for users around the world. The new ad-supported feature will include content from more than 80 channels and is available now on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android, Roku, the web, and doesn’t require a tuner or digital antenna. Plex users have enjoyed using the service to ditch cable for years by picking up a compatible tuner and antenna to watch over-the-air TV and recording it with NAS setups....
