There’s usually one star of the show when it comes to September Apple events: that year’s flagship new iPhone models. That’s usually true even in S-model years. But it wasn’t the case yesterday. The flagship new iPhones – the XS and the XS Max (I still can’t believe Apple chose that name) – were actually the least interesting things Apple presented … Of course, we’re partly responsible for that. Our leaked images somewhat spoiled the reveal, but not dramatically so in the case of the iPhones....

Parks & Recreation’s Ann Perkins and The Office’s Karen Filippelli are both played by Rashida Jones - and both characters could really be the same person. Actors jump from one TV show to another all the time, and sometimes their characters have some similarities that make fans believe they are the same character or the shows are part of the same universe; sometimes it’s done on purpose while other times it’s a mere coincidence....

You’re likely to see a greater number of personalized shopping recommendations in the Pinterest app as the company boosts its ecommerce efforts … VentureBeat reports that the ability to convert shopping catalogs into shoppable pins has now been rolled out to all businesses.

The latest to speak out on the Apple and FBI controversy is none other than President Obama who earlier today attended a talk at South by Southwest Interactive. While the talk was about “civic engagement in the 21st Century,” the conversation not surprisingly turned to the government’s role in the high-profile Apple and FBI case. Obama made it clear that he isn’t behind Apple in the case, saying that tech companies shouldn’t “take an absolutist view” on encryption and encouraging them to make concessions instead of forcing Congress to pass new law:...

Power banks are cool, but you know, they take forever to charge. I have a power bank from a company called Zoook, and I kid you not, it takes 13 hours to charge completely. The Meizu Power Bank, which is available in 10,000mAh capacity, is addressing this annoying problem. The company says that thanks to its fast-charging support, you can have an MX 5 smartphone connected to it, and still manage to get the full-charge of 10,000mAh in less than 3....

About one month ago we reported on a serious pairing issue iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus users were having with multiple Android Wear devices. In the month since, it seems that the issue has been resolved. Originally, Google confirmed that the ASUS ZenWatch 2, Moto 360 2nd Gen, Moto 360 Sport, TAG Huer Connected, and Fossil Q Founder devices were all not pairing with the iPhone 7 family. Google has contacted us today to confirm that this issue has been resolved in iOS 10....

Apple’s HomeKit seemed to be the star of the show at the Consumer Electronics Show this year, with a wide range of home-based gadgets — TVs, ceiling fans, outdoor sensors, light panels, a screen-based hub, 4K security cameras, thermostats and more — making headlines. The HomeKit ecosystem is growing, and it looks like prices may even begin inching downward as well — but that’s not enough, and not fast enough either....

One of the more polarizing films of 2013 came from the mind of Guillermo del Toro with his kaiju-fighting robots film Pacific Rim. The film set in not too distant future brought about the creation of Jaegers, robots so big and powerful that it took two people to operate them. For the first film, Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi were the primary pilots that audiences followed, but it was Idris Elba’s Stacker Pentecost that caught their attention....

Daily users of the Apple Pencil looking for an attractive way to keep it handy might want to take a look at Pad & Quill’s new offering.

Pad & Quill’s variation this year is made out of wood versus Belkin’s aluminum and offers a few additional features....

The gimmicks implemented into Pokémon Sword and Shield’s battle system this time around are known as Gigantamaxing and Dynamaxing, and the former makes the latter pointless. Dynamaxing was the first mechanic revealed for the games, and it essentially turns any Pokémon into a massive version of its original self. The mechanic received a mixed reception when it was shown because it doesn’t play with the main appeal of the games, which is form-changing through mechanics like evolution or even the temporary Mega Evolutions....

Rather than archive or delete their work, they realized they had something pretty useful and got work finding new buyers. They started selling licenses to it, and their timing couldn’t have been better. Affiliate marketing isn’t an invention of the tech world—companies have been incentivizing their customers to refer friends and family for as long as commerce has been a thing—but it did find new life on the internet when blogging took off....
