Yesterday, a reader named Lesley asked me for an update on my earlier opinion piece, “Google’s new Photos may just have won my library away from Apple.” As you may know, Apple considerably lowered its iCloud storage prices last week. Consequently, the choice between Apple’s paid and Google’s free photo syncing services has become more difficult than it was when I wrote that article. Lesley wrote, “I read your article on Google Photos possibly stealing you away from iCloud photo sync, and I would love an update to that article – if you chose to migrate, how did it go, and how is it functioning so far?...

When it comes to shows based on comic books, it is always fun for fans to watch for certain Easter eggs that show up during the episodes or the movies based on them. Sometimes, these moments are obvious to fans of the comics and other times, it takes a few episodes to realize what the Easter egg was referencing. On AMC’s Preacher, the show has veered away from the comic in many areas, including sending Arseface to Hell, changing up Cassidy’s dealings with the New Orleans vampires, and introducing Adolf Hitler into the storyline....

After a stressful year they deem “turbulent,” Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan needed a “reset” to heal. With 2020 sparking a brand new decade, the time to reflect couldn’t have come at a better time, even if they could have done without the negative experiences that inspired it. Though their union has been fairly bumpy from the get-go, 2019 wasn’t especially kind to either Harry and Meghan. As a result, they’ve been represented as rebels in the Royal Family, going so far as to upset the Queen herself and abandoning her over Christmas in exchange for spending time with Meghan’s family instead....

We heard last month that Apple has a team of around 100 people working on revamping the search functionality in the iOS App Store. If true, it’s long overdue because App Store search is a truly terrible experience. You know it, I know it, developers know it, everyone in the world knows it – except, it had always appeared, the Apple execs in charge of it. If Apple is actually going to fix App Store search so that it works, that’s excellent news....

Following speculation that Apple may be looking to acquire Sonder Keyboard, the startup yesterday confirmed to us that it has been in discussions with Apple’s procurement board. Coincidentally or not, the company’s website was not accessible at the time of writing (that may simply be yesterday’s story driving too much traffic to it, of course). Sonder was not the first company to make a keyboard with dynamically-assigned keys. Patents for the idea go back as far as the 1970s, and the first commercially-available one was the German-made LC Board in the 1980s....

When Apple first made the move into larger-screen phones with the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there was only tiny difference between them in terms of features: the larger-screened model included optical image stabilization while the smaller one didn’t. This was likely driven simply by the practicality of fitting the technology into the larger device rather than any real intention to differentiate the two devices feature-wise....

One of the areas of my HomeKit lighting setup that I ignored for a long time was outdoors. We honestly didn’t have a real need until recently when we got a new puppy. If you’ve ever had a puppy, you know that a lot of time is spent outdoors trying to train the dog to use the bathroom outside. It became clear that we didn’t have enough outdoor lightning when we were taking her out late at night and early in the morning....

Perhaps a few days ago you noticed that the Google homepage had been taken over by a giant Pacman themed logo? The fun and clever theme was in honor of Pacman’s 30th anniversary (May 22, 2010) but there is something about it a lot of people might have missed. If you waited on the page for 10-15 seconds, the logo would come to life in the form of a game....

Although simulation and management games have been a longstanding part of the gaming world, quality titles are sometimes few and far between. As an example, it’s been a fair while since there has been a good zoo simulation game. Planet Zoo aims to fill that void, and does a fantastic job at doing so. The success of Planet Zoo should not come as such a surprise, though. Planet Zoo comes from Frontier Developments, the studio behind Rollercoaster Tycoon and more recently Planet Coaster....
