Apple has for some time now been touting the iPad as a PC replacement device for many people. Steve Jobs way back in 2010 used the cars and trucks analogy, arguing that while some would always need the power of a Mac, many would be able to do everything they needed on an iPad. Tim Cook suggested that day had arrived in 2015, asking ‘why would you buy a PC any more’ – before clarifying that he meant Windows PCs, not Macs....

If you’ve ever needed to record a podcast with other people, you probably know Call Recorder for Skype — which, as the name suggests, is a popular Mac app that lets users record conferences on Skype. Unfortunately, the app is being discontinued and will no longer be updated, mainly affecting users with M1 Macs. As reported by Jason Snell, Ecamm Network (the company behind Call Recorder for Skype) has confirmed that the app will no longer get any updates from now on....

Last week potential Republican Presidential Candidate Jeb Bush made headlines when he was spotted wearing an Apple Watch on the still-exploring-but-definitely-running campaign trail, using the press opportunity as a chance to dish out the zinger that its health apps were better than Obamacare. The White House has given its own endorsement of Apple today, however, as President Obama launched his own personal Twitter account (not to be confused with the OFA-ran @BarackObama account) with a tweet that originated from an iPhone....

Prince Harry’s old Army friends are calling him “selfless” and “loving” even after he stepped down as a senior royal. The band of brothers has chosen to stick by each other’s side through the transition period with the monarchy. The prince has not had many allies since he and his wife, Meghan Markle announced on January 8th that they would be stepping aside from the royal family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex went on to say that they would like to become financially independent as well as split their time between the United Kingdom and Canada....

Why did The Princess Bride never get a sequel? Directed by Rob Reiner, and based upon William Goldman’s 1973 novel of the same name, The Princess Bride was a critical hit yet only a modest box-office success upon release in 1987. Nonetheless, its enduring popularity as a novel and a film have long inspired talk of a sequel, if only because Goldman considered writing one. The original novel of The Princess Bride was presented as being the “good parts” of a longer story by S....

Pure said the FlashArray//XL is already resonating with customers that want to standardize their storage environments with Pure’s subscription model but needed higher levels of scale. Previously, retiring their last remaining Dell EMC systems “would’ve required multiple FlashArray//X90s, and that just wasn’t price competitive,” Dan Kogan, VP of product management and product marketing for Pure Storage, said to ZDNet. “Now, there’s really no level of scale we can’t cover,” he said....

Prior to WWDC, there were reports and analyst predictions that Apple would eventually ship its own version of Google Glass as an AR accessory. Then Apple introduced ARKit as a tool to help developers create augmented reality experiences through iOS apps starting with iOS 11. Now what was previously a rather wild rumor is starting to make more sense… Bloomberg had a detailed report on Apple’s plans for AR as well as smart glasses earlier this year saying that augmented reality features would come first to the iPhone then later through smart glasses....

When Parks and Recreation first premiered, the critics dismissed it as a pale imitation of The Office. However, over the years, it grew into its own beast, and that’s mostly thanks to its lead character, Leslie Knope. After the first season struggled to characterize her, she went on to become one of the small screen’s greatest feminist icons. Leslie spent most of the series married to Ben, so she didn’t date an awful lot of guys over the course of the show....

We’ve seen the Apple Pencil being well received by high-profile artists even before launch, but I’ve so far seen little on what pen guys think of it. The Pen Addict filled in the gap with a review in which Myke Hurley said that it provided the digital handwriting experience he’d been waiting for. Sure, I like to doodle and scribble as much as the next person, but all I wanted to know was if the Apple Pencil would give me the digital handwriting experience I had wanted for so long....

On Friday Google officially announced new changes to their Picasa storage policy. These changes affect all users, regardless of if you have paid for extra storage or not. From now on, any photos that you have uploaded that “are 800 pixels or smaller and videos that are 15 minutes or less in length no longer count” towards your storage limit. Now you have a new place to host your Twitter media files!...

Google regularly updates its Pixel phones with software updates. This is one of the main advantages of having a Google Pixel. The monthly security updates that Google sends also contain bug fixes, improvements, and sometimes new features. However, recent software updates to Google Pixels have turned out to be the worst updates Google has ever released. The December update was nothing but a disaster for Google Pixel owners. It came along with a truckload of bugs, whose repercussions are even being faced today on many Google Pixel phones....

The update to Pocket Casts comes after it was acquired in May by podcast publishers including NPR, WNYC Studios, and WBEZ / This American Life. The goal of today’s update, the company says, is to “deliver a more premium experience” and to make “podcast listening easier than ever before....

Reuters reports that a group of Wintek employees that were poisoned during the manufacture of Apple products by the N-Hexane cleaners that their company used are making a direct appeal to Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Apple noted that Wintek had used the chemical in its yearly Supplier Responsibility Progress Report and the company had discontinued its use. Apple declined to comment on the workers’ letter and referred a reporter back to its supplier report....

Proving to the world that the esports scene can be wholesome, this year’s incredibly young winner of the Pokémon Oceania International Championship’s Junior Division has shown everyone that pro players can be as adorable as they are skilled. Simone Lim of Singapore is one of the youngest champions in her league’s history, and her excellent sportsmanship and perseverance suggest that her esports career is just beginning. This week, professional Fortnite player and streaming sensation Ninja spurred a fairly divided conversation about anger’s role in competitive gaming that likely further imprinted the stereotypical image of the irritable, toxic gamer into onlookers’ minds....

Successfully airing for seven seasons, Pretty Little Liars won over their fanbase early on with two mystery questions: What really happened to Alison? and Who’s “A?” Over seven seasons, the show slowly explained who had been there the night Alison disappeared and what had actually occurred. While the night is revealed to the main characters from various points of view, eventually, enough of the pieces connect to make a rough picture as to what had happened....
