If you’re reading this article, you already know Apple’s pre-order drill for major new releases: Apple announces a new product, says advance online orders will start at 12:01am on a specific day, and then — when most of its customers are either exhausted or groggy — re-opens its online store to a pent-up frenzy of reservations. Virtually every time, Apple’s most dedicated customers deal with delays and web site loading problems....

Now that we’ve had some time to get used to OS X Yosemite, it’s time to explore some of its top features. This is a big step up from Mavericks when it comes to iOS integration and design. Yosemite isn’t quite the drastic change we saw from iOS 6 to iOS 7, but there are definitely visual differences. It’s no surprise that iOS 8 has plenty of exciting features available, but the same can be said about OS X Yosemite as well…...

Pacific Rim: Uprising is the upcoming sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 kaiju tentpole movie. While the latter garnered much love within the geek community after it hit theaters, the second installment wound up floating around in development limbo until del Toro himself took a step back and Steven S. DeKnight (Daredevil) stepped in as director. Since that time, casting announcements have flooded in for the Pacific Rim and filming has gotten underway, resulting in set photos somewhat steadily trickling online....

Parasite is a movie rife with symbolism, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the Scholar Stone, an object lugged around by the film’s protagonist, Kim Ki-woo (Choi Woo-Shik). Ki-woo obtains this good luck charm early in the runtime of recent Best Picture winner Parasite, just before he gets the opportunity to be a tutor for the daughter of the wealthy Park family. That employment opportunity sets the entire plot into motion, which soon involves Ki-woo and his family developing new identities so that they can obtain assorted jobs working for the various members of the opulent Park family....

Fortune has flagged up a video from 2011 of an eyewitness retelling how Jobs behaved and interacted when seeing Xerox’s PARC revolutionary graphical user interface inventions for the first time. Although the video is old, it seems to have gone largely unnoticed until this week and features some interesting anecdotes about the events. According to Tesler, a PARC scientist who ended up working for Apple shortly after, Xerox came to Apple about a business development deal regarding more mundane matters like Xerox distribution....

While PewDiePie is doing great in 2023, 2017 was a troubled year for PewDiePie. He never seemed to be far away from controversy or being accused of offending somebody. Being in the spotlight affected his popularity to some extent. His channel shed 2 million subscribers before bouncing back to its current 111 million subscribers. But while a short-term loss of 2 million subscribers may have worried a more mortal YouTuber, PewDiePie is unlikely to have lost any sleep....

Currently, Wanderio is aimed at European users, but as it will exit BETA, more locations across the world will be added, without a doubt. Those residing in Europe know that flights can be cheap here, but ground transport is expensive. The user interface of the start-up is familiar to services like Hipmunk or Kayak, but it lets you enter the exact addresses, which is really cool. Wanderio plans your entire travel for cheap Wanderio uses easy-to-understand visual timelines to explain the journey you’re about to take....

Pokémon Sword & Shield have given Pokémon the power to turn into giants with the help of the new Dynamax and Gigantamax transformations and it’s possible to claim three of them straight away under certain circumstances. All players can claim a Meowth that can turn into a very long cat, while the people who enjoyed the Pokémon: Let’s Go! games can claim a bushy maned Eevee or a very chubby Pikachu....

Which of the Pokemon Sun And Moon starters are the best? Pokemon has been the ultimate time sink gaming franchise for over two decades now. The series was created back in 1995 and follows human trainers catching creatures dubbed Pokemon and training them to fight one another. What started as a simple role-playing title for the Game Boy soon blossomed into a massive multimedia franchise. The success of the Pokemon games soon led to a hit anime series and multiple toys, comics and, animated movies....

Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Sinistea and Polteageist put a Ghost-type spin on Beauty and the Beast’s talking tableware, but raising the little Chips into Mrs. Potts requires dedication and luck - especially when trying to make sure a particular Sinistea isn’t counterfeit. Yes, like many of Sword and Shield’s more unique Pokemon, catching and evolving Sinistea is rather complicated. Sinistea is far from the first Pokemon with mutliple forms or complicated evolution requirements....

When Apple acquired voice-recognition application Siri, it was fairly clear what Apple had up its sleeve. Same with Apple’s purchase of fingerprint scanner developer Authentec. Apple recently acquired motion-control-specialist PrimeSense, and we already know what Apple will likely do with those resources. But when news broke last night that Apple had acquired social data firm Topsy, the answer to what Apple would do with those resources was not so clear. Perhaps they’ll use the technology to improve iAd, Siri, big data or other social apps....

Buckingham Palace and the Queen have announced that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle will no longer have use of their “Royal Highness” titles. The decision comes a little more than a week after the couple announced they would be stepping back from their senior roles. Since the couple announced at the beginning of the month on January 8th, that they would be stepping aside from their duties as senior members of the royal family, Buckingham Palace has been trying to figure out how to fix their public relations catastrophe....

Printers are usually connected to business networks – and potentially forgotten when it comes to security – so they can easily provide an avenue of attack. Highlighting this issue is PrintNightmare, CVE-2021-34481, a Windows Print Spooler service vulnerability that permits attackers to escalate privileges to system level, which was patched in August. In addition, HP patched a separate, 16-year-old privilege escalation driver flaw in July. Also: Microsoft just revealed another Print Spooler bug Now, researchers from F-Secure have documented “Printing Shellz,” a set of vulnerabilities impacting multifunction printers (MFPs)....

If you’re a developer, you might want to check now if your Apple ID has two-step verification enabled. Apple is warning developers that the App Store Connect will no longer accept accounts that haven’t set up two-factor authentication. Accessing the Apple Developer portal already requires a valid Apple ID with the extra security options enabled, but App Store Connect still works with any account, including those protected by just a simple password....

The first Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro orders arriving to customers, and some are wondering what sort of protection options are available for the pricey new accessory. One little known detail is that AppleCare+ coverage for your iPad Pro also extends to your Magic Keyboard. The Magic Keyboard is Apple’s priciest iPad keyboard accessory yet, starting at $299 for the 11-inch iPad Pro and $349 for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Therefore, it makes sense that you’d want long-term protection for the accessory....

Mac OS X 10.6.7 update that went live yesterday hasn’t brought out any new user-centric features. However, besides fixing display flickering and lock ups on 2011 MacBook Pros, the software update did a good job of bug squashing, fixing a ton of vulnerabilities security experts discovered in Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Leopard. More than 56 vulnerabilities were patched, according to a Computeworld article. These include a vulnerability that security expert and four times Pwn2Own winner Charlie Miller “didn’t get a chance to use at the hacking contest earlier this month....

Thus the need for a beginner-friendly and widely used programming language arose. The Python programming language was the answer. This is because python is user-friendly, dynamic, portable and easy to learn. Python was created by Guido Van Rossum to be used as a language for teaching elementary programming in schools and colleges. Surprisingly this very ambitious plan laid out more than a decade ago is being realized fully through the invention of the Raspberry Pi....
