CBS has updated its Radio News application with support for Apple’s CarPlay interface. The new UI allows users to browse and play the network’s library of on-demand shows such as the CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes. Users will also find that the Now Playing screen presents them with their local weather conditions. Also included in the new update is a set of bug fixes for issues such as two audio tracks playing back at once for some users....

Codenamed the Odyssey Ark, this 55-inch, 16:9, deeply curved display provides a massive 4K resolution screen that is specifically designed to wrap around the user for an immersive experience, whether they’re gaming or working on spreadsheets. Samsung clearly hopes the single unit can replace double or even triple-monitor setups by using its huge amount of screen real estate to take advantage of its new “Multiview” options. This user-customizable mode can simulate multiple smaller displays across the single screen, with each virtual monitor being sized specifically to suit the program or game you’re currently running....

We told you earlier this month about the “NoteBook Case” for iPad—a bluetooth keyboard case that does a good job of turning an iPad into a MacBook-looking netbook. That case is now available in the United States and Europe through CPeel, but today we look at another impressive keyboard case currently on Kickstarter called “Brydge.” Like the NoteBook Case, the Brydge iPad case gets much of its design cues from the MacBook Pro line....

With Black Widow right around the corner and the trailers continuing to tease what we should expect from the film, plenty of fan theories have started to spread. These include everything from the plot of the movie to the deaths of characters. While some of these fan theories seem to have a very accurate element to them, other ones seem completely unfeasible. Here are five fan theories that really make sense and could actually happen and five that don’t add up at all!...

USA Network has given a straight-to-series order to Brave New World, based on the all-time classic cautionary sci-fi novel by Aldous Huxley. Efforts to bring the Huxley novel to the screen date back to 2009 when Ridley Scott was originally attached to direct a film adaptation with Leonardo DiCaprio possibly to star. In 2015, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin TV got involved, with a planned series adaptation set for Syfy. Published in 1932, Huxley’s Brave New World concerns a futuristic dystopia where genetically-perfect humans sit atop a rigid social hierarchy based on intelligence....

Bumpr is a new macOS utility that lets you easily decide which apps to use when opening URLs. The app works with both browser URLs and email composition links and makes running multiple browsers and email clients easier to manage. The utility mostly exists in the background with a small icon in your Mac’s menu bar for managing preferences and configuring settings. Bumpr becomes active when you click a URL or email link by presenting a small pop-up that lets you choose which browser to use for that specific link....

Here we will guide on how to bypass the FRP lock or remove Google account on Honor V10 (also known as View 10). FRP, popularly known as Factory Reset Protection program, is an additional data protection feature for all Android users. It was first introduced in Android 5.1 Lollipop. Supported Model Number: BKL-AL00, BKL-AL20, BKL-L04, BKL-L09, and BKL-TL10. Let’s say, you forgot Google Account ID/ password (Gmail), or you have purchased a second-hand phone either online or via some third-party source....

With Photos for OS X not being released until early next year, it seemed like there would be no way to view your photos backed up in iCloud Photo Library away from an iOS device for Mac customers. However, screenshots and error messages from iCloud.com show that a Photos app is in development for the website, so that users could access their pictures in some fashion on a computer. This will likely act as a stopgap before the official native client is ready....

Online Meeting Platforms like Zoom and Google Meet became much more popular during the Lockdown period in 2020 and 2021. After the lockdown began in 2020, we were all bound to stay at home and work from home using our devices. This is where the problem began. A corporate or a student life is mainly based on meetings, one-on-one conversations, and discussing things with colleagues. All these were stopped as we didn’t have to go to offices or schools....

Sarah Finn, the casting director for the Marvel Cinematic Universe might have the greatest eye for casting in Hollywood. There is no one more perfect for the role of Tony Stark than Robert Downey, Jr., no one more perfect for the role of Thor than Chris Hemsworth, no one more perfect for the role of Peter Quill than Chris Pratt – well, you get the picture. But arguably, of all the fine castings in the MCU, the finest has been Chris Evans in the role of Steve Rogers, a....

The high street mobile phone retailer has been warning website publishers who are members of the Tradedoubler affiliate advertising network to stop advertising the discounted models, as they’re out of stock. “Thanks to the most phenomenal response to the promotion, The Carphone Warehouse is now out of stock on the Apple iPhone,” a message from the retailer reads. “Please can you remove all reference to the iPhone promotion in your copy....

An award magnet, animation studio Pixar has spent the last few decades establishing itself as one of the all-time best sources for quality animated films, achieving a track record of excellence rivaled by only a small select few. For Pixar’s first 15 years in existence, every single one of its films managed to become a critical darling, with all but one earning upwards of 90 percent on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes....

With the Macintosh celebrating its 30th birthday today, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the notable Macs we’ve seen over the past thirty years. For each year, we’ve picked one notable machine. For some years, it was very hard to choose just one! Where prices are shown, the ‘equivalent’ price in brackets is the approximate cost of the machine in today’s money. For example, although the Macintosh 128K cost $2,495, that was the equivalent then of spending $5,600 today....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Chambers episode 5 - Netflix’s new supernatural horror series Chambers is full of strange goings-on, but perhaps few are stranger than the sudden appearance of a baby in Nancy LeFevre’s (Uma Thurman) bathroom - and if you missed an earlier bit of dialogue explaining it, you were probably very confused. The scene takes place in episode 5, “Murder on My Mind,” shortly before Nancy sits down for an uncomfortable dinner with Ben (Tony Goldwyn), Sasha (Sivan Alyra Rose) and The Annex leaders Ruth (Lili Taylor) and Evan (Matthew Rauch)....

Looks like there’s action being taken against China’s grey iProduct market. Just weeks Apple was forced to close its retail stores there as price-gougers became a high-street problem, Chinese customs have detained 14 iPad-smuggling housewives, a report claims. Customs officials in Shenzhen caught 14 housewives trying to carry 88 (presumably 3G) iPads and 340 mobile phones into China. One of the women had 65 phones strapped around her waist along with another 20 in her handbag....

Xiang Haitao, formerly living in Chesterfield, Missouri, assumed a post at Monsanto and its subsidiary, The Climate Corporation, between 2008 and 2017, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) said on Thursday. Monsanto and The Climate Corporation developed an online platform for farmers to manage field and yield information in a bid to improve land productivity. One aspect of this technology was an algorithm called the Nutrient Optimizer, which US prosecutors say was considered “a valuable trade secret and their intellectual property....

During CES this year, Chipolo unveiled a new tracker with the same Find My licensing. Aptly named, the CARD Spot was pitched as a slim, card-shaped wallet finder and sold for $35. I got a chance to test it out over the past few weeks, leaving my wallet (with the card inside) at a local park, a friend’s house, and at home, seeing just how reliable the CARD Spot was at keeping my money in check....

The Big Bang Theory is currently mid-swansong as CBS is airing its twelfth and final season. Jim Parsons, better known as Sheldon Cooper, is ready to move onto other projects, so series creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady are wrapping up their story and bringing their universally beloved characters’ journeys to an end. It doesn’t feel like twelve years ago that a beautiful, starry-eyed blonde moved in across the hall from a couple of nerds and changed their lives forever, but that’s how long it’s been....

Season 3 of Big Mouth continues with the series’ shameless references and shots at other streaming services, actors, films, and shows, even those that are also part of Netflix’s originals – like 13 Reasons Why, which they subtly mocked through a comment about suicide as part of a series’ content. Big Mouth has never been afraid to address controversial topics, whether through their stories or by name dropping other properties....

The new Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) trailer offers fans a first look at the villain Black Mask (Ewan McGregor) wearing his signature mask. When Margot Robbie made her debut as Harley Quinn in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, she quickly became a fan-favorite. The Oscar-nominated actress was nearly universally praised for her turn as the DC villainess, and Warner Bros. was quick to begin developing a number of spinoff ideas focused on Robbie’s Harley Quinn....
