I’d like to think the government and NSA already have my fingerprints but they went out of business so NBD.

Following last week’s leak of a substantially complete iPhone 6S display assembly, another screen has slipped out into the wild, where it has been placed alongside and compared against the same part from the iPhone 6 (shown above at left). European part and accessory vendor MacManiack shared this image, the photos in the gallery below, and a YouTube video contrasting the components. While very few differences between the components are worth noting, the iPhone 6S part again appears to have a place for the much-rumored Force Touch/haptic feedback component introduced in the Apple Watch....

An original Apple I is being auctioned by Bonhams in New York in October, and is expected to sell for upwards of half a million dollars, reports Quirker. It has been authenticated as one of the first 50 constructed by Steve Wozniak in Steve Jobs’ garage, and is said to be fully working and in fantastic condition. The machine is believed to be one of only six original Apple I computers in working order, a previous one selling in 2013 for $671k....

The New Mutants are finally coming to theaters after years of delays, and star Anya Taylor-Joy claims the movie’s tone is “unlike any” she’s seen on film. It’s a promising tease for a movie that’s seen no less than three separate release dates since its first trailer premiered all the way back in October of 2017. Having survived multiple delays and a major studio merger, the latest installment in the X-Men franchise is now slated for an April 3rd theatrical release....

Along with a slew of other updates today, Apple has just released version 3.5 of Aperture, with notable support for iCloud photo sharing, multiple contributors to Photo Streams, and the ability to post videos to shared streams. The “Places” feature inside of Aperture has also switched to use Apple Maps, instead of relying on Google’s mapping data like it did previously. SmugMug integration has also been added, allowing those who use the service to publish and sync galleries of their photos....

Apex Legends announced earlier today that it would be adding a new rifle, named Havoc, to the popular battle royale game. The announcement was made on Twitter, and developer Respawn Entertainment has since released a trailer showcasing the new weapon in action, as the weapon went live a short while after the initial reveal was made. Apex Legends is growing faster than Fortnite, and looks to be a real contender in a genre that looked like it was going to be Epic Games’ playground for as long as that team wanted....

We usually see a couple of functioning Apple-1 computers up for sale each year and they usually net around $300,000-$600,000 depending on the condition and included accessories, manuals, software, etc. Now the latest working Apple-1 has gone up for sale with a steep price close to $2 million. This Apple-1 is said to be in “almost perfect condition” and is listed on eBay at what seems like quite the premium price of $1,750,000....

Apple does not often have or advertise sales on Boxing Day, a holiday recognized in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. On the holiday, retailers discount products similar to Black Friday in the United States. However, this year, Canadians are getting a Boxing Week sale on iTunes. As of right now, Apple is running a promotion in at least the Canadian iTunes store with a selection of 69-cent songs and albums from $5....

According to research from Chetan Sharma Consulting, the amount of text messages sent during Q3 2012 showed the first decline ever. The fall can be attributed to Apple’s iMessages (when it is up), along with other Internet services like Facebook Messaging, Skype, AIM, Google Voice and more that use Wi-Fi. With less text messages being sent monthly, this has lead to less revenue in the text message area for carriers, however, they are still making plenty of money off data....

Amy Schumer appears to have found her next movie project, in the form of I Feel Pretty. Few comedians can claim the degree of success that Schumer has been enjoying as of late. Having made a name for herself with her multiple Emmy award-winning series Inside Amy Schumer, the no-holds barred talent has been navigating a steady rise from TV to film. Although Schumer’s sense of humor isn’t necessarily for everyone, the success of Judd Apatow’s Trainwreck back in 2015 (which Schumer both headlined and wrote) proved she’s a bankable comedic star....

This article covers how this kind of malware works, the techniques used by malicious actors and how to prevent it. WhatsApp malware worm overview In general, mobile devices are not as secure as computers. The standard security protections used for workstations and servers are not in place for most mobile devices, so mobile devices may not be protected by firewalls, encryption, antivirus or endpoint detection and response. However, these devices are often connected to cloud services, business emails and other applications that put companies at risk....

So why talk about Big Launcher? My best friend’s older father. Not only is he completely technology-illiterate. He also has failing eyesight. However, he still uses three things on his phone — Voice, SMS (texting) and the Camera. To say the least, finding a phone that works for him has proved to be quite a challenge. After doing some digging around for specialized phones that match his needs, I found out two things:...

Apple is today responding to increasing antitrust pressure with an App Store PR blitz. This includes a complete revamp of its main App Store page, a new page promoting the benefits of the App Store to developers, new messaging, and a new program for developers of streaming video apps. The response begins on Apple’s homepage, with a large banner at the top pointing visitors to the new App Store page. The headline message is ‘The apps you love from a place you can trust’ …...

The biggest nightmare and headache for anyone who carries smartphones in this decade is the file transfer between them. We all knew that within a short span of time we witnessed a digital revolution across the globe, which is still moving on. Even though, file transferring between is a big issue. There are many so-called available apps or even software, which can sort this issue, but in fact, they all fail to get users a complete comfort....

Just like app developers have the ability to sell subscriptions as in-app purchases in iOS apps and Newsstand, they will soon be able to offer the same auto-renewable content through in-app purchases in Mac App Store apps. Mac apps on the latest releases of OS X already support non-subscription based in-app purchases. For example, items that are purchased once and automatically applied to a user’s account. Up until now, developers offering an auto-renewable or non-renewing subscription in their iOS apps couldn’t do the same in the Mac App Store equivalents....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons finally brings the simulation series to Nintendo Switch, with all the bells and whistles fans have come to love over the years. It continues to be one of Nintendo’s most successful series, even spawning a mobile spinoff called Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, which has made over $131 million to date. New Horizons looks to expand on the series’ mechanics even more, and provide players with even more options for customizing their dream island getaway....

Ming-Na Wen, the voice star of Disney’s animated version of Mulan, says she hopes to be a part of the live-action version from the studio. While Ming-Na had roles in such films as The Joy Luck Club and Street Fighter in the early 1990s, her voice role as the title character in Mulan in 1998 was the actress’ breakthrough role in Hollywood. Not only did voicing Mulan open the door roles for such TV series as NBC’s ER, The WB’s The Batman (where she voiced Detective Ellen Yin), and most recently, on ABC’s Agents of S....

An Anonymous Twitter account has claimed to release 28,000 PayPal account passwords, but now the link is dead and the official PayPal Twitter account says there was no attack. Apparently, PayPal was not the only targeted website – a Sky News article says that other websites were targets too. NBC sites for shows like Saturday Night Live, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and the Tonight Show With Jay Leno were hacked this weekend by a group or individual called “pyknic”....
