Determining the D&D alignments of various characters is always fun, especially when you are doing it with such interesting and multi-dimensional shows like American Horror Story.

The lobbyist is said to have demonstrated the internal components of the smartphone to legislators and highlighting the safety risks to consumers in scenarios like a punctured lithium-ion battery....

Apple and Google created a coronavirus contact tracing API to help governments create their own apps – but an initial report suggests that take-up hasn’t been high.

Some countries have created contact tracing apps that involve huge infringements of privacy....

Ant-Man is one of the funniest characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, he’s arguably the only character whose solo movies could be classed as full-on comedies. This was mostly helped by the casting of Paul Rudd in the role of Scott Lang. Rudd has punched up the scripts for both Ant-Man movies with extra jokes alongside his Anchorman director Adam McKay, and brought improvisation to the set. But as with any MCU hero, Ant-Man has also seen his fair share of tragedy and emotional gut-punches over the years....

Some have been borrowed from earlier iPhones – like the glass back seen previously on the iPhone 4 and 4S – while others use tech first seen on competitor phones … Bloomberg has an interesting roundup of all the new features expected, and who got there first. As the site notes, Apple rarely tries to be first to market with new technology, preferring to wait until it can create the best possible implementation....

According to one analyst, Apple is facing a significant bottleneck in the production of the bezel-less iPhone 8. As the device’s front is expected to be mostly screen (and almost no bezel), the Touch ID sensor is being re-engineered.

iPad mini barely got a mention on stage last year as Apple only added Touch ID and a gold option plus 128GB models to what was in every other respect the same 7.9-inch tablet that it released in 2013. iPad mini with Retina display was renamed iPad mini 2 while the new iPad mini 3 model kept the same exact chip and specs aside from the finger print sensor. Nearly a year later the smaller tablet form factor is back with the more powerful version....
