Windows Media Player For watching videos on Windows 10, Microsoft has introduced the modern Movies & TV app. And you may have noticed that the new default music player is Groove Music — although it did retire the Groove Music Pass streaming service in favor of Spotify. Microsoft Groove is the default modern music app to play your local music files and songs stored on OneDrive. But if you’re moving from Windows 7 to 10 and are a long-time user of Windows Media Player (WMP), don’t worry; it’s still available....

The keyboards have a major role in a smartphone because we use this for inputting anything. For instance, if we need to search for something or for texting or for composing mails (this also includes in texting, but I can’t write this post without separately mentioning this). For all these, we need a good keyboard app right? Earlier people including me hates to use the Google Keyboard because it literally doesn’t have many features....

Update: Apple tells us CNN submitted fixes for both their iPhone and iPad apps that are now live on the App Store. Security researchers at Zscaler claim to have found a security flaw in CNN’s iPhone app that exposes personal login and passwords of its users.

Even a year on, Apple’s AirPods (Best Buy, eBay) are largely unrivaled. They may look a bit funny to wear, and only come in one colour, but it’s hard to argue anyone else is close to matching Apple in the truly-wireless headphone space. AirPods are dead simple to use and intelligent enough to be helpful, without being annoying. They aren’t even expensive compared to the competition. It dawned on me that AirPods are now almost a year old....

Following Apple’s pre-announcement of a new modular Mac Pro it has in the works, there has been a lot of speculation about how Apple could implement such design changes. Will it stick with a design similar to the current cylinder, aka the trash can? Or perhaps it will return to a more classic Mac tower or box design, or something new entirely, in order to accommodate the machine’s so-called “modular” design that will allow easy upgrades for key components....

Consumer Reports took a beating for measuring the new iPad’s heat and charging non-issues under intense loads. However, it still overwhelmingly recommended Apple’s new device. The biggest downfall? Performance on the new iPad ($500 to $830) was superb in virtually every other way as well. The 5-megapixel camera took very good photos. Verizon’s 4G network yielded very fast, dependable connectivity to a 4G-compatible version of the iPad in our informal tests....

In truth, the use of cookies can be traced back to the dawn of the world wide web. In 1994, a Netscape Communications employee created them as a solution that would help make shopping carts for e-commerce stores possible. They have been widely used since then.

Although the issue was submitted to the Microsoft Security Research Center, it seems that they are not interested in fixing the problem, and it remains unresolved. This vulnerability is especially dangerous to those using virtual keyboards to enter credit card details or phone numbers. How could this affect users of IE? Even those who are using virtual keyboards for the purpose of bypassing any keyloggers are not safe, this is because the exploit tracks the movement and clicks of your mouse even when Internet Explorer is minimized....

Despite their rocky critical reception, last year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad made DC and Warner Bros. a lot of money and laid a lot of groundwork for the burgeoning DC Extended Universe. In just a few short months, Wonder Woman will headline her own film after nearly stealing the show in Batman v Superman, before the 7 are united for Justice League this summer. From there, 2018 will see Jason Momoa star as the future king of Atlantis in James Wan’s Aquaman....

Director Adam McKay is working on a Dick Cheney movie biopic - one that now boasts several A-list cast members, Christian Bale among them. McKay was once best known for his Will Ferrell and/or John C. Reilly comedies (Anchorman, Step Brothers, etc.), but the director announced his presence as a serious filmmaker with the Oscar-winning The Big Short - a form-twisting breakdown of the 2007 housing bubble implosion that manages somehow to be simultaneously informative, funny and soul-crushing....

Jason Snell has raised an interesting possibility over at Macworld: that future ARM-powered Macs might mean an end to the level of custom-build options we get at present. It’s long been thought that it’s only a matter of time before Apple ditches Intel in favor of ARM-powered Macs using Apple-designed silicon. One report suggested that might happen as early as 2020. We’ve pointed to multiple reasons to believe that it will happen sooner or later....
