The latest report from comScore shows Apple continuing to shine as the top smartphone manufacturer in the United States owning 40.7% of smartphone subscribers at the end of the August quarter. This marks a 1.5 point jump from the three months leading up to the end of the May quarter when Apple owned 39.2% of the same space. It’s worth noting this increase took place during the months without an announcement of new hardware as the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c were both announced and made available during September, although discounted hardware with third-party retailers could have been a factor closer to August....

Conan usually has some pretty good comedy after new Apple products and events, and the iPhone X is no different. The late night host this evening debuted a brief segment featuring a question and answer session with a fake Craig Federighi (see: hair). In the past, Conan has poked fun at Apple’s AirPods, the iPhone 6 bendgate, and more. This one continues the comedy with a crowd asking a slew of different “questions” about Face ID, including whether it works on dead people’s heads, sleeping people, and more....

. Steve Jobs’ favorite analytics company, Flurry, has some interesting numbers that put app usage above web usage. Yeah but those devices have web browsers… Today, however, a new platform shift is taking place. In 2011, for the first time, smartphone and tablet shipments exceed those of desktop and notebook shipments (source: Mary Meeker, KPCB, see slide 7). This move means a new generation of consumers expects their smartphones and tablets to come with instant broadband connectively so they, too, can connect to the Internet....

Last year, Bumblebee became one of the highest-rated blockbuster movies, and much of that is owed to screenwriter Christina Hodson, who shepherded the Transformers prequel story alongside director Travis Knight that united the franchise’s most famous robot with a teenage girl, Charlie, played by Hailee Steinfeld. Set in 1987 - 30 years prior to the events of Michael Bay’s first Transformers movie - Bumblebee sees the eponymous Autobot, Bumblebee, leave Cybertron and land on Earth....

Having an app that can clone hard drives can come in handy quite often. Especially if you’re like me, and add new components to your Desktop PC. Just recently, I got a brand new HDD, which will be replacing my old external one. The question was how can I copy all of my data without losing generated thumbnails, hidden files and other valuable data?

Community had a pretty wild run on television. The comedy about an unlikely group of friends at a community college avoided numerous cancellations, survived behind the scenes drama, and continued after a network change. It was kept alive through all of this because of the show’s loyal fans. But even those fans might have a hard time looking back on some of the more dated jokes. Community embraced a weird and often dark sense of humor which would sometimes lead them into uncomfortable territory....

It is common for web developers to include some type of component to help figure out what type of browser and version of the browser is being used by the visitor while accessing your website. In some cases, you may simply want to target Internet Explorer (IE) browsers or specific versions of IE browsers. You can accomplish this using different techniques, but implementing Conditional Comments is an easy way to detect IE versions 5-9....

Yesterday there were a few claims going around that Apple’s recent change to Gatekeeper app signing for developers was the result of a Dev Center security breach. TUAW reported yesterday on a few random tweets and others picked up the story. As you’d probably expect, we have some good news: It’s not true… We’ve now confirmed with sources close to the situation that there is no truth to the rumors and that a Dev Center breach was not the reason behind the Gatekeeper app signing changes....

Daemon X Machina makes the player feel like a futuristic mech pilot, but they can never escape a dull story that keeps interrupting the action. Daemon X Machina is a third-person shooter that puts the player in the seat of a powerful mech as they slice and shoot through hordes of enemy robots. Daemon X Machina has incredible fast-paced action set in one of the most vibrant worlds to ever appear on the Nintendo Switch, but the mech battles are always held by a lackluster story that never stops butting in on the player’s fun....

Surprising news out of DC Comics, with widespread reports that co-publisher Dan DiDio is no longer with the company.

Here’s why Dave Chappelle’s new Netflix special, Sticks & Stones, has courted such controversy. In his latest stand-up set for the streaming service, the famous American comedian takes aim at cancel culture, taboo subjects, and politically correct language. Now, controversy is nothing new for Chappelle. He emerged during the ’90s as a stand-up comedian and film actor, but made his name from 2003 to 2006 with the provocative Comedy Central series Chappelle’s Show established its titular star as a well-known figure in American pop culture....

Apple makes beautiful videos to unveil its new products on stage these days, but that wasn’t always the case. Due to the limitations of technology, products like the Original Macintosh never had a super 3D introduction — although the “1984” ad is quite emblematic. Now Thibaut Crepelle has created a video to show what the Macintosh introduction would look like in 2021. Crepelle, a motion designer, decided that he wanted to create cool animations for vintage products, and he believes that the 1984 Macintosh was the perfect product for this (via The Loop)....

There are few actors with the range that Christopher Walken has. Not many actors could appear in the Vietnam War epic The Deer Hunter and the Adam Sandler comedy Click. Not many actors could appear in the neo-noir crime thriller True Romance and Saturday Night Live’s “More Cowbell” sketch. Walken has played all kinds of roles – cops, criminals, soldiers, an ape, an ant etc. – for all kinds of directors, including Quentin Tarantino, Michael Cinimo, Tim Burton, and Steven Spielberg....

The collision domain applies to wireless networks. However, it also affects earlier versions of Ethernet. A collision happens when two separate devices simultaneously send a packet on the commonly shared network segment. The packets collide, and both devices require sending the packets again. That helps you to reduce network efficiency. This Domain contains all devices which can reach each other at the data link layer with the help of broadcast....
