The report explains that while Comcast’s product will first be a set-top box itself, it’s possible it could “morph into an app” as well. Currently, Comcast offers customers its X1 platform, which includes access to streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube. X1, however, also integrates cable TV content. The new Comcast streaming TV box, which is said launch sometime next year, won’t integrate cable TV and is instead targeted towards Comcast’s broadband-only customers....

Just today we heard the latest episode in Apple’s troubled relationship with the Chinese government: it has been required to remove Skype from the local App Store following a request from the Ministry of Public Security. The stated reason was that the app ‘doesn’t comply with local law’ – which appears to be code for offering end-to-end encryption plus allowing users to open accounts without using their real name. This is just the latest clampdown by the Chinese government on its own citizens, and is far from the first time that Apple has been placed in the position of doing something which directly contravenes the company’s own values …...

There are few analysts with as good a track record as KGI’s Ming-Chi Kuo when it comes to Apple. His close links to companies in Apple’s supply-chain puts him in a good position to judge what is and isn’t on the way when it comes to new products. But having a good track record isn’t the same as being right every time, and his latest report – that the iPhone 8 will drop Touch ID altogether – seems questionable to me …...

Every idea needs solid planning when it comes to turning the same into reality. Plans are often made, modified are erased. This cannot help us to reach any conclusion. The only fact that guarantee favorable outcome is proper implementation of a plan even if it lacks something. Nothing can be as good as a smartphone when all that matter is planning. Of course, this is a useful gadget that can help....

Capturing Screenshots from Your Devices Windows There are multiple ways to capture a screenshot natively in Windows or using third-party tools. I use a mix of native functions in Windows and a third-party app. To capture the active screen in Windows, press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. If you just want to capture the active window, press Alt + Print Scrn. If you are using a laptop, you might not be able to use that command, try using Fn + Prt Scn....

Analysts believe that the computer virus which shut down several factories at TSMC – the sole supplier of Apple’s A-series chips – could delay shipments of Apple’s new iPhones. TSMC had previously said that it expected the production line shutdowns to impact Q3 revenues by 3%, suggesting a small but still significant impact on its capacity … However, the chipmaker said that it expected to have everything back online at some point today, and Reuters reports analysts suggesting that the impact on A-series chip production will be ‘limited....

During the matches attacking enemies and attacking from, there is a consistent struggle. Though all the individual character has their steady health regeneration, it is not always enough to escape annihilation.

The CW is starting 2020 big by renewing a total of 13 shows for the 2020-2021 TV season, including all the present Arrowverse shows. The beginning of each year always gets busy for TV networks as they begin looking ahead to what they are and aren’t bringing back for the next television season. With the pilot season in full swing around this time of year, network executives are already forced to start looking at what is being renewed and canceled in order to make room for new programming....

Since 2011, the Arrowverse has brought our favorite DC heroes to life on the little screen. Whether it’s getting their own show or playing a small recurring role, fans are surprised by the vast knowledge by the CW showrunners. The DCEU has tried to compete with the likes of MCU to create their own super universe. With both working with Warner Bros., were bound to get characters that make appearances on both the little and the big screen....

The smash hit DCeased comic has finally come to an end, which means it’s time for the entire DC horror series to be collected in one graphic novel format. Set to arrive later this month, what better way to celebrate Tom Taylor and Trevor Hairsine’s horror epic than by asking the question, ‘what would DCeased look like if it was actually a 1990s era, straight-to-video, B-movie zombie shlock-fest?’ The answer: as beautiful as its undead are horrifying....

Xiaomi has finally launched their new flagship line with Xiaomi 12 series; Xiaomi 12, 12X, and 12 Pro in China. All three model runs on Android 12 and sport a triple rear camera setup. Furthermore, these devices run on Xiaomi’s own customized OS skin dubbed as MIU I 13. This is highly regarded by many as among the most customizable and feature-rich skin. While all these are quite commendable, there are a few downsides to it as well....

In the dark times before special edition DVD’s or Blu-Rays, deleted scenes were something only whispered about among film fans. Trailers and extended TV versions were often the only places alternate footage could be found, yet certain sequences remained out of sight. There’s a slight danger to building hype around deleted scenes, since they were often trimmed for good reason. For example, for two decades, reports circulated of an amazing fight scene that was cut from Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, which was supposedly so incredible producers decided to save it for another movie....

Purchase data from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) suggests that the iPhone 8 is selling in smaller numbers than an ‘S’ model. The company says that the iPhone 8/Plus accounted for just 16% of all iPhone sales in the past quarter, against 24% for the iPhone 6S/Plus … It said that ‘tick’ models of the iPhone usually accounted for more than 40% of sales – even the iPhone 7, which represented a relatively small design iteration on its predecessor....

The split keyboard situation on iOS is so strange. As John Gruber rightfully calls out on Daring Fireball, the new iPad Pros simply don’t offer split keyboards. iOS limits the split keyboard to 7.9-inch, 9.7-inch, and 10.5-inch iPads. The old small iPad Pro had it; the new and pricier small iPad Pro does not. That means no split keyboard support on the arguably more portable 11-inch 2018 iPad Pro that’s thinner and lighter, and none of the three generations of 12....

The UK and other European countries are boosting the contactless payment limit, to allow more purchases to be made without the need to physically touch payment terminals… UK Finance says there were already plans in hand to increase the limit from £30 ($35) to £45 ($52), but these have now been brought forward and will apply from April 1. This is good news for those paying via Apple Pay, as it will mean you can pay for more transactions using your Apple Watch or iPhone....

The company filed paperwork with the Attorney General offices in California and Maine, notifying both that the information of 2,747 employees was involved in the attack. The pots and pans manufacturer reported more than $128 million in sales in 2021. In notification letters sent to victims, the company said the attack began “on or around October 25, 2021” and involved driver’s licenses, passports, Permanent Resident Cards and information regarding immigration status, among a host of sensitive information....

However, generating cross-network insights can be time intensive, hard-to-digest and just plain tough. In fact it ranked as the second biggest challenge facing social marketers in our 2018 Index. There’s good news though! We are excited to announce that Sprout’s Cross-Network Paid Performance Report is here to help. By working campaign-level paid data from Facebook (including Messenger), Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter as well as their associated audience networks into one report, you’ll get that time back and a few major benefits....

CVS Pharmacy has decided to disable all NFC terminals in all of its stores after it was discovered that Apple Pay would work with the hardware. CVS sent a memo to its stores, which was posted by SlashGear, saying that Apple Pay was not a supported payment type and that customers would have to choose some other payment method in order to check out. The notice also explains the reason for the change: CVS is currently part of a consortium of retailers attempted to create an alternative mobile payment method called CurrentC....
