Apple began its full assault on education when it launched the iPad a few years ago. The iPad offers students apps and books that are used in the classroom to help students raise their test scores. While it is still on the way to seeing a larger adoption, Apple also introduced iBooks in January to help more in education, but how effective is the iPad in student learning? To put some numbers behind the education work Apple is doing, The Loop profiled a report based off a study done throughout a Maine school district that indicated the iPad is improving kindergartner’s literacy scores....
Product: For the past week I’ve been using the Justin Case (Ultra-Slim) Rechargeable Power Case for the iPad. Essentially, the case is a folio-style cover for the iPad 2, 3, or 4 that includes a massive 11,600 mAh battery built into the cover which you can use to charge your iPad, iPhone, iPod, or pretty much any other portable device. The case also functions as a stand for your iPad....

Design The Koncert Boomstation is a very simple device. The majority of the speaker is a matte, soft plastic, which doesn’t show fingerprints or scratches. It feels extremely high quality and sturdy, without any bending or creaking. Over the front, you’ll find a pressed metal grille for the speakers. The top of the speaker has 3 clicky control buttons for adjusting the volume/track or for playing and pausing/phone operations. I’ll talk more about this later....
Writer-director Rian Johnson warns viewers should NOT watch the new Knives Out movie trailer if they want to go into the film completely fresh. Early in his career as a filmmaker, Johnson cut his teeth on the kind of twisty mystery crime thriller that Knives Out promises to be. With movies like Brick, Looper and The Brothers Bloom under his belt, Johnson graduated to the likes of big blockbuster franchise moviemaking with Disney and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi....
A new game called Broomstick League is coming to Steam next month and it has taken some obvious inspirations from both Rocket League and Harry Potter. Both franchises have very little in common, but Broomstick League seems to have combined the two together in a game that seems equal parts ridiculous and intriguing. One of the most interesting side stories of the Harry Potter series is Harry’s experience as a Quidditch player....
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgx4k83zzc] If Qualcomm seemed rather taken by surprise by Apple’s use of a 64-bit chip in a smartphone, first dismissing it as a gimmick and then hastily backtracking and announcing it would be making 64-bit smartphone chips itself, that’s because it was, says Dan Lyons in a nicely-written piece on HubSpot. The piece includes what has to be a strong contender for tech quote of the year: The reference is to a scene in the 1984 mockumentary This is Spinal Tap where the band proudly shows an amp that goes all the way up to 11, explaining that “it’s one louder....

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Girardi is officially returning to the new season, despite rumors that claimed otherwise. Bravoholics can now rejoice that the singer will be back to keep things real with the other, often unbalanced ladies. The “It’s Expensive To Be Me” singer joined the popular franchise during the show’s sixth season. She found fame with her music performing as her alter ego Erika Jayne and became a fast-rising star in the LGBTQ community....
It would seem that the Mac App Store, a central -but not exclusive- online repository for Mac software, has renewed the interest amongst game developers for the Mac platform. Perhaps it is the hype, maybe it is due to Apple’s marketing, or the iCloud allure, or lower app prices, or the sheer size and convenience of an Apple-branded distribution channel. Nevertheless, evidently, more triple-As have become available on the Mac these days – good news for gaming aficionados....
If you have tattooed wrists and are thinking about ordering an Apple Watch, you may want to try one first. A Reddit thread is reporting that the watch can fail to read heartbeats, or even fail to detect skin contact at all, on some people with heavily-tattooed wrists. This has been backed-up by some Twitter users. The issue isn’t affecting everyone with tattoos, and reports seem to suggest that solid areas of darker inks – like red and black – and most likely to be affected....
. MacRumors points to a WeiPhone.com forum thread [Google translation] this morning that purports to show details of a new iMac. The poster’s brother-in-law apparently works in the factory that builds the new Macs, and he snapped the above picture on his cell phone. The design was verified by iFixit to be similar to the internals of a current iMac with the plastic radio-transparent circle on the rear. On the iMac, the poster says:...
On Wednesday, May 29, 2013, Apple very discretely killed off the fourth-generation iPod touch. WWDC 2013 would take place just 11 days later, on June 10. At the conference, Apple would unveil iOS 7, a complete redesign of the operating system. One thing conveniently omitted from the update? Fourth-generation iPod touch support. When Apple discontinued the fourth-generation iPod touch, the company replaced it with a new camera-less version of the fifth-generation model....

The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Christian Bale will not star at Steve Jobs in the upcoming biopic: Just last month, the film’s writer Aaron Sorkin had stated that Bale would star as the Apple co-founder in the movie as Bale was “best actor on the board in a certain age range.” Sources say Bale, after much deliberation and conflicting feelings, came to the conclusion he was not right for the part and decided to withdraw....
