With Apple equipping all its recent Macs with Thunderbolt 3 ports, using an external GPU – or eGPU – is a very convenient way to boost graphics performance. Apple already sells two of them, and it has just added a third: the Radeon RX 560 … Apple currently sells two Blackmagic eGPUs, the eGPU and eGPU Pro (review), priced at $699 and $1,199 respectively.

Renders created from claimed design leaks show a pair of 2020 iPad Pros with triple rear cameras, exactly like the module seen on the iPhone 11 Pro. They come from Steve H. McFly, aka Onleaks, who correctly rendered the iPhone 11 Pro design back in January of last year … Both photos and video (below) of the renders appear on iGeeksBlog. McFly’s track-record means the images have to be taken seriously, though there is one surprising element: the renders suggest different materials for the backs of the two models....

As the sun sets on plans to transform a historic park in Stockholm with the addition of a flagship Apple store, Apple is now looking to unload the property it planned to occupy and distance itself from the project, according to a new report from Swedish publication Fastighetsvärlden.

Apple’s ongoing fight to get control of the iPhone brand in Mexico is running into a bit of trouble, with El Universal and Electronista reporting today that a Mexican court denied “Apple’s injunction request on the grounds that the iPhone brand is too phonetically similar to iFone.” The iFone brand is owned by a Mexican telecommunications company that apparently registered its trademark in 2003—four years before Apple: It’s a possibility this could change Apple’s plans to launch the iPhone 5 this Friday on a number of Mexican carriers, but it’s more likely the company will appeal the decision or reach a settlement with iFone....

Apple’s June announcement of watchOS 2.0 created a new challenge for top Apple Watch stand and dock makers: an upcoming software feature called Nightstand Mode turns the Watch into a small-screened alarm clock when it’s taken off for charging, but only if the Watch is laying on its long edge. If the Watch is in any other position, Nightstand Mode won’t work, a limitation that many people won’t care about, but some people might accessorize to accommodate....

Rambo: Last Blood is set to close the final chapter of the long and bloody story of John Rambo. Though the series started as a relatively small thriller, it has grown into a violent and hard-hitting action series with an enormous body count.

Comic books are an enduring art form which stretches back hundreds, if not thousands of years (depending on what you count as a comic). Some of the most poignant elements of popular culture originate in comic form, from Hollywood’s current obsession with superheroes, to the ever useful Bechdel test for measuring how well a cultural product does at representing women. Being such a powerful and important art form, there’s no wonder that demand for certain pieces of comic book history, such as issues which feature the first appearance of a key character, or comics which are somehow misprinted or difficult to find, tend to be in high demand....

Many people have skipped on the opportunity to purchase one of The New York Times subscriptions in order to enjoy unlimited access to articles via smartphones, tablets and the web. I know I haven, but that didn’t stop me from fighting that paywall with a bunch of workaround solutions. Most are clunky, however, like searching for articles on Twitter, and limiting. As a result, folks generally give up upon hitting the paywall after using up their allotment of twenty articles the newspaper generously gives away each month....
