Picture by Gabor Cselle While Apple already recognized in its support documents for Thunderbolt that the new Retina MacBook Pro supports up to three external displays (as pictured above from Other World Computing’s recent tests of the setup), it has yet to confirm official support for the refreshed Ivy Bridge MacBook Airs. Today, we get word that the new MacBook Airs indeed support two external Thunderbolt displays thanks to the recent “Mac OS X Lion Update (Mid-2012 MacBook Air)” update that “improves external display support....

A major update to the Twitter app, rolling out from today, puts far greater emphasis on photos and video – both in terms of your feed, and your own ability to share. Initially rumored to be a separate app, Twitter has instead boosted the role of imagery in the main app … Twitter hasn’t historically made it easy to take photos or video from within the app. You had to open the Twitter app, click the compose button, find the camera button, take the video or picture, then click on the tweet button....

Apple’s smart home standard, HomeKit, is gradually picking up steam as more accessory manufacturers get on board. However, the availability of HomeKit accessories is still much smaller outside of the US. For smart lightning, bulbs like Philips Hue are great for a quick-and-easy way to add HomeKit into your home, but ideally you want to make your light switches themselves smart. Lutron Caseta has been available in the US for some time....

Sonos and IKEA’s home decor meets smart speaker collaboration has an interesting challenge: will it blend? Not in the squeeze-it-in-a-blender sense; will it blend in with your home and fit your taste? Like sound, design preference is highly subjective. What’s not is just how versatile the new SYMFONISK lineup can be. Sonos and IKEA have bundled a Play:1 level Wi-Fi speaker inside a table lamp and bookshelf end cap. Useful features and attractive prices make both speakers worth considering even if you’re not in the Sonos ecosystem....

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker finally reveals the truth about Rey - and here’s her full story. Star Wars is a generational saga, and each generation has its own champion. The prequel trilogy is best understood as the age of Anakin Skywalker, the original trilogy allows his son Luke Skywalker to stand tall, and the sequel trilogy is really all about Rey....

Clint Eastwood’s latest strong-armed production, Richard Jewell, tells the true story of the security guard who saved thousands of lives at the 1996 Summer Olympics, only to be vilified by the press and the FBI as the investigation’s prime subject – but how reliable is the film in telling what actually happened, and how much did it change? I, Tonya and BlacKkKlansman actor Paul Walter Hauser stars as the titular Jewell: an overly-ambitious, wannabe police officer whose social oddities make him the perfect target for a government agency that wants quick results, and the media machine that wants a story....

Adult Swim’s acclaimed animated series Rick and Morty will return for its season 4 premiere in November 2019, it has been announced. Created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, Rick and Morty debuted in 2013 and immediately garnered a loyal following among fans who fell in love with its twisted take on animated science fiction. Centered on the dimension-hopping adventures of mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his hapless grandson Morty (both voiced by Roiland), the show features wildly imaginative storytelling, bizarre characters and sometimes profoundly dark humor straight from the mind of the ever-warped Harmon....

Nomura analyst Richard Windsor has warned clients that Research In Motion is struggling to develop the touch interface for use within its forthcoming ‘iPhone killer’, the BlackBerry Thunder. The analyst says the implementation even lags behind Nokia (who we think themselves are trailing Apple on touch controls). “Those who have handled prototypes complain of poor typing, unresponsive keys, bugs in the user interface cause by touch as well as accelerometer issues,” Windsor said, as reported by MarketWatch....

Lucasfilm has released two new videos that highlight some of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’s many easter eggs. There are a lot of exciting developments happening in the world of Star Wars. After a ten year break between Revenge of the Sith and The Force Awakens, the movies are now coming once a year; every two years the main story - which began all the way back in 1977 - gets a new chapter, and in the years between audiences are shown a glimpse of other stories which happened “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away....

Roku streaming devices gained the Apple TV app last month for viewing Apple TV+ shows as well as content from HBO, Showtime, and other Apple TV Channels.

Regé-Jean Page is best known for his role in the History Channel’s 2016 remake of Roots, but what other shows and films has the British-Zimbabwean actor been in? The original Roots miniseries aired in 1977 on ABC and was based on the novel Roots: The Saga Of An American Family by writer Alex Haley. The series tells the tale of Kunta Kinte (The West Wing’s John Amos) – a young man abducted from his Gambian village and sold into slavery in the U....

2016 was a rough year for a lot of people, but for Sony Pictures, it was especially dreadful. The company’s only high-profile successes were The Angry Birds Movie ($350 million worldwide) and Mei Ren Yu, a.ka. The Mermaid (which did $554 million worldwide, but only $3 million domestically). Ghostbusters and The Magnificent Seven failed to validate their inflated budgets and Passengers didn’t fare much better. While smaller projects like The Shallows and Sausage Party managed to turn a profit, it wasn’t enough to prevent the company from treading water at best....

Jonathan Van Ness has high hopes for his Queer Eye co-star Karamo Brown as he competes on season 28 of Dancing with the Stars. Jonathan thinks his co-star, Karamo, has a real shot at winning the show. Queer Eye, which was a reboot of the 2003 show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, has been going strong for the last five seasons on Netflix. The Fab Five consists of food and wine specialist Antoni Porowski, interior designer Bobby Berk, grooming consultant Jonathan Van Ness, fashion designer Tan France and culture expert Karamo Brown....

Rambo: Last Blood is set to be the character’s final chapter, but an earlier draft shows the story could have been much better. Rocky and Rambo are the two characters that define Sylvester Stallone’s career, and they’ve evolved in interesting ways. Stallone both wrote and starred in Rocky which launched his career, but it wasn’t until the success of 1982’s First Blood - where he was the eleventh choice for the lead - that he became a true movie star....

The Rdio music streaming service is preparing to release an updated version of its mobile app later today will place a new focus on its free “stations” feature as competitors like Spotify, Pandora, and Apple’s one-two punch of iTunes Radio and Beats Music crank up the pressure on the service. Rdio claims its free music library is as much as fifteen times bigger than those of competing apps. Like other online radio services, the new Rdio will automatically create playlists and stations from that library based on a user’s music preferences....

That’s a very reasonable question to ask, one that others have asked as well. As Kubernetes is evolving and becoming more complex with each iteration, and the options for deployment on the cloud are proliferating, fine-tuning application deployment and operation is becoming ever more difficult. That’s the bad news. The good news is, we have now reached a point where Kubernetes has been around for a while, and tons of applications have used it throughout its lifetime....
