However, it’s interesting to note that Photo Viewer is no longer included in Windows 10. So, if you do a clean install, you’re not going to find Photo Viewer. The only way to keep it is to do an upgrade to Windows 10 from an existing version. Replace Photo Viewer in Windows 10 The screenshots below, both show the same version of Windows 10, one is upgraded from a previous version, and the second is a clean install....
I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t sell a premium dock for iOS devices. There’s such an attention to detail when it comes to product design at Apple, yet they continue to sell a dinky plastic dock for select devices. I’ve never been a fan of these plastic docks and have been in search of something with a little more class for a while now. Recently, I came across Gravitas from Henge Docks....
Eventually, pocket-sized cameras will compare in low-light performance to today’s large and expensive DSLRs. Although pro photographers will have moved on by then to even more powerful large cameras, the vast majority of people will see no need to carry big, heavy lenses and camera bodies around. The iPhone’s ascendance demonstrates that “eventually” is at least foreseeable, even though it’s not happening in the near term. Serious photographers won’t be giving up their DSLRs any time soon, and in fact will be toting plenty of camera hardware — many times, along with a laptop — to any event or destination important enough to photograph properly....
If you’re looking for the best iPhone case ever made, look no further. When it comes to iPhone cases I’ve tried just about all of them: Protective cases from companies like Otterbox, Lifeproof, and HardCandy, super-slim cases that add barely any bulk to the device, wallet cases for holding cash and cards, and just about everything in between. It’s true I’ve long preferred the look and feel of the naked iPhone in my hand opposed to a case, but I’ve now found a case that truly does the Jony Ive-designed hardware inside justice....

Ring Protect is based on the same idea as the Nest Protect, offering an effective, easy to install and use modern security system....
Despite a healthy showing over the extended Christmas weekend, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker still trails The Last Jedi at the box office. After receiving mixed reviews from critics, Rise of Skywalker posted the lowest opening in the sequel trilogy, grossing $176 million in its first three days. While that was clearly one of the highest debuts of 2019, the figure was still disappointing, considering The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi both easily cleared $200 million in their respective first weekends, and The Rise of Skywalker was billed as a premier cinematic event for the holiday season....
Some actors start off big, only to kind of fade away for a little while, before coming back strong later in their careers. Linda Cardellini is one such actor, who rose to fame at a very young age, after starring in a number of teen-oriented films and series’, and is now back in the mainstream viewer’s eye. Linda has been a great player in the films she’s been seen in, and has predominantly been cast as a supporting actress, one who elevates the film’s potential and the cast’s performance as well....
Subscription music service Rdio announced today that it’s completely overhauling how stations work through the service. While stations and the player get a refresh with new endless station types to pick from, the big new feature is something Rdio calls “You FM”: The new player will let users “vote on individual songs, tune stations towards familiar or adventurous sounds, and pivot stations based on favorite tracks” in order to fine tune stations....

Never mind the iPad’s lack of USB and SDcard slots, how about a serial port? Our younger readers are now probably going like, “a serial what?”, but those of you that have been around for a while sure have fond memories of the romantic pre-USB era of computing when we connected peripherals like mice, keyboards and printers to our computers using the then ubiquitous nine-pin serial port. Well, a new accessory connects your modern-age iOS portable gear to old-school devices utilizing the serial interface....
A significant percentage of the world’s internet traffic passes through facilities in Loudoun County, Virginia, the heart of Data Center Alley. The growth is continuing in 2022. “At least seven new players are planning to enter the Northern Virginia data center market in the next several years,” Data Center Frontier reported. Energy consumption in this small area is growing at 10% per year. Greenpeace estimated the potential electricity demand of both existing data centers and those under development in Virginia to be approaching 4....
Time was, walking into an Apple Retail store, or talking on the phone with an Apple customer support person really felt like gaining some access to someone closer to the company than myself, in a good way. At times I would be surprised that people in the store seemed to know the product better than I did. On a support call, individuals seemed fairly enthusiastic about whatever was going on with the product....

This past spring, Apple was implicated along with other US brands like Nike, Dell, and more for having its supply chain allegedly involved with forced labor of the Muslim Uyghurs in Chinese factories. Now a new report from The Information says that Apple has paid to lobby Congress around legislation having to do US companies that could have connections with slave labor in China. After the initial allegations were made back in March, Apple shared this statement:...
In the age of $1,000 iPhones and $250 AirPods, Beats Flex wireless headphones for $49 almost sound too good to be true. In reality, they’re actually improved versions of BeatsX headphones that were priced at $150 three years ago. Here’s what you need to know about Beats Flex, the latest headphones to use Apple’s wireless chip technology. BeatsX, more or less If you’ve ever used BeatsX wireless headphones, you’ll feel right at home with Beats Flex....
Four years ago, I wondered why Apple sold such seemingly simple plastic docks for $29, so I cut two of them in half to see what was inside. I was impressed: in addition to a larger-than-expected collection of electronic components, they were filled with substantial zinc plates that kept Apple’s devices standing safely upright, no easy feat since the docks kept shrinking every year. The only problem: most (but not all) of Apple’s docks have been model-specific and case-unfriendly, issues that were particularly pronounced in the official iPhone 5s Dock and iPhone 5c Dock....
There are a lot of places you can store your files these days. There’s the Documents folder on your Mac, of course, but there’s also Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft’s Skydrive and more. And, of course, everyone has their favorite storage service. Some people prefer one over the other, and it’s up to you to make sure you can keep them all straight. To the cloud! I store a lot of files in a lot of different places....

The new Sonos Play:5 (2nd gen, $499) has since launched in stores and Apple Music streaming will be supported from December 15th. I’ve spent a few weeks testing a pair of new Play:5 speakers to see how it performs....
