Apple has continued to ramp up its self-driving car testing over the last few months, and now a report from The New York Times says the company has inked a deal with Volkswagen. As part of the deal, Apple will turn Volkswagen’s T6 Transport vans into self-driving shuttles… The report explains that Apple had sought partnerships with BMW and Mercedes-Benz to develop an all-electric self-driving car, but those negotiations ultimately broke down due to Apple wanting to have control of the data and design:...

A new report from the Japanese newspaper Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun today claims that Apple is working with Sony on display technology that would be used in its reported AR headset. The headset could be announced as 2021, the report claims. The report (via Macotakara) explains that supplying the micro-display for Apple’s head-mounted display will become a “pillar of Sony’s earnings” over the coming years. The display is said to feature high image quality in a small and lightweight design:...

There are now a ton of third-party Apple Watch bands on the market of varying quality, but at $69, this alternative to Apple’s pricey stainless steel link band from Hyper is worth a closer look. The bands are made out of the same 316L stainless steel that Apple uses, and nothing about them indicates why there would be an almost $400 gap between these and Apple’s. The HyperLink bands come in silver and space black colors, and include two different designs....

Today we’re taking a look at some of the best Bluetooth earbuds on the planet. These are the Jaybird X2 earbuds and they are simply amazing. I suppose this review is a bit backwards as I’ve just given you the verdict here, but let me tell you why these are so great… First up, let’s get into the box. The packaging is very similar to its predecessor, the BlueBuds X. Opening up the side flap will reveal the headphones and accessories....

I’ve recently been testing the brand new Synology DS-216+ NAS ($299), a network-attached-storage product meant for consumers. Although Synology products include a variety of features, I will be focusing on two primary functions that I consider most essential and most useful to people today: Mac backup and home media management (TV shows and movies). With Apple no longer shipping optical drives in most of their products, I think now is a great time to convert your home movie collection of DVDs and Blu-rays to digital files, which a NAS is great for storing....

It was somewhat inevitable Keith David would end up voicing a character on Rick And Morty, so here’s a guide to his guest appearances. Dan Harmon made a name for himself with cult sitcom Community, but arguably his most famous creation is Adult Swim’s Rick And Morty.

Rick And Morty manages to blend cool sci-fi concepts and countless movie references - including everything from The Purge to The Lawnmower Man - with some surprisingly deep characters....

The $10 million gender discrimination settlement put forth by League of Legends developer Riot Games has been rejected by new legal counsel for the victims in the case.

The original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was a groundbreaking show when it originally premiered in 2003. The reboot, simply titled Queer Eye, keeps the feel while embracing the gender revolution that’s happened in the twenty years since the original show’s premiere. While the original series focused on the revolutionary idea of gay men making over straight men, the reboot embraces both inner and outer beauty and visits the homes of men, women, and gender non-conforming people all across the country....

The original Charmed was such a successful show for several reasons. Not only did we get to see strong female leading characters and the bonds of sisterhood, but we also got to see the Charmed Ones take on a different demon every episode. While every being to rise out of the depths of the fiery Underworld challenged the sisters in some way, there were a few demons that were far worse than others....

According to a report from Nikkei Asian Review, Apple could face supply shortages of the iPhone 7 at launch as the publication claims Apple suppliers are facing low yield rates for certain components. The report mentions “defects in the waterproof speaker and dual-camera module,” hardware rumored to be included in the next iPhone, as main reasons for analysts recently lowering expectations for the device. Apple may need to contend with a supply shortage of the soon-to-be-released new model of its iPhone during the first round of the rollout, due to problems with faulty components… “If Apple sticks to its launch schedule from last year, there may not be enough supply at the beginning, as some suppliers are still trying to fix low yield rates of their components,” an industry source familiar with the issue said....

The market of counterfeit Apple products has been well documented in the past, with offerings ranging from knockoff AirPods to deceivingly well-designed Apple Watch clones. Now, a new report from Motherboard examines a counterfeit iPhone X purchased for $100… Right off the bat, in terms of design, the counterfeit iPhone X largely resembles one you’d buy from an Apple Store: The packaging is also eerily similar, with the same “Designed by Apple in California” branding and a paper insert explaining how to use Face ID....

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker introduced an apparently new Force Heal power - but it actually made its debut in The Clone Wars. Every Star Wars movie expands the lore, introducing new Jedi and Sith powers, and The Rise of Skywalker was no different.
