Being the Apple fanboy that I am, however, I obviously had to give Apple Music a try. For the past week, I’ve been using the service as my exclusive source for music. How does it compare to Spotify? Is it enough to make me permanently switch? Read on… Prior to the launch of Apple Music, I explained the biggest hits and misses of existing streaming music services and what Apple’s service would need to succeed....

I fully expected to outright dislike the new budget-friendly 9.7-inch iPad, but it’s the type of product that’s hard to hate. Sure, it lacks the gorgeous laminated, anti-reflective display of the iPad Air 2, and sure it’s not as svelte in either thickness or weight. But there’s no denying that the 2017 iPad with A9 dual core processor in tow, is a good value. With base model storage starting at a healthy 32 GB, the new iPad is priced so reasonably that it’s almost an impulse buy for anyone previously on the fence about iOS tablets....

The G-Drive has been backing up my MacBook Pro over Firewire for the past month without a fault. It is also whisper quiet which makes the chore bearable (though frankly I’ll be going back to NAS in my basement closet backups soon). As for speed, the G-Drive isn’t as fast as a 3.5 inch desktop Firewire hard drive for fast copies (1GB takes just over 20 secs.) but fast for portable drives....

I love music. I couldn’t imagine life without it, and for something which brings me so much pleasure, I’m willing to pay for decent quality. But I’ve always said that I have mid-range ears. Give me a Bang & Olufsen system in the low single-digit thousands, or something at the bottom end of the Naim range, and I’m a very happy man. Anything beyond that is wasted on me. And, indeed, for casual listening, stereo-paired HomePods hit the spot; to me, they sound way better than they have any right to at that price level....

Tamra Judge of RHOC explained that her ex-husband’s cancer played a role in her exit. Tamra has had some serious personal issues that all contributed to her decision to say goodbye to the hit show. Judge is no stranger to being in the middle of all the drama on the Bravo show as she has grown to enjoy it and has quickly become one of the most popular of the housewives thanks to her spunky attitude....

Rian Johnson’s highly-anticipated whodunnit, Knives Out, is set to screen a week early for two nights only. Johnson’s murder mystery has been a hot topic amongst the many fall releases. Assembled in the style of an Agatha Christie novel, the film follows a private investigator who attempts to find out who murdered a popular crime novelist, with the only suspects being his extended family who had all gathered together to celebrate his birthday....

WWE announces its eight 2019 Money in the Bank ladder match participants from the Raw brand, including Ricochet, Alexa Bliss, and more. Each year, WWE puts on a quartet of pay-per-view shows that have come to be dubbed “the big four” by fans, those being WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series. From 1993 to 2002 though, there was a fifth major pay-per-view, King of the Ring, which featured the titular tournament....

Riot Games’ legal troubles don’t look like they are stopping anytime soon as plaintiffs in the case against the League of Legends developer have withdrawn their motion for the proposed $10 million gender discrimination settlement and retained new legal counsel. Recently, two California state agencies spoke out against Riot’s proposed settlement in a lawsuit centered around a well-publicized culture of discrimination against female job candidates and employees. California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing says that the proposed settlement amount was too low and that the women should be paid close to $400 million....

If there’s one thing every Apple commentator agrees on, it’s the trend of steeply rising iPhone prices over the past few years. Yet that’s only half true, shows one Apple analyst… Asymco’s Horace Dediu often likes to dig in deep to AAPL numbers, and he’s put together a comprehensive chart of iPhone prices from the original model right up to the present day. It’s not corrected for inflation. As a guide, he notes that the original iPhone, which launched at $600, would be $742 in today’s money, so the real-term curve would be a little flatter than shown....

Apple is continuing its rollout of the Apple Watch to third-party resellers, large UK electrical chain Currys/PC World now showing the Watch on its homepage as ‘Coming Soon.’ The chain is owned by Dixons, whose former CEO John Browett had a short and unpopular stint as head of retail at Apple before parting ways with the company. Apple first made the Watch available to third-party retailers in the form of Best Buy in the U....

Claire Temple may not have superpowers, but her character is the glue that holds the burgeoning Defenders together. Appearing in every Marvel/Netflix show to date, Rosario Dawson’s character is for all intents and purposes the Night Nurse of the MCU. But while she regularly patches up the various heroes running around the streets of New York, she also dispenses wisdom to the often cocky heroes. As such, she’s a vital member of the growing team and has more than earned her spot in each Marvel/Netflix show....

The dark 1957 Western Run Of The Arrow is the first Hollywood movie to use blood squib effects. Prior to the 1960s, onscreen violence tended to be somewhat tame. If a character was shot, for instance, it was taboo to show the shooter and victim in the same frame. This would be relaxed in the 1960s, where films like Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch and Bonnie And Clyde featured graphic sequences of characters being shot....

It has to be hard for a group of writers to tie in storyline after storyline and then somehow pull it all together at the end of each season. For the writers of Queen of the South on the USA Network, it hasn’t been as hard as say tying up loose ends on Pretty Little Liars. But things will change in Season 5. Season 5 of Queen of the South is set to air in June of 2020 and with the way Season 4 ended, fans are still trying to figure out where James came from and who is coming for Teresa?...

Over the years, Razer has introduced quite some quality computer hardware peripherals. Not to mention, Razer Chroma Keyboards counts at the top of them. With those attractive multicolor backlit lighting and robust keys, Razer keyboards add a special look to our computers. Similarly, the Razer Cynosa Chroma keyboard coming from the same family does a pretty good job considering its quality and functionalities. However, like any other hardware, Razer keyboards are not free from the occasional hardware/ software issues....

The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Judge said she would quit the show if her estranged daughter asked her to. The Bravo personality has always been very open about her struggles maintaining a good relationship with her daughter, but continues to hold out hope for a reconciliation. The relationship between the mother and daughter seemed to be on the mend in 2017 when Sidney invited her mother to her high school graduation....

The Tecno Camon iAir 2 Plus by Tecno is a no exception either. Anyways, it looks like that you are unable to use the device because you are facing the FRP or Factory Reset Protection Lock. If that’s you, then you are on the right page....

Chinese media outlet Economic Daily News is reporting that Apple will technically launch four new iPhone models later this year. As expected, there would be worldwide launches of the OLED 5.8-inch iPhone X successor and 6.5-inch ‘iPhone X Plus’. There would also be a 6.1-inch LCD iPhone with a single SIM tray, and a special 6.1-inch model with a dual SIM that is exclusive to China — according to the report....

We’re just days away from the introduction of the iPhone 12, and a new report from The Telegraph today highlights that customers in the UK might face issues taking advantage of the flagship 5G feature. Specifically, the iPhone 12 is unlikely to support 700MHz spectrum connectivity, which is expected to be commonly used for 5G in the UK. The iPhone 12 is expected to feature 5G support across the entire lineup, a change that Apple even teases with the “Hi, Speed” tagline for the event....
