Apple regularly acquires small companies and startups and we usually don’t hear anything about most of them. Tim Cook detailed that back in 2019 as the company was acquiring companies at a rate of one every two or three weeks. Now details have surfaced that Israeli AR and computer vision company Camerai was one of the small firms purchased by Apple in 2019. Reported by Calcalist (via TechCrunch) Camerai, formerly Tipit was picked up by Apple in the tens of millions of dollars range back in early 2019 and was integrated with the company’s computer vision team....

Repressed’s strong art style and promise of interesting and unique puzzles is undermined by dull, empty moments and too much use of trial and error. Indie developers have often used platformers to try and tell interesting stories. Games such as Braid (with that stunning twist ending) and Thomas Was Alone have been able to create impactful storytelling experiences, calling on genres and play styles that have sometimes been forgotten in the AAA space....

Capcom’s upcoming Resident Evil 3 remake is removing Live Selection, a timed decision-making system that many fans fondly remember from the original. Last month, Capcom revealed that the new release of Resident Evil 3 would also cut the original’s Mercenaries mode, which put players in fast-paced scenarios in the role of a mercenary trying to escape a stage as quickly as possible. The cut content isn’t going to be the only change to the new version of Resident Evil 3....

Written by Travis Tucker First off, let me just say this is by far the best and most intuitive amp modeling iOS apps that I have seen to date. If you know how to move and manipulate the app layout of your iPhone/iPad, you will be up and running on JamUp in no time. The app has five main sections: Amp/FX, preset, songs, sampler, and tuner. The Amp/FX section is what you would expect....

I love the concept of streaming music around the home. There are a lot of great wireless Bluetooth speakers for wireless music on the move, but it’s still unclear what to choose for a static home environment. Apple’s answer is AirPlay, but it has flaws: no multi-room support from iOS devices, limited adoption by speaker manufacturers, and spotty reliability at best. I’ve been trying an AirPlay alternative, called Play-Fi, which is a competing industry technology for home Wi-Fi music streaming from DTS....

Regular readers will know I’m a big fan of Scrivener, having used the app to write three novels, two novellas and a travel guide. But when I accidentally found myself working on a screenplay for a comedy series, I thought I’d try the industry-standard software for the job: Final Draft. Final Draft comes highly recommended, used by all the top studios and praised by such screenwriting talents as Aaron Sorkin, James Cameron, JJ Abrams, Sofia Coppola and more....

A forum poster with a reputable history on WeiPhone.com [Google translate] (via MacRumors) claims to have information about an upcoming MacBook/Air refresh. According to this source, the new model will sport a 12-inch design close to the current 11.6-inch model, but will feature significant internal differences. The updated MacBook will reportedly not have a fan, will feature a Retina display, and redesigned trackpad. This new trackpad will ditch the mechanical button that has been in the multi-touch trackpads since they first debuted....

The Apple Watch 2 may not have a cellular option after all, according to a new Bloomberg report. Back in April, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was considering the option for cellular connectivity in the next Apple Watch version — something that I wasn’t sure the watch needed yet — but today’s report says the company has “hit roadblocks in making major changes that would connect its Watch to cellular networks and make it less dependent on the iPhone....

Google launched its much-awaited Pixel 6a model as a mid-budget segment smartphone in the market a couple of months ago. Though it’s currently one of the popular Android devices under the $500 price tag to compete with Samsung and other Chinese smartphones, it seems that some critics have found the on-screen fingerprint sensor recognition issue. Some reports are claiming that Google Pixel 6a Fingerprint Scanner Unlocks even with Unregistered Fingers....

A report by the Post-IDFA Alliance shows that two weeks after the release of iOS 14.5, advertisers have started spending more on the Android platform. This alliance combines data provided by Liftoff, AdColony, Fyber, Singular, and Vungle. This is the first report about the impact of App Tracking Transparency policies introduced with iOS 14.5 in April. According to the report, which collected data from April 26 to May 9, only 36....

Although initial reviews of Apple’s new Retina iPad mini bemoaned its cost but praised its display, a slew of more hands-on reviews have realized a notably narrower color gamut (same as the non-Retina iPad mini) compared to other popular tablets including the iPad Air and Nexus 7. While it may not be immediately noticeable to many consumers, it’s certainly a fine, in-depth critique when investing in what you expect to be the best tablet on the market....

With its Retina display, unmatched ecosystem of HD video content, and AirPlay streaming capabilities, the iPad is undeniably one of the best experiences for watching video on a mobile device. The one glaring omission from Apple’s recipe for the perfect mobile video experience, however, is the absence of quality, front-facing speakers. The result is a sound experience that doesn’t quite live up to HD content on the iPad’s best in class Retina display....

After discontinuing the smaller 21.5-inch UltraFine Display, LG has released a new larger 24-inch UltraFine-labeled monitor in its place at the same $699 price point. If the launch of the new display flew under your radar, that’s probably because much of the spotlight was centered on Apple’s new 2019 MacBook Pro models, which launched alongside LG’s new display. This new UltraFine Display is like a combination of the UltraFine 5K and the older UltraFine 4K Display, and for the most part that’s an okay thing....

As 2014 comes to a close, there aren’t a lot of iPad Air 2-specific cases on the market, and some developers are already taking shortcuts — cutting extra holes in old iPad Air cases — just to get “iPad Air 1+2” products out. So when new cases are supposedly tailored just for the iPad Air 2, I’m interested in seeing how well they actually fit and protect Apple’s latest tablet, even if their designs are otherwise highly familiar....

A beautiful new weather app called Weather Line launched this morning in the App Store. Weather Line is designed for iOS 7, and it adopts the updated design language and icons introduced in iOS 7’s native Weather app. The app is also compatible with iOS 6 for those using older devices like the iPhone 3GS or fourth-generation iPod touch. It provides a much deeper level of detail than you’ll find in the default Weather app....

Clint Eastwood’s controversial Oscar-hopeful Richard Jewell hits theaters this weekend - here’s a guide to the cast and characters. Richard Jewell features an all-star cast that includes two Oscar-winners and a star with an uncanny resemblance to the real-life subject. Directed by Clint Eastwood, the film tells the story of the eponymous Richard Jewell, a low-level security guard who discovers a bomb at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. At first hailed a hero, Jewell soon becomes the subject of the FBI’s investigation into the attack....
