While we await Apple’s delayed cord-free, wireless AirPods, we’ve been reviewing the competition to see if they are indeed worth the wait. The $249 Skybuds are one of the latest entries, making a debut at Best Buy this month across the US. I’ve been testing them over the last couple weeks… Design The Skybuds manage to be on the smaller side compared to other cord-free earbuds I’ve tested recently— like The Bragi Dash or Sol Republic’s new Amps Air— but they are still borderline slightly bigger than I’d say is ideal for an earbud....

How do you charge iPhone 7 and listen to music at the same time? If you’re using Lightning headphones, like the new EarPods that Apple bundles in the box with iPhone 7, Belkin’s new Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar adapter is currently the only option. The company sent one over this week for us to test… With iPhone 7, Apple is transitioning users to Lightning and wireless headphone options. If you haven’t made the switch to wireless (we recommended our top picks), or you’re perhaps holding out for Apple’s new truly wireless AirPods coming out later this month, you’ll either have to use the Lightning EarPods that come with iPhone 7 (or third-party Lightning headphones), or use your old 3....

To the surprise of no one, the fitness industry is big business and gaming companies have all thrown in an attempt at taking the interactivity of games to a more physical level. Still, these often cater to a casual user and rarely appeal to gamers. Not because there’s no interest in being physically fit from avid gaming fans, but video games as a whole serve a different purpose to the core user....

People who are concerned with Rainbow Six: Siege DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks can breathe a sigh of relief, as Ubisoft has taken action. The company is now suing a website accused of selling DDoS attacks. DDoS attacks have been a major issue in gaming ever since online games became prevalent. This applies to every game in existence. World of Warcraft Classic, for instance, famously was thrown into chaos shortly after launch because of a series of sustained DDoS attacks that prevented players from accomplishing anything in-game....

Realme X2 is one of the most popular mid-budget category smartphones from Realme that has been launched in September 2019. The device gains a lot of attraction and appreciation from both the users and people. It came with Android 9.0 Pie initially and now the device is running on Android 10 over Realme UI 1.0 skin. As the Android 11 public beta is now live for Pixel devices (2nd-gen or above) and some other brands, Realme is also taking a part in this program....

The official definition of guest session goes as follow: This package adds support for starting a guest session through gdm’s flexiserver, which any already logged in user can launch. It creates a temporary guest account with a temporary home directory and some restricted privileges (such as not being able to read any home directory or do any permanent change to the system). However, you would like to disable the guest session feature for some reason....

Apple already has deals with a handful of third-party services, such as Yelp, but those deals came from Apple working on a company-by-company basis. With an SDK, any developer would be able to integrate their app with Siri. According to the report, the app developers would be responsible for ensuring that Siri connected to their app when appropriate. For instance, an app like Uber could gain integration with Siri, allowing users to request a car via Apple’s virtual assistant....

A Hong-Kong based subsidiary, FIT Hon Teng, of Taiwan-based iPhone supplier Foxconn is looking to acquire Belkin, a well-known iPhone accessory maker. Financial Times reports that the Foxconn subsidiary will be purchasing Belkin International for $866M. The announcement was made on Tuesday, and FIT will acquire Belkin by way of a merger. The acquisition of Belkin includes Linksys, Phyn and Wemo. Belkin has been well known in the Apple space, making various accessories for iPhone, iPad, and Macs, including cases, screen protectors, and even dongles for both the USB-C, and Lightning ecosystem of devices....

Another significant Resident Evil 3 remake leak has hit, this time a trove of gameplay screenshots that show off new monster designs. In addition to previously unseen looks at the game’s terrifying antagonist, Nemesis, the new images also reveal the first-ever look at the redesign of a haunting subterranean boss. The story of Resident Evil 3’s development thus far has been one defined by rumors and leaks, something that’s undoubtedly helped Capcom’s online marketing efforts more than any expensive campaign....

Google Reader is dead. We know this for certain as Google announced earlier in March that it plans to pull the plug on its RSS service on July 1, 2013. Google’s announcement caught the good people of the Internet by surprise and left us wondering, “What next?” David Smith, developer of Check the Weather and My Recipe Book, believes his new app Feed Wrangler for iOS has answered that question in a way that fixes the problem that led to Reader’s demise....

Before the Apple Watch was released, I wasn’t sure that it needed a dock or stand — the included charger would be enough, right? But after actually using the Watch, and noting that Apple included a dock with Edition models, I realized that these accessories had a functional purpose: they kept metal and metal-accented Apple Watch bands from rubbing against nightstands during charging. Some of the dock designs also looked really cool....

Here’s the Rick And Morty “To Be Fair You Have To Have A Very Hight IQ” meme explained. While Adult Swim has spawned a lot of cult shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Eric Andre Show, Rick And Morty is easily their biggest success. The show debuted in 2013, and on the surface appeared to be a Back To The Future inspired adventure about a genius scientist taking his grandson on universe hopping adventures....

Marvel started to expand the reach of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to television back in 2013 with the debut of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and has since brought three more original series to Netflix (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage). The Netflix shows have been praised, while S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to evolve and has faired better than fellow (cancelled) ABC program, Agent Carter. These titles are just the beginning, as Marvel continues to look for new shows to create and reach new audiences....

While the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus only just became available this past week, rumors surrounding next year’s flagship from Apple are already starting to surface. A pair of postings on Chinese social networking site Weibo first spotted by Macotakara claim that the iPhone 7, or whatever it may be called, will feature several design changes that are a significant departure from the past few years of iPhone releases…...

Star of The Real Housewives of Miami, Joanna Krupa, just gave birth to her first child. After becoming famous as the host of Poland’s Next Top Model, Joanna went on to have a very successful modeling and TV career. The Next Top Model judge announced in August of 2018 that she had tied the know with businessman Douglas Nunes in her native country of Poland. The former Dancing With the Stars alum - who appeared on season 9 - said that they had a very private ceremony which was small and only included close family members....

No matter how boastful spec sheet your smartphone holds, any task you do on it depends on Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi problems are one of the most disturbing issues that happen even to the best of us and are quite disturbing. This is because almost every task you do such as browsing the web, social media, watching videos and movies, or making transactions or doing business needs an internet connection. Since mobile data isn’t much reliable and doesn’t provide much stable connection, we prefer Wi-Fi to access the internet especially indoors where there is often poor network reception....

RadioShack is planning a new iPhone promotion starting tomorrow that will let new or upgrading users get an iPhone 5s at a significant discount. The 16 GB model of Apple’s latest smartphone will be available for $99, down from the usual price of $199 for all customers on AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. Customers who bring in a “eligible” iPhone 4s (which usually just means “in pretty good shape”), will also get a $100 credit towards their iPhone 5s purchase, which knocks the price down to a very manageable $0....

When it comes to Catwoman of the DC Comic universe, it’s pretty difficult to ruin the character. A cat burglar who is clever, beautiful and Batman’s match, she’s pretty much the whole package. It takes some majorly poor acting, not to mention awful writing, to render any on-screen version of Catwoman as unwatchable. Even so, there are a few versions of Catwoman that just aren’t any good. Then there are versions of Selina Kyle (and her other alter egos) that are so awesome we had a hard time it wasn’t the actual character herself, creeping out of the pages of the comics to portray herself on screen....

Ready or Not is yet another intense tactical first-person shooter that depicts a modern-day world in which swap police units are called to defuse hostile and confronting situations. It’s set against a backdrop of political and economic instability in the united states. You’re placed in the boots of a judge, an elite swap commander being tasked with diffusing tents and hostile situations in a morally bankrupt city. So there is a little bit of backstory for you to keep up with but not too much....
