Lots of companies promise HomeKit support for existing products then fail to follow through for one reason or another, but Netgear’s Arlo has proven to be an exception to that trend. After promising HomeKit support for its Arlo Baby Camera line, Netgear has released an app update that makes the baby monitor cameras work with Apple HomeKit. Color me impressed! The update process is super easy for Arlo Baby Camera’s already set up....

If you’ve never heard of neumorphism, you’re not alone. One of the visual changes in macOS Big Sur to have attracted a lot of comment is what some have suggested is a partial return to skeuomorphism: icons designed to look like real-world objects. It is, some have argued, Apple coming full circle: from 3D to flat and now back to 3D. But Jack Koloskus, lead designer for Input and The Outline, says that Apple is moving forwards, not backward…...

Netflix today has updated its iOS app with a handful of new features and enhancements. The update bumps the app to version 8.0 and includes auto-play support for iPhone users, 3D Touch support, and iPad Pro display optimization. First off, the update brings what Netflix calls the “post-play experience” to iPhone users. This is the screen you see when you finish watching a TV or movie with recommendations for what to watch next and, if it’s a series, the support for auto-playing the next episode....

Almost a year ago, a comment by Tim Cook suggested that he had experienced using an Apple Pencil on an iPhone. Patently Apple later spotted a series of patents describing just this, and two more have been published today … The site noted that the language is clear. Although an iPhone screen may be small for drawing, iOS 11 adds the ability to use the Pencil to markup webpages, emails, screenshots and more – and of course it can also be used for taking handwritten notes....

Not only are the Beats Solo3 the first pair of headphones to ship with Apple’s new W1 wireless chip, which allows for seamless pairing and switching between Apple devices, but they feature a whopping 40 hours of battery life between charges. Be sure to read our full Beats Solo3 hands-on review for a first-hand account of my experience. I know the Beats brand isn’t necessarily synonymous with quality around audiophile circles, but I feel like these headphones are worth a serious look....

Designed with delivery in mind, the new Nuro can carry more goods and enable more deliveries, with twice the cargo volume of the company’s current vehicle. The automotive production-grade vehicle will also feature modular inserts to customize storage and new temperature-controlled compartments to keep goods warm or cool and safety enhancements to further improve safety for pedestrians outside the vehicle....

The latest Terminator: Dark Fate box office projections are lower than originally anticipated, pointing to an opening worse than Terminator Salvation. Despite the property seeing continuously diminishing returns following the highs of Judgment Day in 1991, Hollywood refuses to let the franchise die. Both Salvation and 2015’s Terminator Genisys were intended to launch a new trilogy, but those films performed so poorly commercially, the planned sequels were scrapped. Once again, an attempt is being made to revive Terminator, this time with original creator James Cameron in tow as producer....

At first glance, the main characters of NCIS would seem to all be morally lawful or good and the criminals to be morally evil and/or chaotic according to Dungeons and Dragons’ moral alignments. For any well-written character, alignments are not as simple as law enforcement being, well, lawful, or criminals being evil. The same is true for the main characters of NCIS. Some of the characters are actually more neutral than good or lawful, which can be seen when looking at an individual character’s actions and personalities alongside their chosen livelihood....

Netflix’s The Politician has a rich cast of characters, filled with both newcomers and familiar faces, so we’ve put together a Who’s-Who of Saint Sebastian High School. The show stars Ben Platt as Payton Hobart, the adopted son of a wealthy family who has already plotted out his path to becoming President of the United States - a path that begins with him winning the election for Student Body President....

The full trailer for Netflix’s new series What/If welcomes Renée Zellweger to her first starring role in a television series, as she offers co-star Jane Levy an indecent proposal. The streaming giant offered a brief sneak peek and a premiere date announcement just last week, with a teaser trailer that didn’t deliver any actual footage from the show, but instead opted to hint at the concept with one heavy metaphor. The result is a broadcast network-style drama on a streaming platform, with an Academy Award winner in the lead role....

Netflix’s new show The Witcher has been in very high demand despite bad reviews. Releasing just a week ago on December 20th, the eight-episode season 1 is an adaptation covering part of the first book in the The Witcher series from Polish fantasy author Andrzej Sapkowski. It stars Henry Cavill, also known as Superman in Man of Steel, as Geralt of Rivia, the titular Witcher, a genetically altered human trained to hunt down the dangerous and magical monsters of the world....

Spectre and Meltdown — bugs created by a major security flaw in Intel and ARM chips — are back in the news today. Both Microsoft and Apple issued patches, but a new exploit has been discovered… The good news for Mac owners is that this one only applies to Windows — but it means Mac owners need to take action if they also run Windows on the machine. Security company Bitdefender revealed the issue at the Black Hat security conference yesterday, reports Tom’s Guide....

NBC is ordering a slew of new comedy pilots from writers behind 30 Rock and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The older of these shows, 30 Rock ran on NBC from 2006 to 2013 and centered around writers and producers (and production executives) at NBC itself, which has its studios in the Comcast Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan. It had a strong cast mostly centered around Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon and Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy as head writer and network executive respectively, as they try to manage the chaotic talent of Tracy Jordan (played by Tracy Morgan)....

Yesterday’s report from The Wall Street Journal said that NBC is not involved in negotiations for the new Apple subscription television service due to a “falling-out” between Comcast and Apple, which likely affected Apple’s planned mid-2014 launch of new Apple TV hardware, software, and services. Despite this falling out, it appears that NBC executives still want NBC on the Apple TV regardless of whether it’s included in the $30-$40 service. According to the source, the NBC Apple TV application currently in the works will function similarly to other content apps on the current Apple TV model....

Roma has become the first Netflix movie to be added to the Criterion Collection’s prestigious roster of films. Director Alfonso Cuarón’s low budget black and white drama scored big at the 2018 Academy Awards, bringing in 3 Oscars. The film, which Cuarón shot, wrote and directed in his native Mexico, tells a semi-biographical tale about growing up in Mexico City’s middle-class Colonia Roma neighborhood. Roma focuses in particular on a live-in maid, Cleodegaria “Cleo” Gutiérrez, who becomes a vital part of her employer family’s dynamic after their father walks out on them....

Thanks to a brand new feature, Netflix users can now see the streaming service’s most popular shows and movies in a new daily Top 10 row. As the streaming wars continue to heat up, many companies need to find new and improved ways to stand out from the crowd.

A new Star Wars LEGO set will allow people to build and program their own droids. Along with the Force, lightsabers, and the Millennium Falcon, droids are among the most iconic elements of the entire franchise. As many will recall, none other than C-3PO and R2-D2 served as audiences’ gateway into the galaxy far, far away, kickstarting the original film with their daring escape off the Tantive IV. Since then, droids have been a series staple; Artoo and Threepio will be the only characters to appear in all nine episodes of the Skywalker saga, and the likes of BB-8, K-2SO, and L3-37 continue the Star Wars droid legacy....
