The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance sports an absolutely massive cast, employing a diverse group of actors and puppeteers to bring the many creatures of Thra to life. Netflix’s Age of Resistance is a prequel to 1982’s The Dark Crystal, a dark fantasy film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz that still impresses with its incredible puppetry and practical effects. Set years before the events of the original film, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance sees three Gelfling uncover a horrible secret about their ruling lords, the Skeksis....

Lord of the Flies and Lost are the two most obvious influences on Netflix’s YA series The Society, an ambitious new drama from Party of Five creator Christopher Keyser. The series wears its influences on its sleeve, sending a high school’s worth of teens to a strange, unexplained purgatory, where they’re free from parents and schoolteachers and the authority and structure they provide. Unsurprisingly, that freedom comes with a cost, as many of the teens descend into lawlessness, forming insular cliques and dishing out “justice” as they see fit....

A new banner image for the upcoming live-action Aladdin remake spotlights the cast. The wildly popular Oscar-winning animated film has managed to maintain its pop-culture fame over the years, particularly as a result of the late Robin Williams and his magical performance as the voice of Genie. With Disney’s ongoing efforts to revive their most popular animated films as live-action features, Aladdin seemed ripe for the picking. Co-written and directed by Guy Ritchie, the film is setting out to conquer box-offices and audiences alike as it retells the Aladdin story that first made its mark with the 1992 animated release....

Captain Marvel’s brand new TV spot unveils Annette Bening’s second character, and she appears to have some history with Carol Danvers (Brie Larson). The seasoned actress herself recently confirmed that she’s playing Supreme Intelligence in the upcoming Marvel Studios flick, but she seems to be portraying another role other than the Kree leader.

Two new sets of images claiming to show the upcoming design of the so-called iPhone 8 due out later this year have shown up in Chinese social media today. Both show the edge-to-edge display and vertical dual camera design as seen in previous schematics and dummy units, and the latest images show how the iPhone 8 could look in various colors… The top image seen above appears to show the Touch ID finger print sensor located on the rear side of the iPhone just under the Apple logo....

Following the introduction of Apple’s new iWork apps at its iPad Air event earlier this week, an increasing number of users have taken to Apple’s support forums to voice concerns over the removal of features as the apps receive new simplified user interfaces that bring them more in line with the iOS versions. Several pages of complaints from users in Apple’s forums point out that many features, those mostly used by power users, have been removed from Apple’s new redesigned version of Pages:...

Besides the new MacBook Air line, which we just revealed, Apple will also drop an upgraded Mac mini line. These new Mac minis will likely retain their currently aluminum unibody design but will pack faster processors and more hard drive space. In addition, the new LED Cinema Display – now called the “Apple Thunderbolt Display” – will debut this week. These new displays will have an optional VESA mount. The new Mac minis:...

Supposedly the upcoming iPod touch is confirmed to be carrying a back-camera and this is something we are all pretty certain about. The brand-new details unearthed tonight are a completely new back coming to the iPod touch. This back will lose the contour curvature from recent generations and revert back to something similar to first generation iPod touch design. (Remember: This follows what our sources told us back in early July) Think of the lid of a MacBook Pro; the direct top/center of the lid is completely flat but the sides are slightly curved....

Last October we showed you an impressive iWatch concept based on Nike’s Fuel Band device. The mockup was quite impressive as it appears modern and sleek and mirrors a design Apple could produce, but commenters were quick to point out the orientation of the display wasn’t fit for primetime. UI designer Todd Hamilton picked up on this and decided to iterate on that concept while solving the orientation problem: The result is quite nice as it maintains the same function as the previous wearable concept while iterating a step further on usability....

Apple’s new Mac mini and iMac lines will feature price-points that are similar to those of their current models (depending on country). The three Mac mini models will likely be priced at the same $599, $799, and $999 for the two standard models and single server model, respectively. The new iMacs will also feature similar or same pricing as the current iMacs, but the top 27-inch and 21.5-inch models may feature slightly cheaper pricing in some countries....

The survey ultimately indicates that the iPhone is “settling into a lower growth, more predictable rhythm.” Loup Ventures surveyed a total of 511 people in the United States, 226 of which currently own an iPhone. The results show that 22 percent of current iPhone users intend to upgrade their device come this fall when Apple announces new models for its iPhone lineup....

Back in December, the New World devs announced that they’d made some changes to the PvP system - a coveted mechanic - in the game following its alpha phase. Turns out, they saw a lot of high-level players griefing low-level players, so much so that it produced a pretty toxic online culture. So, they were changing things up, and a lot of their changes were covered in the video below. PvP will be less of a focus for the game, and players will have to actually turn the feature on once they reach a high enough level....

The existence of Apple University, a college of sort for teaching the Apple way at Apple’s Infinite Loop headquarters in Cupertino, California, is not a secret. But the details of how Apple University works and what the school teaches have been mostly hidden from the spotlight. Today, The New York Times has published a fairly extensive profile of Apple University, which is well-worth a read. Apple University is run by former Yale business school dean Joel Podolny, and Podolny took a full-time role as Dean of Apple University earlier this year as he handed off his former Human Resources responsibilities to Denise Young-Smith....

The latest Netflix prediction is that the streaming service could lose as many as 4 million subscribers in 2020. Netflix has come under heightened pressure recently due to the increase in the number of new streaming services. The problem for Netflix is a lot of these new arrivals are priced far lower than Netflix. This has led to many suggesting these services will affect Netflix’s subscriber growth, leading to some being referred to as “Netflix killers....

There are people—yours truly included—who felt genuinely dumbfounded having read both the authorized “Steve Jobs” biography by Walter Isaacson and Adam Lashinsky’s “Inside Apple.” Do not get me wrong, Isaacson and Lashinsky are among the best contemporary wordsmiths, and their work enlightened us with some previously unknown details about the inner-workings of Apple and the man who cofounded it. Nonetheless, the authors dedicated way too many pages to the stuff we already knew, and their writing style may not appeal to the Technorati accustomed to fast-paced news reporting and sensationalist headlines....
