Neato has today brought two features from its top-of-the-line D7 Connected robot vacuum cleaner (review) to two lower-cost models … Virtual no-go lines allow owners to tell the robocleaners to avoid certain areas. For example, if you have kids, you may want to tell it to avoid a playroom where there are usually toys all over the floor. Or you might want to tell it not to go beneath a sofa where you’ve hidden a bunch of cabling out of sight, and want to ensure it doesn’t unplug half your home....

Looking at data just released by IHS iSuppli, Netflix was able to take the top spot from Apple for online movie marketshare during 2011.

One of the most truly reliable sources of entertainment (edutainment?) is the venerable nature documentary, which Netflix is prepared to deliver with the official trailer for the ambitious looking Our Planet series.

A new Bourne movie is being developed, and it may connect to the Treadstone TV show. After debuting in 2002, the adaptation of the Robert Ludlum novel The Bourne Identity proved to be a huge international hit and turned Matt Damon into an action star. In the years that followed, Bourne became a legitimate name in the spy/thriller genre, focusing on exotic locales, lightning-quick action sequences and an engaging mystery that weighed heavily on the mind of the film’s lead character, Jason Bourne (Damon)....

When restauranteur, author, and TV host David Chang joined the Netflix content machine, he did so with the interesting and occasionally illuminating documentary series Ugly Delicious. The show was not only a peek into the life and inspirations of one of the hottest restauranteur’s around, it also aimed to broaden viewers’ understanding of cuisine of all kinds, from a variety of different cultural perspectives. It was, to put it simply, a potential way to fill the Parts Unknown-sized void left by the loss of Anthony Bourdain....

Netflix original series YOU has total Dexter vibes. It’s about a serial killer named Joe Goldberg who tends to fall easily for women to the point of becoming obsessed and totally fixated on them. Through each episode, we hear Joe’s twisted inner monologue as he goes about his seemingly normal life while, behind the scenes, he’s trying to rationalize his stalker-like behavior. Joe gets so obsessed with these women that he is even willing to kill for them…or kill them because, well, it’s all for love in his eyes....

How fast is it? I used the Ixia’s IxChariot networking benchmark and my Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphone to measure its throughput and it beat every other Wi-Fi network I’ve ever tested. And, friends, I’ve tested a lot of network gear in my day. For example, for years now Wi-Fi router companies have been claiming they could break the 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) barrier. Spoiler alert: None of them could....

How many more reboots and remakes must audiences sit through before Hollywood realizes that fans of cinema want more original stories and not just the same ideas they’ve seen over and over again, just told in a slightly different way? While yes, the occasional reimagining of a classic story or a chance to fix a failed adaptation with something more accurate to its source material is welcomed, modern theatres of being suffocated by sequels and remakes that no one really wants....

Director J.D. Dillard made a cameo appearance in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Dillard is an up and coming director who, at this point in his career, has only directed two feature-length films: Sleight and Sweetheart. It seems as if the director is soon getting the biggest opportunity of his career as it was announced a few days ago that Dillard would helm a new Star Wars movie. Virtually nothing is known about the project thus far, except for the fact that Luke Cage writer Matt Owens will be penning the script....

Attaching Tile trackers to your valuables is one way to help you find them if they are misplaced, but it’s a slightly clunky way of doing it. That’s all set to change, though, as the company partners with a number of brands to build its Bluetooth tracking technology into their products. One of the first partnerships announced is with Bose, whose 2018 SoundSport Wireless and QuietControl 30 headphones will come with Tile on board from late spring …...

Nest has long been a holdout on Apple’s Siri-controlled HomeKit platform, and many have speculated it will never add support due to its ties with Google and its competing offerings.

When we asked the company if it would look into newly announced iOS 11 features that allow old products to easily add support, a Nest spokesperson officially told us its “open to supporting” the platform and that it will indeed “consider HomeKit....
