A report claims Apple may have crippled AirPrint before it began, abandoning support for printers shared via a network-connected PC or Mac. On launch, Apple promised: “AirPrint is Apple’s powerful new printing architecture that matches the simplicity of iOS—no set up, no configuration, no printer drivers and no software to download,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users can simply tap to print their documents or photos wirelessly to an HP ePrint printer or to a printer shared on a Mac or PC....

According to a report from BetaBoston, Apple’s team in Boston working on its Siri speech recognition technology looks to be expanding as the company reportedly leases a new 13,000 square foot office. The report, which cites real estate sources, says the new office at One Broadway is in the Cambridge Innovation Center where Apple currently has a small team occupying two smaller offices: Last year a report profiled Apple’s Boston-based offices noting that the team was working on speech recognition technology for Siri and that Apple had been hiring new talent to do so....

“Even a minimal cell requires 2 billion atoms,” Zaida Luthey-Schulten, chemistry professor and co-director of the university’s Center for the Physics of Living Cells, said in a statement. “You cannot do a 3D model like this in a realistic human time scale without GPUs.” The simulation replicated a minimal cell’s physical and chemical characteristics at a particle scale. A minimal cell only has the minimal set of genes necessary for the cell to survive, function and replicate....

The remake of Resident Evil 2 provides one of the most visually impressive titles ever created while recreating the dread-filled environments of the Capcom classic. From the manipulation of the third-person shooter genre to best fit what makes survival horror a popular genre to the masterfully crafted visual and audio design, Resident Evil 2 is a master class of horror. Capcom transcribes what made Resident Evil 2 such a terrifying experience to fit modern necessities....

Back in December, AgileBits released 1Password 4 for iPhone and iPad. The app presented a completely revamped take on password security, but lacked feature parity with the Mac version of the software. Today, 1Password for Mac has been updated to version 4, bringing a ton of new features to the Mac. In fact, the update brings so many new capabilities that the Mac version of 1Password has now surpassed the iOS version in features....

The 2018 iPad Pro is the most compelling new iPad to be released since the original. Whereas all previous iPad models more or less have had notable but incremental refinements and improvements, this new 2018 iPad is the tablet that Apple has longed to make. Thanks to its flat edges, the 2018 iPad Pro looks vaguely similar to the original version, but that’s where the similarities abruptly end. This machine is an absolute monster in so many areas, from its “all-screen” front panel, to its ludicrously-fast CPU, to the sheer amount of flash storage space and memory....

not me I reviewed two portable Bluetooth speakerphone options earlier this year: The Philips WeCall ($145) vs. Logitech P710e ($125) . Both are square and have internal batteries and make conference calling easy. But for their ~$150 price tag, I wondered if you could get more portability and style without sacrificing sound quality. Harman Kardon products are always packaged nicely and the Esquire Mini is no exception. The unit itself is slightly bigger than an iPhone 6 and about twice as thick....

[The following includes spoilers for the Rick & Morty season 3 premiere.] Rick & Morty has become one of Adult Swim’s signature series and one of the hottest sci-fi comedies on TV, filling a hole left in the genre by the loss of Futurama and winning legions of devotees with its clever use of high-concept science fiction storytelling, hilariously dark comedy sensibilities and surprisingly strong emotional core. But while fans and critics alike clamor for more episodes, seasons have followed a schedule typical of the low-budget late-night cable network’s famously slow production schedule with very little transparency as to the speed at which it would return....

Set photos from The Batman have revealed something very strange about Robert Pattinson’s Batsuit - what’s going on with his gauntlets? Matt Reeves, director of The Batman, took to social media to give audiences their first look at the new Batman costume. He likely knew he was about to start filming on location and set photos were sure to flood the Internet. First reactions to Pattinson’s Batsuit have been mixed. The stitched cowl is a nice touch, allowing Pattinson a degree of flexibility in the neck that earlier Batsuits have lacked, but the mysterious goggles have taken some fans by surprise....

But out of all these companies, Google unquestionably holds the most power. In many ways, Google is the gateway to the internet — and a key broker of information. If Google were altering search results and promoting some websites over others, it could be argued it has the power to control the flow of data and set its own narratives. As it turns out, this is exactly what’s happening. Are the answers to your questions being censored by Silicon Valley?...

AOC E2251FWU 22-inch USB display USB DisplayLink monitors are a relatively new breed of peripheral for Macs and PCs. The technology creates a virtual display on your Mac/PC, compresses it, and then sends it over USB 2.0 to a monitor that uncompresses it. You would think this could cause a lag, but the transfer is almost un-noticeable by the naked eye. It is basically an extra monitor that connects to your USB port and frees your monitor port for other uses....

The first half of Rick and Morty season 4 has officially concluded - but when will the next batch of episodes be released and what can fans expect? Created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, Rick and Morty debuted on Adult Swim back in 2013. Immediately garnering widespread acclaim and popularity for its originality, creativity, and humor, Rick and Morty aired two more subsequent, intermittent seasons. After a 2-year wait, Rick and Morty season 4 was officially released....

[This article contains SPOILERS for Legends of Tomorrow.] - The CW is slowly trying to corner the market on DCEU TV properties, with newest additions Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow racking up decent ratings for the network. The latter show, which often combines and crosses over with fellow Arrowverse properties Arrow and The Flash, follows an ensemble team of unlikely heroes as they traverse through space and time to stop an unspeakable future evil....

I was a huge gushing fan of the Bose Soundlink Mini when I reviewed it this summer, calling it the “Best Sounding portable Bluetooth speaker ever”. For $199 you’d get bookshelf type of power and clarity with 6 hour battery in a portable package that you could throw in a coat pocket, bag, or purse. This week, Bose started shipping a bigger version, the $299 Soundlink 3 which is officially the successor to the Soundlink 2 but it grabs a lot more technology, features and appearance from the very successful Mini....

The first time I picked up Spigen’s overly-bulky Tough Armor case for the iPhone 6 Plus, I knew there was going to be a major new consideration when reviewing iPhone 6 Plus cases: the quantity and shape of case materials added to the already large device’s back and sides. Apple’s designers succeeded in crafting a really big iPhone that somehow still felt thin, smooth and comfortable enough in large hands — when bare — but Tough Armor’s hard edges and chunky frame made the 6 Plus feel awkward in even a large adult male’s hands and pockets....

Apple’s HomeKit feature lets you control “smart” lights with Siri or Apple’s new Home app on iOS 10, and there are generally two ways to make your home lighting more intelligent. You can change your light bulbs to “connected” bulbs that talk to a bridge over Wi-Fi, or you can replace your light switches with “connected” switches that take the same bridge approach. The Lutron Caséta kit takes the latter approach by replacing your existing light switches with smart switches that make your traditional light bulbs work with Siri....

Years ago, Apple offered the MacBook Pro with an anti-glare display, but save for the nano-texture Pro Display XDR, matte screens are nowhere to be found in Apple’s lineup today. Moshi aims to fill that gap with its iVisior lineup of matte screen protectors, which I’ve been using on both my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro for the last several weeks. Installation For me, one of the most important features of a screen protector, and why I’ve generally avoided them, is an easy installation process....

Photos by Veronica Oggy For a pair of headphones under the $50 mark, we often find ourselves recommending something like the standard $35 Apple earphones. You typically cannot beat the sound quality (build quality up for debate) for the price, but if you want to go Bluetooth, pickings are slim in the under $200 category. If you are looking for DJ-style, over-ear Bluetooth headphones, your options are even fewer before hitting the $250+ price point for a wireless pair of Beats by Dr....
