Supply chain source Digitimes is out with a new report today highlighting Apple’s suppliers involvement in upcoming product launches. The site claims that Apple could begin upgrading its various product lines as early as next month, but fails to offer specific information about what products are potentially on the docket… Digitimes, which has a sketchy track record, writes that various Apple suppliers will benefit from the company’s product refreshes this year....

In part-6 of this series, we have discussed how to use ildasm and ilasm utilities to perform reversing and patching of .NET applications.

Backpacks are as convenient a way to carry things around a city as they are when hiking in the great outdoors, keeping your hands free and spreading the load across two shoulders, but they can be a little worrying when you’re carrying expensive gadgets. The reason? All the zips are behind you. Standing on an escalator, in an elevator or on a platform waiting for a train, you always have the worry of a thief quietly unzipping the compartments to make off with your hard-earned technology....

Of course, you can back everything up on the cloud. Tap or click here for our comparison of Google Photos, iCloud and IDrive. I’m a big fan of having a backup of the backup, so I also use local storage, including hard drives and flash drives. Who says gifts you buy for others (or yourself) can’t be practical? Check out the review below of a very portable SSD and a tiny flash drive....

Rick and Morty prepares to take over in a teaser for the Adult Swim show’s Pringles Super Bowl ad. After an excruciatingly long wait (par for the course for the wildly popular animated show), Rick and Morty finally returned to Adult Swim in November for season 4. Not surprisingly, the show picked up right where it left off by plunging the iconic Rick and Morty into a new series of bizarre and hilarious (and sometimes disturbing) sci-fi adventures....

Standing desks are rapidly gaining in popularity as concern grows about the health impacts of spending long periods sitting down. Apple CEO Tim Cook has even described sitting as ‘the new cancer,’ with all Apple Park employees getting height-adjustable sit-stand desks. We’ve reviewed a few different products, from full-on sit-stand desks to a simple conversion option for laptop users. Flexispot has gone one step further with a couple of its products, however, combining a desk with an exercise cycle …...

Twelve years have passed since Griffin released its first iTrip, a breakthrough FM transmitter that enabled iPods to send music wirelessly to car and home stereos. The original model, a glossy white housing that sat atop early iPods like a tube of Chapstick, effectively defined iPod accessories for an entire generation of early adopters. And it was fun, too: using an radio antenna and brilliant software, iTrip could flood an empty FM radio channel with iPod music, acting like a pocket-sized pirate radio station....

However, sometime around 2010, DTH started gaining steam in India. The end of the tussle between Zee and Star regarding carriage fee opened the floodgates for mass adoption of DTH in India. High-profile DTH launches by Tata Sky, Reliance’s Big TV, Sun DTH, and Videocon D2H, pushed DTH to the next level. MSOs were content providing analogue TV, which gave users no option other than changing channels and volume through a remote, even as DTH operators stole the thunder by providing set top boxes (STBs) that could help one classify channels according to genres; know which show is running currently, what show would come next, set reminders, change languages, get monthly bill statements and a lot more....

Xperi Blog got even more details, with an official statement about the company’s plans: Our hs-on with the new Xperia X lineup left us excited about Sony’s latest batch of phones. However, actually seeing these phones launch in the U.S. is another story, as Sony often announces new devices but then drags its feet at bringing them stateside. The Z series featured some good devices, but an excessive number of models inconsistent updates ensured that they’d never be a hit....

Reports in the past have hinted that the LG G3 could be launched by July or August. But according to a company executive cited by ZDNet Korea, the smartphone will be announced in late June with availability slated to commence in July. The alleged launch of the two new iPhones later this year is said to be one of the factors for LG’s eagerness to precede them. The company has also taken this decision in light of the current market situation as it doesn’t want to waste any time in bringing its new flagship....

Google is going to have a busy 2019 if a new report is any indicator, with a variety of new hardware devices joining the family. A new report from Nikkei outlines the plans in place by the Made by Google team, according to information gathered from unnamed sources.

What should you do if you work from home, your wife is a nurse and busy at the hospital, and your kids are learning remotely while school is out due to a health pandemic? Taking on the role of “arts and crafts dad” is one option, especially if you can technically do it for work. Okay, maybe that’s a rare set of circumstances. Either way, the new iPhone-controlled Cricut Joy is an awesome entry into the world of smart cutting machines....

The new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar has been out for a few weeks so you’ve probably seen the early reviews and know all the initial takes. The USB ports changed, the Touch Bar may be gimmicky, and some pros are feeling left out. My own machine (base 15-inch with upgraded 1TB SSD) arrived three weeks ago as my new work computer, giving me plenty of real-world use with it. My main observation from time spent using the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is that early impressions don’t necessarily last....

Later this year, “Rocket League Sideswipe” will arrive on Android and iOS devices. Announced in a blog post today, Psyonix confirmed that “Rocket League Sideswipe” is currently in development for mobile devices with a “reimagined” version of its iconic competitive gameplay.

Rober is best known for his elaborate science videos on YouTube, and has appeared as a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

I’ve been a fan of phones with metallic frames and exteriors for over a decade now and the Huawei Ascend P6 has so much of it that, as on the HTC One, you’ll wonder where the radio antennae are. As it turns out, they’re in the top edge (literally) and under the bottom (plastic) bevel, but everything about the P6 screams sleek and unobtrusive. Huawei is becoming a household name, of course, at first in the Western world as a maker of strictly budget smartphones and then (with devices like the G300 and Y300) starting to make inroads into the low and mid range....

I first discovered Joli and their handmade leather sleeves a little over a year ago. Back then, I reviewed the company’s sleeves for the iPhone, iPad Pro, and 12-inch MacBook. Now, I’ve moved on from the 12-inch MacBook to the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Wanting to protect my pricey investment, I immediately set out to get a Joli leather sleeve for the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and have been using it for about a week now…...

Rick And Morty Season 3 Episode 9 “The ABCs Of Beth” asks if Beth chooses to clone herself - and leaves the answer deliberately ambiguous. Rick And Morty has attracted a fervent fanbase since it started back in 2013. The show has a Back To The Future-style premise, where a genius scientist called Rick Sanchez takes his grandson Morty off on cosmic adventures. The issue is that Rick is also a drunken, amoral nihilist, so their adventures often take a dark turn....

You’re going to see loads of links for fake versions of Super Mario Run on message boards unscrupulous websites, but don’t give in to them....
