Several months after the iPad Air 2 hit shelves, form-fitting cases still remain few and far between, and even our favorite case makers have been rushing out “quick fix” options reusing most of earlier, thicker iPad Air 1 designs. Moshi’s VersaCover for iPad Air 2 ($60) is different. While the “origami cover” front lid is identical to one that was used in the same-named iPad Air 1 case, the rear shell has been redesigned to precisely fit the more slender iPad Air 2’s form....

Decking over a lawn. And so on. Over the years, I’ve tested quite a few wooden products, including a Mac dock, a number of iPhone cases, Watch charger, Airplay speaker, USB charger and even an iPad sleeve. So when I was offered the chance to try out a wooden keyboard and trackpad, no surprise that I accepted …...

Capcom has revealed their iconic Resident Evil franchise has sold 90 million units worldwide. The original Resident Evil – known as Biohazard in Japan - started life as a remake of Capcom’s own Sweet Home, a 1989 survival horror game set in a haunted mansion.

Kelly Marie Tran has talked about the difficulties of filming her scenes with Leia (via old footage of Carrie Fisher) for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Co-writer Chris Terrio has since come out and explained that Tran shot a number of additional scenes where Rose worked alongside Leia for the Resistance....

But is relief in sight? If anything, the robocall problem is just getting worse each year....

In a story published by The Information (it’s behind a paywall), Amir Efrati describes the troubled relationship between its Motorola subsidiary.

But such a partnership never happened, while the Moto X’s hs-free “Touchless Control” voice comm feature is useful, it clearly isn’t as powerful as what Motorola had hoped to build....

TheVerge reads behind the Sunday Times’ firewall: BBM and BES only run on Blackberry now, and that platform will have a market share heading toward zero by the time RIM gets all of this organizational structure sorted. So keeping that a separate business makes little sense. The other option is selling out piecemeal to Microsoft for parts and people. I imagine that by then, the price of RIM will get so low, even Apple and Google would be interested in picking up the parts (patents, people, and tech)....
