Like any other crime, an Internet-based crime should be reported to those law enforcement authorities assigned to tackle it at a local, state, Federal, or international level, depending on the nature and scope of the criminal act. Hence, citizens who are aware of Federal crimes should notify the local offices of Federal law enforcement. Here is the list of the main Federal law enforcement agencies that investigate domestic Internet crimes: the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF)....

So, you’re excited about iPad 3 with Retina Display? Hold your horses, panel makers may not be on the same page with Apple. Per this analysis compiled by DigiTimes, display and touch panel providers are actually struggling to keep up with Apple’s ever growing appetite: Click for larger Apple, of course, is using 9.7-inch panels for its iPad so this DigiTimes report should be taken with a grain of salt. The company’s said to be already lining up suppliers to provide iPad 3 parts in time for a 2012 launch....

But not taking care of security is also a costly business: the recent fines of $5 billion applied to Facebook and $123 million to Marriott are just the tip of the iceberg. Even without fines to worry about, average annual costs from cyber-attacks are around $4.7 million, according to Willis Towers Watson. Added to all of these tangible costs are the intangibles such as reputation damage. I could go on In the Ninth Annual Cost of Cybercrime Study by Accenture, they found that “people-based attacks” were increasing at the fastest rate....

I’m an Apple guy. I have enough Apple hardware around my house to serve as a mini-museum and I use Apple’s software and services every single day. But when Google makes something interesting like Chromecast Audio, I can’t help but want to try out the new toy. Sold for just $35 (Google Store, Best Buy), Chromecast Audio lets you stream audio over the Internet from services like Spotify and NPR to old speakers....

They fit under the sole of your current shoe with the tracker conveniently attached to the outer rim of the shoe.

It’s immediately noticeable that the new Lowry Cuff strap from Pad & Quill meets the company’s usual quality standard requirements. You’ll first likely notice the strap is handcrafted by the rugged look of the stitching that clearly wasn’t done by machine. And the leather, which the company notes is full-grain vegetable-tanned leather from Horween Tannery (a favorite source of leather for a lot of high-end goods), is extremely soft to the touch....

Yes, another secure and ephemeral messaging app. There’s Wickr, Snapchat, Confide, so what makes Wiper Messenger different? I’ve had the chance to play around with the new free chatting app on iOS, and it seems to act as a fusion of WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Wickr. The app prompts you for your email address or phone number in order to create your account, and then you are brought to a fairly simple interface with three tabs across the bottom: Chats, Contacts, and More....

Sony has had a hit or miss relationship with U.S. carriers over the past few years. The first Xperia smartphones were available on AT&T for a time, Verizon reless even picked up the sadly underwhelming Xperia ay in 2011. After that, Sony smartphones through a carrier were a rarity until the Z series was released on T-Mobile. Things haven’t gotten much better for Sony, but that might change this year....

Update: Verizon’s new plans and features are now official. Verizon is planning an announcement tomorrow and CNET reports that it’s part of a big overhaul of its plans that will see increased data caps come alongside price hikes and other new features. Customers will also reportedly soon get access to unlimited usage through a new feature dubbed ‘Safety Mode’, rollover data options, and more. According to the report, Verizon’s plans will increase by $5 making the entry-level plan come in at $35, but it will also now come with an increased 2GB of data up from 1GB previously....

A new line of iMacs with ultra high-resolution Retina Displays is in late testing stages within Apple, according to our sources who have used the future desktop computer. While the machine will sport a thin profile similar to that of the current design, which was introduced in 2012, it will be packed with new internals such as faster processors and improved WiFi antennas. The fact that the iMac is in late testing indicates that Apple could be preparing to launch it alongside OS X Yosemite this fall…...

After Apple announced plans back in July to let accessory manufacturers produce Apple Watch docks that integrate its magnetic charging connector, today the first product to take advantage arrives with Belkin’s new Charge Dock for Apple Watch – which also includes an integrated lightning connector for simultaneously docking an iPhone. We’ve been testing the product ahead of its release… Apple provides the Apple Watch’s magnetic charging connector component to accessory manufacturers through its Made for iPhone (MFi) licensing program, and Belkin is one of the first to take advantage with the launch of its new Charge Dock today....

Skeet Ulrich and Marisol Nichols are officially leaving Riverdale after season 4. In the years since it debuted in 2017, The CW’s subversive adaptation of the Archie Universe has remolded Riverdale into a far darker and more twisted place than it’s typically been in the comics. That goes double for its characters, including adults like Jughead’s father F.P. Jones and Veronica’s mother Hermione Lodge. Both have battled their fair share of personal demons on the show, with Ulrich’s F....

I’ve been testing out the Robo Wunderkind Robotics Kit for the past couple of months from the perspective of an educator and a parent. I’ve tested out a dozen or so of these types of products (building blocks + iPad app), and they’ve all had one thing in common: they can be overwhelming for kids. Many of them include hundreds of pieces with pages full of options of things to create....

All of the Guardians of the Galaxy use humor as a coping mechanism, and hide real pain from past traumas under the facade of a thieving misfit, but it’s the most poignantly prevalent in Rocket. He has a sociopathic attitude towards violence, but he’s also dealing with deep insecurities. Bradley Cooper has compared Rocket to Joe Pesci’s quick-witted hothead character, Tommy DeVito from Goodfellas, and just like Tommy, Rocket has plenty of both hilarious and heartbreaking moments....

Until this year, Mac owners had three major options for organizing large digital photo collections: Apple’s mainstream iPhoto, Apple’s “pro” app Aperture, and Adobe’s similarly professional-grade Lightroom. When Apple discontinued iPhoto and Aperture in favor of an even more basic app called Photos, many people —amateur photographers and professionals alike — had to decide whether to downgrade to Photos or switch to Lightroom. Apple understood that it was ceding at least the professional market to Lightroom, and even helped Adobe to develop Aperture and iPhoto to Lightroom importers....

Reviews of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro are starting to appear – though there are a number of posts out there using that title which turn out to be a hands-on at the event rather than a full review. Phil Schiller set a high bar when he said that one of the markets Apple was targeting included users of older Windows laptops. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro could, he said, be a viable replacement....

Just like X-Men’s Jean Grey changes her suits, Riverdale’s Cheryl Blossom changes her outfits. By far, she is the most stylish character on the show with her trademark color being red and her clothes mostly being comprised of three colors: black, white, and red. However, to fully understand Cheryl’s sense of fashion, we need to look at the most prominent examples of what kind of clothes she usually wears. Here are Cheryl’s 5 best outfits and her 5 worst....

It’s only a matter of time before the words ‘gritty reboot’ get attached to just about any existing intellectual property these days. That’s especially true for characters in the public domain, which allow multiple studios to create competing films based on the same protagonist or universe. Over the years, that’s meant everything from Frankenstein to Peter Pan, and right now Robin Hood is going through the same process. Not to be confused with the futuristic, dystopian Robin Hood project that’s in the works, Robin Hood: Origins will be taking a cue from the upcoming King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and providing audiences with a dark and grounded reboot of the character....

A new report from Chinese media site MyDrivers is starting up the rumor mill for the iPhone 7, Apple’s next major revision to the iPhone due later in 2016. The iPhone 7 is expected to feature external design changes which means big changes inside and out. The report claims specifically that the iPhone 7 Plus (5.5 inch screen) will come in a new 256 GB storage configuration and feature a larger internal battery, rated at 3100 mAH....
