As noted by MacRumors, an eBay listing popped up today showing what appears to be a prototype 16GB iPad with two dock connectors. The iPad has always included the same, single dock connector that allows docking in portrait orientation, but the prototype in the listing shows a second dock connector that would allow for docking in landscape view. We heard rumors several times as far back as the original iPad launch that Apple was working to add a second dock connector....

Director Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1960 thriller Psycho contains one of the best and most famous twist endings of all time, and we examine it in detail. Hitchcock’s resume is stacked with incredible films, but Psycho might just be his most famous, and probably the one even people who don’t generally watch older horror movies are most likely to have seen. This is partially due to Psycho spawning a franchise, with Anthony Perkins returning to play Norman Bates in three sequels....

Qualcomm this evening revealed that it is countersuing Apple as the legal battle between the two companies heats up. While it had been previously reported that Qualcomm was considering legal action, the company made it official today in a 134-page filing… In the filing, Qualcomm firmly denied the allegations made by Apple. The chip maker stated that Apple is trying to use its power to force Qualcomm into lowering royalties for its own sake (via CNET):...

Netflix’s new Queer Eye reboot has only been around since 2018, and it’s already making waves in pop culture.

I have a Gorillapod which comes in handy for my compact camera, but it’s a little chunky to carry around for use with an iPhone. The Gekkopod is a similar idea, but in a much smaller format, making it a lot easier to tuck away into a bag for those times when you find you need a stable platform for a photo – whether for a selfie or a low-light shot where you want to avoid camera shake....

The new trailer for next year’s Dolittle, starring Robert Downey Jr., is clearly structured to look like a Disney movie, despite actually being from Universal Pictures. The upcoming film will mark Downey Jr.’s first major film to be released following Avengers: Endgame. That movie brought his 11-year run as Tony Stark to a conclusion. In contrast to the contemporary setting of the Eddie Murphy-starring Dr. Dolittle movies from the late 1990s and early 2000s, Dolittle is clearly hewing closer to the original Hugh Lofting books and the 1967 movie starring Rex Harrison by maintaining a Victorian-era backdrop....

Shopping for USB-C accessories for your new MacBook? Beware that the USB-C landscape as far as accessories and compatibility with your Mac is an absolute mess. Apple might be complying with the final specs for USB-C, but they weren’t finalized until after the original 2015 MacBook, Apple’s first product with a USB-C port. That’s why Apple issued an update to its MacBooks and its own USB-C accessories for the 2016 MacBook (not to mention a recall for faulty cables), but it’s also why the current crop of accessories available are hit and miss when it comes to compatibility across the board....

Psych’s “100 Clues” celebrated 100 episodes of the comedy series and paid homage to a 1985 cult favorite. Psych is a USA Network show that debuted in 2006 and revolved around Shawn Spencer (James Roday), whose photography memory and keen observation skills help him convince others he’s really psychic. Of course, this isn’t the case, which doesn’t prevent him from setting up a detective agency with friend Gus (Dule Hill) and aiding the police with solving crimes....

The magic of Hogwarts has become so ingrained with the holiday season that networks have taken to playing Harry Potter movies on loop during Christmas time. While it’s true that there are some gorgeous festivities to be had during many of Harry’s holidays, the sad fact is that there are almost as many bleak Christmases that the Boy Who Lived endured over the years. From joyous times with new family and friends, filled with feasting and thoughtful gifts, to years spent with people who barely bothered to acknowledge his existence, Harry Potter’s Christmas holidays have varied a lot, to say the least....

While Apple makes rather modest water-resistance claims for the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, suggesting nothing more demanding than a cycle ride in the rain, that hasn’t stopped people putting them through some rather more extreme tests. We’ve already seen the phone survive immersion in water, soda and coffee, and even dropped into 35 feet of water. This latest test has pro surfer Kai Lenny take the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus out into the waves …...
