[ooyala code=”1jdGhoaDo90BukmjzZsaeb2IrkbmGHzu” player_id=”null”] Just last month, the NBA signed a $100 million deal with Samsung to utilize tablets court-side for instant replays. Turn the clock forward to this month, and Bloomberg has an extensive video interview with a company called Sportstec. Sportec provides 28 out of 30 of the NBA teams with iPads equipped with special software to analyze players, shots, and spots on the court. The software is exclusive to iOS devices....

Four out of Pixar’s last five movies have been sequels, so it’s refreshing to know that the animation studio famous for making adults cry will be bringing us not one, but two original stories next year. The first one, Onward, will star Chris Pratt and Tom Holland as elf brothers living in a suburban world occupied by mythical fantasy creatures who set out to find their long-lost father. The second one, Soul, sounds like a companion piece to Inside Out....

Ex Machina, the sci-fi comic book written by Brian K. Vaughan, is getting adapted into a movie titled The Great Machine. Beginning in 2004 and ending in 2010 with issue #50, Ex-Machina was published by DC Comics as part of its Wildstorm imprint. Vaughan, who has spoken out in the past about how the series emerged out of his anger with political leadership, viewed Ex-Machina as a chance to explore contemporary events through the often heightened lens of the comic book world....

The Oppo sub-brand Realme has released another mid-range affordable premium smartphone called Realme XT (RMX1921). You can say that this device is a true successor of the Realme X model. The Android OS from Google is really customizable and easy to use software that is based on the Linux platform. If you’re a developer or an advanced user, you can tweak your Realme XT software by some special access or installing any mod file....

If you’re looking for a secure external drive that meets both US military and government security standards, there are a number of encrypted external SSD options around. I reviewed one approach a couple of years ago, the iStorage diskAshur 2, which has a built-in PIN pad for entering a seven- to 15-digit code to unlock the drive. The SecureDrive BT is a similar idea, but instead of a PIN pad, you unlock it via Bluetooth....

Apple has registered a handful of new devices in the Eurasian commission database earlier this week, as discovered by Consomac. Legal obligations require devices that use encryption to be registered ahead of release. In the past, similar filings have tipped the hat on new MacBook models, the iPhone 7 and AirPods. The latest entries represent two new devices, with model identifiers A1954 and A1893, which are described as Apple tablets running iOS 11....

2018 was quite the year. Thanos decimated half of the universe, The Royal Wedding was canceled (Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande), and Ma’am became America’s sweetheart overnight. There were also a bunch of major movies that came out during the year. We’re more than a few months out of 2018, but it’s always fun for people to go back and see if they were able to catch all of the films that were released during a single year....

As we enter March, the number of rumors about upcoming Apple hardware continue to rise. There’s a palpable feeling that Apple is about to release new shiny stuff soon, although no one is 100% sure of exactly what is coming down the pipe. With the coronavirus outbreak spreading, Apple’s plan for the summer season are also in question. Here’s a look at everything Apple could release this month, from iPhone to Mac to iPad and more....

Musk took to Twitter to confirm that the company received “good feedback” from its Starlink beta 10 users, and that there were now plans to roll out beta 10.1, which beta users can request from this Friday, ahead of an official launch next month. Beta services are currently operating in 11 different countries. SpaceX outlined as part of beta services, users can expect to see data speeds vary from 50Mbps to 150Mbps and latency from 20ms to 40ms in “most locations over the next several months” while the Starlink system continues to be enhanced....

Previously we covered using Readyboost with a USB flash drive, but did you know you can do the same thing with an SD card? As netbooks and portable devices have become more popular, sometimes it just isn’t ergonomic to have a giant USB sticking out of your PC. A small SD card provides a discreet solution for your ReadyBoost needs. As with using a USB stick to ReadyBoost your Windows PC, a 4GB SD card is the size you want....

After the phenomenal success of Wonder Woman and the tremendous disappointment of Justice League in 2017, the studio execs in charge of the DC Extended Universe decided to soften the interconnected nature of the franchise and start focusing on developing projects that would stand on their own. One of the projects caught in the fray of this new experiment is a low-budget, small-scale movie about the Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix – as opposed to Jared Leto, who has played the Joker in the DCEU so far – and Robert De Niro....

The process of acquiring digital media and obtaining information from a mobile device and its associated media is precisely known as “imaging.” The evidence image can be stored in different formats which can be used for further analysis. A hash value is generated to make sure that the image is not tampered with at any given point in time. The imaging can be done with the help of tools such as FTK imager, the Oxygen forensic suite, Windows Mobile Device, Zune, X-Ways, EnCase, Cellebrite Physical Analyzer, IEF, etc....

5G is an important feature in modern smartphones, which gives users immense speed and network capabilities. It is essentially faster than wifi and can support a transfer speed of 20 Gigabits-per-second. Google is also having a few of their devices with 5G support. Google Pixel 4a(5G) and Pixel 5 are 5G smartphones, but these are locked in few unlisted countries, and you need to enable the 5G feature to use it....

Epic Games has come under fire after the developer released an oddly familiar cosmetic item on Fortnite’s store. Players are able to purchase equipable cosmetic items and skins with V-Bucks, the game’s currency. The selection of cosmetics is ever-changing with new additions being added daily. As the biggest game on the planet, Fortnite has come under fire for cosmetics before. The iconic dance emotes in Fortnite faced legal trouble when a handful of celebrities and Internet personalities claimed they created said dances....

Puede que Facebook está perdiendo su glamour, en parte por el Escándalo de Cambridge Analytica, seguido por la trasmisión en directo del Ataque Terrorista de Christchurch. Puede que los adolescentes lo están dejando porque lo perciben como demasiado oficial y un lugar donde sus padres pasan el rato. Sin embargo, esto no significa que la gente está abandonando Facebook de manera masiva. Todavía tiene algunas estadísticas sorprendentes: 1.52 mil millones de usuarios activos diariamente 2....

Although there are many DC heroines worth looking up to, the one that often manages to outsell them all is Harleen Francis Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn. This seems counterintuitive, but consider this: Wonder Woman may be the pinnacle of truth, justice and feminism, but relatable she is not. Harley Quinn, on the other hand, a former mental health professional turned psych ward patient is just that. Is she homicidal? Yes. Amoral?...

Former OS X chief Bertrand Serlet founded his cloud startup company Upthere back in 2011. The service was seen as a competitor to the likes of iCloud and Dropbox, focused on offering users a quick and easy way to store and access their data in the cloud. Today, Upthere announced that it has been acquired by storage company Western Digital… UpThere announced the acquisition in an email to users this evening, calling Western Digital a “wonderful supporter” of the company:...

Empire Of The Sharks is an Asylum movie that tries to be the Mad Max: Fury Road of shark movies - which isn’t as fun as it sounds. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws is still the shark movie to beat and while it had an infamously messy production, it overcame forecasts of doom to become the first true summer blockbuster, with the movie being a perfect fusion of great characters, dialogue, and suspense....

At GDC this week the tech start-up Hadean came with something to prove, that they could host an in-game space battle with 10,000 ships. Partnering with EVE Online makers CCP Games, this partnership formed the EVE: Aether Wars tech demo. And somehow, it actually worked, thanks in small part do thousands of EVE Online players who joined in on the tech demo, bolstered by thousands of additional AI units. After a rocky, slightly delayed start the tech demo took place on the first morning of Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and 3,852 players from around the world fought in one, single, massive battle with AI-connected clients joining the clash and pushing overall ships total to 14,274 and hitting a record-setting concurrent combatants number of 10,412, a Guinness World Record held by EVE Online which hosted a battle in 2018 consisting of 6,142 players on January 13, 2018....
