At its 2015 MAX program, Adobe showed off 12 new projects that are part of its “Sneaks” program. Essentially, Sneaks are ideas and features that the company is working on behind the scenes that could eventually make their way into Creative Cloud products.

Throughout its six seasons, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has seen its fair share of bad guys. Some stood out in the audience’s memories while others faded into obscurity. From evil aliens to immortal humans to entirely new beings never before encountered, the agents have faced it all. Not all villains stayed enemies, while not all allies stayed friends. The constant shift in loyalties makes for interesting villain and hero dynamics on the show....

Britt) in the latest episode in the Framework storyline, ‘No Regrets’. As a whole, season 4 has followed three distinct story arcs - or, pods.

Strong AirPods Pro 2 sales played a major role in Apple substantially increasing its share of the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) market, according to a new market intelligence report. Apple substantially grew its already-strong lead over the rest of the market during Q3, as second-placed Samsung saw its Galaxy Buds shipments fall by 25% … Canalys opened today’s report by saying that the TWS market as a whole grew by 6%, while indicating that smart speakers declined in popularity....

In the market for AirPods but not sure which one to buy? There are a few key differences between the AirPods and AirPods Pro. The biggest difference is the active noise canceling feature found only in AirPods Pro.

Yet again, Digitimes is quoting supply chain sources that expect the Apple AirPower mat to launch in late March. Seeing as today is March 22nd, there aren’t too many days left for that particular deadline … However, this is by no means the first time Digitimes has made a claim about the AirPower release schedule. We can’t really take them seriously anymore for knowing about the AirPower launch. In the January just gone, it cited the GPP bridge rectifier suppliers indicating a launch later in 2019....

Being a hero on screen is one thing, but being a hero in real life is quite another. It’s easy to look like a big shot when you’re acting and everything you say is taken from a script. It’s another thing entirely to actually step up to the plate in any given real life situation. A lot of actors have it all, and are stuck in their own bubbles, seemingly not caring about the general public....

At last, new AirPods have arrived! That’s great news for early adopters who have experienced serious battery life degradation like me. If you have a fresh pair of the original AirPods, you can probably sit this version out for now. The differences in features aren’t night and day, but there’s also never been a better time to buy AirPods if you’ve been undecided about the purchase. The new AirPods are just as great as the originals — you just have to decide between the classic wired or new wireless charging case....

The fate of AirPower continues to be an evolving mystery. The AirPower Wireless Charging Mat was mentioned briefly in the Apple Store description for the new Smart Battery Cases, and is still visible on the Malaysian Apple Store, via MacRumors. Based on our tips, the Apple Store app included the words ‘AirPower Wireless Charging Mat’ for a fleeting minute when the battery cases went live last night. The references were quickly pulled by Apple, except they seem to have forgotten about Malaysia....

With Xbox Gold, you get the Games with Gold program that gives you three to four free games each month. Plus, Xbox Game Pass is an incredible value for $9.99/month and gives you access to over a hundred premiere games. However, you still need to download those huge files.

I’ve heard Drs. Warnock & Geschke talk about how they started Adobe with the intention of selling printing hardware, and how they shopped this idea around and around until they finally agreed to do what customers wanted: just sell them the software. They depict it as something of a forehead-slapping moment that changed everything. Adobe’s first big break came when [Adobe Founders] Geschke and Warnock convinced Apple Computer Inc. to use Post-Script with its LaserWriter printer....

The battle between the FBI and Apple over the San Bernardino iPhone may (for now) be long over, but one question remained: just how much did the FBI pay a third-party company to access the device? Despite releasing 100 pages of documents in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the government said that the sum paid would remain classified. It stuck by this even after three news organizations took the agency to court, revealing only that it was ‘less than a million‘ dollars....
