A new concept today from designer Álvaro Pabesio imagines how Apple could dramatically overhaul macOS when it finally makes the jump to ‘macOS 11.’ The concept depicts a redesigned menu bar with an iOS-like Control Center, as well as universal apps, a system-wide dark mode, and much more. In this concept, nearly everything has been changed in one way or another. First and foremost, the classic macOS menu bar has been dramatically simplified, with a status bar that transforms into a full iOS-like Control Center on the right, and traditional menu bar controls on the left....

Last year, if you were just listening to the major US carriers, it seemed like 2020 was the year that impressive 5G coverage with lightning-fast speeds was going to arrive for the masses. However, what actually arrived for many was very small pockets of dramatically faster speeds, with overall speeds not so different from 4G. A new report from Speedcheck today dives into why the rollout of 5G in the US turned out to be so disappointing, and also gives some hope for why 2021 could be the year carriers’ 5G coverage really starts to deliver....

Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 1 episode 9 found a way to make pizza - of all things - emotional. Brooklyn Nine-Nine arrived in 2013 and stars Andy Samberg (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) as detective Jake Peralta. Jake is a great cop, but he’s also quite childish and utterly obsessed with Die Hard, which clashes with the style of stern new Captain Holt (Andre Braugher). Early seasons found Jake trying to gain Holt’s respect with the two eventually becoming friends, while the supporting cast also got to share the limelight....

Thanos is old. The Warlord of Titan beats super-powered centenarian, Captain America by a few centuries. But he is a baby compared to a few other powers in the universe. The MCU may be only a decade old, but the history built into its worlds and characters goes back to basically the dawn of time. And that time existed before Thanos, or his home planet of Titan, and thus long before his beef with The Avengers....

At some point in the future, creating pixel-sharp screenshots, UI videos, and game recordings from your Apple TV may be as easy as hitting a button or two on the Siri Remote, but right now, the only obvious technique is a workaround. Thankfully, the workaround doesn’t require the use of Apple’s Xcode or another developer tool — all you’ll need is OS X’s built-in app QuickTime Player and a USB-C cable of your choice…...

One of the best new shows of 2018 (and also one of the best shows of that year period), the indelicate family drama from creator and showrunner Jesse Armstrong may have gotten off to a slow start for some, but it ended is first season with an incredibly strong string of episodes that delivered its fair share of memorable moments and in once case may have even added a winning phrase to its foul-mouthed lexicon....

HBO’s Watchmen has fired direct shots at Zack Snyder’s 2009 film, passing comment on its hyper-styled violence and thematic underpinnings. Damon Lindelof’s hit new show is ostensibly a sequel to the famed graphic novel, taking a look at an alternate 2019 where squids rain, police wear masks and effective gods live on Mars. In other words, it has next to no connection to Snyder’s 2009 film. The movie Watchmen was a direct adaptation of Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore’s work that was incredibly faithful to the source, at least from a visual and narrative standpoint....
