Any tea drinker will know the experience. You wander into the kitchen to put the kettle on to make tea, wander back to the living-room or office and half an hour later realize you forgot all about it. So the second time you stand there waiting impatiently for it to boil. This is the problem the iKettle sets out to solve. That, at least, is my excuse. The reality, of course, is that it’s a kettle with wifi – how could anyone reasonably expect me to resist … ?...

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’s world premiere date shows how spoiler-averse Disney is being while handling the film. Though director J.J. Abrams believes Star Wars 9’s marketing isn’t secretive, the studio has most definitely run another one of their patented measured promotional campaigns, keeping plenty of details close to the chest. Even though only three weeks remain until the film hits theaters, fans still barely have any idea what the general story is about - yet alone whatever twists and turns Abrams has up his sleeve....

In 2013, Apple invited robotics startup Anki to come on stage at WWDC and debut Anki Drive, an artificial intelligence toy race car system. Despite the endorsement from Apple, however, Anki has struggled to garner mainstream adoption, and now Recode reports that the company is shutting down. According to the report, Anki is laying off its entire staff of nearly 200 people on Wednesday. This move comes as the company had a new round of financing fall through and struggled to find additional funding....

I’m a strong advocate of the philosophy of buying the right thing once. My view is for any activity you care about a lot, it’s cheaper in the long run to buy an expensive product that will keep you happy for a great many years – maybe even for a lifetime – than a cheap product you’ll end up wanting to replace a few years down the line. Buy cheap, buy twice, as they say....

KRFT for iOS takes a unique approach to music production and performance allowing producers to not only create the musical notes, melodies and chords in a particular song or set, but also the Surface with which it will be performed on. Using a simple system of touch-controlled geometric shapes, users can arrange a series of hand-crafted loops, drum beats, modifier Dials, Morph buttons and more into a custom-made performance control surface....

For whatever reason, accessory companies commonly send out review samples of solar-powered Apple accessories late in the year — rarely if ever in July, when the sun is at its peak pretty much everywhere in the United States. So even though I’m a fan of solar power, my ability to make the most of these accessories is naturally limited by the modest sunshine available for testing. The wisest solar-powered accessories I’ve tested hedge their bets by storing energy in batteries that can be used (and wall-recharged) even when the sun’s not out....

A Hardware Monster The G3 represents the first time since the release of the Optimus 2X that LG has actually managed to trump the troika of Sony, Samsung and HTC in the hardware department. The Optimus 2X, for those who know not their tech history, was the first smartphone to sport a dual core processor. Well, the G3 is the first flagship Android device from a major player to come with a quad HD display – while the One M8, the Xperia Z2 and the Galaxy S5 had stuck to the full HD displays of 1920 x 1080 resolution, the G3 goes a step further and sports a 2560 x 1440 resolution 5....

For his supporting role as Louis the Dauphin in David Michôd’s The King, Robert Pattinson has made an interesting choice with his accent. In the years following his time in the Twilight saga, Pattinson has become one of the most interesting and unpredictable actors of his generation. Taking on parts in indie dramas by celebrated auteurs such as Claire Denis and David Cronenberg, Pattinson remolded his public image from glittery heart-throb to darling of experimental cinema....

As I’ve said before, Thunderbolt 2 docks are a really great idea for MacBook users. Before now, there were three major options: Belkin’s $300 Thunderbolt 2 Express HD Dock, Elgato’s $220 Thunderbolt 2 Dock (review), and CalDigit’s $226 Thunderbolt Station 2 (review). All three are designed for the same purpose — to connect a bunch of peripherals (including hard drives, a monitor, and audio cables) to your Mac with one Thunderbolt 2 cable — and they all have the same core peripheral ports, with small differences to set them apart from one another....

Watch Robert De Niro recreate a scene from Goodfellas with GGI de-aging. It’s been just over a month since Netflix released iconic director Martin Scorsese’s latest effort, The Irishman. The film has had rave reviews and remains a strong Oscar contender. But aside from the list of heavyweight actors in The Irishman such as Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel, the film has also made headlines for its use of CGI de-aging technologies....

Things were looking a bit bleak for Walt Disney’s famed animation studios. For a while, the films were not performing as well as they used too. It wasn’t until 1988 with the recording-setting release of Oliver and Company that they started to find their footing. It was around that time that the directing duo of Ron Clements and John Musker were in production of the famed animated film that would save the studio - The Little Mermaid....

Apple earlier today officially took the wraps off of the oft-rumored iPhone SE. While the device is set to go up for pre-order on Thursday, March 24th and ship a week later, a handful of cases are already available for the device. While the device is largely identical to the iPhone 5/5s in terms of design, many companies are announcing new cases specifically for the latest 4-inch smartphone. We’ve put together a roundup of some of the best choices to protect your iPhone SE below…...

There were more than a few Bluetooth-enabled smart watches on display at CES this year. We were on-hand for the official press unveiling of the Pebble e-paper watch, which is expected to start shipping to over 80,000 backers later this month. We also spotted Martian Watches, CooKoo, I’mWatch, and a small handful of other watches designed to pair and work with your iPhone or other mobile devices. Many have seen the Pebble, up until now, as the frontrunner mainly due to the 10 million in funding it raised through Kickstarter....

There are about a quadrillion different car docks for iPhones, ranging in price from a few dollars right up into triple digits. Brodit docks sit right at the high end, with a complete powered installation coming in at around $140-150. Crazy money? Expensive for sure, but having owned one since the iPhone 4, I didn’t even consider anything else when I bought my iPhone 6 … Brodit is a Swedish company specialising in mounting systems for attaching electronic equipment to vehicles....

Rob Kardashian would like to attend a weight loss camp. As the only brother of the famed Keeping Up with the Kardashian sisters, Rob has quietly been staying out of the spotlight for the past couple of years. Kardashian was last in the news for his ongoing and toxic relationship with Blac Chyna when the two dated back in 2016. The couple ended up having a daughter together who they named Dream Renee Kardashian, but officially split in February 2017....

Roger Moore’s James Bond did the one thing Daniel Craig’s 007 couldn’t: kill Bond’s greatest enemy, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In the 25th Bond film, No Time To Die, the terrorist mastermind is still alive and is in MI6 custody after Craig’s Bond spared Blofeld’s (Christoph Waltz) life at the conclusion of Spectre - a decision 007 will no doubt live to regret. But in the original James Bond movie continuity, it was Roger Moore’s version of 007 who avenged all of the pain Blofeld caused his predecessors, Sean Connery and George Lazenby....

Apple on Tuesday unveiled a new purple color for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini. Ahead of pre-orders beginning on Friday, a handful of early videos showcasing the new iPhone color have just gone live… Here’s how Apple marketing VP Greg Joswiak describes the new purple color: Writing for the Verge, Dieter Bohn has some more details on the specifics of the shade of purple Apple is using: This gorgeous new color joins the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini family, which is available in five other stunning finishes, and features an advanced dual-camera system, Super Retina XDR display, improved durability, A14 Bionic — the fastest chip ever in a smartphone — great battery life, and the best 5G experience on any smartphone....

Blake Lively plays an everyday person-turned highly skilled assassin in the trailer for Reed Morano’s The Rhythm Section. The upcoming action-thriller was once scheduled to arrive in February 2019, but ended up being delayed after Lively suffered a hand injury early on during production. Paramount later postponed it to late November and then again to January 2020, presumably to avoid having to pit The Rhythm Section against the many other movies that are currently slated to bow over this year’s pre-Thanksgiving weekend (like 21 Bridges and Frozen II)....
