CES saw the first third-party USB-C to Lightning cables break cover from companies like Griffin and Belkin, and now popular purveyor of ion-stimulating apparatus Anker has confirmed it’s getting in on the game. The company claims (via 9to5Mac) that its Powerline cable will have “a bend lifespan of over 5 times higher than any other cable in the market,” while the Powerline+ will gain extra strength through an aluminum shell and braided nylon.
Anker is also releasing a USB-C to female Lightning cable that’s primarily designed as an audio adapter, letting you use Lightning headphones with USB-C devices like the new iPad Pro or recent Apple laptops. The USB-C to Lightning cables will go on sale in March from $20.99 and the audio adapter...
A recent report on carrier tracking has sparked a growing feud between FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and the Congressional committee charged with overseeing him. Last Friday, Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) sent a letter to Pai requesting an “emergency briefing,” following reports that the nation’s largest cellphone carriers were disclosing consumers’ real-time location data. But according to Pallone, Pai has refused to hold the briefing.
“Today, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai refused to brief Energy and Commerce Committee staff on the real-time tracking of cell phone location,” Pallone said. “In a phone conversation today, his staff asserted that these egregious actions are not a threat to the safety of human life or...
Spoiler warning: This review reveals some plot points of the first three episodes of The Passage.
The road to hell may be paved with good intentions, but in Fox’s new show The Passage, which premieres on January 14th, the road to the end of the world is paved with bad ideas. Based on Justin Cronin’s best-selling trilogy about the vampire apocalypse, the show uses voice-over from spunky orphan turned government test subject Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney) throughout its first episode to provide ominous foreshadowing, showing how the characters’ mixture of bad circumstances and highly questionable responses are going to lead to even more horrible outcomes. “I didn’t used to believe in monsters, but I do now,” Amy says. “I saw them change...
NBCUniversal is joining the streaming wars, announcing that it will launch its own standalone streaming service in 2020.
An ad-supported version of the streaming service will be free for NBC TV subscribers in the United States, and will also be made available to Comcast Cable and Sky subscribers internationally, too. Paid versions of the app, which include an ad-free version for those who don’t want to sit through commercials, will also be available for $12.99, according to a CNBC report. This will allow cord cutters who don’t subscribe to NBC to access the streaming service, too.
Much like CBS All Access, NBCUniversal’s streaming service will offer original programming for subscribers alongside its catalog of titles. Shows like 30...
The publisher of Red Dead Redemption 2 has thrown down a legal gauntlet against the security company Pinkerton — which demanded royalties for using its name in the game. According to a complaint filed late last week, Pinkerton sent Take-Two Interactive a cease-and-desist letter over the characters of Andrew Milton and Edgar Ross, a pair of Pinkerton agents and major antagonists in the game. Now, Take-Two is suing to have the characters declared fair use, arguing that they’re part of Red Dead Redemption 2’s detailed historical setting.
Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations (now a subsidiary of security firm Securitas AB) delivered its cease-and-desist order in December, roughly two months after Red Dead Redemption 2’s release. It...
The Pwn2Own contest is one of the biggest events in competitive security research, a place where up-and-coming hackers can show off their skills and earn money by finding new vulnerabilities in widely used programs. But this year, there will be a new target on the list — a brand-new Tesla Model 3.
Tesla is partnering with the event’s organizers to include the Model 3 as the sole target in the automotive category, challenging hackers to find new ways to compromise the car’s security. The car is also a prize, to be awarded to a single winner in the automotive category.
It’s the first time a car has been put to the test at Pwn2Own, and a measure of Tesla’s commitment to digital security. “Our work with the security research community is...
CBS All Access announced today its plans to add another Star Trek series to its lineup, with Michelle Yeoh set to star in the leading role as Captain Philippa Georgiou. Today’s news confirms the rumors that had been circulating since November, and it means this Star Trek Discovery spinoff will be the fourth series to expand on the Star Trek franchise for CBS’s streaming service.
What’s the show about? SPOILER ALERT:
The series will follow Captain Georgiou’s alternate counterpart from the Mirror Universe, where she was the villainous Emperor of the Terran Empire. Executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth, and Aaron Baiers, and writers Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt will chronicle her journey during...
Apple says it wanted to use Qualcomm modems in the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR — but that Qualcomm refused to sell them after Apple sued over its licensing practices. “In the end they would not support us or sell us chips,” Apple’s chief operating officer Jeff Williams revealed today during his testimony to the US Federal Trade Commission, as spotted by CNET. Apple had to use Intel’s LTE chips instead.
Qualcomm is currently on trial, accused of engaging in monopolistic practices including charging unusually high royalty rates, refusing to license patents to other chipmakers, and promising deals to customers like Apple if they exclusively used Qualcomm chips.
While it originally appeared that Apple had shifted to exclusively using Intel...
TCL’s 6-Series 4K HDR televisions are the best that you can get for under $1,000, and you have the rare opportunity to pick up the 65-inch version for $849.99 — it usually hovers just north of $1,000 — at Amazon, Walmart, and Target. If that’s a bit too big for your home or your price range, the 55-inch version is discounted to $629.99 from its usual $799.99.
TCL’s 6-Series is a good choice if you’re looking to make some budget-friendly home entertainment revisions before the 2019 Super Bowl or for any other reason. It’s not on the list of TVs to receive AirPlay 2 — blame Roku, not TCL — but nevertheless, this TV is slim, supports Dolby Vision and HDR 10, and the LED performance is arguably the best you can get for the price.

English cricket's top administrator believes the world game's best players will be involved when the controversial new Hundred tournament is launched next year, despite the scepticism of India captain Virat Kohli.
Having been whitewashed in a three-match Test series against South Africa, Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur said the beating will serve as a reality check for the team. The Sarfraz Ahmed-led side lost the final Test by 107 runs in Johannesburg on Monday (January 14), allowing South Africa to clinch the series 3-0.
His experience in tough pressure situations, both with the bat and in the field, will undoubtedly be invaluable but India cannot afford what happened at the SCG very often.
South Africa leapfrogged New Zealand and England to take the second spot in the ICC Test Team Rankings after sweeping Pakistan 3-0 on Monday (January 14).
Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was disappointed that his team was unable to perform with the bat when needed but credited Olivier for his performance throughout the three Tests.

It’s been a long, long time since we witnessed Otis, Baby, and Captain Spaulding meet their bloody end in the Bonnie and Clyde-style climax of The Devil’s Rejects, but it appears that neither time nor a hail of bullets can dampen the mean streak of these murderous antiheroes, with the trio set to return to screens later this year in Three From Hell.
Rob Zombie first introduced us to these psychopaths back in 2003’s House of 1000 Corpses, and in a recent Instagram post, the director revealed that he’s now completed work on the threequel. Unfortunately, he still doesn’t have a firm release date or even any plot details for us to feast on, but with his job now done, it’s surely only a matter of time before the marketing machine spins up and gives us something substantial.
For the moment, though, we remain in the dark in regards to what to expect, though it doesn’t seem like Three From Hell will be a mere retread of the first two installments. Late last year, Zombie teased that it’ll be a departure of sorts from Rejects and 1000 Corpses, and while he didn’t say much more than that, the many set pics we’ve seen already indicate that there’s some courtroom drama to be had in this next flick.
But don’t be mistaken in thinking that that means the director’s going to be holding back, because actor Bill Mosely recently promised fans that this long-awaited Devil’s Rejects sequel will be bringing the gore and violence.
“It’s chockablock with gratuitous violence [laughs], which is great, because lately there have been a lot of good horror movies that just don’t have a lot of that,” he said. “I mean, the violence is skillful, it’s effective, but it’s not gratuitous, and that’s what I think the fans are missing. I think we just want a lot of violence for violence’s sake—decapitations, shotguns to the face, just general ass-kickin’ stuff that we’re not really getting much of these day.”
That’s certainly exciting to hear, and though we’ve still yet to get an official release date for Three From Hell, it should be with us in Q2 or Q3, at which point, Moseley assures us that our “mindsies are gonna be big time blown.”
This year will see the 40th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Alien, the first and arguably best entry in this enduring sci-fi franchise, and to mark the occasion, 20th Century Fox is releasing a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray package that will be available in the UK from April 1st, 2019.
As it stands, Fox has yet to share many details about the features of this package, nor have they announced any plans for a North American equivalent. Nonetheless, we expect Alien to get the 4K treatment for the US soon enough, with the release date likely to fall somewhere close to the anniversary of the film’s release on May 25th, 1979.
In the years since Alien and its similarly beloved 1986 follow-up Aliens hit theaters, the franchise has yielded several more sequels and spinoff works, all of which have brought in responses that ranged from mixed to negative, but for the first time in a while, it’s looking genuinely uncertain whether the property still has another movie left in it.
Though there was hope a few years ago that District 9 director Neill Blomkamp might helm a timeline-altering reboot that disregarded all of the events that followed on from the franchise’s first two entries, the project was ultimately shelved. And while the recent announcement of a new Alien mobile game briefly had fans hoping that this was just the beginning of a revival for the series, FoxNext’s VP of external development clarified last week that the product was a mere one-off.
To make matters worse, a report published last August in The Wall Street Journal suggested that the Alien franchise’s new owners at Disney could be looking to “scale back production of costly movies that don’t fit its family-friendly, franchise-focused formula,” which would likely mean bad news for this typically gruesome property.
Nonetheless, if you feel like revisiting the franchise at its dread-inducing peak, news on a 4K Ultra HD Alien release for the United States could be just around the corner.
