Fred von Lohmann, a legal representative from the EFF, says that recent comments filed by Apple (PDF) with the Copyright Office as part of the 2009 DMCA triennial rulemaking state that iPhone and iPod jailbreaking constitutes copyright infringement and a DMCA violation. Bummer. To quote the EFF: Apple’s iPhone, now the best-selling cellular phone in the U.S., has been designed with restrictions that prevent owners from running applications obtained from sources other than Apple’s own iTunes App Store....

One of Apple’s suppliers, Japan Display has had a challenging time over the last few years.

Jillian Michaels, from The Biggest Loser fame, said she regrets involving Lizzo into her discussion about healthy weight. The fitness guru has received an overwhelming backlash in response to her comments about the pop superstar. Michaels told Buzzfeed that Lizzo might get diabetes because of her weight and that fans should celebrate her music, not her body. The fallout against Jillian Michaels has been so brutal, the fitness star posted a photo of herself when she was 175 lbs (which went viral January 17) to curry favor with the growing number of outraged Lizzo supporters, and as an inspiration to others....

You definitely know his voice, and you’re undoubtedly familiar with his body of work, but if the average Joe found themselves walking past John Ratzenberger on the sidewalk, chances are they’d never know that they just walked past one of the most iconic Pixar voice actors of all time. Make no mistake, the fact that John Ratzenberger may not have the most recognizable face is only because his most famous roles are those where he lends his voice instead - and there have been a lot....

iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro introduce a new Night mode feature for capturing impossible low light shots that wouldn’t be usable otherwise. The telephoto lens on new Max models also captures more light without Night mode thanks to its ƒ/2.0 aperture compared to ƒ/2.4 on iPhone XS Max. Both camera improvements make the iPhone 11 lineup ideal for catching a memorable photo in a dark concert venue, and the standard wide lens is no slouch....

The Irish coronavirus contact tracing app was launched yesterday, and has already been installed by more than 10% of the country’s population in less than 24 hours … The stat was noted by Steve Troughton-Smith. The app provides privacy assurances by using the Apple/Google API, which has doubtless encouraged adoption. It had earlier been speculated that the app would have to be available in the UK App Store so that it works in Northern Ireland, and we can confirm that this is indeed the case....

Update: A spokesperson for Beats Music confirmed to us that “Trent Reznor is still with Beats Music.” Jimmy Iovine has long credited Nine Inch Nails frontman and Beats Music Chief Creative Officer Trent Reznor as a driving force behind the success of the service. Reznor, however, is now rumored to have left the company as it finalizes its $3B sell to Apple.

In the 40-plus years that the NBC sketch comedy institution Saturday Night Live has been on the air, the show has naturally seen lots of cast turnover. Sometimes cast members leave after long tenures, some leave after short runs to move on to solo projects, and others are let go after having been deemed expendable by producers. To date, SNL has played host to nearly 150 regular cast members, and it’s hard to imagine the seemingly eternal show, which has garnered some of its best ratings this season, not one day hitting the 200 cast member mark....

There’s a very strong case to be made that Goodfellas might be their best work together. This 1990 crime epic charts the rise and fall of main character Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), who is seduced by the mafia lifestyle until the good things inevitably crumble. From Scorsese’s slick direction to the fantastic performances, including Joe Pesci’s Oscar-winning turn as psychotic gangster Tommy, it’s a near-flawless movie. Some critics felt Goodfellas easily deserved the Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards too, which instead went to Dances With Wolves and its helmer Kevin Costner....

Reuters had claimed that Apple’s decision to sell the newly-released compilation, ‘Songs for Tibet’ caused Chinese internet police to pull the plug on iTunes access in the country – though Chinese music fans can’t actually buy music from foreign-based music stores. The Songs for Tibet album features 20 tracks from a range of artists, including Moby and Alanis Morissette. What’s apparently caused access to be blocked was that at least 40 athletes in the Olympic village had downloaded the music to play on their iPods in support of the campaign to Free Tibet....
