James Bond is one of the longest-running movie franchises of all time. Since 1962, Bond has gripped us all with his daring missions, high tech gadgets, and terrifying villains. Due to the fact that the film series has been running for so long, there is a wealth of villains in Bond’s rogues’ gallery. Some of these villains are laughably bad, with schemes that have been parodied over the years, while others can be creepy and unnerving, imposing, or just outright scary....

During VJUNC, Jamf announced the acquisition of Mondada, the creator of Kinobi and Kinobi Pro. They provide solutions in patch management for the Apple products in the enterprise. We’ve been covering all that’s gone on at the first-ever virtual Jamf Nation User Conference, so check out the information on Jamf Connect 2.0 and all the work Jamf is doing to assist organizations during COVID-19. Mondada is a five-person company based in Melbourne, Australia that was founded in 2009....

While some have been disappointed that Apple hasn’t yet incorporated wireless charging technology into its devices, charging pads are really almost as clunky as wires: you still have wires going to the pads, and you have to put your device in a specific place to charge them. What we really want is true wireless charging, where power is beamed directly to the device through the air. Which is exactly what Energous has been demonstrating at CES with a system it calls WattUp, reports Engadget....

YouTube user UnboxTherapy has posted a new video detailing the dimensions of what looks to be the shell for the second generation iPad mini. The shell of the iPad mini appears to remain largely unchanged, but when compared to the casing for the upcoming 5th generation iPad, we can see that the two appear to be the same thickness. Update: DetroitBORG provides a even more detailed look: Earlier today, we saw a closer look at the shell for the 5th generation 9....

Good Technology, a company behind a BlackBerry-like enterprise messaging server, is out with their latest data report on mobile devices in the workplace, gathered from thousands of customers, including 40 of the Fortune 100. The full report (available here) shows the explosion of iPads, iPhones and Android handsets in the workplace in the period between December 2010 through March 2011. John Herrema, senior vice president of corporate strategy with Good Technology, said in a statement that the arrival of Verizon iPhone and release of iPad 2 helped Apple make strong enterprise gains....

Ahead of iPhone 12 mini and Pro Max pre-orders going live on November 6, Apple has updated a support document covering MagSafe charging details for the latest iPhones. Notably, the 12 mini won’t see the same 15W MagSafe charging as the other models and Apple has also shared some other interesting tidbits like having Lightning accessories plugged in will mean reduced charging speeds. As we covered after the iPhone 12 event, the new iPhones can see 2x the wireless charging power with MagSafe (15W) that iPhone 11 and older can handle over the Qi wireless standard (7....

Image via Gizmag Tinhte.vn is reporting this afternoon that Apple’s next-generation iPhone (assumed to be dubbed the iPhone 5S) will include an all new 12-megapixel camera as well as an improved night shooting mode. Interestingly, MacRumors notes that the report originates from “Wonderful Saigon Electrics in Binh Duong, which specializes in providing camera modules for the iPhone.” This report doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise, considering that Apple typically features camera improvements in “S” models of the iPhone and included an improved 8 megapixel camera in its iPhone 4S (the 5 did get an improved sapphire lens and other minor improvements)...

As rumors about what the ‘iPhone 7’ update will include have reached wide consensus (similar design to iPhone 6s, redesigned antenna lines, new cameras, removal of headphone jack), news about availability and release date are starting to surface. Evan Blass, @evleaks, said he believes the iPhone 7 will be released week of September 12. Over the weekend, he strengthened his claim by indicating that his claim is referring to the retail release date, specifically that the new iPhone will go on sale on Friday, September 16th …...

New iPhone renders created from a ‘highly detailed CAD file’ show an iPhone 8 design with embedded Home button, glass back and what appears to be an area carved out for a wireless charging coil. The report itself is rather confused, describing it as the iPhone 8 while suggesting the two sizes expected for the iPhone 7s, and referring to a separate ‘tenth anniversary phone’ – but what is shown matches up with the rumors for the flagship iPhone 8 …...

Among the gloomy predictions being made for iPhone X sales, analysts were predicting that lead iPhone assembler Foxconn would announce declining profits for Q4 2017 … In fact, reports Reuters, it has just announced a 4.2% growth in net profit year-on-year. There have been widespread reports that iPhone X sales were slower than Apple expected in the launch quarter. This led the company to halve orders for the current quarter, giving new impetus by Apple announcing a slight year-on-year decline in iPhone sales in a quarter many had expected to be boosted by the all-new iPhone X design....

There is an innate struggle in supernatural shows, particularly those that skew younger, in that the threats these characters are facing are so large that any deviation from the mission of defeating feels a tad hollow. Teen Wolf had this problem. The Vampire Diaries had this problem. Hell, even Buffy the Vampire Slayer had this problem. Who honestly has time to for sex or dating when there’s a crazy monster or madman threatening to destroy the city - or even the world?...

Despite the fact that they wallow among the most terrible human beings on television, the Gang from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia have been some of the most beloved TV characters for over a decade now. Part of what makes the dark humor of the show work is that, even though these people are degenerates who spend their days chugging beer and seeing through the most insane schemes ever conceived, it never works out for them and they are always the butt of the joke....

Jessica Jones. It’s been a great run for this series, but unfortunately, we all know that there’s only going to be one more season (for now). There’s still so much that this series could cover, and very little time to do it with. We can only hope that the show got more warning than Luke Cage did, so that it didn’t leave us on a cliffhanger. There are definitely things we’re hoping to see in the third season....

Far before the Jonas Brothers returned to the spotlight, they were starring in their own TV show on the Disney Channel. Jonas (also known as Jonas L.A. during its second season) had the brothers portraying fictional versions of themselves as they navigated high school, rock star life, and girls. Though the brothers revealed that their involvement with the show (which aired from 2009 to 2010) wasn’t as positive as it might have appeared to viewers, we thought it was still worth going back and remembering those early days....

Some of the most sought-after certifications are provided by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, or (ISC)², a global, non-profit body that, since 1989, sets training standards for the information security industry and offers internationally-recognized, vendor-neutral security certifications that demonstrate applied expertise in different areas of information security.

A new type of prosthetic hand partly controlled by an iPhone app has allowed a father to hold his daughter’s hand for the first time since an accident four years ago in which both hands had to be amputated … Conventional prosthetic hands have a limited range of movements, typically with all four fingers moving together and a simple pincer movement of the thumb. 34-year-old Jason Koger has now been fitted with a pair of ultra-sophisticated bionic hands which allow each finger to move independently, and the thumb to rotate....

What’s interesting about the FM tuner inside the iPod nano is its capacity to rewind up to 15-minutes of a radio show, and a new tagging tool which lets users make a note of songs they’ve enjoyed for later purchase through iTunes, using technology from the Radio Advertising Bureau’s “Buy From FM” platform. This is a significant move, which boosts just how attractive standard FM radio broadcasts can now be in a digital age....

Earlier this week the iPod touch received a modest upgrade, arriving with little fanfare via an Apple press release. The new 7th-generation iPod touch has little in the way of new features, but it does receive a CPU spec-bump that takes it from an iPhone 6-era Apple A8 to an iPhone 7-era A10 Fusion chip, not to mention double the RAM of the previous generation. The new hardware upgrades make it so that iPod touch users can enjoy Augmented Reality (AR) apps along with Group FaceTime capability for the first time....

1Password: Subscription or Stand-Alone? If you’re on the subscription plan, you’re upgraded. Nothing more you need to do. That’s the beauty of a subscription. I debated about switching to subscription. The advantages are primarily automatic upgrades to the latest version. They also do the syncing for you with the service. The service gives you more control if something goes wrong and gives you access to your passwords on other devices....
