I’ve been using Apple’s extended wired keyboard for something like a decade – since it came out in 2007 – mostly because it feels the same as my MacBook Pro’s keys and it’s more reliable than Bluetooth – it just works for me. Logitech makes some pretty good keyboards in their own right. I love their solar offerings for instance. But because the ol’ Apple extended is there and it feels like my MacBook’s keyboard, I usually end up going back to what I’m used to after trialling other keyboards....

Two trends in iPhones might seem to place the interests of Apple and its customers on opposite sides of the fence. Making iPhones more expensive seems good for Apple, bad for customers. Conversely, making iPhones last longer would seem good for customers, bad for Apple. But all is not necessarily as it seems, argues one of the smarter Apple analysts … Horace Dediu said he was surprised there wasn’t more market reaction to something Apple VP Lisa Jackson said during the iPhone presentation....

The Second Age and the Third Age are 3000 years apart. The significant time gap means that the show will focus on a completely different cast of characters. While people of Middle-earth are unusually long-lived, such as Gandalf who lived for 2000 years, it’s not likely the series will feature many - if any - familiar faces. Setting the show in a completely different era will allow the series to showcase a much different side of Middle-earth than what fans have seen before....

Edgar Wright is currently in post-production on his first ever straight horror movie, titled Last Night in Soho. His first major movie was Shaun of the Dead, a horror-comedy that isn’t light on either horror or comedy, while elements of terror can be found in Wright’s other movies, like the cloaked serial killers of Hot Fuzz or the bloodthirsty alien robots of The World’s End. However, his latest movie is his first entry in the bona fide horror genre, and based on the mastery of the filmmaking craft shown in his previous films, moviegoers are pretty excited....

It’s been a few years since the Apple vs FBI case, where The FBI asked Apple if they could create a backdoor into their operating system for law enforcement to easily access iPhone data. Apple, famously said no, that creating a backdoor would wreak havoc if left in the wrong hands. Today, Reuters reports that lawmakers believe that the FBI wasn’t trying hard enough, noting that the firm took the easy route....

An M1 MacBook Pro photo editing test found that the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro running M1-optimized apps was faster than a ‘”beast” of a Windows desktop PC – despite the fact that the latter was specifically specced with photo editing in mind and had a massive 128 GB of RAM. Professional photographer Andrew Hoyle said that he was “astonished” by the performance, and concludes that an M1 Mac is a safe bet for photographers looking to upgrade…...

The first female-fronted solo movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has rapidly become a critical and commercial success, with Brie Larson’s turn as Carol Danvers proving to be another hit for the superhero franchise.

This survey serves as a clear and direct way to understand and derive insights around the profession of cybersecurity. Some of the findings aren’t new, such as the skills shortage, but new and emerging results are intriguing as well, especially around career paths. The survey took place in late 2019 and early 2020, prior to the coronavirus pandemic, so the findings don’t take these massive changes into consideration. We’ll take a deep dive into each conclusion and what it means for cybersecurity professionals....

UKG, Kronos’ parent company, said the vital service will be out for “several weeks” and urged customers to “evaluate and implement alternative business continuity protocols related to the affected UKG solutions.” In a statement to ZDNet, UKG said it “recently became aware of a ransomware incident that has disrupted the Kronos Private Cloud,” which they said “houses solutions used by a limited number of our customers.” “We recognize the seriousness of the issue and have mobilized all available resources to support our customers and are working diligently to restore the affected services,” the company said....

Back in August, U.S. District Judge Lucy H. Koh threw out a class action lawsuit against Apple from former iPhone users complaining that text messages were no longer delivered when they ported their number to an Android phone. The lawsuit alleged that Apple was guilty of “interference” with their messages. That wasn’t quite the end of it, however. Three of the plaintiffs persisted in individual claims against Apple, alleging that the company was in breach of the Federal Wire Tap Act by ‘intercepting’ their messages....

“The conventional solutions to application security problems tend to be completely backward,” says Ted Harrington, a renowned speaker, author and ethical hacker. “To stay ahead of cybercriminals, you have to learn how attackers think, how they operate and how they break systems.” That’s why Harrington created his new 11-course Infosec Skills learning path, How to Do Application Security Right, named after his best-selling book. The learning path identifies cybersecurity misconceptions many organizations have about application security (AppSec)....
