Apple Ads Aren't Cool Anymore. Here's What I Think Changed

Nothing about Apple's latest promotional video felt like Apple. For over 7 minutes, an awkward comedian explains to a sleepy audience of disinterested teens that the only way parents will buy them an expensive MacBook for college is to make a convincing PowerPoint business presentation. Problem was, the presentation wasn't convincing -- and it was hard to tell who the video was even targeting. Do the parents who raised the iPad generation need to be swayed to buy Apple products?

The $3 trillion iPhone maker will allow developers in the bloc to offer apps designed for the iOS operating system in places other than Apple’s App Store, the company said.

Universal and Blumhouse’s first M3gan feature came out of nowhere with a premise so ridiculous and campy that it was hard not to be at least a little intrigued. Equal parts Child’s Play and Small Wonder, M3gan was undeniably silly with its story about an AI-powered doll who sang Sia’s “Titanium” and danced around as she chopped people

For the past few months, Phans (The Phantom of the Opera fans) have been following mysterious messages and clue drops around New York City for something called Masquerade. Talk online abounded about the roses left in Times Square or the red envelope letters signed by “the Opera Ghost” for the faithful, as a viral campaign teased that something was coming in the realm of immersive theater.

On Thursday, the company announced a new tier system for its Store Services fee that’s applied to purchases made outside apps, and it will only give developers access to the full set of App Store features if they give Apple a larger commission. Tier 1 of the Store Services fee will provide developers with only basic App Store features for a ch

OnePlus Watch 3 Gets Smaller Size Because Not Everybody Has Hulk Wrists

Thanks to Sailor of Triad, a rare prototype of Alien 3 for the Commodore 64 has just been discovered recently. This was a demo that was seemingly produced for producer Joe Bonar to take a look at back in the day to see progress with the project. It is possible that it could have been also passed onto magazines for screenshots – which makes it a shame that it wasn’t included as a demo on the likes of Commodore Force or Format at the time.
