You may be thinking that searching through a company’s own press releases as proof of their achievements is a bit of a cheat, research wise. They’re not going to be proactively distributing the bad stuff. Unhappy customers are a good resource for that, and so it’s worth noting that PostBeyond doesn’t have too many of those. Of their 255 people who reviewed PostBeyond on G2, 193 of them gave five stars....
Next year’s season of Power Rangers may be returning to the world of dinosaurs. Rumor has it that the long-running superhero series will be adapting the dino-centric Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger in 2021, after this year’s second season of Power Rangers Beast Morphers concludes its run. Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, or “Knight Dragon Squadron Ryusoulger,” is the 43rd season of Super Sentai, the long-running Japanese series from which Power Rangers takes its concept and battle footage....
Philips announced today at IFA 2018 in Berlin that it will update the Hue app for iOS with support for Siri Shortcuts. With Siri Shortcuts integration, Hue users will be able to further customize their Shortcuts to include Hue-specific lighting settings. As reported by iCulture, this means users will not need to use the Home app to control their Hue lights via Siri. Further, Hue lights will be able to directly integrate into Siri Shortcuts similar to how HomeKit also integrates with Shortcuts....

And also mentioned that the upcoming phone will be more focussed on speed, gaming, and performance, and will also include a good camera setup on top of it....
The fact that Apple was working on a smartwatch may have been one of the worst-kept secrets in the world, but the company did at least manage to keep us guessing about the form it would take – right down to whether the form factor would be square or circular. Was a square format the right choice? To help us form a view, UX/UI designer Alcion has put together a series of renders showing what the Apple Watch would look like with a round face … Take a look at the gallery below and let us know which you prefer....
I woke up today with an email that one of my favorite apps is going away. Record Bird was a tool that would let you know when your favorite artists had new music coming out. It’s being shut down tomorrow. The app could scan your Apple Music or Spotify database and import all of your existing artists. It would then build a list of release dates, recommend new ones, inform you of concert dates, etc....
Captain Jack Sparrow of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is considered such a goofy, lovable character by so many fans that people even dress up as the pirate for birthdays, renaissance fairs and other occasions. As funny as the eccentric Captain can be, he’s also pretty much the worst person ever, and his actions speak even louder than his fast talking (which is saying something). Jack Sparrow isn’t only a thorn in the side of authority; he also tends to be terrible to the people who care about him, proving over and over again that he is always his own number one priority....
The headline feature for Pixelmator 3.0 is the addition of layer styles. Layer styles apply effects such as strokes, fills, shadows and reflections to the entire layer in very few clicks. More importantly, these changes are non-destructive — they affect the layer, not the canvas pixels themselves. This means layer effects can be undone and manipulated without changing the underlying image data. In fact, layer styles can even be copied to the clipboard and duplicated across layers....

Pokémon Go will also kick off another in-game event next week leading up to the first day of summer.

Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Galar forms bring new life to old Pokemon designs and - as is the case with Galarian Linoone and Obstagoon - occasionally even add entirely new evolutions to existing Pokemon families. Obtaining these Pokemon can require some extra work, however, as Obstagoon is one of many Sword and Shield Pokemon with unique evolution requirements. Game Freak has been giving Pokemon special evolution techniques since Pokemon Red and Blue, with certain monsters requiring elemental evolution stone items to evolve or only evolving when traded....
In this Python Polymorphism tutorial, you will learn: What is Polymorphism? Polymorphism in Operators Polymorphism in user-defined methods Polymorphism in Functions Polymorphism and Inheritance Polymorphism with the Class Methods Difference between Method overloading and compile-time Polymorphism Polymorphism in Operators An operator in Python helps perform mathematical and several other programming tasks.

Chinese site CTechCN is showing photos of what they claim to be the logic board for the upcoming iPhone 5C. When compared with alleged photos of the iPhone 5S logic board, we can see slight design differences. Of course, like with many leaks, it’s tough to verify the legitimacy of these photos, so it’s wise not to read too far into them. Yesterday, the same site published photos of what they believed to be the packaging for the iPhone 5S, and before that, the packaging for the iPhone 5C....
Very likely the answer would involve a lengthy description starting from some findable landmark, such as a nearby address. That’s all well and good – and maybe even part of the charm – when it comes to finding a secret spot. But what if a person is experiencing cardiac arrest on that same spot and you need to direct first responders there? That description becomes imprecise and unwieldy, and the consequences can be dire....
Plex.app has been a fantastic media center option for Macs for a few years and as of last week, also on iOS devices. Interestingly, Plex today announced a huge deal with LG which will have the Plex software built into future LG HDTV displays, free of charge (except LG obviously has to cover the cost of additional hardware). At some point in the future, Plex will be ported to Windows (how about that!...
An iPhone 5c saved the life of a 25-year-old gunshot victim, according to British police (via Business Insider). The victim, who has not been named, was shot at close range with a shotgun and suffered serious abdominal injuries, but survived thanks to the iPhone 5c in his pocket taking the main force. The shooting happened when the victim approached a group of teenagers who had shut off the water supply to the apartment block in which he lived....
As rumors suggest that Apple might introduce a new Apple TV later this year, we want to know if you would prefer an upgraded Apple TV with improved hardware or just a cheaper model. When Apple TV was first introduced in 2007, televisions were completely different from what they are today. Most TVs lacked smart features at that time, while Apple TV offered a new and easy way to enjoy music, movies, and podcasts right on the TV....
Philips has confirmed on Facebook that it will be adding HomeKit support to its iPhone-controlled Hue lighting system – and that existing lights will be compatible. The post gives no specific details, but in response to a customer question about whether existing Hue lights will work with HomeKit, Philips confirmed that they will. The most likely approach is that Philips will offer a hub to act as a bridge between HomeKit and existing Hue products....

Early visitors through the doors of Apple Kawasaki have followed the rollout of a major retail expansion in Japan over the past two years. Apple Kawasaki’s architecture is subdued and straightforward. The store is spread across one large floor and marked on the exterior with stone panels and a lit Apple logo....
