Pain Hustlers. | Image: Brian Douglas / Netflix Film festivals like TIFF are a great chance to get a sense of what’s coming to theaters in the coming months, but they’re also a good way to preview the upcoming streaming calendar. Last year in Toronto, for example, Netflix gave an early look at two of its biggest releases with both Wendell & Wild and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. This year was no different, with upcoming movies coming to Netflix, Hulu, and Apple TV Plus all part of the program. (The streamers also went shopping at TIFF, so there’s more on the way: Netflix acquired the rights to both Anna Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour and Richard Linklater’s Hit Man during the festival.)The good news is that you can stream a number of these movies from home very soon. Plan your... Continue reading…

Wojciechowska posted a screenshot over the weekend suggesting that, at least for business customers, the Pixel 8 Pro might keep the... Continue reading…

Google antitrust trial on Tuesday, as the trial enters its third week. Cue’s presence, which Apple fought to avoid, underscores Apple’s importance to the Justice Department’s case against Google — which alleges that the company’s juggernaut search engine violates antitrust law.

The AirPods Pro 2 are arguably the best wireless earbuds for iPhone users, offering a wide range of features in a compact build. They are the only Apple pods to sport active noise cancelation (ANC) with adaptive transparency, plus they feature spatial audio and much more. So, expectedly, these AirPods come with an expensive price tag. Apple just announced that you can now purchase the AirPods Pro 2 with a USB-C charging case, but thankfully, the cost has remained the same between Lightning and USC-C models.

So small, so powerful. | Image: Apple The most significant new thing in the iPhone 15 Pro this year isn’t its lighter titanium frame, new A17 Pro processor, or its camera system (although all are appreciated). For me, it’s the Action Button: the little button above the volume keys that replaces the mute switch that had been on every iPhone since the very first one.The Action Button is perhaps the biggest hardware upgrade the iPhone line has received in years. It’s not a particularly advanced piece of technology — it’s literally just a button — but its programmability lets you use your iPhone in completely new ways.Apple showcased the Action Button in its announcement of the iPhone 15 Pro, and it was highlighted in many reviews that followed (including our own). But it... Continue reading…
