The information was supposedly relayed during what Apple calls an “all hands meeting” at one of Apple’s stores. MacRumors cites an Apple retail employee for what would seem like a highly unlikely story of the iPhone 6 launching on October 14th....

Google may be a household name and the most-used search engine, but there have been some privacy issues related to it over the years. One of the main issues is that it tracks and retains some or all of your search history, even when you aren’t logged in.

Alison DiLaurentis and Aria Montgomery are two of the main characters on the popular teen drama, Pretty Little Liars. The duo has one of the more complicated relationships in the series. While Alison has defined relationships with all the other girls, she and Aria were always a little more distant.

When DC announced Lois Lane would be getting her own comic book series, fans expected to see a take of Lois on the job, chasing down corruption like the award winning reporter she’s always been. That may have been how the Lois Lane series started, but now she’s in an investigation that’s putting her life in jeopardy–and not even Superman can talk her out of it. The case remains the same, following the misappropriated money intended to build Trump-esque border camps for those seeking asylum....

Because beacons are inexpensive (a beacon costs less than USD 25) and can be easily placed wherever people carrying mobile phones walk by, it is expected that the use of beacons in the near future will increase significantly. BI Intelligence forecasts that by 2018 there will be 4.5 million beacons. An article published by Business Insider stated that the business of in-store beacons is “the fastest-growing in-store technology since mobile credit card readers....

The so-called edge market for AI has been a huge area of late, with startups receiving tens of millions in venture capital to come up with chips and software. The edge effort has led to special development tools for machine-learning forms of AI, such as the TinyML initiative from Google. Those two paths represent two philosophies: Either make edge devices more powerful, or slim down AI programs to use fewer calculations....

While there’s little question that Apple will release an iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus next month, analysts and supply chain rumors have been all over the map as to when Apple will introduce a so-called iPhone 6C. Prominent leaker Evan Blass chimed in today with a tweet countering the general consensus, writing: “Sounds like iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, and 6c will all arrive concurrently.” Given Blass’s track record of accurately revealing details of unreleased smartphones under the @evleaks Twitter account, it’s worth considering that Apple could indeed release a new iPhone 6C alongside the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus at next month’s expected event....

Even major internet browsers like Google Chrome and Apple’s Safari removed its functionality last year. But just because Flash has been discontinued doesn’t mean that scammers aren’t still trying to use it for nefarious purposes. Let’s look at the latest phony Flash alert making the rounds, designed to rip you off. Here’s the backstory Hackers have been using Google Alerts to create fake news articles to find new victims.

Chipmaker Qualcomm has announced its latest Near Field Communication chip this evening that is being boasted as ultra-low power, with a footprint 50 percent smaller than other chips, at a significant cost savings. NFC technology has been long rumored to land in devices out of Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple, allowing customers to establish connection between devices or for mobile payments (see: Google Wallet).

For a TV show that is incredibly popular, there have been many twists and storylines on Pretty Little Liars that fans didn’t agree with. From various characters being members of the A-Team to favorite couples breaking up, fans felt very passionate about every single episode of the show’s seven-season run. Every series will have some bad episodes, and they often feature unpopular stories or minor characters. Let’s take a look at the episodes of PLL that have been given the lowest ratings....

Pretty Little Liars started airing in June 2010 and ended in June 2017, and in that period of time, there have been countless teen dramas and mystery shows.

It was also observed that the iPad’s design meant it was easily bent in half with just a little amount of force....

Later today Apple is set to pull the plug on Beats Music and completely stop the service. The reason?
