A (relatively sketchy) leak posted to Weibo this morning purports to show a slide from an internal presentation at China Mobile, one of the largest iPhone carriers worldwide (via Macotakara). It claims that the 6.1-inch model is named ‘iPhone XC’ and the new high-end 6.5-inch phone is ‘iPhone XS Plus’. It also raises a few more details on pricing and availability … Leaks like these have been accurate in the past....

QR Codes are definitely a cool technology that are included on websites and other products. But having a QR Code on Bananas doesn’t seem to work. How many people would even know what the code is first of all. Secondly, who (other than a hardcore geek) is going to actually scan it with their mobile device?...

Earlier today, Apple released iOS 12.1.2 with bug fixes for eSIM as well as to address the patents involved in its Qualcomm legal battle. In a statement to Reuters, however, Qualcomm says that Apple “continues to flout the legal system by violating injunctions,” despite today’s iOS update. The situation has become incredibly complicated over the last week. On December 10th, China granted Qualcomm an injunction against certain iPhone models, with Qualcomm touting that the order banned “the import and sale of nearly all iPhone models in China....

HTC’s 2013 flagship phone, Samsung’s 2013 flagship phone, even LG’s 5.5 inch 1080p flagship, they all have one thing in common: They’re powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600.

When Stallone first penned the script to iconic underdog movie Rocky, producers offered it to buy off him so a major actor from that period - like Burt Reynolds or Ryan O’ Neal - could play the lead. Stallone insisted he star and the low-budget drama would eventually sweep the Oscars. While the movie wasn’t intended to spawn a sequel, Stallone would return to direct and star in Rocky II after the failure of his follow-up Paradise Alley....

Mona was dangerous because of how much of a chameleon she could be. One minute she was Hanna’s best friend and the next minute she was sporting a black hoodie and hitting Hanna with her car....

The FBI is seizing the 48 domains that facilitated DDoS attacks for paying customers against targeted computers. The DDoS attacks prevented the targeted computers from accessing the internet. According to the DoJ, the 48 websites were used to launch millions of DDoS attacks against victims around the world. The sites promoted themselves as a “stresser”, or a legitimate service to stress-test the customer’s network. But the FBI found this mechanism was a cover after viewing communications between the site administrators and customers, which indicated both parties were aware that the customer was not attempting to stress-test their own computers....
