The lack of Calendar support for Siri on HomePod has been a glaring issue of Apple’s home speaker since its release earlier this year. Now new evidence suggests that will soon change when iOS 11.4 is released. Siri Personal Requests on HomePod currently only work for Messages, Reminders and Notes. These are associated with the iPhone that was used to set up HomePod and only work for a single user when both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network....

iFixit has now posted its teardown of the HomePod, shining light on exactly what is beneath the seamless fabric mesh. The company says that the HomePod is built like a tank, so whilst it only scores 1/10 on the repairability scale it is made to last. It was apparently one of the hardest ever projects, with iFixit even resorting to a hacksaw at one stage. The teardown reveals how the Siri waveform is formed on the top of the speaker; an LED matrix sits just below the surface with the light blurred by a diffuser....

The Fate of the Furious was always going to be big, although few predicted it would be this big. Far-out box office tracking had it set for an impressive haul, then week of release estimates upped that to over $400 million. Yet even those were massively off. When the weekend finally came to a close, it became apparent that the eighth movie in the Fast and Furious franchise wasn’t just having a big open: it was the biggest opening weekend of all time, making $532....

How I Met Your Mother’s Ted and Barney are a dynamic duo. They’re extremely different but they also balance each other out well. However, these two aren’t exactly good friends to one another. Barney is selfish and often only cares about himself while Ted just doesn’t have much faith in their friendship. The show seems to paint this friendship as one fans should root for, but as the series goes on, it gets harder and harder to believe that Barney and Ted really are best buds....

The demonic clown Pennywise is recognized as the antagonist of Stephen King’s IT, but the clown plays a much bigger part in the author’s book universe. Dedicated Stephen King fans know that across his dozens of books there are interconnected universes. Not every character is isolated in their own individual story, and they sometimes reappear in other books as either an easter egg or as a significant character. Pennywise is one of those characters that has appeared in books beside his own, further cementing his status as an ancient evil with pervasive influence in Derry, Maine, where IT takes place, and beyond....

Fans of Power Rangers are understandably already impatient for the inevitable sequel, which is still a couple of years away from release. Luckily, there are comics to help cope with the long wait.Published by BOOM! Studios, Saban’s Power Rangers: Aftershock is an official follow up to the hit film, set in the movie’s universe. Written by Ryan Parrott and drawn by Lucas Werneck and Robert Carey, Aftershock picks up where the movie left off and delves a bit deeper into how the people of Angel Grove are coping with the new reality of the Power Rangers among them, as well as how the Rangers continue to adjust to their newfound powers and responsibilities....

Hollow Man marked acclaimed filmmaker Paul Verhoeven’s jump into the horror genre with an effects-heavy update to H.G. Wells’ The Invisible Man, but the adaptation falls short in many respects. All of the classical creatures from the stable of Universal Monsters have set strong templates for each of their respective characters. The original films from the black-and-white era are still looked at in high regard, but there have also been plenty of creative, ambitious remakes that range from Oscar-winning feature films like The Shape of Water to fun B-movies like Verhoeven’s Hollow Man....

Molekule debuted the world’s first molecular air purifier with the “Air” back in 2017 and it arrived with a handy iOS app. Now the company is taking smart home connectivity a step further and bringing HomeKit support to its Mini+ molecular air purifier and it’s landing at Apple Stores and Apple.com in the US. Read on for a closer look at this top-notch HomeKit air purifier. HEPA air purifiers have been the standard for some time, but Molekule’s technology that comes from over 20 years of research and development goes even further....

Horror video games are not only a popular genre in the gaming world, but their film adaptations, such as the popular Resident Evil franchise, showed that horror can transcend media types and disprove the video game curse. The film debuted in 2002 and starred Milla Jovovich as Alice (who wasn’t even a game character), Michelle Rodriguez, Eric Mabius, and James Purefoy. While the first film was more firmly embedded in the games’ horror roots, it continued in a similar trajectory to the games themselves, adapting more high-octane elements to become an action/horror crossover and raked in tons of money at the box office....

Microsoft took a huge PR beating before the release of the Xbox One when they announced draconian online DRM requirements, giving the PlayStation 4 a big head start in public opinion – but perhaps an all-digital next gen Xbox could give the platform the advantage it needs this time around. Plus with streaming-only platforms like Google Stadia chomping at the bit to gobble up the home console market, a low cost online-only device could be just the ticket to carve out a new niche and reinvigorate casual and core console gamers alike....

If there’s one app I’d be lost without on macOS, it would Alfred. I’ve been using Alfred for years, and I continually discover new ways to use it. So what is Alfred? If I had to sum up Alfred into one sentence, it would be: It’s macOS spotlight on steroids. In my day job, I spend a lot of time using other people’s computers, and whenever I hit CMD+Space, I am immediately reminded of how much I’ve come to rely on Alfred....

Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) may not be getting the grand romantic ending that fans are hoping for them in The Big Bang Theory. But there’s still a way to craft a satisfying send-off to the show’s inaugural couple. It’s no secret that the Hofstadters have been sidetracked by the show for the last several seasons now. After their on-and-off relationship in The Big Bang Theory’s early years and whirlwind weddings in season 9, there had been barely any movement with their relationship - something that the couple themselves acknowledge from time-to-time in the show....

Patreon provides a straightforward way for these people’s supporters to make payments to the creators they love. They can often make small regular payments, rather than having to fork out a considerable sum at once to purchase one of their preferred creator’s works. As the site’s name suggests, the people who pay money on Patreon become the creators’ patrons. Creators can use Patreon to build a community and at the same time either establish a regular recurring income or ask for one-off payments....

The HomePod mini went up for purchase last week and the first orders will arrive to customers on November 16. Ahead of that availability, the first reviews of the HomePod mini have now been published, and the sound quality is being almost universally praised. TechCrunch says that the $99 HomePod mini offers “remarkably big sound” for its size and price point. The review specifically praises the 360-degree sound: Engadget also praises the HomePod mini’s sound quality, with the qualification that it’s “still a small speaker....

The Honda Civic Type R has long been one of the most iconic ‘hot hatches,’ offering sportcar performance in a body based on the company’s 5-door hatchback. It’s never before been on sale in the USA, but the company has announced that all that is changing with the 2017 model, which will be available from this spring. Along with squeezing 306 horsepower into a 2-litre DOHC engine, the car will come with CarPlay support as standard …...

Honeywell is announcing a new HomeKit-enabled Wi-Fi thermostat today called the Lyric T5 that will cost $149.99. HomeKit support means you can control the temperature with your voice using Siri or with Apple’s new Home app on iOS 10 and watchOS 3. Lyric T5 features a highly improved design over Honeywell’s other HomeKit thermostat and a larger touchscreen display that makes it worthy of being called a smart home accessory....

It’s been over 5 years since the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother ended on one of the most sour notes to ever grace cable television, but let us not forget that said show gave audiences one of the greatest triangle bromances in sitcom history: Ted, Marshall, and Barney. The three Y-chromosomed members of the Maclaren’s Pub gang were three of the closest friends that television has ever produced with the group getting into more hijinks than they could count....

TechCrunch has a fascinating insight into the world of App Store scammers, using the example of a game created from a $10 template that ended up making $10,000 a day. The piece alleges that the developer of the paid version of Red Bouncing Balls Spikes used a network of around 20,000 fake Apple IDs to buy his own app in order to get it to the top of the charts, an up-front investment of $20k that would be repaid many times over … Not all games are created from scratch....
