Honey, I Shrunk the Kids could easily join the lineup....

Christian Bale famously claimed that he’d never be part of a Batman movie that had Robin in it. Given the gritty drama that was at the core of the Nolan trilogy of movies, that decision was probably fair enough, though The Dark Knight Rises did see Joseph Gordon-Levitt play an almost unrecognizable homage version of the character. This leaves Chris O’Donnell as the most recent actor to play the Boy Wonder on the big screen in 1995’s Batman Forever and 1997’s Batman and Robin....

Update: iOS 9.3 adds support for importing Evernote data into Notes by long-pressing on Evernote Export files. Apple dramatically improved its Notes app with iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan last fall thanks to enhanced photo support, new formatting tools, URL snippets, a share extension, and an iCloud Drive backend to keep it all in sync. So much so that people have actually been moving from Evernote to Apple Notes and not looking back, but there hasn’t been a simple way to make the leap until now....

We already knew critically acclaimed indie game Limbo would be arriving on iOS this week after an announcement from Danish developer Playdead late last month.

Early reviews for the iOS port seem to be positive and, apart from some tweaked controls for the touchscreen, includes the entire game experience from the console versions....

The Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) 5000 Series models, VSP E-Series, and Hitachi Content Platform offerings are now generally available with new cloud-based management tools, the company said. A little background: For years, Tokyo-based Hitachi was one of those corporations whose business customers were generally older-school users and not necessarily first-movers in new-gen IT. When the company spun out Hitachi Vantara in 2017, it was the result of the convergence of Hitachi Data Systems, Hitachi Insight Group and Pentaho around new-gen storage systems....

Following announcements from Porsche with the 911 GT3 and Honda with the Civic Type R earlier this week, today Honda announced its two latest vehicles that will get Apple’s CarPlay platform standard with the Clarity Plug-in Hybrid and Honda Clarity Electric debuting next month.

Leading up to its first season, Black Sails was heavily promoted as a Michael Bay vehicle; leading fans to believe the series they would get could be something action packed but campy. Starz had a massive presence at San Diego Comic Con in 2013, with the show having a pirate ship on the show floor. The pilot was screened at the convention and was well received by the fans. Well before the first episode officially aired, Starz announced the series would have a second season....

For an entire generation of millennials, How I Met Your Mother was the go-to sitcom to learn about life and love in your twenties. Built around the simple premise of a father telling his children about meeting their mother for the first time, the show was surprisingly subversive and unexpected, thanks to some solid writing. Another big strength of the show was the solid cast of main characters. The nicest of those characters was undoubtedly Marshall Eriksen, played by Jason Segel, the gentle giant from a small town who became a big city lawyer and married the girl of his dreams, Lily....

You’ve probably heard “The more megapixels a camera has, the better the pictures it will capture.” For the most part, this is a myth. Generally speaking, once you hit the 5 MP mark, there are far more important things to consider. For example, you have the lens, the aperture, sensors, zoom, focus, and tons of other things that when combined will determine the quality of a photo. But what about when it comes to Printing said photos?...

Yesterday, we wrote a post about hiding the menu bar, and in the corresponding video tutorial, we used window snapping to highlight one of the benefits of a hidden menu bar. Afterwards, I received several tweets and emails asking how to perform window snapping, since this is not a feature that appears natively in OS X. Window snapping allows you to position windows in specific areas of the screen, usually by dragging the window to the edge of the screen, causing the window to “snap” into place....

Muting the audio was the first thing that many users ended up doing as soon as they launched Netflix. The reason for the same was a long-standing issue with the way the site handled the previews. When a user browsed through the carousel looking for some content, Netflix will automatically start playing the preview of that content. Dubbed as the most irritating user experience, Netflix finally seems to have addressed it....

Get Windows 8 Desktop Back If you’re thinking “Help, I lost my Windows 8 desktop tile. How do I get it back?” then you’ve come to the right place. The desktop tile in Windows 8 doesn’t remove itself, but if you (or someone else with access to your computer) accidentally or otherwise removes it, it won’t be visible. Fortunately, it’s built-in and can’t be removed permanently. Let’s go get it back....

Apple played a surprisingly big role in helping track down one the world’s worst spammers, according to an affidavit unsealed today and picked up by The Verge. According to the document, Russian spam king Peter Levashov was tracked down in large part due to his iCloud usage… Levashov operated under the alias “Severa” and rented out access to spammers and cybercriminals through his Kelihos botnet. He’s regarded as “one of the ten worst spammers in the world” and ran fake antivirus software and various other spamming operations....

In April, when the Denver Broncos swapped out its traditional 500-page playbooks for iPads, we heard rumors that other teams were considering making the switch as well. Other professional sports teams have followed, one of which is the Indianapolis Colts. BizTechMagazine has an interesting piece profiling the team’s purchase of over 120 iPad 3s as playbook replacements for both players and coaches: “Pagano feels it’s a competitive advantage to give players all the information at their fingertips and for them to learn in a way they have grown accustomed to,” says Ryan Fannin, the Colts’ director of football information systems....
