This year, Love Island earned its broadcasting channel ITV £12m in advertising fees before the first episode even aired. Superdrug sponsored the show in 2017 and reported 200,000 more website visits after each episode and a 900% increase in Superdrug brand search terms. In 2018, Missguided boasted a 40% sales increase every night the show was on. And even beyond the official sponsors, many brands are jumping on the proverbial bandwagon to tap into the hype....

I thought it was just me, but apparently I’m not the only one who tends to take a long extended whiff every time I crack open a new Apple product. There’s just something about the smell that’s so ridiculously pleasing to the senses. Apparently the fine folks over at Apple accessory maker TwelveSouth feel the same, as it’s introduced a new candle that smells just like a freshly-opened Mac. Seriously, and there’s more…...

Apple has informed App Store developers that two major iOS app store features will not make their way ‘back to the mac.’ These are Game Center and in app purchases. In app purchases allow App Store developers to go with a “freemium” app model meaning they can sell the app for free and let the users buy more features over time. This is a feature many developers and users enjoy and take advantage of alike....

The discussion involved the newly published “Think Different About Kids” letter backed by activist investors who want to see Apple address iPhones and iPads becoming addictive for children. Following our conversation, Apple released a statement saying it plans to introduce additional parental controls for iOS in the future while acknowledging that existing tools are already in place. Apple tends to not worry about activist investor requests, but my take on this issue is that it falls within Apple’s usual scope of concern so the letter would likely prompt a response....

Apple just announced its earnings for Q1 2017, reporting profits of $17.89 billion on revenues of $78.4 billion. The company sold 78.3 million iPhones, 13 million iPads, and 5.3 million Macs.

This earnings call is an especially important one for Apple as it marks the company’s return to growth after consecutive quarters of decline....

On Friday 9 December, the information security world was rocked by the disclosure of Log4j (CVE-2021-44228), a zero-day vulnerability in the widely used Java logging library Apache Log4j, which allows attackers to remotely execute code and gain access to machines. Not only is the vulnerability relatively simple to take advantage of, the ubiquitous nature of Log4j means that it’s embedded in a vast array of applications, services and enterprise software tools that are written in Java – and used by organisations and individuals around the world....

I’ve been using Apple’s extended wired keyboard for something like a decade – since it came out in 2007 – mostly because it feels the same as my MacBook Pro’s keys and it’s more reliable than Bluetooth – it just works for me. Logitech makes some pretty good keyboards in their own right. I love their solar offerings for instance. But because the ol’ Apple extended is there and it feels like my MacBook’s keyboard, I usually end up going back to what I’m used to after trialling other keyboards....

Two trends in iPhones might seem to place the interests of Apple and its customers on opposite sides of the fence. Making iPhones more expensive seems good for Apple, bad for customers. Conversely, making iPhones last longer would seem good for customers, bad for Apple. But all is not necessarily as it seems, argues one of the smarter Apple analysts … Horace Dediu said he was surprised there wasn’t more market reaction to something Apple VP Lisa Jackson said during the iPhone presentation....

The Second Age and the Third Age are 3000 years apart. The significant time gap means that the show will focus on a completely different cast of characters. While people of Middle-earth are unusually long-lived, such as Gandalf who lived for 2000 years, it’s not likely the series will feature many - if any - familiar faces. Setting the show in a completely different era will allow the series to showcase a much different side of Middle-earth than what fans have seen before....

An M1 MacBook Pro photo editing test found that the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro running M1-optimized apps was faster than a ‘”beast” of a Windows desktop PC – despite the fact that the latter was specifically specced with photo editing in mind and had a massive 128 GB of RAM. Professional photographer Andrew Hoyle said that he was “astonished” by the performance, and concludes that an M1 Mac is a safe bet for photographers looking to upgrade…...
