Some MacBook Pro owners have complained of a ‘stage light’ effect, where they see uneven backlighting at the bottom of the display. For some, the symptom is only the first stage, with the backlight failing altogether. iFixit says that it has identified the cause – and the way in which Apple changed the design of the Touch Bar generation for the MacBook Pro turns what would otherwise be a $6 fix into a $600 nightmare …...
Larry Cashdollar, a member of the Security Incident Response Team at Akamai Technologies, explained that Zyxel may have been specifically targeted because they published a blog noting they were impacted by the Log4j vulnerability. “The first sample I examined contained functions to scan for other vulnerable devices,” Cashdollar wrote in an Akamai blog post. “The second sample… did contain the standard Mirai attack functions,” he added. “It appears the… attack vectors had been removed in favor of Log4j exploitation....
We are barely a week away from the theatrical release of Hugh Jackman’s final Wolverine film, Logan, and it looks like this is definitely the end for everyone’s favorite clawed mutant. Jackman has shot down rumors of a Deadpool team-up, emphasized his retirement of the claws in interviews, and described this last movie as the highlight of his career. He has also said, however, that he would have kept the character going if it was in the MCU....

The smoke monster in Lost was originally intended as a mechanical contraption built by the Dharma Initiative. Lost’s island offered an abundance of mysteries from the outset of the groundbreaking ABC series, but one of the earliest, and most paranormal, was the presence of a monster that could knock down foliage and leave Oceanic 815’s pilot mangled and bloodied halfway up a tree. Lost season 1 eventually reveals the form of this threat to be a cloud of black smoke and, as the series progresses, viewers see the smoke monster attack humans throughout the island’s history....
Lost’s ending might have been improved if plans for an active volcano hadn’t been abandoned. As Lost’s finale nears its 10-year anniversary, the episode remains one of the most divisive and widely-discussed TV finales of all time.

As evidenced by the actual ratings of bad episodes of Lost, it’s clear that a bad episode of the show is still a whole lot better than a lot of other TV shows out there. Nearly ten years after it was all over, fans are still debating and bemoaning what the entire show was actually about and what it all meant - “was everyone actually dead (um…kinda/sorta)?” “What was the Dharma Initiative?...
There’s two big reasons Mac users are waiting for the new update to ship: Number one, it is required in order to use a Magic Mouse; Number two: it reportedly patches the dreaded Guest account data-munching bug that has caused such distress. Apple conceded the existence of that bug earlier last week, after multiple reports complained of its existence. As reported by OS X Brazil, (and reported earlier by MacRumors) developer build, Mac OS X 10....
While the Lord of the Rings series didn’t focus that much on romance, there are quite a few couples that made their way onto the screen. In the world of Middle-Earth on film, there were some couples that were from the books and others that were made up, as well as some couples fans loved and others they didn’t like at all. Even though these stories were more about adventure and saving the world from evil, romance still found its way into the narrative, and some of these couples made the story better....
Luke Cage may have only gotten two seasons, but those two seasons brought us some amazing and dramatic episodes. Episodes that still stick in our minds to this day.

At the age of 32, Fonseca has a serious quality body of work in her past and a bright future in front of her....
Last month, Apple overhauled the web interface for Apple Podcasts with a modern design and support for web playback. Today, Apple has made another slight change to the webpage, dropping the ‘Listen in iTunes’ branding. As first noted by Vox Media’s Zach Kahn, the Apple Podcasts Preview webpage now displays a “Listen in Apple Podcasts” button, replacing the old “Listen in iTunes” branding. Clicking on the button still opens iTunes on the Mac, but that is likely to change sooner rather than later....

A wizard, a warrior elf, two brave humans, a likable dwarf, and four adventurous hobbits walk into Mordor… Jokes aside, since the original fantasy trilogy written by J. R. R. Tolkien was adapted into three epic movies, Lord of the Rings immediately became a cult icon. It’s nothing to be surprised about.

The school district that attempted to rollout iPads to its students last year—only to scrap the entire plan when the students proved too smart for the technical limits placed on the devices—will once again try to place technology in the lives of its students. This time, however, the iPad won’t be an option. Officials said that many of the students weren’t comfortable on the Apple tablet, citing the screen size difficulty the students had doing all of their typing on the touch screen as one of the factors....
The new M1 iMac features an all-new design with seven different colors from which to choose. One of the more subtle changes is that the headphone jack has been relocated from the back of the iMac to the side, and as it turns out, there’s a specific reason for that. One of the major design changes with the new iMac is just how thin it is on the side. Apple says the new iMac measures in at 11....
