Apple Watch is thriving as an approachable health tracking solution, especially for heart-related issues thanks to heart rate alerts and the upcoming ECG feature. Now the Apple Watch has a new app for helping patients track their journey before and after undergoing knee or hip replacement, and there’s a major clinical study behind it. MyMobility from musculoskeletal healthcare firm Zimmer Biomet “uses Apple Watch to facilitate a new level of connection between patients and their surgical care teams, which can immediately impact the journey patients experience when they undergo these procedures,” the company announced today....

Just as Apple introduced iOS 7 equipped with Instagram-like filters built-in to the redesigned camera app (although not for video), word has it Instagram is looking to move into Vine’s territory by adding video features in an upcoming update. According to a report from TechCrunch, Facebook’s event later this week won’t focus so much on that rumored news reader, but more so on integration of a Vine-like short video feature for Instagram:...

Google Reader Alternatives We’ve shown you how to export and back up your current Reader OPML which contains a list of your current feeds. You can then use it to import into programs like Microsoft Outlook and use it as your RSS reader. The service I’ve already switched to is Feedly. In fact, a few days after Google made its announcement to kill Reader, over 500,00 users made the switch as well....

AT&T recently ran a promo that offered double data on a select number of its Mobile Share Value plans. As a follow up, the carrier will soon start extending an extra 5GB of data to customers with 10GB plans at no additional charge. The offer starts tomorrow and runs for a “limited time.” AT&T hasn’t clarified how long this promo will be available, so you’ll want to move quickly to take advantage of this deal....

Avengers: Endgame went home without an award after the 2020 Oscars, and in the process made history with a record no movie actually wants to hold. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Endgame served as the culmination to many of the story and character arcs established across the first decade-plus of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the journeys of Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.)....

Cyberpunk 2077 is a proper action-adventure RPG. Although it had a rough start, it still, overall, amazingly manages to regain its stardom. It revolutionizes the mechanics of side quests, character development and, without any doubt, lays emphasis on one’s decisions. But did you know that you can also use Cyberpunk 2077 Mods to play within the game to get extra benefits? Yes, and that’s today’s topic too. So, sounds interesting? Then, without creating so much buzz, let’s get started with it....

In a move that could change television as we know it, Netflix is reportedly launching a Choose Your Own Adventure TV series made for children later this year. For those unfamiliar, ‘80s and ‘90s kids alike were raised on a series of books that gave the reader the storytelling agency. The Choose Your Own Adventure books (CYOA from here on out) featured the second person perspective — meaning the reader chooses where the story goes and what happens next for the characters....

The jury for the second Apple vs Samsung patent case has now been selected after a number of potential jurors were dismissed for possible bias. Apple is seeking damages of up to $40 per device sold for those Samsung phones and tablets it says violate up to five Apple patents, while Samsung is counter-claiming that Apple devices violate two of its own patents. Unlike the previous trial, in which the similarity of Samsung’s hardware to iPhones and iPads was a key issue, the patents in dispute here are all software ones, and include standard Android features, leading some to suggest that Google is the real target in this case....

Following its usual teardown of the Apple Watch, iFixit today released its first repair guides for Apple’s new device covering screen, NFC antenna, and battery replacements, as well as the process of safely replacing adhesives during repair. When it comes to the NFC antenna, iFixit warns that it’s easy to damage the component when opening the Apple Watch for any repair, meaning replacement or repair might be necessary: “Unfortunately, opening up your Apple Watch may damage the NFC antenna, which also serves as a gasketing seal....

Alongside the announcements of Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE, Apple has started accepting trade-ins for Apple Watch Series 5. The previous-gen hardware is worth up to $240 for a direct trade-in when upgrading to a new Apple Watch. Up until today, Apple was only accepting trade-ins for Apple Watch Series 4 and earlier with the values topping out at $155. Now that pre-orders are already live for both the Apple Watch Series 6 and SE, Apple has updated its trade-in program to give a maximum of $240 credit for Series 5 watches....

One of the early surprises on Arrow occurred in the third episode, ‘Lone Gunmen’. That was the first time audiences heard Oliver Queen, a notorious playboy with a history of getting kicked out of school and who had apparently survived for five years on an uninhabited island, speaking Russian. Not only that, but he was a Captain in the Bratva, a Russian criminal organization. Over time, more hints have been dropped about Ollie’s history with Russia and the Bratva....

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Arrow, season 8, episode 9, “Green Arrow and the Canaries.” Could Laurel Lance be the secret villain of Green Arrow and the Canaries? There is evidence in the backdoor pilot and penultimate episode of Arrow suggesting that the former Black Siren’s redemption may not be as certain as was expected following Crisis on Infinite Earths. “Green Arrow and the Canaries” established a radically different future for Star City than the one which was the setting of the flash-forwards in Arrow season 7....

. Three in Sweden is having a “half price sale” on the iPhone 3GS “while supplies last”. The free iPhone 3GS with the 99 Kroners a month ($15.42) plan works out to about US$370 for the entire contract and that is before minutes and the unlimited Internet (throttled after 1GB) are considered. That is incredibly cheap. In the US, the price of an iPhone 3GS off contract is still over $400 and we’re used to some of the lowest prices on Apple products globally....

Being that the majority of Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place throughout the Earth Kingdom, fans got the chance to see several skilled Earthbenders in action, each demonstrating techniques that made them quake in astonishment. Yet despite such great power at their fingertips, Earthbenders have the most limits on when they can use their bending, since they can only do so in areas where there is an abundance of rock....

Demi Burnett recently opened up about being hurt by the criticism she’s faced since coming out as sexually fluid on Bachelor in Paradise. Since it is the first time the franchise has shown a same-sex couple, it was a near inevitability that the audience wouldn’t unanimously support Burnett as she explored her relationship with Kristian Haggerty. That’s something Burnett knows she must deal with as her groundbreaking romance continues to play out in front of millions of viewers....

Bang & Olufsen looks to be one of the early companies to begin offering fully wireless earphones with a wireless charging case. While we’re still waiting on Apple to offer a wireless charging case for AirPods (and AirPower), B&O is updating its Beoplay E8 premium earphones with a new wireless charging case and more. After Apple missed its 2018 deadline for launching AirPower, it has continued its silence on the product....

Apple’s A5 chip has debuted with iPad 2, but the company’s already hard at work designing the A6, contemplating the A7 and thinking about the A8. Apple added more chip experts to their in-house silicon team and poached veteran engineers from Samsung and ARM earlier this month. A LinkedIn profile belonging to chip expert Eunseok Ji reveals he recently came on board as a senior Apple engineer, the role he played for years at rival Samsung....

Here are our top animated movies of the past decade. Purely in terms of technological advancement, the 2010s have been huge for animated filmmaking, and the leap in what is visually possible using both traditional and computer-generated techniques from 2010 to 2019 has been huge. Perhaps more significantly, however, animated movies have continued to push the boundaries of what the genre can achieve from a storytelling perspective. In decades past, the best animated films have been those designed to appeal to kids, but that keep adults entertained too....
