The Apple Watch Series 4 and beyond have a feature called Fall Detection. This uses the gyroscope and accelerometer to detect if you’ve fallen, and more importantly, if you’ve fallen and cannot get back up. By default, Fall Detection is disabled for users under the age of 65. Follow along to learn how to enable this feature. Apple Watch: How to enable Fall Detection On iPhone, open the Watch app. Scroll down and tap on Emergency SOS....
You have to smile at the idea of a conference devoted to discussing the ‘the business of Apple Watch‘ when there’s only one company which knows the real numbers, and that company isn’t telling. But that doesn’t, of course, stop people guessing. Fortune‘s Philip Elmer-DeWitt helpfully rounded up some of the numbers presented at the Glance conference. Asymco’s Horace Dediu has projected that Apple will hit 21M sales in the first 12 months....
Apple’s Planet of the Apps wasn’t exactly a hit with either audiences or critics, but another attempt at original content has been far more successful. Apple has won an Emmy for Carpool Karaoke, which has been named Outstanding Short Form Variety Series … It was nominated for the Emmy in July, and Deadline reports that the show got the good news yesterday. It’s not the first time Apple has won an Emmy – it has been awarded the prize several times in the technical/engineering category, but it’s the first occasion on which the Cupertino company has received one for original content....
Ocean Master has often received the short end of the stick when it comes to fulfilling his villainous plans. He’s made repeated attempts to take the throne of Atlantis, only to be disregarded by his brother Aquaman and Mera, Queen of Atlantis. His efforts lead him to become a prisoner within the walls of the city he dreams of the ruling. Ocean Master’s latest conquests prove to be more successful as he’s slowly re-emerging as one of DC’s most dangerous villains....
Arrested Development is one of the greatest comedies ever made. Part of the reason for this is its all-star cast that brings a series of hilarious characters to life. These characters, which comprise the Bluth family, are hysterical misanthropes who seem to exclusively operate within the realm of their own self-interest. As such, it might be a bit difficult to pinpoint these characters on the chart of D&D Moral Alignment. Could they all be Chaotic Evil?...
The announcement of AssistiveTouch on Apple Watch caused a great deal of excitement among those with motor disabilities, with many others impressed by the sheer technological achievement of it. An analyst believes that we’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of the uses for this particular feature… Writing on AboveAvalon, analyst Neil Cybart believes that Apple is likely to use the tech as a means of controlling Apple Glasses....
Some iPhones, iPads, and Macs are vulnerable to short-range attacks via Bluetooth which could fool them into thinking they are connected to a trusted device. That would then enable an attacker to both send and request data via Bluetooth. The same security vulnerability is found in a wide range of chips from Intel, Qualcomm, and Samsung, meaning that a large number of non-Apple devices are also affected … The vulnerability relies on impersonating a previously-paired device and is thus dubbed Bluetooth Impersonation AttackS (BIAS)....
The Now Frontier: Developing Australia’s Space Industry report [PDF] recommended ways for how Australia could drive growth and investment, encourage commercialisation of research and development, better facilitate collaboration, and grow the country’s future space workforce. “The pace at which space-based technologies and innovation are developing is set to revolutionise the way we live.

An Avengers fan has responded to one of the best Avengers: Endgame theories by tweeting hilarious fan art of Josh Brolin’s villain Thanos. With the release of Avengers: Endgame mere weeks away, excitement is building everyday and Marvel fans are looking forward to finally learning the fate of half the universe after the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War last year.

If you care about audio quality even while you run or work out, Bang & Olufsen‘s latest wireless in-ear headphones may tick the box. The Beoplay H5 have a number of features aimed directly at fitness fans. First, the cable is moulded directly into the rubber, which B&O says keeps the sweat out, to avoid corrosion in the electronics, while the earpiece housings are also moisture-resistant. Second, the shape has been ‘meticulously tested and improved’ to provide a snug fit no matter what shape your ear canal, so they shouldn’t fall out....
Tim Burton had his work cut out for him when Warner Bros. hired him to bring Batman to the big screen. To most viewers, the Caped Crusader was most famous for the ‘60s Adam West TV series, with the campy tone and the “POW!” sound effects. Burton’s initial 1989 outing was such a tremendous success that superhero movies were solidified as a bankable genre. The studio was quick to get Burton back in the director’s chair for a sequel, and he knocked it out of the park again....

When Disney+ announced they would be releasing an original series called High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, some head-scratching went on. The High School Musical trilogy was popular over a decade ago and nobody was really clamoring for more from that world. Throw in the awkwardly long title and you could see why some weren’t sure what to think. The show arrived with the launch of Disney+ and exceeded expectations....

Apple has been accused of doing some kind of backroom deal to prevent a vote on an Arizona App Store bill that was scheduled to happen yesterday.

It is unlikely to be a webpage error because the 1.4mbps speed is also quoted in the official press release. While this may still be twice as fast as the previous iPhone, if true, it won’t impress anyone who has used full 3G enabled devices. Motorola Q? 3.6 Mbps!!! Update: For more information, check out Gizmodo’s writeup. According to them AT&T caps all 3G smartphones. If that is true, why do they list the Q at 3....
