The 2020 Oscars nominations announcement is just around the corner, so here are all the nominees (and potential winners) to expect. 2019 was an excellent year for cinema, one that sparked many conversations about the medium’s future and the place of the so-called Oscar movie in the blockbuster age. After a very mixed Oscar season last year with epic highs (Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, Roma) and serious lows (Bohemian Rhapsody, Green Book), it’s no wonder Oscar nerds and critics alike are simultaneously amped up and trepidatious for the coming awards....

Before we investigate the specific cases of Osquery concerning security, it is essential to understand the components that make up Osquery Osqueryi: It is an interactive shell and used for ad-hoc queries. It is located inside the main Osqueryi.exe. It does not need to run as admin to query the end user. In this article, we will focus on Osquery to see what all we can get from this tool....

Ecosystem is an overused and abused term, but it’s the most appropriate word to use when describing the war currently taking place in the mobile phone industry. Either you join Apple’s ecosystem and buy their phones, apps from the App Store, and movies/music from iTunes, or you join Google’s ecosystem and use Android, Gmail, Google Drive, the Google Play Store, and more recently, Google+. The recent decision to integrate Google+ into YouTube have angered quite a few web surfers, so much so that they’re demanding Google turn YouTube back into what it was earlier this year....

As with most sports, esports requires the requisite star power to succeed in the mainstream and the Overwatch professional league has taken a major hit recently to its star-starved roster; after just a month into his debut season, Overwatch League competitor Daniel “Dafran” Francesca has quit. Francesca’s first season started off with a bang, as his style of play led to some spectacular moments. The early season success was due to his unique ability to readjust on the fly....

iPhones could in future automatically sound louder or quieter notification alerts depending on the level of background noise. A patent application published today describes how both an iPhone and Apple Watch could periodically measure ambient sound levels, adjusting notification volumes to an appropriate level. The patent notes that while users can manually adjust the volume of alerts, many don’t do so because they forget or because it’s too much hassle. The patent suggests that the primary sound reading would be taken from the Apple Watch (aka ‘a wearable device’) …...

Fans of the Outlander series are bound to have more than just a few questions about the illusive Geillis Duncan, the self-proclaimed witch of the series. She is not just unpredictable and controversial, but rather terribly human in the way she opens up to other characters and displays both vulnerability and strength many times within a single episode. Here are 10 questions about the controversial character who has won as many hearts, as she has broken, in the fictional world of Outlander, together with their answers....

I’ve been using my iPhone to track my runs since 2010 when I first signed up for RunKeeper when I had an iPhone 3GS. I’ve only used a GPS watch for varying points in my running career, so for me, the iPhone has always been my primary run tracker. In recent years, many of the popular running apps have been moving towards a subscription model (which is understandable considering the apps need constant development), but I always believed there was room for a simple running that that was private by default and shared the data with Apple Health/Activity app....

Blizzard finally announced the existence of Overwatch 2 after weeks of speculation from fans and rumors circulating all over the internet regarding leaks of the game’s existence. Overwatch is one of Blizzard’s most popular properties and has blossomed into a consistent, well-promoted esports platform that has launched the careers of several athletes alongside the Overwatch League, which has garnered support from rich investors and cities to help host events. Rumors began circulating about a possible Overwatch 2 when a report surfaced suggesting Blizzard was hard at work on both Diablo 4 and the sequel to Overwatch....

OWC has confirmed today that the RAM it’s been offering for the Mac Pro starting from $500 is compatible with the rack-mounted Mac Pro that recently hit the market. Customers looking to save on upgrading can also take advantage of OWC’s memory trade-in program. A couple of weeks ago, Apple released the rack mount version of the Mac Pro after making the standard Mac Pro tower available back in December. The rack-mount version carries a $500 premium and has a few other differences, like how the case opens to accommodate the rails that allow it to be mounted horizontally....

Over the weekend, a report from The New York Times detailed Apple’s removal of certain parental control applications from the App Store. Shortly thereafter, Apple responded with a press release explaining that the removals weren’t “a matter of competition” but rather “a matter of security.” Now, one of the applications affected by the crackdown is refuting Apple’s claims. Apple argued that it was focused on removing parental control applications based on MDM – or mobile device management – systems....

Some security leaders have welcomed the important changes in the list, specifically the inclusion of application programming interfaces (APIs), which shows the acceptance of shifts in the threat landscape. Others have noted that the list seems similar to its previous manifestations in many ways. Before we go into the detail of what has changed in OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities of 2017, let us take a glance at the table below for a quick review....

The Oxford English Dictionary might be the bastion of the English language, but it just added the Star Wars word lightsaber and managed to spell it wrong. In the Star Wars universe, a lightsaber is an energy sword that has a luminescent plasma blade of varying colors. The lightsaber is a melee weapon most often used by the Jedi Order and the Sith. It made its first appearance in 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope....

PC manufacturers seem to be dropping like flies at present. Shortly after Sony confirmed it was selling its PC business and Vaio brand, LG is rumored to be planning its own exit from traditional PCs, to focus on smartphones, tablets and ‘convertible’ PCs (touchscreen Windows tablets that flip round into a laptop). Other manufacturers are witnessing falling sales, prices and profits – with The Guardian calculating that the average profit per PC in the third quarter of 2013 fell to just £14....

Starting its epic run in 2014, Outlander has been a really good plot that has only gotten better over the past four seasons, and with two more seasons to come, the story isn’t over yet. It can be kind of hard to pick out a favorite character, but so easy to find ones to hate. In today’s list, we will be going over some of the worst things that Claire has done in the seasons that we have seen her in....

For quite sometime now, the Paranoid Android team has been posting teaser images of Hover — something that would replace Halo in their KitKat builds. Today, they have finally released the first beta of their ROM with Hover baked in, giving ROM maniacs their first look at what it is and how it works. Hover is an enhanced version of the stock notification system in Android. Once it has been enabled, all new notifications show up at the top of the screen in a transparent window, which only stays for 3 seconds....
