After a well-documented and controversial back and forth, Netflix decided that it would not be attending Cannes this year. For that to happen, however, Cannes rules would have to be changed. In 2017 two Netflix original productions, Okja and The Meyerowitz Stories, premiered at Cannes to critical acclaim. Cannes Cannes can’tAlthough Netflix stands by its decision, in a recent interview CEO Reed Hastings admitted that the Cannes situation did go further than anyone expected. Until then, according

After a lot of waiting and wondering, Nintendo Switch fans have finally been offered some more solid details on the Nintendo Switch’s online service before it launches in September of this year. With cloud saves and a Netflix-like library of NES games, Switch owners definitely got some of the things they were looking for from their console. But many were left wondering if the long-called for Virtual Console would be a part of the online package. They won’t, however, fall under the banner of Virt

Sony Alpha A7R III vs A7 III: ResolutionThis is the most obvious difference between these two cameras. Sony Alpha A7R III vs A7 III: Image stabilisationThe A7R III and A7 III both use Sony’s 5-axis SteadyShot Inside in-body stabilisation, but where Sony claims a 5-step advantage with the A7 III it quotes 5.5 steps for the A7R III, due we believe to improved algorithms rather than any difference in the hardware.

There’s an interesting development in the graphics card world this morning, as the alleged specs of the successor to the current GTX 1080 have been posted. In an entry for the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1180 in the TechPowerUp GPU database, the full details of the unreleased card are given, albeit with obvious caveats – ‘data on this page may change in the future’ – alongside the consideration that this is an engineering sample. The GTX 1180 will apparently run with 3,584 CUDA cores, compared to the GTX

If you’re traveling with your camera, arriving at a new location for the first time can leave you at a bit of a loss as to what are the key spots to shoot. While it can be great to just explore a place with your camera, if you’re pushed for time, you want to maximise it. That’s where the Pixeo app comes in. This app (iOS only at the moment) relies on crowdsourced information to provide a map photogenic locations you’re near too. You can then drill down and get details about the location, includi

Thankfully, Microsoft is integrating its payment service into Outlook, letting you send money without opening a separate browser window (and potentially tapping your credit card details into a fraudster’s form. Initial partners include payment services Stripe and Braintree, billing service Zuora, and invoicing services FreshBooks, Intuit, Invoice2Go, Sage, Wave, and Xero. Any business that uses one of these providers to manage its payments will be able to send you bills to pay without leaving yo

The iPhone 8 Plus has just a 5.5-inch screen, yet according to a new report the rumored iPhone XI Plus could pack a 6.5-inch screen into a body of the same size. It’s a believable change, since the iPhone XI Plus will have far smaller bezels than the iPhone 8 Plus, though as this is just a rumor we’d still take it with a pinch of salt. A mock-up of what the iPhone XI Plus might look like compared to the iPhone 8 Plus can be seen below, though to our eyes the upcoming phone still looks larger. Yo

We know the official OnePlus 6 launch date is set for May 16 and you’ll be able to buy it from May 21, but you won’t need to wait until then to see the first official image of the phone. We’ve already seen the OnePlus 6 design multiple times, but the new photo above shows the phone in both black and white for the first time. The leaked image was posted on actor Amitabh Bachchan’s Twitter profile and features Pete Lau from OnePlus. Rumors suggest the company will also be releasing the phone in a

LG dived early into the Android Wear smartwatch market, and it’s looking as though it might be leading the charge with the rebranded Wear OS wearable wave, too. An FCC filing has pointed towards the launch of new wristwatch just over the horizon, making use of circular carousel app list as opposed to the standard Android Wear vertical scroll list. This would make it quite similar to the interface seen in Samsung Gear devices, and could point to the future direction that Wear OS could take, shoul

Regardless of what you want, however, sometimes the voice assistant you get is entirely determined by which device you’re using. That’s no longer the case for Android users, as a Reddit user has flagged up that it’s now possible to swap out the default Google Assistant with Amazon’s Alexa. The process of making Alexa your default voice assistant on Android varies from device to device, but the way to start is by downloading the Alexa app from the Google Play Store. For one thing, you can’t summo

Of course, the service goes well beyond file sharing, so even at that price it still represents great value for money. What you can do is limit the edits that the file recipients can make: as you’d expect, it’s perfect for sharing files from Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. Free of charge, Send Anywhere will let you easily share files up to 10GB in size, with the link active for 48 hours. If you want to share files from your phone then Android and iOS apps are available. Before you can start shar

While it’s generally a console beloved by those fortunate enough to own one, the Nintendo Switch has always had a glaring flaw in its lack of save data backup options. Basically, if your Switch dies, so does that Breath of the Wild save file you’ve sunken hundreds of hours into. Thankfully, that won’t be the case for long, as the house that Mario built has officially revealed that ‘Save Data Cloud Backup’ functionality is coming to the console as part of its long-awaited Nintendo Switch Online s

Perhaps feeling a little cocky about his celebrity status, immense strength and bulletproof skin, Harlem’s hero Luke Cage (Mike Colter) is blindsided by a new rival in the latest trailer for Netflix’s most community-minded superhero series. More importantly, his actions prove to the rest of the neighborhood, particularly Harlem’s self-appointed ‘queen’ Mariah Dillard (Alfre Woodard), that Luke Cage isn’t as invulnerable as he thinks he is. Rusty CageThe new trailer shows a villain that deals in

Apple has issued an ultimatum to developers of iOS apps – all existing apps should be updated to support the display notch on the iPhone X by July or they may not get updated at all. According to a statement published on its developer page , “Starting July 2018, all iOS app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 11 SDK and must support the Super Retina display of iPhone X.”This is great news for iPhone X users, who still find some content on apps obscured by the notch.

If driverless car tech will truly reduce the rate of accidents , car companies will want to push this tech forward. Businesses clearly seem to think it’s only a matter of time before driverless cars are on the road. The exception to this rule is Phoenix, Arizona, where Waymo has been testing self-driving cars without safety drivers on public roads. Volvo is testing driverless cars and buses in Stockholm, Sweden. In the Netherlands, Amber Mobility plans to launch a Zipcar-like service of electric

It’s the final countdown to the Arrested Development season 5 release date, and Netflix has a new trailer to get you ready for the latest round of Bluth family antics. The fifth season of Arrested Development lands on the streaming service on May 29, giving fans of the short-lived network television sitcom a fresh look into the lives of the dysfunctional Orange County family.
