The trailer forSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verserevealed plenty of exciting details about the sequel to the 2018 Academy Award-winningSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. One of the most interesting was one that fans had speculated about since the first teaser dropped, and that was thatSpider-Man 2099 would be the antagonistof the film.

Amazfit GTS review: Fitness focus

Huami’s Amazfit brand has been making wearables for a few years now, packing its smartwatches and sports watches with some pretty big features - all at really affordable prices. That doesn’t change with the Amazfit GTS: it’s a fitness-focused smartwatch that, while not quite as cheap as the budgetastic Bip, is still relatively affordable. Unlike other watches in the Amazfit collection, the GTS has a big focus on design, taking some clear design inspiration from a pretty well known smartwatch....

Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu writes in today’s note to clients that Apple is working on a“notable upgrade”to its stock Camera and Photos apps which come included with the iOS mobile operating system powering iPhones, iPads and iPods. This isn’t terribly surprising given that“notable upgrades”are presumably needed to enable new photo and video sharing functionalities recently mentioned by more credible sources. I guess Wu’s a regular reader of the Wall Street Journal newspaper, whichreported last monththat iOS 6 will bring the ability to synchronize video clips across devices through iCloud, as well as share sets of photos with other iCloud users and comment on them…...

Apple should make a new iPhone mini, and here's how I want it to look

Something I find interesting – encouraging, even – is that while there haven’t been any new mini iPhones since theiPhone 13 mini, some people are still clinging onto them for dear life. These die-hards insist that life is better with a phone under six inches, since you can actually use it with one hand. Never mind that Minis are no longer state-of-the-art, and launched with weak battery life that’s only degraded over time – the fans are making it work in the name of their preferred form factor....

Diablo 4 review – The numbers of the Beast

When I close my eyes, all I see are the numbers. The clashing of steel and the rending of flesh fade away, but the numbers remain. Ones and threes and zeroes, they fall from the bodies of my once-fierce foes, pooling among the viscera into a twisted numeric version of alphabet soup. The entire battlefield, every inch of the dungeon floor, bears the imprint of these numbers. As I trek back towards the exit door, I look down and read in that never-ending integer a history of my recent violence, a record of my cruel victory rendered in cold, unfeeling digits....
