Apple has previously partnered with designer brand Hermes for a set of premium Apple Watch bands, sold separately from $340 per strap. It now appears that a second high-profile fashion designer, Coach, is coming on board with its own range of Apple Watch bands. David Boglin De Bautista reports a sales associate in a Coach boutique told him about the upcoming collection, set to debut as early as June. The sales representative sent photos of the as-yet-unreleased bands (shown above), priced at $150 each....

Apple makes beautiful videos to unveil its new products on stage these days, but that wasn’t always the case. Due to the limitations of technology, products like the Original Macintosh never had a super 3D introduction — although the “1984” ad is quite emblematic. Now Thibaut Crepelle has created a video to show what the Macintosh introduction would look like in 2021. Crepelle, a motion designer, decided that he wanted to create cool animations for vintage products, and he believes that the 1984 Macintosh was the perfect product for this (via The Loop)....

1. 92% of Data Breaches in 2022 due to cyberattacks Year-over-year results indicate a fast start to data breaches in 2022 after a record-setting 2021, as more than 90% of data breaches are cyberattack-related, the Identity Theft Resource Center found.

Preparing for a Technology Supply-Chain Attack The lessons of 2021 are clear: Cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated, so small and midsize businesses must step up cybersecurity efforts....

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-HWdMl4nDA&w=640&h=390] Let’s be honest, the iOS task switcher that springs into action when you double-click the home button isn’t the most user-friendly implementation of task switching on mobile devices. Truth be told, many people who played with webOS devices came away impressed with the card metaphor efficiency, allowing you to quickly flip running tasks in and out of the screen. It feels right and quickly becomes second nature. You can now have that same card switching multitasking interface, on your jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch (iPad version is coming soon) by downloading the CardSwitcher tweak in the Cydia Store....

The popular photo and video editing app Darkroom has been updated today with support for Apple’s new ProRAW photo format. ProRAW was first announced at Apple’s October event and it made its way to iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max users this week thanks to the release of iOS 14.3. Darkroom originated on iPhone and iPad, and it came to the Mac last month alongside the release of the first M1 MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac mini....

DC Universe’s Titans series depicts a much darker world than the animated shows about the same characters, and now it’s confirmed that Dick Grayson’s Robin was a killer, even as Batman’s sidekick. The question of vigilante brutality has been a big issue in recent years, especially since Ben Affleck’s portrayal of the caped crusader in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Titans certainly makes bloody fights and questionable violence central to its plot....

A behind the scenes photo from the filming of the Arrowverse crossover event Crisis On Infinite Earths may have confirmed a popular fan theory that John “Spartan” Diggle will become a Green Lantern before the end of Arrow season 8. While the show itself has danced around the idea before, this photo may prove that the series’ showrunners are finally following through on the idea. Since 1970 and the release of Green Lantern/Green Arrow #76, there’s been a tradition of Green Lanterns and Green Arrows teaming up in the comics....

THQ Nordic has put the development of Dead Island 2 in the hands of Dambuster Studios, who most recently worked on Homefront: the Revolution. Back in 2014, Dead Island 2 was revealed via Sony’s E3 press conference. Since then the game has had an incredibly rocky development cycle, between moving back and forth between three development studios and delay after delay. Sumo Digital was the last studio to have their hands on the project, but things obviously didn’t work out....

Defeating PPTP VPNs and WPA2 Enterprise with MS-CHAPv2 This talk was mainly about pointing out the vulnerabilities in the MS-CHAP v2 protocol. The speaker talks about how the previous research has shown that the security of the protocol is based on the password of the user. PPTP and WPA 2 Enterprise (which is used by the Defcon wi-fi network) both depend on MS-CHAP v2 protocol. He then explains how many of the VPN providers support PPTP, giving a specific example about Ipredator which only supports PPTP....

Apple entered the 2010s just as the iPhone began to explode in popularity. The iPhone became the most successful consumer product, ever. Sales surged for another five years and still make up a majority of Apple’s revenues. However, we exit the decade with the iPhone making up a smaller portion of Apple’s business than ever before, as the company diversifies into strong lineups of wearables, tablets and services offerings. But nothing is a simple straight line....

If you joined Facebook in the mid-2000s or Instagram in the early 2010s, your goal was probably to see what your friends were up to. But let’s say you joined later, during the rise of the influencer. Your reasoning might have been to keep up with news or the latest trends, with a side of keeping tabs on people you went to high school with. If you picked up TikTok during the pandemic, you might have been looking for a lockdown diversion—a goal that TikTok recognizes as it brands itself as an “entertainment platform” rather than a social media platform....

Earlier this week Yahoo trimmed it’s workforce laying off roughly 600 employees. Following the layoffs are more changes, and it seems Yahoo doesn’t know what to do with itself so they’re taking a cut-n-run approach. The Delicious social bookmarking site will be closing in the next few months, followed by other Yahoo services. It has been 5 years since Yahoo acquired Delicious from the developer Joshua Schachter, when I first saw news of the acquisition I was excited because I thought Yahoo would take it to new heights....

The COVID-19 pandemic led Crown Resorts to close its casinos and restrict operations in Melbourne and Perth throughout the past year, resulting in a statutory net loss of $261.6 million. Crown’s revenue dropped to 31.3 per cent at $1.53 billion. COVID-19 restrictions and “regulatory scrutiny” as a result of royal commissions into Crown’s gaming licenses, according to interim chair Jane Halton. Ms Halton reported that 2021 was a challenging year for Crown, with serious regulatory scrutiny and unprecedented impacts on business operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic....

Alan Bersten from Dancing With the Stars says winner Hannah Brown is a female version of himself. Bersten and Brown have proven to be kindred spirits through season 28, lifting each other up and providing much-needed emotional support during the competition. From the moment their partnership was announced, it was apparent that these two had a lot in common. Their physical appearances alone are similar: both are smiley and approachable. Both have a goofy streak that has been demonstrated on their respective shows....

I recently took a look at the various weather apps for iPhone (read the roundup here). Dark Sky was one of my absolute favorite apps, and today it gets even better. Despite already having the gold standard (in my opinion) of weather data, it now brings one of the best-looking apps to the table as well. While I didn’t think the old app was bad, in hindsight, it was a little dated looking....
