What Glui does need to offer is a functional yet efficient workflow and, on this front, it delivers. In use, I never feel like the app is getting in my way. The activation shortcuts are bound to Shift+Cmd+5 and Shift+Cmd+6 by default to match OS X’s native screenshot shortcuts....

This week the Google Labs team spawned a brain child of Wave, and it’s called Shared Spaces. Google Wave, whether you love it or hate it, was the first innovative product to really challenge the entire system of email collaboration. Last August Google said they were ending support for Wave, but by no means are they killing it off. Even as we speak, Apache and open-source versions of Google Wave are in the works....

Who doesn’t want to be Frankie Bergstein in their twilight years? She has the coolest hippie wardrobe ever, lives in a sweet beach house, and is shameless about her love of tacos. In Netflix’s Grace and Frankie, most of the characters find themselves sinking into the pitfalls of adulting, but Frankie always keeps a sunny outlook on life—often with the help of a doobie. Frankie may be in her seventies, but she’s a kid at heart....

In a post where he admittedly overanalyzed the recently released schedule for WWDC 2012, Daring Fireball’s John Gruber speculated that the high amount of “To Be Announced” sessions could indicate the launch of a new developer platform. His bet? Apps for Apple TV: This tidbit follows reports from this morning that claimed Apple is set to introduce a new Apple TV OS and APIs, which could work with the unconfirmed Apple HDTV....

Batteries are a consumable component that have a limited life span or cycle count. Apple’s various products use different batteries that have varying cycle count limits. Let’s take a look at some useful things to keep in mind when trying to get the most out of your MacBook Pro battery or when looking at buying a used MacBook. Once a MacBook’s battery has reached a certain cycle count limit, it is considered consumed and Apple recommends replacing the battery, although you can continue using it (but expect decreased performance)....

Charles Dance’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters character just became infinitely more menacing, thanks to a newly released audio outtake. The film was a direct sequel to 2014’s Godzilla and the third installment of Legendary’s MonsterVerse franchise, following Kong: Skull Island. Despite its impressive cast and praise for the visual effects, cinematography, and action sequences, the clash of these particular Titans was largely deemed forgettable and failed to land a solid blow at the box office....

Google has finally brought their helpful ‘Instant Previews’ feature from the desktop browser, down to the mobile experience. ‘Instant Previews’ let you tap the accompanying magnifying glass for a pop-up preview of the website.

The accuracy of the programs increases with size, researchers contend. That obsession with size was on full display Wednesday in the latest industry benchmark results reported by MLCommons, which sets the standard for measuring how quickly computer chips can crunch deep learning code....

Growing up is a tough business, and one of the toughest things about it is feeling alone. Puberty means going through tons of physical and emotional changes - and that can be surprisingly scary. Kids can begin to feel like they’re starting to figure themselves out, despite having a long way to go. It’s a time of life that means realizing certain things about the world that will be eye-opening… and maybe even heartbreaking....

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix’s stop-motion Pinocchio movie adaptation has added actors like Ewan McGregor and Tilda Swinton to its voice cast.
