Back in March, Google Podcasts launched on iOS alongside an Android revamp and tweaks to the web experience. The first update to Google Podcasts for iOS today adds CarPlay support. CarPlay support is the highlight of version 2.0, with Google touting how “you can more easily and safely listen while you drive.” Like other audio apps on the automotive platform, the UI is quite straightforward in offering access to your subscriptions and large now playing controls....

Update: We’ve been told there has been a delay. [slideshow] We reported on the construction progress of the future Apple grand Central store earlier this month and have since received further information and pictures from our trip to the location and from the tech blog, Techfootnote. Both sources grabbed shots of the upcoming Grand Central Apple Store as it was actively being worked on Friday, November 18th.

Amid reports of slowing sales and production shifts, Apple’s VP of product marketing Greg Joswiak sat down with CNET today to discuss consumer response to the iPhone XR. Joswiak says the iPhone XR has been the top-selling iPhone every day since its release… The iPhone XR was originally released on October 26th, with pre-orders starting a week before. Joswiak notes that since that release, the iPhone XR has been Apple’s top-selling iPhone every day:...

Every drama on television needs to have an element of crazy to it, or at least an element of being slightly unbelievable. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be called dramas. However, Grey’s Anatomy manages to seize the concept of ‘crazy’ and take it to a whole new level. The show has never shied away from major stunts and disasters (anyone recalls the plane crash in Season 8?) but its second season seems to incorporate more than its fair share of insanity....

Director Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham’s untitled new movie is already done shooting. The filmmaker and actor go back a long ways. Statham made his screen debut in Ritchie’s very first feature-length effort, 1998’s Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, and would go on to work with him again on his second, Snatch, two years later. The pair earned largely positive reviews for their snappy gangster-crime flicks, allowing Ritchie to stand out alongside the many other Tarantino imitators that emerged in the late ’90s (post-Pulp Fiction), and sending Statham on his way to becoming the bonafide action star he is today....

Apple made a big, polarizing splash when it announced its new wireless AirPods during last week’s iPhone 7 keynote. The AirPods, which are completely devoid of any wires, were met with plenty of mixed reactions online. Whether or not you agree with the design of the AirPods is one thing, but the new W1 wireless chip, Apple’s first, is promising to bring a better overall wireless audio experience to the masses....

In the universe of the Harry Potter book and film series, there are few characters that are more cowardly and more reviled than Peter Pettigrew. As one of the original four Marauders, Peter was the group’s tag along who miraculously managed to become best friends with the cool kids in class, and although he was sorted into Gryffindor it appears that his experience in the house of the lion did not imbue him with a lion’s courage....

Yes, David Tennant is probably best known for his portrayal of the Tenth Doctor on Doctor Who, but that is far from his only important, memorable, or well-reviewed role. In fact, Tennant has been active on stage and screen since the 1990s. According to IMDb, Tennant has 127 screen credits to his name. Furthermore, Tennant isn’t even fifty yet, so his filmography is destined to continue to expand. If you’re a Doctor Who fan, or just a David Tennant fan, here are the other performances that should be checked out as soon as possible....

George Lucas holds The Mandalorian’s breakout star Baby Yoda in what is quite possibly the perfect Star Wars photo. There’s no doubt that Lucasfilm and Disney found great success through the release of the first live-action series in a galaxy far, far away. Not only did fans gravitate towards the old school style and tone of The Mandalorian, but series creator Jon Favreau hit the jackpot with the introduction of The Child....

In a corporate environment, every computer connected to the network poses a security threat. As more and more computers get added into the network each day, the security risk associated with them only increases further. There is an imminent need to make sure that these computers are patched so they don’t have any security holes which can be exploited by an attacker. The burden of maintaining several tasks related to every system is huge, and verifying that every system is secure is very troublesome....

Original Ghostbusters actor Ernie Hudson reveals in an online video message that he’s currently filming scenes for Jason Reitman’s upcoming sequel. Hudson’s character of Winston Zeddemore has always stood apart a bit from the other Ghostbusters, to the point where it sometimes seems he doesn’t get enough respect. As the only non-scientist among the group, Winston may not have been as up on the methods and tools for catching spirits, but he brought the valuable perspective of a normal person to the supernatural proceedings, offering audiences a character they could identify with along the way....

Baphomet is one of several new Titans confirmed to dwell somewhere in the MonsterVerse in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but never seen. It was stated early in the movie that Monarch was aware of the existence of 17 Titans, but there are quite a few that never appeared in the flesh. Five of the Titans – Godzilla, King Kong, King Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra – are established characters who predate Legendary’s MonsterVerse by decades, but the rest are original to the MonsterVerse....

No more high school drama or juvenile delinquency as they head into real life, where Stef and Lena cannot quickly bail them out of bad situations, and it is up to Callie and Mariana to make their lives what they desire....

For Google, the 1-800-GOOG-411 service was the first leap into developing and improving voice recognition technology. Through use of the voice data collected Google was able to develop many of the voice services you find presently on Android. Personally, I never tried GOOG-411, but I might give it a go before they permanently switch off the service on November 12, 2010. The Google 411 voice-recognition driven service might be shutting down, but Google is keeping their text message directory service alive and kicking....
