This doesn’t feel like a premium handset to hold – there’s no cool metallic touch when you pick up the phone, for example. Still, my Power Black review unit had a nice reflective finish to the plastic backplate. There’s a Cool Blue version and what looks like a rather arresting Poco Yellow model, too. Whatever colour you go for, the rear camera array sits in a raised lozenge that is itself surrounded by a huge black Poco-branded strip....

We’re pretty much all familiar with the notch at the top of the iPhone screen, which houses the front camera, Face ID sensors, the top speaker, and a microphone. However, not everyone likes this design, and it seems that Apple is already considering some alternatives to it. Now we want to know whether you would prefer an iPhone with a hole-punch camera, the current notch, or another option. Since the iPhone X was introduced, Apple has made some profound changes to how people interact with the device — which now has things like gesture-based navigation and Face ID....

XML is the acronym for Extensible Markup Language. It is used to encode messages in both human and machine readable formats. It’s like HTML but allows you to create your custom tags. For more details on XML, see the article on XML Why use AJAX? It allows developing rich interactive web applications just like desktop applications. Validation can be performed done as the user fills in a form without submitting it....

Over the last several weeks, we’ve been detailing Pokémon GO’s long-awaited support for player vs player battles. Prior to today, we knew a lot about how the battles feature would work, but details were sparse on exact release information. Now, that support for Pokémon GO battles has started rolling out. Niantic announced in a tweet this evening that Pokémon GO Trainer Battles are now rolling out to Trainers who are at least at level 20....

Over the past few weeks, a variety of reports have suggested that the iPhone 12 mini is not selling as well as the rest of the iPhone 12 lineup. One the flip side, the iPhone 12 Pro is said to be selling better than Apple had expected. Naturally, this makes us wonder if the “mini” form factor will stick around for this year’s iPhone 12S or iPhone 13. But the important thing to keep in mind here is that Apple doesn’t provide unit sales for any of its hardware products....

As part of its WWDC announcements last week, Apple tightened guidelines around privacy in kids’ apps in the App Store. Speaking at the Recode Code Conference yesterday, PBS president and CEO Paula Kerger said that these new guidelines from Apple mean that it will have to remove several of its apps from the App Store. Apple revised its developer guidelines last week to note that apps in the kids category can’t include any third-party advertising or analytics software....

There is often a need to conduct full-fledged black box penetration testing. This is a form of testing in which security professionals have to deal with such things as firewalls other mechanisms of restriction on the customer’s side. This is an interference while pentesters execute checks and periodically block them by, for example, IP address or user-agent. If we didn’t agree on a gray- or white-box model and our IPs were not whitelisted, what can we do to bypass those limitations which are regulated by the customer and their firewall?...

Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) returns to the big screen this May in the fifth installment of the hugely successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. This latest adventure on the high seas sees the another favorite character from the franchise return: Will Turner (Orlando Bloom). The blacksmith, turned pirate, turned supernatural being didn’t appear in the fourth installment, but it looks like his return is going to be a key part of Dead Men Tell No Tales....

Planoly was founded in 2016 by Brandy Pham, who is also its Chief Creative Officer. She came up with the idea of Planoly after giving birth to her son Teddy, so she could be more organized with her Instagram social media strategy, fitting in her social post creation around caring for her son. Brandy operates a jewelry business, and she needed a way to plan and schedule Instagram posts to promote her business visually....

After months of rumors and speculation, Apple will officially hold its March event this coming Monday, the 21st. We’ve shared our comprehensive run down of everything that will be announced at the event, and we already know that Zac will be “upgrading” to the iPhone SE. We’re curious, though, what are you most excited to see at Apple’s “Let us loop you in” press event next week? As Mark detailed in his massive roundup of everything set to come at the event, Apple has a lot up its sleeve....

iPadOS 13 includes very basic support for pointing devices as an Accessibility feature. There are settings that allow you to customize the experience for multi-button mice like the Logitech MX Master, but the overall support throughout iPadOS is relatively rudimentary. These enhancements in iPadOS 14 will greatly improve the functionality. Personally, I’ve already incorporated pointer input into my iPad Pro workflow paired with the Smart Keyboard Folio and iPadOS 13. There’s clearly quite a bit of room for improvement, though, and it’s exciting to see Apple developing such features for iPadOS 14....

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen isn’t sparing anyone to promote his autobiography, Idea Man. After describing his uneasy business relationship with Bill Gates that at times was on the verge of break up due to high tension, he then praised Apple’s “unbelievable” success and noted Steve Jobs’ hat trick (the iPod, iPhone and iPad). It didn’t take him long to change his mind, however, and lash out at both Apple and Google....

However, with the increased adoption of multi-factor authentication, login credentials alone may not be enough for scammers to gain the access or information they’re after. Plus, if you don’t recognize the signs of a spoofed login page, there’s a good chance you won’t see the red flags when the page requests even more information. For these reasons, credential phishing is evolving into something even more dangerous. Is your organization susceptible to phishing attacks?...

Phantasm is one of the weirdest horror franchises of all time, and sports one of the genre’s best villains in the supernaturally powerful Tall Man. In 1979, writer/director Don Coscarelli introduced Phantasm to the world, a surreal, nightmare-like terror tale that didn’t necessarily make much logical sense, but never failed to captivate the viewer. A big part of this was the mysterious Tall Man (Angus Scrimm), a towering bad guy wearing a black suit that gave him of an air of being all business....

This fall, Apple is expected to unwrap two next-generation iPhones with larger displays: a 4.7-inch model and a 5.5-inch higher-end “phablet” variant. While the 4.7-inch model has had physical mockups floating around the web for the past few months, parts or shells for a 5.5-inch model have not been seen until now. Sonny Dickson has sent us photos of a 5.5-inch iPhone 6 physical “dummy” mockup in the Space Gray color (above and below), and he has posted photos of a white and gold model on Twitter:...
