Controversial FCC chairman Ajit Pai has announced that he will resign as of January 20, 2021. This announcement is not necessarily surprising, as this is the same day that President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated and it is tradition for the FCC chairman to step down in conjunction with the inauguration of a new president. Pai was nominated to the FCC in 2012 by President Obama at the recommendation of Mitch McConnell....

Our preview of Lucifer #6 shows how brutal that vengeance will get within seconds, but the damned souls complaining about their deals with The Devil may not get the victory they’re after....

The first HomeKit-compatible devices are likely now in production as two chipmakers confirmed to Forbes that they have begun shipping Apple-certified Bluetooth and Wifi chips to device manufacturers. Apple first announced HomeKit at its developer conference back in June. The idea behind it is to integrate control of a whole range of smart home devices into iOS, rather than requiring a bunch of different manufacturer apps to be used … One part of the certification process for device makers is that they have to buy their Bluetooth and Wifi chips from Apple-approved chipmakers–Texas Instruments, Marvell and Broadcom....

The new Facebook calling feature, available at the moment only for US-based iPhone owners, relies on the classic VoIP concept of delivering the message.

Facebook will tell you if a page is satire, as well as if it isn’t, in a new initiative. When a satirical page uses the name of a politician, for example, it will be labeled “Satire Page” to ensure that people don’t mistake it for the real person. Conversely, posts by politicians will be labeled as “Public Official” … Facebook made the announcement on Twitter. Tapping on the label will then provide more context....

Meg has always been the butt of the jokes on Family Guy. The family treats her like an outsider and rarely cares about what she gets into or how their treatment of her affects her in the moment or over time. Seth McFarlane has created a dynamic in the family that makes fans insensitive to all the horrible stuff that has happened to Meg. Every season, fans are shocked to see that they have come up with even more horrible things to do to Meg....

Workers in one factory claim to have been poisened by the chemicals used in shining the silvery parts of Apple products – like the Apple logo on iPhones. Others blame the chemicals that go into preparing Apple’s displays. Apple would not confirm these reports and has only said it has tightened its requirements regarding workplace safety at its suppliers....

When it first premiered back in the late ‘90s, many critics dismissed Family Guy as a cheap knockoff of The Simpsons. But one of the main things that set Family Guy apart from The Simpsons – the fact that the pet dog could talk – was also one of its focal points, at least in the early seasons. Peter and Brian used to be the show’s main characters. In the years since, Brian and Stewie have gone on adventures across the spacetime continuum and across the Earth’s surface, so they’ve sort of taken over....

Fear the Walking Dead’s latest episode was a tribute to George A. Romero’s iconic Dawn of the Dead movie - on a macro level - but despite the good intentions of the writers and producers, the story felt like a shadow of what made Romero’s film special, and it was a total waste in the end. Continuing their quest to help anyone and everyone, Morgan, Grace, and Dwight make a pit stop at a local mall to stock up on supplies and kill the person who radioed them, because he was bitten....

As Apple seeks to boost its recurring income from services, it recently purchased Texture – one of a number of services described as ‘Netflix for magazines.’ Ten dollars a month gives subscribers access to more than 200 different magazines. That’s nice, but what I really like to see from Apple is ‘Netflix for books’ – perhaps more accurately described as ‘Kindle Unlimited for iBooks.’ If Apple were able to bring to that the kind of discovery smarts it has achieved with Apple Music, it would be a killer product …...

This is a small feature request: to have the same Auto-Shazam feature in the Apple Watch app that we get in the iPhone one. This may be a bit niche. Certainly my own reason for wanting it is, but let’s see… To get my own niche circumstances out of the way first … I dance Argentine tango, in which you normally dance three or four songs at a time. Very often while dancing, I’ll want to know the song – either because I love it, or to avoid it in the future!...
