As part of a rebranding strategy, Morgan Creek is exploring the possibility of rebooting classic properties like Ace Ventura and Major League. This comes at a time where every production company and major studio around is trying desperately to mine its own back catalog in search of a future hit. While those who’d prefer original film and TV content continue to take issue with this reliance on franchises, it seems unlikely to stop being the norm in Hollywood anytime soon....

Benjamin and Zac break down what they want to see from Apple’s 2022 WWDC conference. There’s rumors abound for the next generation of Apple platforms, including lock screen widgets coming to iOS 16.

Developer David Barnard – whose apps have grossed millions of dollars and been featured multiple times by Apple – has written a blog post calling on Apple to take tougher action against rogue developers who game the App Store. He describes ten methods they use to give their apps an unfair advantage in either visibility or making money from in-app purchases. Some are simple and well-known, like buying fake reviews, while others are more devious – like the ones described below …...

In a note he (I think erroneously) calls ‘Amateurs vs. Professionals’, PED points out just how much more accurate individual investor bloggers were at predicting Apple’s fortunes than were those professional analysts from analysis firms.Perhaps that’s because in the case of bloggers, their fortunes are directly related to being right, while analysts will still get paid even if they’re wrong. In any case, if you are an AAPL investor, it might make sense to take a look at what the ‘Amateurs’ have to say....

Further, data compiled by Bloomberg shows that this is the first time since December 3rd that Apple has held the title of world’s most valuable company at the close of trading. It did briefly regain the title during intraday trading several times. Apple’s stock fell sharply after it revised its holiday earnings to account for slow iPhone upgrades in certain markets. Since then, however, AAPL has moved back to the top....

While Pixar has historically dominated the Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, this film studio isn’t the only one bringing home Oscars. In fact, since the category’s creation in 2001, eight pictures from other studios including DreamWorks Animation, Studio Ghibli, Aardman, Nickelodeon, Sony, and Walt Disney Animation Studios have brought home the award Best Animated Feature Award, and this could happen again soon. While the 2020 Best Animated Feature nominees include Pixar’s Toy Story 4, the lineup also features How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, I Lost My Body, Klaus, and Missing Link....

Stuntmen and women are absolutely essential to the movie industry, filling in when required to make sure the physical parts of movies look as realistic as possible. Doing so to prevent injuries to the blockbuster stars that are in the films as well. While some of Hollywood’s elite are more than happy for their stunt double to step in whenever needed, that isn’t the case for everybody. Many actors actually like to get involved and do it all!...

Using A.L.A.R.M. First download A.L.A.R.M. It’s a small utility — less than 1MB — and installation is easy. I recommend keeping all components checked during the install. After running it, you’ll have to find it in the system tray and left click it to open properties. Don’t right click, as that will close it. The interface is as simple as it can be. You can choose your own sound or leave the default one (which is pretty annoying on its own)....

A day after Apple’s iPad Pro and MacBook Air event, and one day ahead of AAPL earnings for fiscal Q4, both investors and analysts seem pretty optimistic … I noted earlier that the new MacBook Air should help further boost Apple’s average selling price for the Mac lineup, with the new iPad Pro models doing the same there. It seems investors have taken the same message from the event: at the time of writing, AAPL stock is up more than 2....
