  • Apple TV+ renews hit 'Silo' for a second season

    I’m loving Silo, but hating having to wait for more episodes. Usually, I try to not start a season until the finalé has aired. That way I can binge at my own speed.

    however I never know how long a season is beforehand, so can’t gauge when to start near the last episode airing. Is there an easy way of finding out how my episodes there are in a season before the finalé airs?
    Download the imdb app.

  • Steam update brings new features & Mac hardware acceleration

    You go into great detail describing the new note overlay windows, but only a brief mention of the acceleration Mac users can expect. Why even mention it in the title if you weren’t going to explain it with more detail? You do know that’s the reason most people on an Apple News site are going to click on the article, right?
    "The technical work in this update makes it possible to enable hardware acceleration for the Mac & Linux versions of Steam, bringing them up to par with Windows. You should see snappier animations, scrolling and more responsive UI." This is for the Steam application, not games installed by Steam.
    Thanks. I must be link-blind, I missed it completely.

    Love the show. But really not sold on Rebecca Ferguson as the star. She's the wrong actress for the role. She attempts to compensate for her petite and frail physical appearance with combative overacting in exchanges, and is in no way threatening to anyone. I'd like to see a more imposing and authoritative figure in the role, someone like Queen Latifah, for instance. Her talent is wasted on that stupid "Equalizer" show. Or maybe Gina Carano!
    If nothing else you are remarkably consistent with your sexism. 
    Sexism? Both my suggestions are female, last I checked. In my milieu, neither petite nor frail are pejorative. Just not suitable for an action series.
    Frail definitely has a perjorative sense, and is not a word I'd readily associate with Rebecca Ferguson.


    Maybe it does ring pejorative to some sensitive (is that pejorative?) individuals (not me), point conceded. But use a photo as she appears in Silo, where she looks sunken-cheeked, hollow-eyed and anorexic, not Mission Impossible, where she temporarily added the wee bit of muscle tone you see here!

    Now I'm leaning toward replacing her with Jason Momoa or Michael B. Jordan!
    Gee, you think that the producers, of which Rebecca was one, didn't dress Rebecca to reflect Juliette's life in the Silo?

    Somehow, I got the impression that life was harsh in the Silo, but maybe you would like to see it more like Season Two of "White Lotus", where Jennifer Coolidge was the badass action figure?
    Nope. I want to see more of a different female Apple star: Hannah Waddingham! That's a person with everything. She's talented, smart, classy and if you're still not convinced life isn't fair, she sings like Aretha Franklin, and is physically stunning. Basically everything I lack!
    Definitely lack class.  Absolutely no one is asking for your opinion on the attributes of women.
    Likewise, I don't recall asking you for your opinion on anything.
    Yes you are.  Every post you make here is begging for attention.  Would probably make more sense to not give it to you.  Now there's an idea.
    But that would mean I get the last word, don't it! And I bet you can't let that happen!
    Nice one!  Make sure everybody knows who the mature adult in the room is. Inspirational, truly.

    BTW, I've never seen White Lotus. Not my kind of show. I like it when stuff gets blowed up real good! Can't wait to see that new movie "Oppenheimer." Can't beat nukes for blowing up stuff real, real good!

  • Apple wants to make an Apple Watch screen that wraps all the way around the wrist

    These rumors of a wrap around band display aren’t new. They’ve been floating around for almost as long as the Apple Watch has existed. Anybody remember the snap-band patent?
