  • Apple TV+ short gets Oscar nominations, 'Emancipation' shut out

    JP234 said:
    No nomination for Emancipation or Will Smith is a slap in the face to Apple TV+.
    I came here to say the same thing. :-(
    Is it though? I feel like a true slap in the face would be shutting Apple TV+ out completely instead of giving them 2 noms for other projects with less baggage. I also feel like Emancipation receiving any nominations at all was a huge long shot given the circumstances (would you reward an adult baby for trashing your house?). This was a slap in the face to Will Smith and Will Smith only, and quite possibly a signal to the industry that anything he is involved with may be perceived as toxic for a very long time.

  • Early previewers praise new HomePod's 'just wow' audio

    I use paired original HomePods for AppleTV sound (we get everything via Apple TV, including terrestrial channels) and it is fantastic. I would upgrade to the second generation if they could be paired with HP minis for full surround sound. 
    Ditto, but I'd also want a "BassPod" subwoofer system to go along with it. The HPs did a good job with a lot of things, but simply can't compete w/o a subwoofer.

    I mean, Apple could sell a kit with a couple of HomePods, a couple of minis, and a BassPod for, what, $1999?
    So this kit would include a $1203 BassPod!?

  • Belkin has a Continuity Camera MagSafe Mount for monitors now

    I've been waiting for the monitor mount version but this doesn't look like it charges your phone. It should really have a USB cable coming off it to plug into the back of the monitor so your phone always charges while mounted. I'll wait for one that does that.
    I dunno man, unless I start live-streaming lengthy edging sessions on OnlyFans, I think I'll have sufficient charge on my phone for daily Zoom meetings. Either way, it's not like you can't plug directly into the phone.

  • Apple TV+ 'Shrinking' starring Harrison Ford & Jason Segal streams January 27

    Umm Harrison Ford is starring in 1923 which airs in December. Where did the author of this post get the “first non-cameo television role since 1978's "The Star Wars Holiday Special."” line?
    According to Wikipedia Ford joined the cast of Shrinking in April 2022 and joined the cast of 1923 in May 2022. Production for Shrinking also began in April with pre-production for 1923 not beginning until July 2022.
