Version 1.4.0 of Google Drive for iPhone and iPad introduces the ability to “view, create, reply, and resolve comments in Google Docs files,” something users could not previously access from the mobile app for iOS.

The screenwriters shared what they had in common with their mischievous protagonists in a recent interview with Screen Rant, and recalled some of the more hilarious moments on set. Guys, one word to describe this film? Diabolical. This film’s a lot of fun; I think it’s the best comedy of the year....

Wedge Partners analyst Brian Blair has suggested that Apple’s share price could be temporarily depressed by disappointing Q2 results in March before climbing by as much as 20 percent in response to new products in the fall, reports Barrons. Blair cites several factors for expecting the stock to take a hit in March when Apple reports its earnings for its Q2 fiscal year (Q1 calendar year). Among them are the general slowdown in the saturated high-end smartphone market, continued soft demand for the iPhone 5c, overly-optimistic market forecasts for China Mobile sales and a reduction in the number of people upgrading their iPhone as they wait for the rumored larger-screen phone(s) in the fall....

When Snapchat Spectacles were first announced, the question of prescription lenses came up early on for anyone that already wears glasses. The Spectacles seemed great, but wearing regular glasses underneath them would just be absurd. Snapchat’s recommendation was to consult an optician to get the lenses replaced. Today, GlassesUSA.com is announcing the availability of Rx single vision lenses for the Spectacles, with no mail-in required. Spectacles owners can head over to GlassesUSA....

Ridley Scott has revealed how he would bring Maximus back from the dead in a sequel to Gladiator. In the director’s Oscar-winning epic, Russell Crowe’s brave General Maximus survives his betrayal and attempted murder at the hands of Joaquin Phoenix’s scheming Commodus and is metaphorically resurrected as a gladiatorial warrior who rises to become even more popular than the emperor. Maximus goes on to seek revenge against Commodus and ultimately dies in the arena, but not before triumphing over the man who killed his family and destroyed his life....

But this year’s event looks markedly different from Rio and London. Due to COVID-19 protocols, spectators aren’t allowed in the stadiums and athletes are required to wear masks at all times when not competing. And to minimize contact, podium winners will be asked to place medals around their necks themselves. The pandemic-inspired changes don’t seem to be dampening fans’ excitement surrounding the socially distanced games. Viewers are taking to Twitter to share which events they’re most looking forward to and their hot takes on athletes’ performances....

Google announced yesterday that it will be ending support for its YouTube Data API v2 used by older devices. For Apple users, this means the YouTube app will no longer work on iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches running iOS 6 or earlier; users instead will have to rely on the mobile web version of YouTube at m.youtube.com going forward. The change also affects some Apple TV users, as only the current 3rd-generation 1080p Apple TV supports YouTube’s overhauled channel; prior-generation models will entirely lose access to YouTube…...

The European Commission has proposed that the 3% tax would be levied on companies which make ‘significant revenues’ from online services in EU countries. For Apple, this would include things like iTunes sales, Apple Music and Apple Pay commissions. Germany had previously been ambivalent about the proposal, but Reuters reports on a suggestion that the finance ministry was now actively opposing it. Reuters says that the ministry denies that it has reached any conclusion on the matter....

You’ll also need to make some upgrades to fight the inevitable slowdown and keep up with the latest operating systems and programs. There is a point, however, when it will just be more cost-effective to get a new system. In the past, we’ve talked about when you should upgrade vs. replace a computer, but now there’s one more thing you can try to liven up an old computer first. That one thing is to install a non-Windows operating system....

Little-known until its debut at SXSW this weekend, Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney’s “Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine” has been picked up by Magnolia Pictures for a North American theatrical release, and CNN Films for television broadcasts, Deadline Hollywood reports today. An earlier story from The Hollywood Reporter claimed that several Apple employees in attendance walked out early, and Apple’s Eddy Cue has used Twitter to denounce the film, calling it “inaccurate and mean-spirited....

Godzilla has had a lot of literal growing pains over the years, so how do all the different versions of Gojira compare to each other? The original Godzilla from 1954 was a somber reflection by the filmmakers on Japan being attacked by nuclear weapons during World War II, with the monster himself standing in for the devastation caused. This version of Godzilla stood 50 meters tall but as the monster became more popular, not only would the franchise increase in stature, but so would the title beast himself....

Google announced today that it updated its Slides app, available for Android and iOS, to both support Google Cast and AirPlay. The update comes following the announcement of the Remote Display API that Google showed off at its I/O developers conference at the end of June, which allows developers to present more intricate applications and games on a remote screen. After you’ve used the new app to cast your presentation to an AirPlay or Chromecast device, you can use your phone as a remote and control the slides being presented on the big screen....
