“Netflix’s Carry-On is a propulsive and immensely fun new holiday thriller.” Pros A perfectly cast Jason Bateman Jaume Collet-Serra’s slick, economical direction Pulse-pounding editing Cons A familiar story A few logic-stretching twists An underbaked B-plot Carry-On may be the ideal Netflix movie. The new film is part of one of cinema’s greatest and most entertaining subgenres: the holiday action movie. While its debt to titles like Die Hard and the Shane Black-penned Lethal Weapon is made immediately clear, Carry-On lacks the extra edge of precision and the movie star-level charisma that elevated those titles beyond simple action-movie fare and into…

Table of Contents Table of Contents Don’t wrap it up Going big For the past 10 years, The Game Awards has struggled to perfect its secret formula. Geoff Keighley’s annual gala has always tried to blend a traditional awards show like the Oscars with an E3 press conference. That’s historically led to mixed results. Last year’s show was especially a low point for the experiment, as award recipients were rushed off stage as quickly as possible in order to squeeze in a deluge of exhausting gameplay trailers. As I left Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater last year, I feared that it…

Intel’s interim co-CEO Michelle Johnston Holthaus spoke at Barclay’s Global Technology Conference yesterday and made some bold claims about Qualcomm PCs and the rise of the Arm ecosystem in general. According to her, a large percentage of Qualcomm PCs are being returned by customers and retailers are very concerned about it.

The assumption is that the reason for return would have to do with compatibility issues with Windows…

Table of Contents Table of Contents The Flic app makes setup a breeze Lacking key functionality Physical buttons for a digital smart home One of the major pain points of the modern smart home is its digital nature. Whether it’s controlling your smart lights, robot vacuum, smart lock, or thermostat, there’s a good chance you’re using a smartphone for most of your interactions. That makes it less than ideal for other members of the household — or even guests — to make changes to your setup. This is where Flic comes into play, as the company offers a lineup of…

iHeartRadio has launched a redesign of its mobile app — the first major overhaul since it debuted in 2011 — and it might make you ditch your car’s radio controls. That’s because the new interface takes its inspiration directly from the most popular car radio features, including station presets, a scan button, and even a live radio “dial.” It also includes a lyrics display for live radio — a first for digital radio apps, according to iHeartRadio. The company says that the redesign’s initial rollout began December 12 and will be available to all listeners on Android and iOS by…
