And it’s all through a different face: that of Daniel Radcliffe, who portrays the singer and song-writer who changed pop music. The movie features a serious set of co-stars, too, as Evan Rachel Wood fills in for Madonna and Rainn Wilson plays Al’s collaborator Dr. Demento. The film isn’t just about Yankovic’s success, as it … well, it’s satire. You know, just like Al’s parodies. So don’t take it for truth when it shows Al getting in trouble with cops for being a polka-obsessed kid who didn’t quite fit in....

As its name suggests, the HP 965 4K Streaming Webcam is a 4K-capable device. If you’re using a 1080 or 720p webcam, this device would be a huge upgrade. The 18mm, f/2.0 large lens and lowlight adjustment software is meant to provide a vibrant image. With these features, you should appear more like your actual self to those on the other end of the video chat. Built-in noise-canceling dual microphones should deliver clear audio quality....

I moved to suburban Houston, a city built around cars and highways, where sidewalks suddenly end and grocery stores require a three-mile drive. Suddenly, my life was a lot more sedentary. Afternoon jogs turned into weekly ambles, which then became monthly guilt-ridden limp-legged wheeze-fests. It didn’t help that Governor Greg Abbott deliberately went out of his way to rescind local mask mandates (opens in new tab), helping coronavirus particles spread through the community all the faster....

Planks, I don’t mind. Dumbbell rows are absolutely fine. But put the two together, and I hate them. Yet, in a recent exercise class, my instructor called me out for skipping the move, so I set myself a challenge to try harder and doing 40 a day felt like a decent challenge. Of course, doing the same exercise day after day isn’t recommended by any personal trainer, but in the name of good journalism, I unrolled my exercise mat, grabbed a pair of the best adjustable dumbbells, and got to work....

Nor do I pay much attention to my glutes when I go to the gym, aside from a few desultory squats at the end of a session. I try to avoid being in front of a mirror when I do them. There is only so much indignity a man can bear. So, to increase the stock of human knowledge, and because my editor commanded me, I decided to perform 50 glute bridges every day for a week....

After what seems like an age, Apple finally killed the infamous display notch (for the Pro iPhone at least) and added something that felt genuinely fresh and innovative. Using a cutout to add functionality rather than take up screen space struck me as rather smart. But now that the dust has well and truly settled after the last Apple event, and iPhone 14 Pros are out in the wild, I still remain firmly fixed to my iPhone 13 Pro....

Although I understand the attraction towards rippling washboard abs, every muscle within your core network has a unique purpose, like stabilizing your movement and preventing injury. So, while it’s tempting to focus on blasting those abs, targeting various core muscles will build a strong and more efficient engine. This dumbbell abs workout does just that and comes from Caroline Girvan (opens in new tab), who has raked in over 2 million views with this workout alone....

Now, of course, you don’t start a trilogy at the endpoint. Especially not a trilogy as immensely watchable as Tom Holland’s Spider-Man run, and we really need a good shorthand name for his trilogy (Editor’s Note: The Home Trilogy?). Naturally, I proposed that we begin with Spider-Man: Homecoming and to my great delight she agreed to give the film a shot. However, what started as a cause for celebration has quickly descended into a frustrating first hand experience of just how inaccessible the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be for newcomers....

If you missed the launch, the iPad Air 2022 is a medium-sized upgrade to the current iPad Air 2020, notably swapping in the powerful M1 chip from the iPad Pro and various Mac models, and updating the front camera to a higher resolution ultrawide sensor with Center Stage tracking. While I would have been happy with just an upgrade from the A14 Bionic chipset to the A15 Bionic, these are two of the key changes I hoped Apple was going to make, and that would convince me to buy it....

As much as I love HBO Max (it’s the best streaming service in our book), I’m looking at its November schedule with a bit of frustration. Now that the doors of The House of the Dragon have closed as we wait for season 2, they’re not exactly offering a ton to replace it with. This is personally annoying because a few weeks ago — before HBO rolled out its Nov....

Read on and we’ll show you how to watch the match live from anywhere with a VPN (opens in new tab), potentially for FREE. Swiatek comes into this match as the overwhelming favorite for the tournament. She’s the world no.1, the top seed, the only top-10 seed remaining and has an enviable record of having only lost three matches in total this year — and none on clay. And of course she’s been the champion before, in 2020....

The Insta360 One RS offers a novel take on the action camera, and one that differentiates it enough from the GoPro. By letting you change out its camera on the fly — so it can transform from a traditional action camera to a 360 camera — it gives you something that GoPro doesn’t. Read the rest of our Insta360 One RS review to see if this is the best action camera — and best 360 camera — for you....

Live Activities are alerts that appear on your lock screen and stay there, relaying updates to you about ever-changing statuses. Wondering where that cheeseburger you ordered through a food delivery app may be or how the Warriors are faring against the Lakers? Live Activities can bring that information to your lock screen, with updates as the cheeseburger delivery draws ever nearer of the Warriors go on another run against the hapless Lakers....

It’s not available to users yet, even if you download the latest iOS 16 beta software. But 9to5Mac (opens in new tab) was able to root around in the code for this latest iteration of iOS, and find out the key details. When activated (by using the iOS accessibility shortcut of three side or home button presses), Custom Accessibility Mode transforms the familiar grid of app icons into a much larger two-column grid or a list of options, with no bottom app dock to distract or confuse things....

But this isn’t just a thoughtless attempt to mimic Android’s free-for-all customization options, and Apple has given the changes a lot of thought. In a wide-reaching exclusive interview with our sister site, TechRadar (opens in new tab), Apple’s SVP of Engineering, Craig Federighi, and VP of Design, Alan Dye, explained some of those thoughts behind it. The whole piece is worth reading, but here are five of the key design choices explained by the two men....

The iPhone 12 sports an attractive design, having brought in flat edges and an OLED display. It also throws full 5G connectivity, good cameras and the powerful A14 Bionic chip into the mix. Yet it’s not perfect, with miserly base storage and lack of a 120Hz refresh rate. And the battery life could be better. Nevertheless, the iPhone 12 is still a very good iPhone, especially now that it’s cheaper than ever....

Back in March, rumors indicated that the iPhone 14 mini was being canceled. Then in June, it was leaked that the iPhone 14 Max would be replacing the mini and that it would potentially be called the iPhone 14 Plus to differentiate itself as a cheaper large screen option than the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. Despite some debate about the Max name versus Plus, the mini seemed to be tossed aside for good....

Though we’re likely four months out from the iPhone 14 release date, we have a broad sense of what the new phones are going to look like when they do arrive. And a video report from a well-known Apple leaker fills in a few more details, particularly about the iPhone 14 Pro. EverythingApplePro’s latest YouTube video (opens in new tab) largely summarizes pre-existing leaks and rumors about the different iPhone 14 models up until now....

I can confidently say that the iPhone 14 Pro is the best phone I’ve ever used, though I’m extremely disappointed by the battery life. At $100 more, the iPhone 14 Pro Max does checks all of the boxes, including stellar battery life. From its pocketable form factor to its sheer horsepower and camera capabilities, the iPhone 14 Pro crushes anything else that tries to stand against it. Sure, it isn’t the huge upgrade you might have expected, but that’s because the iPhone 13 Pro did a lot right....
