Earlier this week during Apple's earnings call, CEO Tim Cook said that the iPad had experienced its most successful June quarter in nearly a decade. And now IDC is out with its latest worldwide shipment figures that underline Apple's commanding lead over the tablet competition. After refreshing the iPad Air in 2020 and launching an upgraded iPad Pro earlier this year, Apple is next expected to update the iPad Mini.

IDC estimates that Apple shipped 12.9 million iPads in the second quarter. Its nearest competition is Samsung, which hit 8 million shipments. Samsung's Galaxy Tab S7 tablets offer fantastic hardware and punchy OLED screens, but they remain hamstrung by Android's less-than-stellar selection of tablet apps. Lenovo, which...

Google pairs Stadia Controller and Chromecast as $100 ‘play and watch’ bundle

Posted: 31 Jul 2021 12:00 PM PDT

Google has recently been selling a combo-package of the Stadia Controller and 2020 Chromecast as a limited-time promotion. But as spotted by 9to5Google, the company has now made the pair a permanent bundle that it's calling the "play and watch" package.

Google is also promoting the Chromecast ethernet adapter as a recommended accessory; if you want the absolute best Stadia experience, it's probably a smart buy — and it's a mere $9.99 ($10 off) when purchased alongside the bundle.

In an effort to clear out inventory of the old, puck-shaped Chromecast Ultra, Google is discounting its Stadia Premiere Edition...

The official video for Rick Astley's 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up" has surpassed 1 billion plays on YouTube. The song became a lasting part of internet culture thanks to the Rickroll meme and reached the impressive milestone a couple days ago. Astley took to the video's comments to share his gratitude, saying "amazing, crazy, wonderful!" In a video posted to Instagram, he added "the world is a wonderful and beautiful place, and I am very lucky."

With some songs having crossed as many as 7 billion views in recent years, the 1 billion club isn't quite as prestigious as it once was. But the achievement goes to show the staying power of the Rickroll prank. The video hit daily views of 2.3 million on April Fools Day, according to B...
