Verizon updates their cable box software to look like an Apple TV

Last night Verizon updated its FiOS cable box to give it a flat design, reminiscent of the Apple TV. If you use Verizon, try hitting the Menu, Guide, Info, or DVR button to see the new design.

The Tom Hanks endorsed typewriter app for iPad has been updated to take advantage of the new custom keyboard feature in iOS 8. Now you can type away in any app.

OS X Yosemite forces certain apps to be updated

I never felt the need to upgrade Final Cut Pro and Motion, as the old versions function just fine. But now in OS X Yosemite, Motion no longer works. Forcing me to spend $50 to upgrade to the newer version if I wish to continue to use it. This is an outrage, especially considering the old version of Final Cut Pro still functions just fine. One of the main reasons I didn't feel like upgrading, is that the newer apps are less functional. With the old Final Cut Studio suite of apps, you had tools such as "Soundtrack Pro" and "DVD Studio Pro" amongst others. The new suite of apps, which are all sold separately just include Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor. It's not right of Apple to just disable certain apps.

New iPads and iMacs

First, the iPads. There are two new iPads, the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3. The iPad now has a GOOD camera, you can also do burst mode, panorama, and slo-mo. There is still no flash though, but there are two mics for better audio in videos.

Now for the iMacs. It will have a 5K retina display.

NCIS is becoming a joke

NCIS is turning into another Law&Order. First there was just Law&Order, then Law&Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU), then Law&Order: Criminal Intent (CI). NCIS is now on the same path. The first spin-off being NCIS: Los Angeles, then NCIS: New Oleans. NCIS is becoming as much of a joke as Law&Order has been for years. One spin-off, fine. But now it's getting rediculas. This push to multiple spin-offs just makes me want to watch it less and less.
