If you need to know something about a movie, from the year of release to an obscure actor, you turn to the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDb). Previously, the site – which is owned by Amazon – has been all text. But now that’s changed, as IMDb has begun streaming video.

As we inch closer to the expected release date of Nvidia's RTX 50-series, the number of leaks is growing by the minute.

Apple October Mac launch: everything we expect to be announced next week
Apple's Craig Federighi introduces window tiling in macOS Sequoia at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in 2024.

It's official. After an entire month of waiting, Apple has revealed that some Mac-related announcements are coming just next week. The exact timing of the announcements, along with what devices will be launched, however, are still yet to be confirmed.

That being said, the leaks and reporting on this launch have been fairly robust, so we have a fairly good idea of what could be in the works. Refreshing Macs with the M4 chip will be the focus of the event, but there may be a few more surprises too.
When will Apple launch its new devices?
