Kendrick Lamar, who won five awards at the Grammys this week, will appear in the experience Humble in the Synth Riders Experience on the Apple Vision Pro.
The immersive Synth Riders Experience is exclusively available on Apple Arcade for the Apple Vision Pro. It’s timely as Kendrick Lamar will be on the Apple Music Halftime show at Super Bowl LIX on February 9.
Even if you can’t be at Super Bowl LIX to see Lamar at the Apple Music Halftime show, you can enter an immersive Synth Riders Experience featuring his music. Kluge Interactive created the Kendrick Lamar – Humble – Synth Riders Experience.
Each Synth Riders Experience is a spatial-musical journey, as if you’re entering the universe of a song. In this case, moving in a world transformed through the lens of Kendrick Lamar’s Humble music video. Moody spotlights shift to the beat, transporting players from New Orleans to the streets of Los Angeles. From there, making it through crowds to take a rightful place on the throne.
Synth Riders is an XR experience of spatial music.

“Everyone here at Kluge Interactive is excited for the upcoming launch of the Kendrick Lamar – Humble – Synth Riders Experience exclusively on Apple Vision Pro,” said Kluge Interactive CEO Arturo Perez, in a statement. “Being able to work with a song from Grammy, Emmy, Billboard, and BET award-winning artist Kendrick Lamar is an amazing opportunity. There’s no better way to do it than with ‘HUMBLE.,’ one of his first — of many — Hot 100 number one hits.”
A launch title for Apple Vision Pro, Synth Riders was nominated as best Spatial Computing Game for the Apple Design Awards. Following that, Kluge Interactive delivered the Current Waves Music Pack featuring chart-topping Apple Music artists such as Charli XCX, David Guetta, and Sia.
“We’re thrilled to see how teams like Kluge Interactive are pushing the boundaries of immersive experiences with Unity for Apple Vision Pro,” said Steve Collins, CTO, Unity. “The Kendrick Lamar Humble — Synth Riders Experience exemplifies the incredible potential of spatial computing, seamlessly blending music, visuals, and interactivity to captivate the audience.

Elon Musk’s social media platform X may not only be getting more interest from e-commerce giant Amazon.
As per a recent report, tech giant Apple may also be pondering a return to the social media platform.
X controversies:
Apple, together with several high-profile advertisers, pulled its ads from X in late 2023 following a report from Media Matters of America, which claimed that the tech giant’s ads were appearing alongside extremist content.
X has responded by suing Media Matters, arguing that the watchdog used deceiving tactics to give the impression that advertisements from major corporations were appearing alongside controversial content.
In a recent report, The Wall Street Journal noted that Amazon was increasing its ad spend on X.
The publication, citing a source reportedly familiar with the matter, stated that in recent weeks, Apple has also had discussions about testing out ads on X.
“Apple, which pulled all of its ad dollars from X in late 2023, in recent weeks has had discussions about testing out ads on the platform, according to a person familiar with the situation,” the WSJ report noted.
X after Musk:
Following Musk’s controversial takeover of X, the company’s ad revenue saw a steep drop.
X, however, has since launched several initiatives aimed at gaining more revenue and attracting more users to the platform.
These include the launch of a monetization program for creators, as well as upcoming services like X Money, which was recently announced by the company.

Apple in discussions to test out ads on Elon Musk’s X: report
According to a recent report, Apple is in discussions to test out ads on Elon Musk’s X. This potential partnership could bring a new revenue stream for both companies and provide an innovative advertising platform for Apple. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development! #Apple #ElonMusk #Advertising #Innovation #Partnership
Another weekend, another batch of shows and movies to wile away the hours with. Today is the last day of January, so this is the first streaming guide of February, 2025. And there are definitely a few things worth checking out new to the myriad streaming services we all subscribe to these days.
Every week, I search high and low for the best new TV shows, movies, comedy specials, documentaries and whatever else catches my eye and publish them here in this guide. Some I’ve seen and reviewed. Others are just as new to me as they are to you. I also list the current ongoing shows that air each week that I think are worth watching.
If you have any tips or I missed something, shoot me a message on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. You can check out last weekend’s streaming guide right here.
Paradise is a new sci-fi political thriller from Dan Fogelman, the creator of the huge hit series This Is Us as well as Only Murders in the Building and the wildly underrated fantasy musical series Galavant (which I highly recommend). It stars This Is Us alum, Sterling K. Brown as the chief security agent for a US President, Cal “Wildcat” Bradford (James Marsden). The first episode is filled with mystery and one genuinely shocking turn that I won’t spoil.
I’ve only seen the first episode and I thought it was pretty good, but not great. Good enough to keep watching, not good enough to sing its praises (at least not yet). The big twist has huge implications for the rest of the series, but I’m not sure that I love it. We shall see. The first three episodes are out now, with more following every Tuesday for a total of 8 episodes. Critics and audiences largely agree on this one. On Rotten Tomatoes it has an 80% with critics and 79% with audiences.
You’re Cordially Invited (Prime Video)
Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon star in this rom-com / comedy of errors from director Nicholas Stoller (Neighbors, Get Him To The Greek). The premise is simple: A bride and her father realize that the wedding venue they’ve booked for her wedding has also been booked by another bride and her sister. Comedy ensues, though critics and audiences both give this one a “Rotten” score (45% and 39% respectively). Might be a fun popcorn movie, though.
The Recruit – Season 2 (Netflix)
This looks right up my alley, but I missed the first season of The Recruit when it came out so I have some catching up to do. The series follows rookie CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks (Noah Centineo) as he becomes embroiled in some good old-fashioned international espionage. Critics seem to like Season 2 better than Season 1, while audiences give it a slightly lower score on Rotten Tomatoes. I’ll have to check it out.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (Disney Plus)
X-Men 97 was a big hit on Disney+ so it’s no wonder we’re getting another “retro” animated series. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man brings back that old-school animation along with lots of fun adventure for our web-slinging hero. Critics give this a resounding “Fresh” score of 97% but audiences are more skeptical at 63%.
Saturday Night (Netflix)
Saturday Night follows a young Lorne Michaels and his crew as they prepare for the very first broadcast of Saturday Night Live. Director Jason Reitman teamed up with Gil Kenan on the script. Some critics really hated this one, but overall it’s done well with both critics and audiences (who liked it more) and I’ve been waiting for it to drop on Netflix. Fans of the original SNL cast—which included young Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase—should definitely give this one a shot. Matthew Rhys plays George Carlin who, you may recall, gave the very first ever opening monologue for SNL.
Babygirl (VOD)
Now out on Video-On-Demand, erotic thriller Babygirl from director Halina Rejin stars Nicole Kidman as CEO Romy Mathis. She’s unsatisfied with her sex life and turns to a younger man, Samuel (Harris Dickinson) to explore her submissive fantasies. I haven’t seen this, but I do find it funny that the actor who plays Kidman’s husband is Antonio Banderas, which ought to make suspending your disbelief at this entire scenario pretty difficult!
Dog Man (In Theaters)
Beloved kids book series Dog Man is now a feature film from DreamWorks. Sounds like it’s fun for the whole family with a 79% Rotten Tomatoes score. Parents should at least consider doing their civic duty and take their kids, if only to remind them that movie theaters still exist and can be a lot of fun.
What’s Streaming Weekly
As always, a number of TV shows continue to air each week—not everyone has adopted the Netflix binge model!—and I list some of those here.
Prime Target continues airing new episodes on Apple. This spy thriller follows a math genius obsessed with prime numbers who heads down a twisty turny path of no return. I still haven’t started it yet, as I caught up on the first season of Lioness and then started rewatching The Wire. But I’ll check it out soon. New episodes drop Wednesdays. (Apple)
The Pitt just dropped its fifth episode Thursday though I haven’t had time to watch it yet. I loved the first four episodes (my review) and I’m not even that into medical dramas. This one stars Noah Wyle of ER fame and takes on the 24 format where each new episode is another hour in the Pittsburgh ER. It’s incredibly bingeworthy, so consider holding off watching as episodes air and then binge a few at once. New episodes drop Thursday. (Max)
Traitors – Season 3is the most popular reality TV competition show out at the moment and I’ve heard great things, but as I am not a reality TV show fan, I have not watched it. I might have to break my own rules, however, just to see what all the fuss is about. (Peacock)
Dexter: Original Sinis one of those shows where each time I remember a new episode is out I get really excited. Like right now, as I type this post I realize there’s a new episode out because a new one drops each Friday. Maybe I’ll go watch it after I’m done writing this guide! It’s so much fun and such a pleasant surprise. Here’s my review. (Paramount)
What are you watching these days? What should I put on this list or add to my backlog? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky or Facebook.

Exactly what you need to arm-mount your Apple Display
A few years ago I bought some USB-powered Video meeting LED lights from HumanCentric. The controller failed and HumanCentric quickly acknowledged the known issue and quickly mailed me an updated controller. I still use the lights to this day!For this reason I did not hesitate to buy another product from them. Their mount is well-built and comes with everything you need to arm-mount your old Apple Display, even the card tool to remove your factory stand! Took me less than 10 minutes! I am very happy and would not hesitate to buy any product they offered expecting it to be well designed, well made, well packaged, clear instructions, and people of integrity standing behind it. Thank you HumanCentric. Perfect!
I have a mid-2011 Thunderbolt display and wanted to mount on a monitor arm. This VESA adapter worked perfectly, is made of machined aluminum and came with all the right screws and tools to get the job done. They even included a special bent piece of plastic to properly unlock the stand so you can reveal the attachment screws to remove the stand and attach the mount.
Read their instructions because for my mounting setup, there was about a 3/8" gap between the mounting block and the plate, so it seemed like things didn't fit properly but this is by design. Just don't overtighten the two bigger mounting screws, otherwise you'll bend the aluminum bracket. The gap didn't seem to be an issue and the monitor is securely mounted now.

So this product is great. Used was just fine. Straight forward if the monitor stand releases right.
What stinks is Apple's garbage hinge design. It is very easy to release the monitor stand hinge and have it retract inside the monitor.
The hinge release is a critical part of being able to utilize this without getting confused.
I really wish it included a tool to pull the stupid hinge back up if something goes wrong. Or at least a troubleshooting section. I have seen a lot of posts about it. Fortunately it's easy enough to bootleg things back. Hopefully this review helps someone. Two approaches. Take it to Apple if you aren't skilled. The alternative is to use some form of wire or fishing string. Cat5 works great. Thread it through the holes, wrap around a screw driver or pliers, press the lock patch again, and then pull up. Don't forget to release the lock first when it's up. After that, this mount is great. 10 minutes to install, 2.5 hours messing with Apples stupid stand hinge.
HumanCentric did a great job in writing the description for the product as well as giving you a general sense that although this isn't crazy difficult, there may be some bumps in the road during installation. After ordering they sent out an email describing everything in a little more detail, along with offering to help walk through it once everything was received. All the necessary tools are included in the package so all you need is a little bit of time to get everything installed. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Actual installation wasn't all that difficult as I was prepared for a real mess. The absolute most difficult and most important part is to MAKE SURE THE STAND IS LOCKED INTO PLACE once you use the included card to access the screws. After I took out a few screws the stand started to slip back into the iMac but luckily I was able to get it to release and lock again.
TL;DR – Great product. Easy instructions and preparation. Once installed everything works perfectly and looks awesome mounted on the wall swing arm.
The mount works as advertised, and seems very sturdy and solidly built.
However, the instructions failed me on one obvious (perhaps), but very important step. After you remove the stand from your monitor/computer, the mounting bracket should be exposed. It isn't clear from the instructions that this should be the case, and for me the mounting bracket retreated back into the monitor after I removed the stand. So after rereading the instructions, looking around inside the monitor with a flashlight, and otherwise thinking I had missed something very obvious, I came back to Amazon to check what I bought, thinking that I bought the wrong thing. I then read more reviews for the mount and discovered that what happened in my case is pretty common.
If this happens to you, you're going to have to get creative to expose the mount. What I ended up doing was taking a length of guitar string and threading it through the screw holes on the mounting bracket, then pulling (while simultaneously pushing in the tab with the provided plastic card). I eventually got it to lock in place so I could install the flange, but it was a HUGE pain.
Had the instructions made more explicit the need to make sure the mounting bracket remains locked and exposed before you remove the stand, it would've saved me a lot of time and frustration. And given that this is pretty common, it would also be helpful if they included guidance on what to do if your mounting bracket doesn't stay exposed.
Purchased this to mount my Apple Thunderbolt Display to a HEMUDU Single Tall Desk Monitor Arm Mount Stand on my standing desk. Held the display well. No concern about stability. Easy enough to add/remove to the display.
The description is misleading. This mount doesn’t fit the 2011 27” Apple Cinema. Just look at the picture. I didn’t look at the reviews carefully enough to see this problem. And the bolts provided are too short to cover all this room between the monitor’s body and the mount. I see somebody in the reviews solved this by buying longer bolts, but I guess I’m not supposed to do any additional finicky business with the product that I paid for. Also this just doesn’t look right to me, because bolting this mount as is doesn’t look sturdy enough for a heavy monitor like this. Disappointed, returning.

Esencialmente es lo mismo que el de marca Apple, es de buena construcción y muy fácil de instalar, no tiene mayores complicaciones, los comentarios que he visto negativos se basan en el problema con el propio soporte del Led Cinema o de la iMac, pero no con el producto adquirido en si, es buen producto
As seen in other reviews the brace is too tall. As this was the only imac 2011 27” brace that amazon showed me i thought i had no other choice. Or buy the apple one. Had to grind of a good 0.6 mm on each side and cut the plastic feet to make it fit. Then i had to re-tap the 2 big mounting holes because apparently they were not properly tapped/deburred at the factory thus stripping both supplied screws. Got new ones from the hardware store. Only after doing all this Amazon starts showing me other imac vesa mounts which look lik exact copys of the apple version. Better buy anything else if you have an imac 2011 27”.
Had to cut mount and re-tap screwholes it to make it fit.

As seen in other reviews the brace is too tall. As this was the only imac 2011 27” brace that amazon showed me i thought i had no other choice. Or buy the apple one. Had to grind of a good 0.6 mm on each side and cut the plastic feet to make it fit. Then i had to re-tap the 2 big mounting holes because apparently they were not properly tapped/deburred at the factory thus stripping both supplied screws. Got new ones from the hardware store. Only after doing all this Amazon starts showing me other imac vesa mounts which look lik exact copys of the apple version. Better buy anything else if you have an imac 2011 27”.
Such a relief! I thought I'd have to replace my Thunderbolt Display but now I can easily wall mount it in my new office. Finding the thing you need and getting is delivered is something we all take for granted, this one was a delivery of an item in scarce supply to a country a lot of vendors exclude from their delivery scope. Fast, neat, reliable – excellent UX, outstanding service! Thank you!
Weil es mir passiert ist, erwähne ich es hier mal: Beim Abschrauben des Standfusses, unbedingt darauf achten, daß das kleine schmale Befestigungs-Stück, aus dem die Schrauben gelöst werden, voll ausgezogen und eingerastet ist! Sonst kann es passieren, daß nach dem Abschrauben des Standfusses vom Monitor, die Befestigung in dem schmalen Displayslot "verschwindet". Und dann braucht man etwas Geschick und kreatives Denken, um das Teil, an dem dann der Vesa-Adapter angeschraubt wird, wieder da raus zu ziehen. Die Erfahrung braucht es nicht wirklich. Ich empfehle, vor dem Wechsel in Ruhe zwei, drei Tutorials auf Youtube zu kucken und wirklich achtsam beim Wechsel vorzugehen. Belohnt wird man mit einer günstigen und wertigen Halterung, die eine echte Alternative zum Original-Teil von Apple ist. Allerdings sollte man auch darauf achten, einen Monitor-Halter zu kaufen, der mit den ungefähr 10KG eines Apple 27" Displays nicht überfordert ist.
24" / 61 cm This VESA mount adapter fits select Apple iMacs and displays: This bracket is only tested and guaranteed to work with: Apple Thunderbolt Displays, LED Cinema Displays, 24-inch iMac (aluminum), and only late 2009, mid 2010, mid 2011 for 27-inch iMac. It will not work with other models, check yours carefully. Note: The adapter only works with specific iMacs with removable stands. It will not work with 2021 iMac computers as they do not have removable stands. Important note: Please check the compatibility chart on the second image to ensure your iMac or Apple Display model is listed. This VESA adapter Does not fit all iMacs and Apple Displays. Double check the year of your model before purchasing. The most recent compatible iMac is over 10 years old. If you aren’t sure if this adapter works for your model, please ask. This bracket replaces the Apple iMac VESA Adapter kit MD179ZM/A. Mount your Apple iMac or display on a standard VESA mount: Even though these monitors weren’t made with mounting holes, our convenient bracket enables you to connect your Apple iMac or display anyway. Whether you’re looking to mount it on the wall or just get it off your desk, this bracket will let you connect your monitor in seconds. Works with dual and triple (and more) mounts too. Easy installation: You’ll be able to install this bracket quickly and easily, all specialized tools included. We’ve completely redesigned this adapter to eliminate the alignment issues found in the Apple version, and tested it extensively to make sure it fits your monitor just right. This unique adapter is different from anything else on the market. The alignment issues that plagued the original Apple adapter (and all its clones) have been eliminated for a greatly improved fit that you can’t find anywhere else.
