Should parents be concerned about their children watching His Dark Materials? Based on Philip Pullman’s trilogy of fantasy-themed novels, a series adaptation will premiere on both BBC One and HBO in November 2019. The show is rated TV-14 in the United States due to its content and themes, and while the books have been widely read by all ages, some aspects of His Dark Materials may be upsetting for younger children....
At this point, it’s hard not to feel for fans of Green Lantern. Sure, not every comic book superhero gets a big budget movie. And yes, seeing playful nods on The CW’s Arrow is better than nothing. But as the footage and marketing for Justice League continues to spread, the rumors and whispers of a new Green Lantern are hard to enjoy knowing that, officially, the emerald hero is nowhere to be found....
We’re a week out from Apple’s September 10th event, and we have a fairly clear picture of what to expect: three new iPhones, new case materials for the Apple Watch, and more details about Apple TV+ and Arcade. We haven’t seen any reporting that suggests a new Apple TV set-top box is on the way, but there may be reason to expect an upgrade anyway. Apple’s TV efforts so far this year have focused on the latest Apple TV app and bringing it to the third- smart TVs from other brands....
Is Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 available on Netflix, and if so, for how long? When Marvel first announced their plan to not only turn some of their lesser-known superheroes like Iron Man and Thor into solo blockbusters, but also into films that would crossover with each other, other studios thought they were insane. Cut to 2012 when The Avengers was one of the most anticipated movies of recent years, and suddenly their plan made a lot of sense....
In LG’s MWC 2019 event, the new LG G8s ThinQ was finally released globally. LG G8s ThinQ eventually hit the Taiwan market on June 28 and now is available all around the world. LG G8s ThinQ is an affordable version of its big brother LG G8s ThinQ with a triple camera system. With this affordable device, customers are not more interested to buy the device more than ever. However, before making the purchase final, many customers want to know whether the new device is waterproof and dustproof?...
Apple and Major League Baseball have agreed a deal to use iPads in the dugouts during games, showing performance stats, analyze pitcher-hitter matchups, compare pitching range and more, via the Wall Street Journal. The iPads will use a custom app called ‘MLB Dugout’, created by MLB’s media division with help from Apple. In the new deal, Apple and MLB will provide 12.9 inch iPad Pros to every team in the league, fitted with rugged cases for protection....
DisplayMate has put the iPhone 12 Pro Max Super Retina XDR display through its highly detailed testing and the outcome isn’t surprising: Apple has once again earned “DisplayMate’s highest ever Display Performance Grade of A+” and “Best Smartphone Display Award.” However, going beyond the iPhone 11 Pro’s accolades last year, the 12 Pro Max has matched or set 11 smartphone display performance records. DisplayMate just published its deep dive review of the iPhone 12 Pro Max display....
Image is a third-party “metal” back sticker for iPhone 4, not an image of the iPhone 5 A source from Foxconn who we believe to be reliable has provided us with some information about Apple’s fifth-generation iPhone. Most of the information lines up with past reports but we have also learned a few new details. Most notably is that the iPhone 5 has already been seen at Foxconn and is soon going into the normal mass production stages....
Ben wrote quite the controversial post Wednesday entitled ‘Opinion: Why I love the iPhone 5s, and why I’ll be sticking with my 4Ss‘. He listed plenty of good reasons not to upgrade to a new high end iPhone and if you look at the comments, he’s not alone in that thinking. The tl;dr is that the iPhone 4s does everything ‘good enough’ given that his iPad is his primary mobile device....
I’ve upgraded my iPhone each year since replacing my months-old white iPhone 4 with the Siri-equipped iPhone 4S back in 2011. There’s always at least one new feature that makes me want to upgrade during the S years like Siri, Touch ID, and Live Photos. The benefit of upgrading from iPhone X to iPhone XS is less obvious unless you really want the new gold color or the larger Max size, but I’m on an annual upgrade plan so I didn’t need much convincing....
iPad mini 5 hits new all-time low price The latest mini version in Apple’s iPad lineup is currently on sale for $330.50 shipped. That’s a new all-time low price and down from the usual $399 going rate. The new iPad mini 5 features an ultra-portable design, which we called its defining feature in our hands-on review. Apple’s latest includes Touch ID, an A12 Bionic chip, and a Retina 7.9-inch display. iPad mini 5 supports Apple Pencil, which is a great way to maximize your savings today and take your creativity to the next level....
We’ve heard and read a lot about Apple going with two different manufacturers for the A9 chip in its iPhone 6s. Some models ship with a processor made by TSMC while others come with a Samsung-made component. While you’d expect that Apple would ensure both are built to offer comparable performance, it appears that may not be the case. It’s already been revealed by Chipworks that the Sammy model is 10% smaller, but if a couple of videos recently published are anything to go by, you might be better off with a TSMC model…...
A carrier store survey last month suggested that the iPhone 7 was outselling the iPhone 8, and this idea is supported by new shipment data from market analysts Canalys. The firm says that the iPhone 7 was the world’s best-shipping smartphone in Q3, while the iPhone 8 didn’t even make the top 5 … Canalys figures show the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus combined hit 11.8M, some 1.2M behind the iPhone 7....
For the first time, eight of Black Sabbath’s early studio albums, and three compilations will be available exclusively on iTunes. According to the New York Times, the window of exclusivity will be short, however, with the band’s music arriving on streaming services very soon. It’s worth noting that some of Black Sabbath’s later music was already available on iTunes, but many of their early tracks are first making their digital debut today....

We’re likely to see an increasing number of claimed iPhone 12 CAD images through the summer, and the latest ones are being used to suggest that the new design may be less new that previously suggested. Specifically, EverythingApplePro suggests the expected LiDAR module for improved AR apps will be limited to the larger of the two iPhone 12 Pro models we’re expecting, and that the notch size will remain unchanged from the iPhone 11 Pro …...
Thanks to the leaked HomePod software last week, we now expect the rumored iPhone 8 design with a top notch for the speaker and sensors to be what Apple ships later this year. If the nearly bezel-less design is accurate, there are several possibilities of how iOS could be designed around the top notch. Designer Max Rudberg shares three possible scenarios for the iPhone 8 and iOS 11… Each concept removes the current time from the status bar while moving navigation controls from the top of the display to the bottom of the screen....
If you’re trying to buy Apple’s cheapest iPod, the $49 screen-less Shuffle, you may be in for a difficult shopping trip. According to multiple sources, supplies of the iPod Shuffle are dwindling across Apple’s physical retail and online channels. In fact, Apple has warned its retail employees that Shuffle supplies will be short for an unspecified period of time and that customers seeking to buy a Shuffle via a retail store should be directed to Apple’s online store…...
Iron Man has had a number of different looks since the character was first introduced in Tales of Suspense #39 back in 1963. Tony Stark’s original bulkier, grey armor was totally different than the bright red and gold super-suit he wears today. However, Iron Man’s armor went through a noticeable change in the mid-’70s that might have been his most bizarre look to date. In The Invincible Iron Man #68, Tony designs himself a new mask....
Friday The 13th: The Game’s single player mode was much hyped but was it worth the long wait? The success of John Carpenter’s 1978 classic Halloween inspired a wave of low-budget imitators, including My Bloody Valentine and Sleepaway Camp. The original Friday The 13th was another entry in this slasher subgenre and was a mystery thriller enliven by the occasional gory murder and a shocking final scare. The movie proved to be a surprise smash hit for Paramount so the studio immediately commissioned a sequel....
