The original film poster for the cult fantasy film, Highlander said it all. “He fought his first battle on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York in 1986. His name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal.” To a kid in the eighties, you didn’t need much more information than that! Swords, and giant epic sword fights set across all eras of time was like catnip to the sci-fi / fantasy crowd....

Just a few moments back the photos of the Huawei ARE-AL00, were surfaced on a TENAA listing. The specifications weren’t available at that time but now, most of the specifications of the phone have been revealed. The phone has a big 7.12 inch TFT Full HD+ display with a resolution of 2244x1080p. Given the size of the screen, it is bigger than most of the phones launched this year, so we’d call it a phablet instead....

Or worse yet, sleeping peacefully and hearing a strange noise in the house—is it the cat or a burglar!? If you think it could never happen to you, you may be surprised by how common of a crime a house break in actually is. Therefore, if you want to make sure that you aren’t locking the barn door after the horse has bolted, so to speak, read these burglary statistics in Australia....

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS up to Dark Nights: Metal #6 – When Dark Nights: Metal was first announced, it was said that it would change the DC Comics’ Multiverse forever. While this sort of rhetoric is par for the course whenever a comic company has a massive crossover event, the final chapter of Scott Snyder’s and Greg Capullo’s magnum opus has proven that there was no hyperbole involved. Dark Nights: Metal was based around the revolutionary discovery of a Dark Multiverse - a hidden level of reality based around the nightmares born of every time the heroes might have failed to save the day....

His Dark Materials is the latest book to be turned into a tv series - and it’s not the first time, either. Phillip Pullman’s fantasy trilogy has already been adapted for the big screen, but the new series seems to be succeeding where The Golden Compass failed. One of the major areas where the two adaptations differ, of course, is in how faithful they are the original source material. Although His Dark Materials is faithful to the heart of the books, it is happy to take liberties when it comes to specific plot points - whatever it takes to translate the story in the best way possible....

Showtime’s long-running serial drama, Homeland will conclude in the spring of 2020. The 8th and last Season , which recently premiered on Showtime, introduced us to new challenges that are to be tackled by our main and beloved characters. The 9-year-old periodical drama has taken viewers and critics on wild and unfettered rides questioning our ideals on the morality of the ‘war on terror,’ American intelligence agencies, and the state of intelligence officers....

iMazing, the company behind the popular iOS device management app of the same name, this week released an update to its utility app for macOS called “Hot.” The app is designed to let users monitor CPU temperature and throttling on Macs, and it’s now compatible with the Apple M1 chip. The Hot utility is part of the iMazing open source project, which means that it is completely free for anyone to use....

Netflix has announced an official premiere date for the final season of House of Cards, and released new key art featuring Robin Wright sitting on the throne. House of Cards tottered on the brink of cancellation after star Kevin Spacey was accused of sexual assault last year. But Netflix ultimately elected to bring back the acclaimed series, without Spacey in the lead. With Spacey’s Frank Underwood now out of the picture, Wright’s equally unscrupulous and power-hungry Claire Underwood becomes the focus of the series....

Most of us have landed in confusing situations because of the Facebook active status. Sometimes, we send messages to someone online, and they take ages to reply. And then others find us online and confront us for not responding. So, why the active status always raises the question of lies versus truths? Is it actually not accurate? However, how does the Facebook active status works in the first place? Why does it lack precision?...

As one of Ryan Murphy’s prized stars, Sarah Paulson has been given a bounty of interesting and challenging characters to play over American Horror Story’s nearly ten-year run. Arguably, her most notable role on the show to date was when she played conjoined twins Bette and Dot on Murphy’s long-running hit horror anthology series. Paulson’s Bette and Dot were two of the main characters in season four of American Horror Story, titled Freak Show....

HomeKit Weekly is a series focused on smart home accessories, automation tips and tricks, and everything to do with Apple’s smart home framework. There is a lot that the Aqara G3 camera can do that’s specific to the Aqara ecosystem that make it a really interesting smart home device. I really find the gesture support to be a very interesting way to interact with other smart home accessories, and I’d love to see Apple natively build it into HomeKit in the coming years....

I’ve been working my way through all of Eve’s products sold in the US, and I am continually amazed by its tight integration with HomeKit and reliable products. If Apple planned on buying a vendor to build first-party HomeKit products, Eve should be at the top of the list. A recent addition to my office was the Eve Room indoor air quality monitor. HomeKit Weekly is a series focused on smart home accessories, automation tips and tricks, and everything to do with Apple’s smart home framework....

A new program called Connected Maternity Online Monitoring (MOM) at Ochsner Health System in New Orleans is seeing success with giving smart health monitoring devices to pregnant women.

Last year’s Suicide Squad was a box office success, but like many DC Extended Universe films it, was met with a mixed reception from fans and critics. Suicide Squad isn’t as well known of a comic book team to casual viewers, so in order to draw a general audience, The Joker and Batman were given roles in the film. Ben Affleck’s cameo role as Batman certainly lent some legitimacy to the Suicide Squad’s tale, managing to connect it to Batman v Superman and the upcoming Justice League....

Each section of Hitman 2 seemingly tries to either up the stakes or the creative methods in which Agent 47 takes out his targets and the Mumbai portion is no exception to this rule. Instead of taking down a cartel or murdering a man with his own robot, however, players instead will find themselves embroiled in a mystery. The fourth mission in Hitman 2 takes players to the streets of Mumbai where they are again tasked with assassinating three different individuals before Agent 47 can move on....
