Progress over perfection: That’s Emma Norris’ motto when it comes to creating a strong and sustainable brand online. It also happens to be the name of her first book, which came out last year after she was discovered through Instagram by an international publishing company. Starting her career in the magazine publishing world (where she wrote for publications like Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire) Emma noticed a gap in the market for realistic and relatable content for millennial women....

One of Hey Arnold’s darkest theories is not about the titular character nor his best friends, but about a character who only appeared once: the Pigeon Man. Created by Craig Bartlett in the late 1980s, Hey Arnold! made its debut on Nickelodeon in 1996 and came to an end in 2001 after five seasons and one film, simply titled Hey Arnold!: The Movie. Throughout the series, viewers met Arnold’s family, friends, and some very colorful characters from the neighborhood....

Update: See how to remove the power cable here. It requires a lot of force, Apple officially doesn’t recommending doing it. The HomePod went on sale earlier today, but there’s still a few little tidbits Apple simply hasn’t documented yet. Thanks to a helpful support rep, we now know some details about the power cable that were not clear before. The HomePod will come with a 2 meter (6 foot) power cable in the box; it’s slightly strange that Apple’s Tech Specs page for HomePod does not mention the power cord being ‘In the Box’ but the Apple Store rep assured us it is there....

Netflix was originally planning to release House of Cards Season 6 this spring, but the season’s development and production were delayed after Kevin Spacey was accused of attempted sexual assault by actor Anthony Rapp and sexual assault and harassment by several House of Cards crew members. Spacey was subsequently fired, but the show was renewed. House of Cards will return for its sixth and final season this fall — with Robin Wright at the center of the political drama as President Claire Underwood....

IP Packet Delivery on a Local Area Network is a fundamental concept that all system and network administrators should have a clear understanding of. How do computers decide where to send the packets to? Should they send them directly to the target computers, the gateway, or both? The answer is simple. Computers use their local ROUTING table to make that determination. Yes, even computers have a routing table. Actually, if a network host is using TCP/IP to communicate on the network, it will have a routing table....

HGTV’s Hidden Potential star Jasmine Roth and her husband Brett Roth are expecting their first child. The home renovation star decided to take cues from her show, the soon-to-be-parents put on hard hats and took a sledgehammer to a tiny ceramic house to reveal the gender of the new baby. Jasmine and Brett have known each other since 2005 when met while being roommates in college and then the two were married in 2013....

In 1995, a movie premiered that became a touchstone for a generation of movie-goers. The teen rom-com Clueless brought plaid mini skirts, classic movies, and “as if” to a wide audience. 2020 marks the movie’s 25th anniversary, and it has fans rediscovering Clueless on streaming sites. If the first Harry Potter novel had been published a few years earlier, perhaps the original movie audience would have sorted Cher Horowitz and her friends into their appropriate Hogwarts houses then....

One of the challenges of going ‘all in’ with HomeKit and other smart home platforms is it creates challenges when guests come to your home, as they need to turn on lights, etc. However, the Wemo Stage Smart Scene Controller is so simple yet powerful when simplifying daily usage of HomeKit. With its mountable frame to match a light switch, it might be one of my most recommended HomeKit products in the future....

Darth Vader’s castle has changed a lot over the past 42 years of Star Wars. Although audiences wouldn’t see what is officially known as Fortress Vader until Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in 2016, the idea has been a part of Star Wars since the very early drafts of The Empire Strikes Back, and has gone through quite a few changes since. In Star Wars canon, Vader’s castle sits on the edge of a lava waterfall on the planet of Mustafar, where the Sith Lord received his debilitating injuries in a duel with former master Obi-Wan Kenobi....

A new fan edited video makes light of the recent Game of Thrones coffee cup gaffe by inserting Starbucks into Indiana Jones. This Sunday’s episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones featured a lot of shocking moments, but none was more stunning than the surprise appearance of a modern day coffee cup during a scene set in the castle of Winterfell. Coffee of course does not exist on the show, which takes place in a fantasy universe largely inspired by medieval Britain....

When you create or edit an image, video, or design, you put a watermark as an efficient copyright protection mechanism. Watermarks are a great way to protect your work, but they can be a pain in the neck when trying to restore the original image/video from the watermarked one. Removing a watermark from a photo/video comes into play when you have lost the last remaining copy of the original picture. Now, this is where you need a watermark remover....

House Of The Dead: Scarlet Dawn proves arcade gaming is alive and kicking - or at least undead and kicking. The original House Of The Dead was an arcade game produced by Sega in 1996. The game allowed two players to blast their way through a mansion filled with zombies and other unholy creations. The House Of The Dead was an adrenaline-filled blast, and it was also released the same year as Capcom’s Resident Evil, which fuelled the pop culture comeback of zombies....

Annabelle Comes Home was not only the installment The Conjuring desperately needed to save it after The Nun and The Curse of La Llorona, and brought the franchise back to life. The film, which has been compared to Night At The Museum, kept Annabelle at the center of the chaos that ensued at the home of Ed and Lorraine Warren, the film’s setting, but introduced other haunted artifacts from the demonologists’ private collection....

Apple will likely unveil watchOS 4 at WWDC next month which should bring new features and improvements to the Apple Watch. I recently got my hands on an Apple Watch with the original Watch OS software which includes a few things I hope return with watchOS 4… The first thing is something I mentioned last month in my watchOS 4 wishlist: easier access to Now Playing controls through a reorganized Control Center....

Today I’m going to share with you some tips for really taking charge of the value of your business through your social media profiles. Ready to get started?...

With Josh Brolin now set to play Cable in Deadpool 2 in addition to portraying Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Avengers: Infinity War, the upcoming Deadpool sequel will perhaps inevitably include some sort of reference to the actor’s other superhero roles. While a number of film studios have been building up their cinematic superhero universes in recent years, 20th Century Fox’s X-Men franchise has been around in one form or another since Bryan Singer’s 2000 same-named film....

[This is a review of the Heroes Reborn series finale. There will be SPOILERS.] - When it was first announced as a miniseries event, fans didn’t expect Heroes Reborn to receive a second season order. As a continuation of Tim Kring’s Heroes, which ran for four seasons between 2006 and 2010, Heroes Reborn picked up in real-time five years later with Evolved humans known to the world. Though comments from Heroes Reborn star Zachary Levi, who plays the anti-Evo-turned-Evo Luke, seemed to indicate the show wouldn’t continue past the 13 episodes first ordered by NBC, the network confirmed a second season wouldn’t be happening during this year’s Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour....
