While most people prefer watching videos on YouTube or streams on Twitch, some others might not be able to find the time in their busy schedules to sit down and watch them.

UK-based electronics repair site iPhonefixed has gotten its hands on one of the sapphire crystal displays to be used in the mid-range and high-end Apple Watch models and put it through a bevy of quick scratch tests to see how it would fare.

Reuters reports (via Techmeme) that Apple has persuaded a Japanese court that Samsung did indeed infringe its patent of the rubber-banding or bounce-back user-interface feature.

The same claim had earlier initially been rejected in the U.S. back in April by the U....

To say that the racially-charged horror/comedy Get Out has been a big success so far would be an understatement. The directorial debut of former Key & Peele star Jordan Peele, Get Out absolutely dominated the box office this past weekend, easily knocking The LEGO Batman Movie off of its two-week perch at #1 on the domestic charts. In the process, the film earned a healthy $30.5 million opening total, guaranteeing a big return on its relatively modest $4....

Arrested Development has finally come to a close after five seasons following the corrupt Bluth family. Over this time we’ve gotten to know each member of this estranged group and their relationships with one another. The series is well regarded as one of the greatest US comedy series, but its characters certainly have a lot of flaws. Buster Bluth is the most immature of the Bluth family and perhaps the member that’s also treated the worst....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been changing the superhero game for over a decade now, but the stakes were never higher than with the Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame two-parter. The grand finale of Phase 3 was in many ways a farewell to the MCU as fans knew it, and a whole new challenge for visual effects artists responsible for it. Between having to restore old scenes and seamlessly weave new elements into them and dealing with visually complex characters like Thanos and Hulk, they had their work cut out for them....

HBO renewed Avenue 5, starring Hugh Laurie and Josh Gad, for a second season. The nine-episode first season of the space-set comedy from Veep creator Armando Iannucci, debuted to strong reviews and stable enough ratings to warrant another run of episodes. Veep, a biting satire of the American political system, was a massive hit for HBO, winning multiple awards and running for an impressive seven seasons. Avenue 5 is set forty years in the future when traveling the solar system is no longer the stuff of sci-fi fantasy, but a booming, multibillion-dollar industry....

I’ve used Backblaze for many years as my go-to backup service on macOS. Just last week, it saved me from re-creating a presentation I worked on for three hours. I had been having issues with one of my laptops (due to macOS Catalina), so I decided to reformat the drive and set up from scratch. I didn’t realize that iCloud Drive hadn’t uploaded the document, though. I am not blaming Apple here because I was running a beta OS, and I knew I had some wonky things going on....

Batman actor Burt Ward is finally getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Ward has portrayed Dick Grayson/Robin in Batman adaptations of the ’60s and ’70s as well as voiced him in a handful of animated iterations.

Earlier this year, the fictional character of Batman was himself announced as a Hollywood Walk of Fame inductee for 2020....

As the most controversial comic book movie in history, the debates over Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice rage on even years later. The online discussion divided audiences into either loving or hating Zack Snyder’s take on DC’s heroes, instead of discussing it as fans–a problem the Batman v Superman: By The Minute Podcast hopes to change. The questions posed by the movie itself–What does “the American Way” mean today? When does a hero become a villain?...

Batwoman has confirmed a major Batman ally is dead in the Arrowverse. One of the most tantalizing mysteries in Batwoman is the question of just what’s happened to Batman. The Dark Knight disappeared from Gotham City three years ago, and Gotham fell into chaos in his absence. But Batman isn’t the only one who’s missing; all of his greatest allies are likewise absent. Both Robin and Oracle have been confirmed as part of the Arrowverse, but there’s been no trace of them....
