Riverdale, currently airing its fourth season on The CW, is a teen drama that serves as a darker take to the Archie Comics. With the same characters that are slightly revamped for modern times, it’s thoroughly entertaining TV if you’re into that kind of thing. Through the seasons, the story has focused on the four main characters you know from the popular comics: Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead. But there are other characters, like Josie (from Josie and the Pussycats), Cheryl, Reggie, and more....

A new report from Jeremy Horwitz of iLounge provided us with what he claimed is a few details on the upcoming fifth-generation iPad based on hands-on time with a “supposedly accurate” physical model. He also claimed to have details on upcoming iPhone releases. Horwitz noted he has inspected what he believed are casings for the iPad 5, and he described a completely redesigned device with “virtually no left or right bezels, and only enough space above and below the screen to accommodate the mandatory camera and Home Button elements....

Apparently, half of the UK’s 18-24-year olds use social media to share their lives online more than they watch television, according to new research from Flip Video. Over half (58 percent) of 18 to 24 year olds visit a social networking site every day with 42 percent of 25 to 34 year olds admitting the same frequency. It could be that the day’s of TV dominance are declining, on news that 61 percent of 18 to 24 year olds and over half of 25 to 34 year olds spend more time online than watching TV....

Traveling can disrupt even the best laid plans, and with today’s connected lifestyles, the stress of an unexpected situation is only exacerbated if you’re worrying about keeping your devices powered up. Combine that with the chaos and and spectacle that is the annual Consumer Electronics Show, and you’ve got the perfect storm for a travel headache. Earlier this month, I spent 5 days in Las Vegas for CES 2018. With me came The Carry-On, modern and thoughtfully designed luggage with USB power sent over to try out by Away....

Last week, Parallels launched the upgrade to v10 of their software and today, you can now get the full version online. Parallels Desktop has long been one of the go-to applications for using your Mac to virtualize a wide variety of operating systems, and many considered its previous version 9 as more than sufficient for getting this job done. While the software shining point has always been its ability to run Windows truly parallel to the standard Mac OS X desktop, this version of Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac takes multiple strides forward, making it even easier than before to incorporate Windows-only applications—or applications from other x86 operating systems including Android, Chrome, Linux, etc....

Understandably, most of us will want to watch as soon as we can, but can you take your kids to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker? The Skywalker saga has been a staple of childhood for many people; either watching each new Star Wars release at the movies or at home on VHS many years later....

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, the flagship attraction of Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort, finally opens this week. The delayed experience makes its debut on the East Coast on December 5, 2019 before also opening at Disneyland Park in California on January 17, 2020 and we’re here to join the resistance. Before opening its hangar bay doors to the public, Screen Rant was invited to return to planet Batuu to explore Galaxy’s Edge once again, meet with Disney Imagineers, and experience Rise of the Resistance and all it has to offer....

Despite being known for starring in plenty of crime dramas and for playing a lot of no-nonsense tough guys, Robert De Niro has made the latter half of his career extremely versatile. With great comedic roles usually riffing on his gruff exterior to movies where he’s devoid of any of his patent charisma and his appearances as extreme versions of himself on 30 Rock, he keeps cementing himself as the premier method actor of our time....

As a serious photographer, I do as much as I can to make my daily shots excellent, using cameras with low-noise sensors and fast lenses — then trying to keep them as steady as possible in low light. But even the latest and best cameras can’t snap perfectly clean images in dark surroundings. Grainy noise is basically inevitable in darkness, and the more basic the camera you’re using, the more likely it is to appear in a wider variety of pictures....

Moment announced its new MFi certified Battery Case for iPhone earlier this fall while a new Telephoto lens has just joined the company’s lineup of products to improve your iPhone photography. Read on for our full review on Moment’s sharp case and lens system. Moment’s products have a solid and refined feel. Part of that stems from the fact that the lenses don’t rely on a universal clip system. Rather, Moment has a lineup of three cases for iPhone, Samsung and Google smartphones that use a twist-lock system to securely fit lenses that seriously expand your smartphone camera’s capabilities....

Following the introduction of Voice-over-LTE technology with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which increases call quality by routing calls through an LTE network opposed to last generation 3G networks, US carriers have experienced a big increase in VoLTE calls. That’s according to a new report from Newfield Wireless that highlights a decrease for calls over 3G by about one-fifth compared to previous generation iPhones and other LTE-capable devices: The majority of voice calls made on other 4G-enabled devices are currently routed through legacy 2G and 3G networks, due to the fact that not all networks and devices are optimised to deliver next-generation voice services....

Update: It appears the TechCrunch report is based on a misunderstanding. Post updated to reflect our own understanding of the position, including a statement made by Apple to us. A reported change to the way iCloud data is stored for Chinese iCloud accounts has raised further concerns about the ease with which the government could access sensitive information. TechCrunch reported that data has been moved to servers owned by China Telecom, a state-owned company – but that report appears to be based on a misunderstanding …...

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-fU-knxT0U&t=1h1m55s&start=3720] Apple received a mention in a big way during CNN’s Southern Republican Presidential Debate held yesterday at the North Charleston Coliseum in South Carolina. The debate featured Republican Presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, and Rick Santorum. At one point (mark 1:01:55), CNN host John King asked the candidates in the light of the ongoing Foxconn controversy to lay out their plans to bring back manufacturing jobs to the United States....

The company has built out a modular smartphone camera system allowing photographers and videographers to customize their tools to suit their individual needs. I put the company’s Lego-like experience to the test over the past few weeks, and have been pleasantly surprised with just about everything it offers....

Using a wireless speaker with a built-in voice assistant and high quality audio can be very natural and fun. Just say what you want to hear and Sonos One serves it up. What’s less simple is navigating through which music services work and with what method. There’s also the upcoming arrival of Apple’s HomePod which similarly promises to match hi-fi audio with an intelligent voice assistant. So while Sonos One is a very impressive piece of technology on its own, there are a few things to consider first....

Walmart is one of several high-profile retailers that belong to MCX, a consortium of retailers that have partnered together to create their own mobile payments service called CurrentC. Due to this commitment, the big-box retailer has opted against supporting Apple Pay in its stores. A new report offers a big reason why: high credit card transaction fees. Re/code offers some insight this weekend into why Walmart “will never accept Apple Pay,” with a big part of the reason being that Walmart believes that the fees merchants are required to pay banks when a credit card is swiped in their stores is too high....
