I’ve never been greatly enamoured of the concept of phone cases. You pay all that money for a beautiful design that Jony Ive and his team sweated over for months, then hide it in some butt-ugly plastic case. I’ve always just used a matte screen-protector (as much to remove reflections as protect the screen from damage) and a Zagg stick-on leather cover for the rear, leaving the phone reasonably well-protected from scratches but without making it look like something bought from Toys-R-Us....

Photo-editing apps have dominated the App Store ever since Apple’s iPhone launched in 2007, but they especially grabbed ahold of pop culture after famous photographers and photojournalists—such as Damin Winter’s prize-winning Hipstamatic Afghanistan war series and The New York Times’ Instagram summer series—advocated the iPhone as a premiere device for capturing special moments. Here’s the thing, though: there are plenty of ways to beautifully snap an image or film a video with the iPhone that will contribute to the after-effects of apps....

J.J. Abrams says that lingering questions will be answered in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, such as the mystery surrounding Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis). Thought to be the new big bad of the sequel trilogy, the enigmatic First Order commander debuted in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But before fans even got to learn anything about him, he was surprisingly killed in Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi....

There’s a reason why Archie’s friends call him ‘Pureheart the Powerful’ on Riverdale. He is one of the most selfless characters you will ever see on tv - putting his life on the line to ensure the safety of his family and friends. Although his actions can be considered reckless, fans know that they are paved with good intentions. Would you like to see some examples? Whether it is becoming the protector of the town to the time Archie broke his hand trying to rescue Cheryl from Sweetwater River, here are the 10 most selfless things Archie ever did....

The CW’s Riverdale season 4 casts Ryan Robbins as Frank Andrews, Fred’s older brother. For Riverdale fans who knew Luke Perry as the beloved Fred Andrews, the immediate question of how the show would continue without him surfaced when Perry died earlier this year. Creator and showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa wants to keep the spirit of Fred Andrews alive in season 4. The premiere paid tribute to Perry with a tearful goodbye to the beloved character of Fred Andrews....

The 2018 revision of the MacBook Pro is here, and as usual it arrives in two sizes, a 13- and 15-inch version. On the surface, Apple’s new laptops look exactly the same as previous generations, but there are significant upgrades to be found under the hood. Most importantly, a new 3rd-generation butterfly switch keyboard has been introduced, and Apple notes in its press materials that it results in a quieter typing experience....

Wireless earbuds and headphones have been the talk of the town since Apple’s iPhone 7 launched. For many audiophiles who need the best possible sound, you may still prefer to use your wired headphones. That normally means using the Lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter, however there’s a better option to keep your wired functionality while improving your listening experience on the iPhone. Enter Nexum’s AQUA; the portable, battery-less, headphone amplifier looking to take your audio experience further....

Since the introduction of the App Store, developers have been writing applications that attempt to extend the usability of your iPhone beyond what the device itself can do. From credit card readers to lightbulbs to fitness accessories, it seems like almost anything can be controlled with an iPhone now. The iSpy Helicopter is no different. If you’re familiar with the concept of the Parrot AR Drone, the iSpy Helicopter will immediately make sense....

Character breakdowns have emerged for Disney and Ridley Scott’s Merlin Saga adaptation, which may start filming this fall. As famous as Scott is for his sweeping historical epics like Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven, it’s been a hot minute since he worked on a full-blown fantasy adventure. In fact, the last time it happened was in 1985 with Legend. That film disappointed at the box office but has since become a cult title, thanks to its gorgeous visuals and Tim Curry’s performance as the Lord of Darkness....

Here’s where else you may have seen Venom star Riz Ahmed. Since making his movie debut in 2006, Ahmed has emerged as one of the best young actors of his generation. He can jump from intense dramas to comedy or blockbusters with ease and no matter the size of the role, he always delivers strong work. His first movie appearance came in Michael Winterbottom’s The Road To Guantanamo. This disturbing docudrama told the true story of the Tipton Three, three British Muslims who were sent to Guantanamo Bay and subject to brutal interrogations before being released without charge....

Chainalysis provides data, software, services, and research to a variety of organizations in over 60 countries, including government agencies, exchanges, financial institutions, insurance, and cybersecurity companies. Robinhood Crypto will be using two pieces of software called Chainalysis KYT and Chainalysis Reactor. Chainalysis KYT will help the company flag “risky and illicit transactions in real-time, while Chainalysis Reactor enables deeper due diligence into suspicious activity.” Ben Einstein, head of partnerships at Robinhood Crypto, said Chainalysis works closely with regulators and law enforcement to “develop industry best practices, and that approach is aligned with Robinhood’s commitment to working with policymakers in a collaborative manner....

Five Robots were sent to capture the images to estimate the damage and to remove the blobs of fuel with each weighing around hundreds of tonnes. However, no robot returned when they were sent into the reactors. Aftermath of the deadly earthquake, robots were sent into the core of the plant to eliminate fuel rods including amount of radiation in each building and it was not possible for the humans to enter the core of this nuclear plant....

There are a few companies that make skins specifically for Apple’s keyboards to add icons for the various shortcuts that pros use daily in apps like Logic Pro and Final Cut. I’ve tried a few in the past, but the benefits never seemed to outweigh the tradeoff of putting a clunky rubber skin over Apple’s masterfully built keyboard. The latest Logic keyboard I received in for review from EditorsKeys, however, has actually won me over and proven up to the task of permanently replacing my stock Apple keyboard....

Anyone who grew up reading Sci-Fi will know that by now we’re all supposed to be driving hover-cars and living in fully-automated homes, with Star Trek-style swishy doors and cookers we can talk to. Home automation hasn’t really happened, unless you are either very wealthy, very geeky or both. What Belkin has set out to do with its Wemo products is provide at least a touch of home automation for the rest of us: something affordable, and easy to use …...

The Late 2016 MacBook Pro lacks many of the convenient ports that we’ve seen on previous MacBook releases. But if there’s a silver lining to be found, it’s that the USB-C ports featured on the new machines are super-versatile. With a single USB-C cable, for instance, you can tap into CalDigit’s USB-C Dock, which gains you instant access to multiple legacy USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, an extra USB-C port, and an additional 3....

The promise of the Thunderbolt standard is that it can deliver a lot of data over long distances very quickly for many types of devices. Unfortunately, that promise has been pretty slow to materialize, and the long distance piece of the equation has been particularly painful. Corning is hoping to turn that around this year with the consumer launch of its Thunderbolt Optical Cables in 10 meter (33 foot), 30 meter (99 foot), and 60 meter (198 foot) sizes....

ProWidgets is a brand new tweak for jailbroken iPhones and iPads that builds on the foundation of a previous tweak called Tap to Widgets (both by developer Alan Yip) to provide the most solid and complete widget platform on iOS. With nine built-in, fully-featured widgets and an architecture that allows third-party developers to add their own, ProWidgets is one of the best tweaks you can get right now. Keep reading for a full breakdown of everything this tweak can do for you....

League of Legends developer Riot Games will pay out a massive $10 million USD settlement as a result of the long-standing gender discrimination lawsuit that was filed against the company by women who experienced a pervasive sexist culture while working there. Riot Games has been embroiled in the lawsuit since late last year, and reporting on the incident has uncovered a number of troubling stories detailing the company’s problematic treatment of women and general inequality in the workplace....

However, the most interesting thing is that many people still don’t know what it is and why it’s always trending on the internet. If you fall from the same category but want to know about Roblox, you have landed on the right page. This article will explain what it is, Roblox Promo codes, and Roblox Free Items. What is Roblox? Well, you may take Roblox as a game, but it’s more like a social platform for gamers....

A 19-year old attack In 1998, Daniel Bleichenbacher of Bell Laboratories discovered an error in the way TLS servers operate when the owners of the servers chose to encrypt the key exchanges between the client and the server with the RSA algorithm. By default, before a client (browser) and a server start communicating through HTTPS, the client will choose a random session key that will encrypt with the public key of the server....
