It’s finally here. Tapbots unleashed a new member of their extremely popular Tweetbot family on the world today in the form of Tweetbot for Mac. The new bot has been eagerly awaited by Twitter users since it went into public alpha in the middle of July. The OS X version of the popular iOS client boasts a similar feature-set, including timeline position syncing between devices via Tweet Marker, and even more syncing options through iCloud....

So far, everything is looking peachy keen. I’m beginning to accept that HTC doesn’t want to be considered just a smartphone company anymore, but that’s only because it’s convinced me a bit with the UA HealthBox, its latest collaboration with fitness-giant Under Armour. The UA HealthBox offers all the ingredients to help you achieve your weight-loss goals, it’s geared toward serious fitness enthusiasts. UA B For a complete comprehensive review, tktktktkt....

The iPhone comes with a pretty decent weather app, but many people find it to be lacking. Aside from the fact that it only predicts up to seven days of weather, many find its forecasts—which are powered by Yahoo!—to be somewhat inaccurate. That’s a void that WeatherSnitch 2 is eager to fill. WeatherSnitch’s interface is packed with all the weather-related information you could possibly want, but presented in a neat and orderly way that makes sense....

This gadget is the result of a one-year long passion project, created by Damjan Stanković, executed in collaboration with Marko Pavlović and others. Here’s how the beautiful description of the device sounds like: “Never before has a liquid substance been unveiled in its pure, unrefined form and controlled in a manner which allows it to display tangible shapes. There is a middle ground between the analog and the digital sphere, where the rules of mechanics and the laws of nature come together in order to create a liquid illusion reminiscent of a contemporary, digital form....

The mid-season finale of Rick and Morty season 4, “Rattlestar Ricklactica,” paid homage to a number of movies that involved time travel. The episode also explored several classic science-fiction concepts, such as going back in time to kill Hitler or save Abraham Lincoln, that have been done, redone and parodied so much they are practically a genre unto themselves. The plot of “Rattlestar Ricklactica” focused on how Morty’s attempts to ease his own guilt at killing the first astronaut from a civilization of space snakes spiraled out of control....

With the upcoming debut of the fourth season of Riverdale, fans everywhere are looking forward to more mystery, drama and deceit among the residents of the small town we’ve come to love. There’s always plenty of angst, plot thickenings and twists in store. The last three seasons have placed us in whirlwinds beyond our wildest dreams. Relationships have certainly been a part of that phenomenon. In all that time, we’ve had relationships we’ve supported, and some not so much....

Rob Zombie’s Halloween (2007) may get a lot of negative reviews from horror fans who are loyal to Carpenter’s 1978 original, but Zombie did his best to adapt from the source while putting his own spin on the material. In 1980, Carpenter sold the television rights to Halloween to NBC for approximately $3 million. The edited version of Carpenter’s original film aired for the first time in October 1981. In order to satisfy the Standards and Practices department of NBC, Carpenter had to film an additional twelve minutes of footage that would be edited into the final cut and replace many of the murder scenes....

Let’s look at an example. Let’s write a simple “Hello World” program in C. [plain] #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf(“Hello World!n”); } [/plain] The above program displays “Hello World!” and quits, so it’s very simple. Afterward we need to compile and run the program: [plain] # gcc main.c -o main # ./main Hello World! [/plain] We can see that it indeed printed the “Hello World!”. But we’re not interested in that....

The Apple Watch is like the latter. Just released in India (we are not going into the “why so late in India” debate here – that is the company’s call, really), the watch is perhaps the world’s most talked about wearable and has been discussed threadbare – which is why we did not go into first impressions mode with it. It already has been seen on so many wrists for so long now....

This Flatiron School review provides an overview of Flatiron’s bootcamps as well as some of their free lessons.

But this year has seen Moto seemingly go back to fighting on experience, as was witnessed in the launch of the Moto G (3rd generation) – triggering off another debate between the specs and experience crowd. And the bifurcation of the Moto X range seems to reflect that – the X Style is the one with the big hardware, while the X Play is the one that has a more modest spec sheet, but still hopes to deliver a very good experience, at a price that is much – much – lower (Rs 18,499/$275 for the X Play, Rs 29,999/$400 for the recently launched X Style)....

First unveiled earlier this month, Beam is the latest smart speaker and TV soundbar from wireless speaker maker Sonos. The compact TV soundbar promises hi-fi music playback and voice control through Alexa — all at an affordable price. Sonos Beam hits the market later next month, but we’ve been testing it for a few weeks ahead of its launch. For the purpose of this review, Apple’s new AirPlay 2 wireless streaming feature wasn’t ready for testing — stay tuned for our full impressions next month when Sonos adds the feature....

A new trailer for Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality brings the dimension-hopping grandfather-grandson duo to VR. Rick and Morty is making a big splash currently. On April 1st, Adult Swim shocked the world by dropping a new episode of Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon’s twisted and brilliant animated series. The show’s creators had been teasing the arrival of Season 3 for some time, while skillfully batting aside questions about why it was so delayed in the first place, so it was quite a nice surprise when a new episode just fell out of the blue on April Fool’s Day....

Rick And Morty catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub” is also a neat little Google easter egg. Rick And Morty debuted on Adult Swim in 2013 and its stellar comic writing, imaginative sci-fi stories, and vocal performances saw it gain a huge fanbase. The show was co-created by Dan Harmon (Community) and Justin Roiland and follows genius scientist Rick and his grandson Morty as they hop between different worlds and dimensions. While that might sound like the basis for a fun, Saturday morning cartoon show, Rick And Morty revels in dark and gross-out humor, and is decidedly not a family show....

The CW releases the synopsis for the Riverdale season 1 finale episode. Since debuting in January, the series has done well to keep its central mystery intact. Now 10 episodes into its freshman season, we’re no closer to unmasking Jason Blossom’s killer than we were in the premiere, and there’s an array of suspects — and unanswered questions — still hanging in the balance. What are the Blossoms hiding? Was Jughead’s dad involved with Jason’s murder?...

Interview With Robert Scoble Radu Tyrsina (RT) – Thanks for giving me this opportunity, Robert. Let’s start with this thing that Keen said, that he refers to as “digital narcissism”. It has a social and psychological meaning as there are people that don’t have a social life, they are introverts. Basically, the Internet is isolating and encircling many of its users. What are your comments? Is the internet, via the social networks, encircling us or they are actually connecting with each other?...

Update 2: The SEC is now investigating (see bottom of piece) Update 1: You can now buy GME stock in the app. The Robinhood app controversy continues to grow, with the company finding itself under fire from almost every direction. As one Twitter user wryly observed: But the debate about the company’s motives may now have been resolved … Just imagine how badly you would have to **** up to get AOC, Don Jr....

There are now a ton of third-party Apple Watch bands on the market of varying quality, but at $69, this alternative to Apple’s pricey stainless steel link band from Hyper is worth a closer look. The bands are made out of the same 316L stainless steel that Apple uses, and nothing about them indicates why there would be an almost $400 gap between these and Apple’s. The HyperLink bands come in silver and space black colors, and include two different designs....

Today we’re taking a look at some of the best Bluetooth earbuds on the planet. These are the Jaybird X2 earbuds and they are simply amazing. I suppose this review is a bit backwards as I’ve just given you the verdict here, but let me tell you why these are so great… First up, let’s get into the box. The packaging is very similar to its predecessor, the BlueBuds X. Opening up the side flap will reveal the headphones and accessories....

I’ve recently been testing the brand new Synology DS-216+ NAS ($299), a network-attached-storage product meant for consumers. Although Synology products include a variety of features, I will be focusing on two primary functions that I consider most essential and most useful to people today: Mac backup and home media management (TV shows and movies). With Apple no longer shipping optical drives in most of their products, I think now is a great time to convert your home movie collection of DVDs and Blu-rays to digital files, which a NAS is great for storing....
