The Cupertino, Calif.-based Company announced earlier this week that it planned to forgo the environmental rating system. The decision allegedly came after the EPEAT took up an issue with the new MacBook Pro’s Retina display and repairability factor, which iFixit detailed in a widely reported analysis last month....

Apple Pencil is fantastic as a digital stylus, but its minimal design creates the obvious question of “Where do I put the thing when I’m not using it?” for anyone that owns one. Belkin has a new solution that borrows from the traditional inkwell: Base for Apple Pencil. If you regularly use Apple Pencil with iPad Pro at your desk or want a nice solution for storing it when not in use, Base is worth checking out…...

The Zand is a desktop stand designed to be used with the iPad. It is constructed out of brushed aluminum. To use the stand, there’s no adhesives, clamps or hooks used to make the device stick to it. Instead it uses nanoparticle adsorption to keep the iPad in place. The base of the stand lifts the iPad a couple of inches off of the desk, so that it sits slightly higher at eye level, which makes it easy to see....

Rian Johnson doesn’t seem so sure about his new Star Wars trilogy right now. In November 2017, one month before Johnson’s The Last Jedi hit theaters, Lucasfilm officially announced the director would oversee an all-new film trilogy entirely separate from the Skywalker saga. Since that news broke, a lot has happened in the Star Wars universe, including The Last Jedi becoming one of the most divisive films of the decade (despite earning positive reviews and earning $1....

I’m a hard sell when it comes to headphones. Sound quality comes before anything else, even though I haven’t ventured into the 4-figure headphone territory. As reference, I’ve owned AirPods, Oppo PM-3s, Sennheiser HD600s, and Audio-Technica M50x’s in the past. A trend you’ll see in my headphone selections are that I try to be as close to neutral frequency as possible – aside from the M50x’s which were a mistake as my first pair of headphones, but I’d rather not get into that....

Although Oscar Isaac wishes Poe and Finn were in a romantic relationship, he says it doesn’t happen in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. A fighter pilot for The Resistance, Poe Dameron (Isaac) first crossed paths with the First Order stormtrooper-turned rebel Finn (John Boyega) near the start of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There was an immediate and palpable chemistry between the two characters when they met, and it only grew stronger over the course of the film....

When you’re in the company of Archie Andrews, the Riverdale sun shines just a little brighter. Pop’s milkshakes taste just a little sweeter. He’s one Disney princess dress away from having an entourage of singing little birdies. Archie is the golden boy of Riverdale. He’s an all-star athlete, possesses a chiseled rack of abs, and seems to have a cat’s nine lives as the boy has more enemies than Riverdale has maple trees....

Greg Berlanti, aka the god of the CW, has given fans a lot to be grateful for. Riverdale, his reimagining of the classic Archie Comics is a major hit, as it gives us fresh twists on the iconic characters we grew up with and thrilling stories shrouded in darkness. But Riverdale isn’t perfect by any stretch. Viewers have bemoaned the bloated seasons, random sex scenes set to overly synthesized pop music, and the lackluster musical numbers....

A smart thermostat that you can control from your iPhone is nice, but if you’re a fan of Siri then HomeKit-compatibly is a must. The ecobee3 Wi-Fi thermostat can be controlled using Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, and it uses remote sensors to determine temperature and presence around your home to be smarter about automating your HVAC system.

It’s no secret that since the launch of Apple Music, Spotify’s relationship with Apple has become more than strained. The company has publicly accused Apple of anticompetitively favoring its own streaming services, giving third-party offerings like Spotify a disadvantage. Now, it appears that Apple Music is causing Spotify even more trouble, this time when it comes to negotiating with labels. As noted by MBW, Spotify has been out of contract with all three major music companies for a significant period of time due to disputes over revenue splits....

Until last week, the list of companies making visually stunning external hard drives began and ended with one name: LaCie. Partnered with respected industrial designers including Philippe Starck, LaCie has released more drool-worthy accessories than any other company in the Mac space — and that’s saying something. Numerous design successes led to LaCie’s acquisition by hard drive manufacturer Seagate, and at the 2015 CES, their combination bore fruit: the LaCie brand now has another beautiful hard drive called Mirror ($280), and Seagate debuted a designer hard drive called Seven ($100) — the thinnest 500GB portable drive ever made....
