Rick and Morty is halfway through its fourth season but is currently taking a little break before any other episodes hit the air. That being said, the series about the universe’s smartest man and his idiot grandson has already produced three and a half seasons worth of comedic gold that audiences everywhere have fallen in love with. With some time to spare before the show returns (and then, undoubtedly, another long wait before the next season starts) we decided to look back on one of the series best episodes to date, “Morty’s Mind Blowers....

Twitter’s fate has been up in the air for weeks now as the company has been the center of rumors concerning a possible acquisition. Now, Bloomberg reports that Twitter is planning “widespread” job cuts to be announced as soon as this week. Citing “sources familiar with the matter,” today’s report says that Twitter is planning to cut about 8 percent of its workforce, which is around 300 people. While these plans are still “fluid and the number could change,” Jack Dorsey cut 8 percent of Twitter’s workforce last year when he took over as chief executive officer, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility...

‘Writing a novel’ seems to be one of the default items on most people’s wish-lists. Most never start it, and most of those who start it never finish it, but if you want to make a serious attempt, using Scrivener would definitely be the biggest favor you could do yourself. I must admit that the idea of specific software for creative writing stuck me as on odd one when I first encountered it....

History suggested that iPad Air 2 cases would be far more numerous after January’s annual CES show, but due to unexpected production delays, there still aren’t many choices out there. But thanks to ZeroChroma, there are two largely bright spots on the horizon: a finished case called Folio-Slide for iPad Air 2 ($70), and an upcoming $100 version called Folio-Slide with Slide-Lid Keyboard, both of which I’ve been testing for the past week....

Star of The Real Housewives of Orange County Meghan King Edmonds and Dancing with the Stars’ Brooke Burke are launching a podcast all about sex and relationships. The iHeart Radio show will cover all the juicy details regarding the two woman’s personal lives, including the housewife’s current situation with Jim Edmonds. When King Edmonds first made her debut back on The Real Housewives of Orange County in 2015 on the 10th season of the hit show, she was not a fan favorite....

I’ve been curious about the 21:9 display format since it started to creep into mainstream displays last year. Originally developed to display cinema grade movies natively, computer users are now snapping these up to give themselves a sort of wide ‘Bloomberg terminal’ without the break (and the swivel between displays). I received the Philips 298P4 29-inch 21:9 display a few weeks ago and have set it up as my display at my desk....

As that low price suggests, however, WatchStand makes compromises in both materials and functionality. Built primarily from plastic with a rubber core, it’s certain not to scratch a stainless steel or gold Apple Watch. But would you actually want to use it with one of Apple’s more expensive timepieces? That’s another question… Key Details: 4.2″ square by 7″ tall stand holds an Apple Watch 6″ up, plus any iPhone resting on its side You self-supply the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable (and iPhone-ready Lightning Cable) Substantially plastic parts with a rubber cord-managing core Slightly tricky one-time assembly Affordable by dock standards WatchStand arrives as a set of five mostly plastic parts: a heavily weighted black glossy plastic base that looks like a flattened Apple TV with a hole in the center, a matching glossy pipe, a rubber cable-managing core for the pipe, a glossy cap for the core, and an optional semi-circular rubber insert....

For a while, Scotland-based audio company RHA was known primarily for delivering audiophile-grade sound in affordable earphones. With the T20, that’s not exactly how they played it. In fact, this set of headphones is not anywhere near cheap enough to be classed as an affordable pair, but I still feel that in terms of design, audio and versatility, they comfortably give you your money’s worth. That’s despite the fact they’d set you back $240/£180 if you decided to splurge on them…...

The latest Rick and Morty episode featured Rick on one of his most insanely-driven missions yet - to surprisingly tragic results. Following the Rick and Morty season 4 premiere - which featured two distinct yet overlapping storylines - season 4, episode 2, “The Old Man and the Seat”, was divided into three separate threads. Morty and Jerry found themselves on a quest to shut down an app that the latter had co-developed with Glootie - who, as one of the Rick and Morty episode’s many guest-stars, was voiced by Taika Waititi....

As the title suggests, the third-person shooter roguelike video game ‘Risk Of Rain 2’ is in the early access mode as it’s recently launched officially. As always the Risk Of Rain 2 PC version game includes a bunch of issues or errors that should be fixed by the developers soon. Meanwhile, some of the Risk Of Rain 2 PC players are experiencing Early Access Disclaimer Error and if you’re one of the victims, then check out this simple troubleshooting guide....

Riverdale isn’t a town you would want to be living in as it is full of criminals, gang rivalries and serial killers. However, there is one person who is determined to clean the town up and that is Archie Andrews. Known as Pureheart the Powerful to his friends, Archie is like a teenage Batman - attending school in the day but is a crime-fighting vigilante by night. However, Archie should really clean his own act up as he also seems to stray from the morally-right path....

The Oppo F7, from the outside at least, doesn’t look like a mid-range phone. Its build, which while is made out of plastic and a polymer composite material oozes a sense of glass and feels premium as well as pleasant to hold. The rounded corners ensure the phone comfortably fits in your hands in spite of the presence of a 6.23-inch screen, thanks to the 90% screen-to-body ratio. It looks impressive as well especially if you opt for the Solar Red or Diamond Black variant....

It’s called A/B testing: They would be able to determine if one version with a certain set of features sells better at $1.99 than another edition at $0.99. Some users may get a red app icon with their download, others a blue one. They could then optimize what they offer in the store depending on the app purchase use metrics. A/B testing may be only one of a host of new developer-friendly features for the ay store announced at the coming I/O conference, as has been trying to make the ay Store just as lucrative as Apple’s App Store....

According to information made available to Android lice, ’s rkshop will let users customize cases make live wallpapers that would correspond with the device’s outer shell. It’s kind of like the customization abilities of Motorola’s Moto X, except that this particular feature will only be made available for the Nexus 5, it’s for cases, not the phone’s body itself. The rkshop will be accessible through your browser via the ay Store....

The V10 revamped tch Urbane were quietly announced last night in Seoul. One is an Android-powered smartphone with dual front cameras a second screen, while the other is the company’s first cellular-enabled Android ar smartwatch. A phone made “with creativity in mind” The V10 is a slightly different product for . On the inside, it’s like any other Android-powered smartphone: it features a Snapdragon 808 processor, 5.7-inch QuadHD display, 4GB of RAM, a 3,000 mAh battery pack....

Bluetooth trackers have been a handy way to keep tabs on our valuables for some time now. Attach one to a bag, or slip one into your wallet, and you can then use your iPhone to help you track them down if you mislay them. The ‘wallet’ part of that idea has, though, worked rather better in theory than practice. Even supposed slimline trackers have so far been too bulky to slip unnoticed into a wallet, which is the problem Chipolo set out to solve with its new Card tracker, which goes on sale today …...

We’ve taken a look at a vast array of portable Bluetooth speakers and have found that most include similar features but sound quality and reliability can vary greatly. That’s why we eagerly awaited the arrival of our JBL Pulse, because it dares to be unique in a sea of familiarity. A dazzling display of LEDs encompasses the entire unit, bringing your music to life by dancing along with the beat. We put this new speaker to the test to see if this LED-studded speaker is just a novelty or if it has a lasting impact on the way we enjoy our music…...

One of the problems of being a keen photographer is that it’s easy to slip into a mode where you treat every photograph as if it were a professional assignment. You can end up carrying around a lot of kit, and then spending a lot of time editing photos. I now make a conscious effort to decide my objective in advance. Is it artistic – where the kit and the time will be justified by the result – or am I simply seeking to capture a memory of an event, aka a snapshot?...

Research In Motion’s in the news today: not only is its iPad-killing PlayBook delayed until around the time iPad 2.0 is expected to ship, but Mac users with a BlackBerry can now download the latest desktop connection kit. Meanwhile the company’s financial results were alright but nothing supercalifragilistic. By the numbers then: “BlackBerry Desktop Software 2.0 for Mac OS brings WiFi music sync, broader iPhoto / iTunes support” declares Engadget....

Police and other law enforcement agencies requesting Ring video surveillance footage to help solve crimes will now need to make those requests in public. Previously, they had the ability to email Ring users to request copies of video that might show crimes in progress, or otherwise help to bring criminals to justice … Engadget reports that such requests will now have to be publicly made through the Neighbors app. Footage from doorbell and other security videos can often play an important role in identifying criminals, and providing evidence that helps to convict them....
