Apple is reportedly set to open an online store in India this year. According to a new report from TechCrunch, Apple’s currently goal is to launch online hardware sales sometime during the third quarter of this year. The Indian government has eased rules that previously required companies to source 30% of production locally. This is what now enables Apple to operate online and brick-and-mortar retail stores in the country. In a statement last August, Apple said that it was “eager to serve” customers in India online and in-store, but that it would “take us some time to get our plans under way....

A new line of iMacs with ultra high-resolution Retina Displays is in late testing stages within Apple, according to our sources who have used the future desktop computer. While the machine will sport a thin profile similar to that of the current design, which was introduced in 2012, it will be packed with new internals such as faster processors and improved WiFi antennas. The fact that the iMac is in late testing indicates that Apple could be preparing to launch it alongside OS X Yosemite this fall…...

Skeet Ulrich and Marisol Nichols are officially leaving Riverdale after season 4. In the years since it debuted in 2017, The CW’s subversive adaptation of the Archie Universe has remolded Riverdale into a far darker and more twisted place than it’s typically been in the comics. That goes double for its characters, including adults like Jughead’s father F.P. Jones and Veronica’s mother Hermione Lodge. Both have battled their fair share of personal demons on the show, with Ulrich’s F....

I’ve been testing out the Robo Wunderkind Robotics Kit for the past couple of months from the perspective of an educator and a parent. I’ve tested out a dozen or so of these types of products (building blocks + iPad app), and they’ve all had one thing in common: they can be overwhelming for kids. Many of them include hundreds of pieces with pages full of options of things to create....

All of the Guardians of the Galaxy use humor as a coping mechanism, and hide real pain from past traumas under the facade of a thieving misfit, but it’s the most poignantly prevalent in Rocket. He has a sociopathic attitude towards violence, but he’s also dealing with deep insecurities. Bradley Cooper has compared Rocket to Joe Pesci’s quick-witted hothead character, Tommy DeVito from Goodfellas, and just like Tommy, Rocket has plenty of both hilarious and heartbreaking moments....

“Red Light” marked Eddie Murphy’s musical comeback in 2013, and he’s brought the legendary Snoop Dogg with him. Eddie Murphy quickly proved himself a star thanks to his stand-up comedy and appearances on Saturday Night Live. He made his film debut with 1982’s 48 Hours from director Walter Hill. This action thriller paired Murphy’s fast-talking con with Nick Nolte’s angry cop, and their unique combination made it a hit. Murphy later cemented his movie stardom with the success of both Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop....

Now couldn’t be a better time to talk about Twilight since Game of Thrones just ended. The two franchises literally have nothing to do with one another. It’s just mandatory to mention Game of Thrones for at least the next two months in order to stay relevant. Actually, one legitimate comparison that can be drawn between the two franchises is that a lot of characters die. So many people die in Twilight that it can be hard keeping track of every single death....

While lovers of classic Tolkien lit and lovers of modern Tolkien films either overlap or debate the merits of their favorite representation of The Lord of the Rings, we can all agree that each time we lose one of our most beloved characters it hits us hard in the feels. Both J.R.R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson gave us versions of incredible heroes who fought against the odds to save Middle Earth and we’ll always miss the ones we lost....

Now that Halloween’s drawing near, it’s time for everyone to get into the spirit of the holidays. What better way to do than by digging up an old show from the 1990s? For those of you that don’t know, Are You Afraid of the Dark? aired on Nickelodeon from 1992 to 1996. Despite being a kid’s show, Are You Afraid of the Dark? featured quite a few menacing monsters and terrifying, er, terrorizers!...

A report today from Reuters takes a look at Apple’s broadening iPhone lineup and some of the benefits of its new strategy. While a larger than ever iPhone lineup may seem at odds with Apple’s history of offering a simple, curated selection of premium devices, there’s little doubt this new direction has advantages. The report notes how having more iPhone models for sale has made Apple less dependent on its latest flagship, the iPhone X....

Update: Jawbone says that the report is “unequivocally false”.

This includes three devices that the company has reportedly struggled to sell: the UP2, UP3, and UP4....

Until this year, Mac owners had three major options for organizing large digital photo collections: Apple’s mainstream iPhoto, Apple’s “pro” app Aperture, and Adobe’s similarly professional-grade Lightroom. When Apple discontinued iPhoto and Aperture in favor of an even more basic app called Photos, many people —amateur photographers and professionals alike — had to decide whether to downgrade to Photos or switch to Lightroom. Apple understood that it was ceding at least the professional market to Lightroom, and even helped Adobe to develop Aperture and iPhoto to Lightroom importers....
