[The following includes spoilers for the season 3 premiere of Rick & Morty] - Adult Swim’s 2017 April Fools’ Day prank of pre-empting of their scheduled lineup with an unannounced marathon-airing of the third season premiere of Rick & Morty is already the stuff of legends one day later – even if some fans of pre-empted series like Samurai Jack were more annoyed than amused. The hit sci-fi comedy had been largely silent on the state of its return since missing the expected 2016 start date, so the sudden reappearance sent shockwaves through social media as more and more fans realized that the debut was, in fact, really happening....

Over the years, across multiple timelines and endless realities, Rick and Morty has given us some of the most memorable and unusual characters in science fiction. Their slate of supporting characters, while sometimes mystifying, is unrivaled for its creativity. It’s no wonder considering the plethora of worlds Rick and his high pitched grandson have visited. In season three the show took some inspiration from Mad Max in the second episode ‘Rickmancing the Stone,’ and introduced us to a team of Death-Stalkers....

As Riverdale nears the end of its first season, viewers are no closer to finding out who killed Jason Blossom (Trevor Stines) - although the show has certainly revealed plenty of other secrets along the way. With only four episodes left to go and a second season confirmed, fans are even starting to wonder if the murder mystery will be solved in season 1 or if it will be dragged out into the next one....

Robert Downey Jr. trolls about giving Captain America back his shield in time for Avengers: Endgame. Playing Tony Stark/Iron Man in the MCU, the actor kicked off the franchise in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man. And over the years, he’s become the poster boy for the universe. In the narrative, Stark has gone through ups and downs, including a falling out with Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers in Captain America: Civil War wherein the latter left the shield to Howard Stark’s son....

Queen Latifah will bring “mama energy” on America’s Got Talent, says freshman judge Julianne Hough. The famed actress will be making her debut as a judge for the last semifinal performances, hoping to possibly pick a winner out of the group. Queen Latifah was a hip-hop artist from New Jersey who became best known for her performance as ‘Mama’ in the critically acclaimed film, Chicago. The role pushed her to the forefront of Hollywood, acting alongside Will Smith, Steve Martin, and Jamie Foxx....

Antoni Porowski, Queer Eye’s resident foodie, is duking it out with genius chef and entertainment extraordinaire Martha Stewart… but it’s all in good fun. The two playfully bickered via Instagram comments after Porowski snapped a shot outside of Stewart’s home and captioned it: “patiently keeping my hands warm by her fire pit until @marthastewart48 follows me back.” Stewart jokingly commented on the post with: “I think we started a social media ‘feud’ which was not the point I just wanted you to acknowledge my fire, my animals and my food which you seemed to love?...

Mobiistar smartphones are great in terms of performance but it does have its own share of problems such as Wifi problems which are truly annoying. Nowadays, people are dependent on that WhatsApp update or post on Instagram and another social networking site that requires either mobile data or wifi where latter is more preferred due to various reasons. Now, if you are finding it difficult to connect to a wifi network or if it’s connected but not working, trust me that you aren’t alone....

The so-called “Golden Raspberry Awards” or “Razzies” have grown from an Oscar night party tradition created by publicist John J.B. Wilson in 1981 to an annual event that aims to take movie industry self-importance down a peg by handing out trophies for the year’s worst “achievements” in filmmaking. But while the Razzies are well-covered, many film fans have long derided the yearly routine as missing the opportunity to more boldly satirize the movie biz by skewering more controversial sacred cows (as opposed to rubber-stamping whichever box-office flop was already agreed upon as the year’s biggest dud) - with some hoping that the social and political turmoil gripping popular culture in 2017 would spur a more interesting Razzie experience this time around....

While the Realme Narzon 20 Pro is more of a complete 2020 android device with super-fast charging and a high refresh rate, the Narzo 20 is a full toned-down version. The Narzo 20 Pro is undoubtedly a complete device, but it also costs around 15,000 INR. Comparatively, we have the standard Narzo, which comes at a price tag much lower than the Narzo 20 Pro and provides excellent value for the money....

Rockstar is doing great business after the release of Grand Theft Auto Online. So much so that the high cash flow has almost made the studio unmotivated to create new original titles like Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, and Max Payne. In fact, in the last ten years, the studio has only released three original titles under these titles, Max Payne 3, Grand Theft Auto V, and Red Dead Redemption 2....

[slideshow] Earlier this year, leading up to the new iPad launch, iLounge editor Jeremy Horwitz claimed to have held the new device, and then he reported a few of the features that would ultimately launch with the third-gen iPad in March (and some that would not). Today, Horwitz claimed to have new details on the next-generation iPhone. He reported the device would sport a longer 4-inch screen, metallic backside, and smaller and rounded dock connector....

An Apple Support Communities thread has multiple reports of stuck keys on the 12-inch MacBook. Some users report that they were able to resolve the issue themselves by cleaning out debris, while others have had machines replaced by Apple under warranty … For some, the issue appears to be dirt or crumbs getting trapped in the ultra-shallow travel keyboard. Some users in the thread report success with carefully lifting stuck keys with a spudger and using compressed air to clear out dirt or crumbs....

It depends on how much gold, in terms of weight, is actually in the Apple Watch. Apple itself described the model as solid 18-karat gold, but we still don’t know for sure. We have at least an estimate, however, with Greg Koenig (via Forbes) creating a 3D render of the Apple Watch (above) and estimating around 29.16g, or approximately $1200, worth of gold. Factor in everything else included in manufacturing the watch and Apple’s usual markup and Koenig thinks the watch won’t come in below $5000....

Apple’s retail stores are the outlet for enthusiasm about Apple products. They’re where top fans gather to be among the first to see new iPhones and Apple Watches. They’re where people come to learn new skills and appreciate design. Rarely in the spotlight themselves, Apple Stores paint the backdrop of every product launch. Yesterday at Steve Jobs Theater, Apple put retail center stage — if just for a moment — to give an update on new initiatives and changes to the store experience....

The average iPad keyboard case sells for $100 or less, and there are now hundreds of options, mostly from companies based in China. But several developers have been selling deluxe iPad keyboard cases, using upscale metal housings and premium features to command $130-$180 asking prices. To that end, Belkin has debuted very early iPad Air 2 options called the QODE Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad Air 2 ($130, available now) and QODE Ultimate Pro Keyboard Case for iPad Air 2 ($150, currently available for pre-order)....

Cloud syncing services like Dropbox and iCloud Drive connect most of our devices nowadays, and AirDrop offers fast data transfer between Macs for smaller files… when it works. Physically moving files from one machine to another using a drive in the middle, or sneakernet, remains the most reliable way to quickly move files between Macs for many. Without a proper adapter, Apple’s 12-inch MacBook doesn’t fit into this workflow though. That’s where SanDisk’s Dual USB Drive ($49....

Credit: Ferry Passchier Japanese Blog Macotakara purports to have some interesting details on the plastic ‘low cost’ iPhone Apple is expected to release later this year. The site says that runs of colors Navy, Gold Orange, White and Gray are in one run of the device and White, Pink, Green, Blue and Yellow-orange are in another.

New high-resolution photos surfaced over the weekend showing what is expected to be the much thinner iPhone 6 following a report from Venture Beat that corroborates several other claims that the next generation iPhone will feature a larger display than previous models.
