Warning: Minor SPOILERS ahead The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina season 2 offers some fresh connections to its sister show over on The CW, Riverdale. While there’s no news of an actual crossover between the two shows yet, both Riverdale and Sabrina have waved to one another from afar and they appear to be set in the same universe - even if Sabrina’s side is a little more supernatural. Both Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina were created by Archie Comics CCO Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa....

A Chinese carrier has sent out an interesting photo on its Weibo feed earlier today, as spotted by iGen.fr. The note very clearly alludes to an as-yet-unannounced red iPhone color, with a pun of the word Ready. The idea of a red iPhone has been rumored before and it’s something that doesn’t really justify a dedicated Apple product event. That being said, Chinese retailers have been known to play fast and loose with their marketing often teasing Apple product announcements that never see the light of day....

Ok – History lesson over however let’s not forget the lesson. It’s all about the Apps – Period. This decade Apple demonstrated they wouldn’t lose this battle twice and launched the amazingly successful Apple App-Store for their mobile platform the iPhone. A billion downloads later… yeah… Google – Yeah, it was only a matter of time before we started seeing App Stores pop-up from everyone. Jack took a look at the Google Chrome Web Store back in December and it has been growing like crazy since so we thought we would dig a little deeper and show ya how-to spice up your Chrome install a bit AND, this time around were going to kick things off with a groovyVideo!...

With Daniel Craig set to return for what will almost certainly be his final movie in the James Bond franchise, we’re taking a look back at what (probably) happened in the pitch meeting for his first James Bond movie: Casino Royale. Directed by Martin Campbell and released in 2006, Casino Royale was based on the very first novel written by Bond author Ian Fleming, and effectively rebooted the franchise (which had gotten somewhat silly) with a new, grittier feel....

Engadget Japan has shown a purported schematic of the iPhone 6S which it attributes to a reliable source in the Chinese supply chain. While the diagram does not appear to have originated from Apple, the design and marked dimensions are consistent with casing photos we obtained from a proven source. We noted that any change in thickness was imperceptible, and the thickness marked on the schematic is 7.1mm – just 0....

Following an earlier report today from the Korean newspaper DongA, CNBC now corroborates the partnership between Apple and Hyundai/Kia Motors. According to the new report, both companies are close to finalizing a big deal that will lead to the manufacture of the long-rumored “Apple Car.” Last month, Hyundai Motor confirmed that the company was in talks with Apple, although it did not reveal the reasons behind it. At that time, rumors suggested that Kia Motors — which is owned by Hyundai — would help Apple manufacture the first Apple Car....

The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, an international coalition of 35 children’s and consumer groups, is calling on Instagram to stop its plans to create a version of the app for users under age 13. According to the New York Times, in a letter to Mark Zuckerberg, “the nonprofit groups warned that a children’s version of Instagram would not mitigate such problems” and “it could hook even younger users on endless routines of photo-scrolling and body-image shame....

The US Senate yesterday voted to retain net neutrality, over-turning the FCC’s repeal back in December. The move had been seen as a long-shot, partly because it required at least some Republican support, but that hurdle has been passed. Three Republican senators voted with Democrats: Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) … But the other reason for pessimism is the next step: a vote in the House....

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 could introduce Knuckles the Echidna, but which actor should voice the classic video game character? After a rough start with the studio’s initial Sonic character design, Sonic the Hedgehog won over fans with its humor and more game-accurate Sonic design. Since then, Sonic the Hedgehog had the most successful debut for a movie based on a video game. Sonic the Hedgehog’s post-credits scene introduces Tails, another anthropomorphic animal character Tails, into the universe, looking for Sonic....

Who could play Namor the Sub-Mariner in Black Panther 2? Dating back to 1939, the King of Atlantis is one of Marvel’s oldest heroes, and quite possibly the most important Marvel character who has never appeared in live-action. The main reason why he has never been used in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie is that the rights to Namor have long been tied up with Universal Studios. While it may be that Marvel still can’t use the character in a solo film, it’s possible that Namor is on his way to the MCU in the sequel to Black Panther, which will hit theaters in 2022....

When you spend as much time in front of the computer as we do, it’s nice to add a little variety to your system. One way to do this is by changing your Windows 7 Theme. A theme is a combination of photos, colors, and sounds combined to create rotating desktop backgrounds, screen savers, and a sound scheme. Some even include new desktop icons and mouse pointers. So, being that it’s Friday, let’s change the scenery up a bit by applying some new free Windows 7 themes....

Former contestant on The Bachelorette Chase McNary regrets his time on MTV reality shows Ex on the Beach and The Challenge. Although McNary was a favorite among Bachelor Nation during his prime, he took a long step out of the spotlight before reappearing on the latest season of Bachelor in Paradise. In the interim, he took a short and apparently unfortunate detour through the two MTV installments. McNary first appeared on JoJo Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette....

The WSJ reports that authorities in China are investigating claims that two of Apple’s suppliers – Foxconn and UniMicron – are releasing water polluted by heavy metals into local rivers. The reports follow recent allegations about working conditions at another Apple supplier, Pegatron. China does not have the best reputation when it comes to pollution, with lax regulation poorly enforced, but the specific allegations here appear rather vague. Apple says that it does not tolerate environmental violations and carries out regular audits of its suppliers....

Sam and Robby share one of the most turbulent relationships in the Cobra Kai saga. As the rather privileged daughter of Daniel LaRusso, Sam was brought up to appreciate her father’s teachings, passed down by the venerable Mr. Miyagi. By contrast, Robby essentially grew up without his father Johnny Lawrence in the picture. As such, the two are polar opposites from a life experience perspective. Yet, they came together when Robby abandoned his bad-boy ways and sought guidance and mentorship from Daniel....

After a years-long effort to bring Marvel’s Gambit to the big screen proved fruitless, Channing Tatum will finally enter the world of comic book adaptations with Sam Kieth’s The Maxx. The cult classic comic last graced television screens in the mid-’90s and has been conspicuously absent among an ever-expanding slate of superhero cinema in recent years. First published by Image Comics in 1993, The Maxx follows the adventures of a box-dwelling, homeless man who, upon entering a second/alternate reality known as the Outback, takes on the body and persona of the titular character - a powerful, purple-clad hero....

In this chapter, we look at remote access challenges faced by today’s competitive organizations. Further, we explore new ways to deploy access controls for traditional remote connectivity methods like IPSec and SSL VPNs. Challenges As we saw in Chapter 6, employees (supported by the business) are increasingly demanding use of smartphones and tablets. Use of their own devices is fine with management when budgets can then target bigger revenue generation projects....

Like a lot of big films these days, Charlie’s Angels has multiple end-credits scenes, and they are stuffed with fun cameos. Starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska, Charlie’s Angels serves as both a reboot and a semi-continuation of the iconic franchise that began with the 1976 television show. Years later, the show got the big-screen treatment with two films in the early 2000s starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu....

Who is The Cheetah - the long-time Wonder Woman enemy primed to be the chief villain of the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984? Despite being Wonder Woman’s most famous enemy from the comics in popular culture, the origins of this classic character are considerably less well-known than those of many Batman or Superman foes. This may be due to three women fighting Diana of Themyscira using the Cheetah name and her backstory and powers being changed several times over the years....

Apple initially unveiled the AirPods, Apple’s truly-wireless earbuds, alongside the iPhone 7 in September with the intention to ship in late October. However, the company delayed the launch at the last minute citing it needing extra time to finish up the product. A new availability date was not given as part of Apple’s official statement, however a report from Economic Daily News (via Digitimes) is suggesting it will be a while, with suppliers not expecting AirPods to begin shipping until next year, in January 2017....
