Hawkeye gets his own Avengers: Infinity War character poster in the vein of the recently released official hero posters thanks to digital artist BossLogic. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes gear up for their most dangerous and important mission yet - to make sure that intergalactic villain Thanos doesn’t get his hands on the six mystical Infinity Stones. But while they’ve gotten new teammates, the Avengers seem to have forgotten one of their longtime allies - Clint Barton, making him the butt of online jokes for quite some time now....

Wouldn’t it be great to have a smart speaker in your kitchen that could spew insults in Gordon Ramsay’s voice as you cook? The famous chef and TV personality hosts a variety of cooking shows with different themes, but regardless of which one, you can expect to hear him utter some of the most hilarious insults. But no show will you hear the worst of them more so than Hell’s Kitchen, where ambitious cooks are thrown into a restaurant kitchen to duke it out with one another on teams as they try to recreate signature Ramsay dishes, from beef wellington to scallops, and risotto....

The final lineup of games for the Sega Genesis Mini has been revealed and it has more games than originally promised, as the system will ship with 42 pre-loaded games. The Sega Genesis Mini is Sega’s answer to Nintendo’s popular line of Mini retro consoles, with the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo systems taking the market by the storm. Sega decided to wait and not rush a retro console out of the door, unlike Sony and the PlayStation Classic, which faltered in the market due to its lack of features and poor selection of games....

Lets talk about Aereo—the service that streams over-the-air local TV to any Mac, iOS device, or PC running Safari for $12 per month. The decidedly McGyver tech behind this venture relies on fingertip-sized TV antennas in data centers that allow servers to live-stream channels with high-definition reception through a speedy Internet connection. Aereo also works with Apple TV via iTunes’ AirPlay and a source iOS device, and Roku-lovers can use the Aereo channel through set-top boxes....

As we reported earlier, Apple has just released watchOS 4.1 beta 1 to developers, which brings the promised LTE music streaming to the Series 3 Apple Watch with LTE. WatchOS 4.1 contains three notable features: First and foremost, the updated Music app allows access to your entire iCloud Music Library. This means that you’ll no longer have to sync songs in order to play them directly on your Apple Watch. It also means that you can use Siri to directly request playback of any song from Apple’s vast collection of 40 million tracks....

Hannibal season 2 episode 5 “Mukōzuke” found the title character in a rare moment of vulnerability when he’s ambushed by a killer. Hannibal Lecter made his debut in Thomas Harris’ 1981 novel Red Dragon, which was first adapted into a movie with Manhunter. This 1986 Michael Mann thriller featured Brian Cox as Lecter, the highly cultured and intelligent psychiatrist who is also a vicious killer and cannibal. Manhunter underperformed at the time, and it wasn’t until Anthony Hopkins inherited the role for the 1991 adaptation of Harris’ The Silence Of The Lambs that Hannibal became an icon....

Being a Dark Lord in the Wizarding World in the Harry Potter franchise is not as simple as doing the most evil stuff possible. There’s a 50/50 chance of getting your rear served to you on a platter by an adolescent boy and taking over a school is a lot more difficult than taking over the world. However, Voldemort just had to do it and has tried for seven years straight to no avail....

As beloved as the Harry Potter franchise and its many Hogwarts teachers are in our hearts, J.K. Rowling is an astute writer who knows better than to write flawless characters who never grow or change. None of her characters are perfect, even the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore himself. In fact, he may be the most flawed professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That’s a good thing, since perfect characters would be boring, but some of Rowling’s writing makes us wonder exactly what she thinks makes for a good teacher....

Update: HBO today extended the deprecation date another two weeks, so HBO Now will keep working until May 15th and HBO Go will continue for a few more months. The HBO Now app is ending support for the third-generation Apple TV on May 15 (originally scheduled for April 30). HBO Go will be discontinued at a later date. The apps will no longer work when that time comes; a banner is now visible in the HBO app on the older Apple TV boxes explaining the impending removal....

Apple and Google announced a collaboration to release a COVID-19 contact tracing API at the end of last week. It will enable health departments around the country to release apps to track and contain the pandemic but there are still privacy and security concerns even though Apple and Google have described how the approach will work anonymously via Bluetooth as well as questions about how it will all roll out to users....

Update: The film is now available on iTunes for $6 to rent and $15 to own. After much controversy, Sony Pictures released the Seth Rogen comedy The Interview on Google Play and YouTube earlier today. If you’re looking to brave the wrath of North Korea and watch the movie for yourself, there are a number of ways you can do so on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Of course, you can also watch on your Mac by heading over to YouTube, Google Play, or Sony’s own dedicated site....

After going hands-on with iPadOS 13, my biggest takeaway is how much better multitasking on iPad has come to be. There will always be room for improvement, but the multitasking capability of iPadOS 13 is far ahead of what was found in iOS 12. With all of the new multitasking improvements, having access to App Exposé assists greatly in keeping tabs on all of the open app windows in iPad OS 13....

Harry Potter accurately and unknowingly predicted the three Triwizard Tournament tasks before he was even chosen as a competitor. The Harry Potter series confirmed that some wizards and witches had psychic abilities through Divination, but it was never stated whether or not the titular character had a fortune-telling ability. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire seemed to have hinted that Harry might have been a Seer. During Harry’s third year at Hogwarts, he joined Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger by taking Divination....

Now, the Bachelorette star has given fans more details about how she felt that night with Parker. Fans will see if this is the final straw for Brown, after giving him multiple second chances.

Throughout the Harry Potter film franchise, audiences are shown the wizarding world’s government arrangement, also known as the Ministry of Magic. From the Sorcerer’s Stone to the Deathly Hallows, the Ministry of Magic is rarely shown in a positive light. They are generally perceived as egocentric, power-hungry leaders who use propaganda for their own agenda. We catch an initial glimpse of Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when Harry accidentally blows up his Aunt Marge....

While Ron and Hermione might be one of the main couples from the Harry Potter series, there are many people that don’t think they would have worked well together. Some fans find their relationship cute, others feel like they wouldn’t have worked out together in the end. In fact, even J.K. Rowling herself has mentioned that the couple doesn’t make a lot of sense in hindsight. While Ron and Hermione have some things about them that make them a good couple, they also have some toxic traits in their relationship....

Daniel Radcliffe has created an interesting and impressive filmography for himself over the past few years, choosing to star in unique independent films like Swiss Army Man or The Woman in Black rather than the large tentpole projects some fans might have thought. No matter what the actor does next, though, Radcliffe will always be most well-known for and most commonly associated with his iconic role as the titular Boy Who Lived in the Harry Potter film franchise....
