Apple’s three new HomePod mini colors officially went on-sale today at Apple stores and we’ve got our hands on all of them. The new HomePod minis are priced at the same $99 and are now available both for delivery and in-store pick up at Apple retail stores. First off, the packaging for the new HomePod minis is exquisite. I can’t remember Apple ever shipping products in yellow, orange, or blue boxes....

Hannibal Lecter has been brought to the screen more than once, and both Anthony Hopkins’ and Mads Mikkelsen’s portrayals have been adored by fans and loved by critics. While the Hannibal movies (mainly Silence of the Lambs) were the thrilling original interpretations of the novels by Thomas Harris, Bryan Fuller’s TV show Hannibal also brought the story to life in new and exciting ways. We’ve put together a list comparing the two interpretations to see which versions are better in different areas....

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is without question the biggest selling playscript. Picking up twenty-years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows left off, the story follows the strained relationship between Harry Potter and his middle child Albus Severus (who fans unanimously agree is one of the worst named characters since Renesmee). Despite its monetary success, Cursed Child has earned a mixed reception from fans, some of which choose to ignore its existence altogether....

A reboot of the 1968 CBS series of the same name, Hawaii Five-0, follows a police task force on the titular island, led by Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and Danny Williams (Scott Caan). Lost veteran Daniel Dae Kim and Battlestar Galactica star Grace Park were series regulars for the first seven seasons but left the show after the network refused to pay them salaries equal to O’Loughlin and Caan....

USB-C first debuted in Macs last year with the 12-inch Retina MacBook, and this fall even more Macs are expected to adopt the new standard port. While the MacBook is a lightweight machine (both physically and in terms of workload), MacBook Pro uses will expect wider functionality without adapters if USB-C replaces ports available on current hardware. Add HDMI to the list of ports USB-C can now easily replace. The group behind the HDMI standard today shared that it’s now possible to connect HDMI and USB-C directly....

These people jump into Facebook groups. They slide into your Instagram dm’s and will do anything they can to track you down. They try and convince you that with their magic system or ‘completely safe methods’ they can get you hundreds and thousands of Instagram followers for free (or for a little bit of cash). Using their services to get Instagram followers for free is has the potential to be dangerous, and can even lead to your Instagram account being temporarily disabled or worse – shut down forever....

Apple Watch preorders are approaching quickly, but will it be difficult to get your hands on one? Also, it looks like the upcoming Apple TV may lack an important future-proofing feature.

When Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was announced, the majority of the fandom had a hard time coming to terms with Hermione being played by a different actress. Having seen Emma Watson play the character for ten years, fans were all too convinced Emma might have been Hermione all along. As fans have read the books hundreds of times, they are intimately familiar with the habits and traits of the characters, with Hermione being one of the most well-known due to her distinctive qualities....

In Harry Potter, the Hogwarts houses separate children based on their personalities and abilities. While three of the Hogwarts houses are associated with good traits overall, Slytherin is one that gets a bad reputation and is associated with bad wizards and witches. This isn’t entirely fair though as many people sorted into this house are not bad, and they also have many good traits. There are also many characters from Harry Potter who show cowardly traits, regardless of the house they are sorted into and some of the evil wizards to come out of Slytherin are the most cowardly of all....

When Dobby the House-elf first appeared in the Harry Potter franchise, he was a mischief-maker, messing up the Dursley’s kitchen, making Harry Potter’s life hard , and almost getting the Boy Wizard kicked out of Hogwarts. However, Harry and fans of the J.K. Rowling franchise soon learned that Dobby was doing all of this for a noble reason. Dobby was someone who gave Harry a lot of trouble, but he also became one of young Potter’s closest friends and allies....

As if things weren’t already enough of a mess with the various incompatibilities involved in the supposed USB-C standard, HDMI is about to get more complicated too … Background HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a standard for transmitting video signals from one device to another. It’s a very flexible protocol that can cope with raw video data, as well as both compressed and uncompressed digital data. It’s also backward-compatible with the DVI standard that preceded it....

Alexander Ludwig (Vikings) is set to star alongside Stephen Amell in the upcoming wrestling drama Heels. Similarly to Amell, with Arrow filming its final season, Heels will mark the first television project for Ludwig after his role on a long-running hit. Heels was announced in August. Far from the spectacle of WWE, or even the occasional glamour of GLOW, the show is set to focus on the struggles of independent wrestlers with dreams of making it big....

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was critically-acclaimed upon release for its portrayal of mental health in games, and there was a collective cheer when February’s Nintendo Direct announced that Ninja Theory’s beloved title was coming to the Switch.

Henry Cavill has shared a sneak peek at his Justice League costume in the wake of Superman’s 79th anniversary. The iconic superhero was created by comic book legends Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the early ’30s, and he made his debut in Action Comics #1 in May 1938, though the cover was dated for the month of June. Since then, the character has appeared in numerous comic books, television shows, video games, and of course, movies – and it looks like it’s only going to get bigger from here on out....
