Following the announcement of new iPad models this week, Apple also introduced a new generation of Apple TV 4K with the A15 Bionic chip and HDR10+ support. In addition, the company also revealed a new Siri interface coming with tvOS 16.1 for all supported Apple TV models. Read on as we show you what the new interface looks like. Siri on Apple TV was introduced with the now discontinued 2015 HD model, the first to run tvOS....
The Apple Watch Series 7 may not have been the dramatic redesign that many people were hoping for, but the good news is that Apple has another new Apple Watch set for release in 2022. The so-called Apple Watch Series 8 is likely to be announced sometime in September 2022. Head below as we round up everything we know so far. Apple Watch Series 8 rumors The Apple Watch Series 7 was a modest update over the Series 6, bringing a larger display with new 41mm and 45mm form factors....
Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Harley Quinn, season 1, episode 13, “The Final Joke.” The ending of Harley Quinn’s season 1 finale left many questions unanswered, even as it saw Harley accomplish all of her dreams. True, Gotham City was largely destroyed in the process, but you can’t make an omelette without destroying several city blocks. At least not if you’re Harley Quinn. The first original animated series produced for the DC Universe streaming service, Harley Quinn centered upon the misadventures of everyone’s favorite former supervillain sidekick as Harley broke-up with The Joker (for real this time) and set out to form her own gang and earn a place in the Legion of Doom....
The Harry Potter universe features deep backstories for many of the main characters. Throughout the series, we learn a lot about Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Snape to name a few. One pivotal character who is still kind of shrouded in mystery is Remus Lupin. Lupin makes his first appearance in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. He is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and we learn that he’s a werewolf, as well as a childhood friend of Harry’s father....
Anyone who is even remotely familiar with the Harry Potter book and film franchise probably knew that Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were going to end up together at the end of the series. And it’s hard to argue that they’re not a fantastic match for one another. They complement each other in a lot of ways, contrast each other in a lot of ways, and they ultimately seem to share a sincere, deep love....
When it comes to fusing two completely separate fictional universes, it’s hard to imagine a better match up than the worlds of Harry Potter and Dungeons & Dragons. It’s easy to picture the lovable characters of the Harry Potter ‘verse existing within the Dungeons & Dragons mythology, and we can only imagine how much ass the Harry Potter squad would be kicking if they were forced to confront the aforementioned dungeons and/or dragons....
What makes someone a Hufflepuff from Harry Potter? Hufflepuff, along with Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin make up the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It falls to the Sorting Hat to decide which House an incoming student belongs in. The official Hufflepuff House colors are yellow and black. Their mascot is a badger and their House is said to correspond with the element of earth. Hufflepuff was founded by Helga Hufflepuff, a Welsh witch....
David K. Harbour is asking reporters to stop pestering former Hellboy star Ron Perlman about the Hellboy reboot. Perlman defined the role of Big Red with his longtime collaborator Guillermo del Toro in 2004’s Hellboy, and the director and star reteamed for the film’s sequel Hellboy: The Golden Army in 2008. While Perlman and del Toro’s working relationship has endured over the years – beginning with del Toro’s feature film debut Cronos in 1993, and more recently teaming up for 2013’s Pacific Rim – a third Hellboy film was not meant to be, despite del Toro’s valiant efforts to make it happen....
Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen is currently eyeing a filming start date for later this Fall, and it’s been quite a wild ride for Hellboy fans over the past couple of weeks. After it looked like the character would not be seen again on the big screen for a long time - following Guillermo del Toro’s discouraging comments about Hellboy 3 - it was suddenly announced that the property was going to be rebooted with Stranger Things star, David Harbour, playing Hellboy this time around....

What’s new in iOS 14.5 beta 6? As we get closer and closer to the iOS 14.5 RC, Apple hasn’t stopped adding new and noteworthy features to what may be the final significant release in the iOS 14 lifecycle. Two new Siri American accent voices In iOS 14.5 beta 6, Siri receives a significant update — adding two brand-new American Siri voices — one male and one female — to the mix....
One of the more exciting things that users are looking forward to in iOS 12 is the new Shortcuts app. While it’s an invite-only beta via TestFlight, we’ve managed to get our hands on it, and this is what we think thus far… As it’s a beta right now, we’ll try not to go too in-depth as there’s a pretty good chance Apple will change the behavior of certain actions....
As Nintendo’s ultra-popular Wii demonstrated back in 2006, adding motion sensors to a remote control can be fun — and dangerous for your TV when you start swinging the controller around during gameplay. Since the fourth-generation Apple TV supports games and its new Siri Remote includes motion sensors, Apple came up with its own safety solution: the Remote Loop, not surprisingly sold separately as a $13 accessory. Our galleries below show what you can expect from the Remote Loop, including its packaging, the metal spikes it uses to grip the Siri Remote’s Lightning port, and the earlier Apple inspiration for its choice of fabrics…....
As we noted earlier, Apple has released iOS 10.3 beta 1 to developers. The update brings several new features to the table, including Find My AirPods for helping to keep track of Apple’s recently-released and highly popular AirPods. But that’s not all that’s new in iOS 10.3. In this hands-on video walkthrough, we’ll step through some of the other new additions. Whats’ new in 10.3 beta 1? Find My iPhone now supports AirPods....

Wizarding Schools are an essential part of wizarding life. Once young wizards and witches come of age, they must attend whichever regional Wizarding School they are nearest too. Whether it’s Hogwarts, Ilvermorny, or Durmstrang, each has its own defined histories, traditions, and secrets. One of the foundational wizarding academies in Harry Potter is Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. This school, located in France, has deep roots in the European Wizarding society, but they have just as many secrets as their academic peers....
Harry, Ron, and Hermione are the ultimate golden trio, and their friendship is truly admirable. Yet when you take Harry out of the picture, Ron and Hermione often struggle to make a solid friendship work. As we know, this is due to the fact that their deep feelings for one another got in the way of the two being able to maintain a platonic connection. When you fall for your best friend, tons of problems can arise, especially if you can’t even admit to them (or yourself) that you’re crazy about them....
Every Harry Potter fan can probably list each Hogwarts house and the ideal qualities of that house off the top of their heads. Gryffindor values bravery and boldness. Ravenclaw values wit and wisdom. Hufflepuff values loyalty and hard work. And Slytherin values ambition and cunning. And there’s nothing wrong with ambition and cunning on their own, however, it’s easy to see how the values of Slytherin might come naturally to some not so morally upstanding or kind people....
The eponymous Pinhead is a supernatural horror movie monster far removed from his peers - a group that would normally include slasher-killers like Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees. His lowly beginnings from a disenfranchised human World War I vet to his eventual ascension as a High Priest of Hell are well known to fans, but there are a lot of story elements about the character that have remained shrouded in relative mystery over the years....
