What could happen to Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul that would ensure she’s never even mentioned in Breaking Bad? Vince Gilligan’s landmark TV series is packed with fascinating supporting characters, but perhaps none more so than Saul Goodman, the crooked lawyer hired by Walt as an accomplice in his meth empire. Saul’s wise-cracking ways and Bob Odenkirk’s performance endeared the character to viewers and spawned a spinoff venture in the form of Better Call Saul....

Beverly Hills, 90210 still ranks as one of the most popular TV series of all time. The wildly popular 90s teen drama remained on air from 1990 to 2000, piling up 292 episodes over that span. The show was nominated for four Golden Globes during its run and won both Kids’ and People’s Choice Awards. It seems everybody loved 90210! But for all the lovable main characters, the show only works due to the balance of unlikeable side characters that add to the drama....

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) debuted with the second-highest Rotten Tomatoes score in the DCEU. In its earliest days, the franchise was far from a critical darling. Though the likes of Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Suicide Squad were all commercially successful, they were largely panned by critics and proved to be divisive. Of course, the DCEU reached its absolute nadir back in 2017 when Justice League became an unmitigated disaster, bombing at the box office amidst its negative reviews....

There aren’t many superhero costumes that are as iconic and memorable as Black Canary’s get-up. Her costume is sleek and sexy, as she sports her trademark fishnets, leotard, and a leather jacket. However, in the 80s, Dinah Laurel Lance was given a new look and it was without a doubt one of the worst costumes in comics. Black Canary first debuted in Flash Comics #86 and has been a key player in DC Comics history ever since....

PCs, mobile phones, speakers, earphones, TVs, keyboards, mice, controllers, fitness trackers, watches — all these devices and peripherals use this standard for communicating with each other. And with the rising popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT) and more smart devices, Bluetooth looks to be in for the long haul. Why does it still exist? For such a popular and crucial communications standard, Bluetooth is surprisingly full of flaws, both from the perspective of user experience and device security....

It’s certainly different, a 3.5kg metal pillar just over half a meter tall. The bottom is hollow, home for a bass speaker and a bright white LED light. Meanwhile the grilled top 10cm or so hides the mid- and high-range speakers, with around 200W of output power. Available in Space Grey or Gold, it’s a match for your iOS devices, and looks good in most rooms. Connecting to a Bluetooth source is quick and easy: you hold down the power button until the Solo switches into pairing mode....

Earier this year Bose and Apple had a bit of a falling out when the former decided to block NFL players from wearing Beats headphones while on camera, then fined players who violated the rule. Beats Electronics co-founder Jimmy Iovine said at the time that the ban actually served Beats by providing a bit of free publicity. Apple apparently didn’t agree, and retaliated by pulling all Bose products from its store shelves in October....

The new trailer for Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 7 goes full 1980s in a tribute to the buddy cop genre. Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, the comedy follows a team of detectives and police officers as they go about their daily lives. In its early years, the series would often zero in on the contrast between Captain Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher) and the lackadaisical Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg). The show has grown in ambition, while continuing to stay true to the elements that has made it successful....

A patent granted to Apple today for a Light Field camera – a camera with zero shutter delay and where the focus point can be changed after taking the photo – covers the precise technology Steve Jobs told biographer Walter Isaacson he wanted to use to “reinvent photography.” Jobs met with Lytro CEO Ren Ng in the summer of 2011, was shown a demo of the company’s Light Field camera and said that that he wanted the company to work with Apple … The patent refers to a “refocusable imaging mode adaptor,” and the abstract perfectly describes a Light Field camera:...

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....

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....
