Landing AirPods Pro 2 for Christmas might become a whole lot harder soon. That’s because Apple appears to have lost one of its two suppliers responsible for AirPods Pro 2 over a possible production issue. Reliably supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo highlights a notice from AirPods Pro 2 supplier Goertek received by a “major overseas client” with instructions “to suspend the assembly production for a smart acoustic product.” Kuo believes that product to be AirPods Pro 2....

An AirTag stalker has been handed a prison sentence and subjected to a restraining order after he was found to have planted the tracking device in his former girlfriend’s car. Not being the brightest of criminals, the stalker revealed his knowledge of the victim’s whereabouts by sending her a text message … Background It wasn’t long after AirTags launched that we started to see stories about stalkers and thieves misusing the devices....

In the MCU, Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter didn’t always get their due. While they had a lot of moments together in The First Avenger, tragedy tore them apart when Steve had to put the Tesseract into the ice. While they end up with what might be considered a happy ending, albeit a controversial one, in Endgame, these two don’t get enough screen time together. Even so, it’s clear they have a lot of love and respect for each other, and they are a canon MCU ship that many people can get behind....

Thanos has dominated the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a number of years now. The formidable purple-faced villain, most recently seen in Avengers: End Game, has also been the focus of many cosplay costumes during that time. Thanos has several different looks, which vary from movie to movie. His comic book counterpart also has his own unique style. This list explores several different interpretations of everyone’s favorite finger snapper; from gender-bending creations to some unique interpretations and mashups....

Well, friends, it’s finally here (almost). In April, the final season of Game Of Thrones will commence, and I personally couldn’t be more excited. I had hoped to find out the ending of the series through the books rather than the show, but since The Winds Of Winter is still a distant dream, let alone the final book, I’ll take what I can get. I’m just excited to know what finally happens!...

The word “reboot” is dreaded among fans. How many times have we seen a planned reimagining of a property turn out topsy-turvy and for the worse? Still, over time, it’s inevitable. After all, no version of a character is ever definitive, so it’s highly likely that the restart button will be hit eventually. Marvel has done this several times already. As we approach the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it’s probable that many characters will be waving goodbye to the audience....

From the start, Masters of the Universedrew comparisons to Robert E. Howard’s violent medieval epic Conan the Barbarian. Adapting that for children is supposedly not what Mattel set out to do, but the toy line was similar enough to fuel a lawsuit from Conan’s rights holders — a battle the House of He-Man would eventually win. Children of the 1980s understand how exciting it was to buy a He-Man action figure....

Ending a television series after four seasons is “bittersweet,” according to 12 Monkeys star Aaron Stanford. The actor is just a week away from seeing his SYFY show reach its time-hopping conclusion as the four-week final season marathon marches toward the finish line. But while it’s always nice to be a part of a series that gets to tell a complete story from start to finish, Stanford says that there are other emotions that come along with it, and some of them might even creep into the actors’ performances....

Ace pilot and military man James Rupert “Rhodey” Rhodes has been a popular and reliable presence in both the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and the Iron Man comic books. As Tony Stark’s best friend and personal pilot, it would be easy to dismiss him as a second fiddle character, but Rhodey has become an integral part of Stark’s life as well as a strong character and hero on his own merits, becoming the awesome War Machine....

During his near fifty-year acting career, Sylvester Stallone has portrayed several iconic film characters. Two of them, however, stand far above the rest. The first, Rocky Balboa, is easily the most famous fictional boxer ever. In fact, he’s likely more well known than almost every real-life boxer, outside of the The Greatest, of course – the late Muhammad Ali. Rocky Balboa has been so influential to the sport of boxing that Sylvester Stallone was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame....

Science fiction has always been synonymous with big-budget filmmaking. George Méliès brought audiences the very first fantastical space-faring film in 1902 with A Trip to the Moon for a staggering 10,000 french francs. Although that’s only a paltry sum of around $33,000 in today’s dollars, it was an unheard-of expense for filmmaking at the time. Movies have come a long way since 1902, but in Hollywood, sci-fi is still nearly synonymous with big budget....

When it comes to preparing a TV program for broadcast, the most highly scrutinized are the shows intended for kids. You can mentally scar as many adults as you want, but if you do it to a child then you can expect lawsuits to follow. It is because of this that kids shows face stricter content guidelines than any other kind of TV program. Things like realistic violence, realistic guns, cigarettes, alcohol consumption, and sexual acts will be cut out straight away....

No doubt you’re aware of the name Kardashian. They are Hollywood royalty, and every one of them is swimming in notoriety. Their show Keeping up with the Kardashians is easily the most popular reality television show on the E! channel. Or at least, it was. Recently, a new challenger has been giving the popular family a run for their money, and it’s not someone you’d expect. Enter Tyler Henry, a young 20 something with a winning smile and big personality....

Science fiction television existed even before most people had televisions– the BBC ran a televised version of a sci-fi stage play called R.U.R. all the way back in 1938, which is generally considered to be the first time sci-fi was ever broadcast anywhere on TV. In America, sci-fi made its television debut in 1949 via the futuristic adventure series Captain Video and His Video Rangers, which ran through 1955. That said, it was during the 1960s that sci-fi television really came into its own, from Star Trek to Doctor Who to The Twilight Zone....

It is not unusual for production companies to adapt a show from another country. If the show was successful, or had a short run but gained cult-like status, it qualifies for some form of adaptation. Across the pond in Great Britain, there are a number of successful shows that many people don’t have the opportunity of experiencing. Fans wonder why a spinoff or adaptation is needed for a show that has already made its mark or triggered a generation....

Avengers: Infinity War is here. It’s been ten years and seventeen movies in the making, but it’s finally here. Thanos has arrived for a movie event that Marvel Studios has promised will change the universe forever. There’s simply no telling what’s in store for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and the Guardians of the Galaxy, or who will be left standing after the mad Titan unleashes the power of the Infinity Gauntlet....

Benjamin and Zac mourn the loss of the (multiple) products Apple discontinued this week. Plus, there’s some funny rumors circling around the new look for the iPhone 14 notch, updates to Fitness+ and ‘serious talks’ about Apple acquiring some MLB broadcasting rights.

It takes a special kind of actor to pull off what Bill Murray is doing in A Very Murray Christmas. The Netflix special, directed by Murray’s Lost in Translation director Sofia Coppola, requires a precise level of genuine disingenuousness (or is it disingenuous genuineness?) that is a rare thing for any performer to wield in a way that isn’t off-putting, let alone makes him one of the most well-liked actors of his or any other generation....
