Back when Sony was looking to reboot a live-action version of Spider-Man after Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire’s run on the movie franchise, there was a lot of support from the fan community to have Miles Morales take the lead. That ultimately never happened with Andrew Garfield leading two films as Peter Parker, before the Parker character was rebooted again, now with Tom Holland playing him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe....
HTC One I was very happy to get the chance to play with HTC’s new flagship, even if for just a few minutes. And let me tell you, the company really got it right this time around. Apart from the great design, this thing is a beast spec-wise, too. It has a quad-core 1.7 GHz CPU, 2GB of DDR2 memory and a lot more, including Android Jelly Bean. Apart from that, it has a stunning 4....
Modern Family season 10 saw the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan deal with their first big death – here’s who died and how the family dealt with it. Now in its eleventh and final season, ABC’s Modern Family has given viewers over a decade of hijinks and laughs from its lovably dysfunctional characters. It’s not a show usually known for tackling serious issues, hence it took until Modern Family’s tenth season before it killed off a big character and explored the impact that death had on the family....

One of Apple’s key goals with HomeKit was to make smart home devices secure. The UK government has announced it wants to play its part in achieving the same thing by requiring all devices to meet three simple security requirements… The requirements are pretty basic. All consumer internet-connected device passwords must be unique and not resettable to any universal factory setting Manufacturers of consumer IoT devices must provide a public point of contact so anyone can report a vulnerability and it will be acted on in a timely manner Manufacturers of consumer IoT devices must explicitly state the minimum length of time for which the device will receive security updates at the point of sale, either in store or online The government is perhaps overselling the benefits....
Apple announced macOS Big Sur last month with a redesigned interface, including new icons for nearly all the system’s native apps. And if you don’t like to have new icons mixed with old ones, you can now replace them with a more appropriate version. Third-party apps are only expected to have their icons updated following the new guidelines later this year with the public release of macOS Big Sur, but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to wait months to get a more consistent experience with the icons....
The Apple TV has always been one of Apple’s more interesting products for schools and businesses. In 2010, the second generation model shrunk the size (compared to the original one) and added a new feature called AirPlay.

For some of these characters, the events of Endgame and the direction the story took made them better people, but for other characters, it felt like more of a backslide....
It’s not possible to analyze the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Captain America and not bring up the names of Peggy Carter and Bucky Barnes. Both of these characters were constant in Steve Rogers’ life, even when they weren’t physically present. He most definitely loved both Peggy and Bucky, with the latter considered to be in a romantic sense as well for many fans. While Peggy was his actual love interest, Steve’s love for Bucky was such that they can be considered each other’s true loves, even if it’s seen in a platonic context....
