Marvel Studios’ will wrap-up its 22-film arc spread throughout the last decade with the upcoming ensemble flick. Avengers: Infinity War’s direct sequel, Endgame will pick up after Thanos’ snap that wiped out half of population in the whole universe.

Though the difficulty may be a deterrent to some, Mechstermination Force’s terrific core mechanics make trying (and dying) worth the effort. Taking down a literal army of grunts or overcoming a particularly perilous platforming section is satisfying in any video game, but nothing quite compares with beating a boss. That’s why boss battles are often the most buzzed about part of any new game release that features these foes. They have massive health pools, instant-kill moves, and thermal-exhaust-port-sized weak spots....

Michael Keaton’s 1989 Batman suit is for sale. Given the storied history of DC’s Batman, it isn’t hard to think back on the wide variety of actors who have portrayed the legendary caped crusader on the big screen. This being said, there was a time when Batman fans had no such luxury. The debate as to who portrayed the best cinematic version of the Dark Knight is a relatively new one, with Warner Bros....

Microsoft’s open-source code editor, Visual Studio Code, has been updated this week with a great enhancement for M1 Mac users. The tool is now fully compatible with the Apple Silicon platform, which means that it now runs natively on Macs with the M1 chip. Version 1.54 of Visual Code Studio is the first stable release with support for Apple Silicon Macs. Developers no longer need to have Rosetta installed to run Microsoft’s VS Code on the new M1 Macs (and any other new Macs coming in the future with an ARM processor)....

There has been much debate about the audio quality of the HomePod. The majority of reviews have praised the speaker for its sound quality (if not for its smarts), but there have been some dissenting voices. Some audiophiles have been dismissive of HomePod – often, it seems, without having listened to it – but others have been impressed. And a new set of tests using professional-grade equipment found that the speaker fully lives up to the claims Apple makes for it …...

Last month I received an email from Motorola advertising the new Moto Watch 100 and for just $100 I figured I would order one to try out. I missed the news that eBuyNow is a company that licenses the Motorola branding and this watch comes from that company and is not a direct Motorola product. After 10 days of frustration, I’ve initiated a return since there are just too many issues despite the two firmware updates I’ve already installed....

Magnum P.I. is a confusing title for anyone who isn’t familiar with the world of crime and investigations. But the current CBS show, which is actually a reboot of an ’80s smash-hit show with a similar name, is quite straightforward. The investigative drama follows Thomas Magnum, a Ferrari driving former navy seal turned private investigator (yes, that’s what P.I.) means) as he solves cases in Hawaii. Because he tackles most of the major cases, Magnum always leaves us wondering if Hawaii needs a police department at all....

Mark Hamill shares a fan-made image of a Star Wars LEGO set that should be real. When the original movie came out in 1977, few could have predicted the phenomenon it’d become, meaning retailers were ill-prepared for the demand for Star Wars merchandise. But the days of Kenner’s infamous empty box campaign are in the very distant past. Now, not only is the unveiling of Star Wars tie-in products an unofficial holiday, everything from action figures to cases of bottled water have the franchise branding....

Microsoft is launching a new task management app for iPhone today called Planner. Previously available as a web app only, Planner works with eligible Office 365 accounts for organizing tasks visually and collaborating across teams.

If you love your new iPhone 6/Plus but find yourself missing the convenience of one-handed typing, One Handed Keyboard may be the third-party keyboard for you. It’s a system-wide keyboard exactly the same size as the one on the older and smaller iPhones so everything will feel familiar.
