Disney will now decide The New Mutants’ fate, with the troubled film possibly heading for a streaming release. The Fox era of X-Men films is almost officially done. After over a year, Disney and Fox have closed the deal that will shakeup Hollywood and see all of Fox’s TV and film assets be brought under the Mouse House’s control. There are many implications of the deal, but the one area that has generated the most discussion is the expected reboot of the X-Men and Fantastic Four to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

Night Court was an NBC sitcom that aired from 1984 to 1992. The series followed young judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson), who was a bit unconventional in his methods, while on the night shift at a Manhattan court. You could always rely on the episodes to be funny and to feature some pretty wacky characters, but that’s what we loved about this 80s sitcom. It showed a different side of New York, and a different side of people, given the nighttime versus daytime aspect....

Nintendo UK has teamed up with Digital Schoolhouse in order to provide play-based learning games for schoolchildren in the United Kingdom. Digital Schoolhouse is a not-for-profit program created by the UK games industry trade body UKIE and supported by the country’s Department of Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) in order to help educate the next generations of pupils and teachers on advancing technologies within the Computing curriculum.

There will be no new episode of Supergirl this week - on Sunday, February 10. The popular CW series is currently on a two-week hiatus.

Apple Sport bands are $49 and offer a minimalist design with a solid soft fluoroelastomer material. A small round pin secures the band on your wrist. Nomad’s new Sport Band is priced at $59.95 and also uses a fluoroelastomer material. The Nomad Sport Band material is a bit thicker, has openings cut in the band for ventilation, and has concave sections in the band to support the flow of air and sweat so the Nomad option is better for those who work out with their Apple Watch....

The CW’s Nancy Drew has proven to be an entertaining adaptation of the popular source materials - but is undermined by its commitment to its more supernatural elements. Created by Edward Stratemeyer as a female counterpart to The Hardy Boys - and penned by various ghostwriters - the character debuted back in 1930. With a new Nancy Drew 90th anniversary story due out in April, the young detective’s popularity has endured to this day....

Sweetheart is a new creature feature from director J.D. Dillard and Blumhouse Productions, and was released on Netflix’s streaming platform on December 25, 2019. The movie boasts a rather spectacular, original creature that operates both on land and in the ocean. Part of what makes a sci-fi/horror film so good is the elements of science fiction, the creatures that are developed, and the way they are carried out. Many franchises have built steady followings based on their creatures alone, such as Tremors and Gremlins....

As pictured by Brian Tong, the new M1 iMac box includes two Apple stickers. The stickers are coloured in two shades, matching the saturated and more subdued tones of the iMac itself....

Apple debuted the 2021 iPad Pro lineup just over a year after the 2020 iPad Pro arrived. The new M1 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro bring a number of hardware updates and capabilities beyond the switch to the powerful Apple Silicon chip.

The Nike+ Run Club app for iOS has been updated today to version 5.20, bringing a few notable changes to both the iPhone app and Apple Watch app. With today’s update, Nike+ Run Club now integrates with Siri Suggestions, while there are also some new Apple Watch complications. With Siri Suggestions integration, Nike+ Run Club can now suggest times for you to run based on your running history. For instance, I generally run at 6AM three days per week, which means I might see the Nike+ Run Club app in the “Siri Suggestions” area of Spotlight on iOS around that time on those days....

The news of no National Dex in Pokemon Sword & Shield has been received poorly without much of a break in the discourse surrounding the idea as a negative one, but there are a few different reasons the decision from Game Freak is at least well-worth trying out for both fans of the franchise and the developer. Pokemon Sword & Shield marks the first big leap from the mainline games onto a console, and that shift in platform location is also the perfect opportunity to try something new....

You just have to scribble a letter to find what you’re looking for. The design looks similar to the Apple iPad mini, and the body is a one-piece design with Aluminum with surface anodization. Let’s have a look at the tech specs of the device, as these have been made public, as well:...

We’ve been hearing so much about the new iPhone 5 that it has all but drowned out any talk of the iPods, which are traditionally released at the September Apple event as well. There hasn’t been any definitive word, but I expect them to get an update as well before the holiday shopping season. The new iPod touch will likely head in the same direction as the iPhone 5 – faster A5 processor and better backside camera (hopfully 3MP w/ autofocus?...
