Rocky Balboa is one of the toughest fighters in the history of cinema. The heavyweight pugilist has experienced his fair share of crushing defeats and triumphant wins since bowing in 1976. He’s fought his best friend, two scary wrestlers, a steroidal Russian national, his street-fighting mentee, a dude named Spider, and many more. Of course, some of Rocky’s most trying battles have come outside the ring with the loss of loved ones....

If your kids are like my kids, they are stir crazy, ready to go back to school, and generally tired of being at home. Over the years, I’ve collected some of my favorite apps and podcasts that my kids have grown to love. So, I wanted to compile a list to help other parents in the same boat. Kid focused podcasts During our commutes to school, we had grown to love listening to kid-focused podcasts that told great stories....

If you aren’t quite ready to buy a somewhat-outdated $930 Thunderbolt display, your Thunderbolt MacBook docking station options are pretty thin. Or, they were pretty thin. Matrox began shipping its $249 DS1 Thunderbolt Docking stations today that were announced way back in June and were originally scheduled for September. Not only did the shipping date get pushed back a few months, but also the design changed somewhat. Originally, there were three USB ports on the back....

Twelve South is best-known for its BookBook cases for MacBooks and iPhones, but subsequently expanded into a wide range of stylish accessories for Apple kit – they have products for MacBooks, iMac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and more. Its latest product, launched earlier this month, is a Bluetooth transmitter designed to let you use AirPods or other wireless headphones with in-flight entertainment systems or other equipment with a 3.5mm headphone socket: AirFly …...

The secret to understanding USB battery pricing is that you tend to get what you pay for: cheap batteries lose their charges faster and can bulge and leak over time. Other companies specialize in selling atypically nice batteries that last longer and work better. Just Mobile is a leader in quality batteries: for the past six years, its Gum series (shown below) has spanned every Apple device type, size, and speed, but it has never built a Lightning cable into a battery before....

The Rise of Skywalker is now just over a month away, with Star Wars fans’ excitement levels building as a result. October’s action-packed trailer, the third released by Disney ahead of the blockbuster, has set pulses rating and the company seems confident enough that the movie can repair the saga following the divisive entry that was The Last Jedi. As to be expected, Rey has featured prominently in all three trailers so far....

Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck from Joker and Robert Pattinson’s soon-to-debut Bruce Wayne in The Batman meet in a brand new fan-made poster. Todd Phillips’ DC film from last year was both a box office and critical success albeit initial skepticism. The standalone movie gave the Clown Prince of Crime a definitive big screen origin story. While there’s no word yet on whether or not fans will see him again, there are some who are holding out hope that somehow, he’ll encounter his arch-nemesis, the Caped Crusader....

It is a similar game as its name sounds, but instead of being a standard turret and guns game, developers did a really cool job to give it an anime-based character game look. It’s a perfect crossover of anime in Roblox for various platforms like Android, PC, iOS devices, and Xbox. In this game, some featured anime characters like Naruto, DBZ, My Hero Academia, One Piece, and many more fight like a team to defeat the waves of enemies....

Ron Johnson, Apple’s former vice president of retail and the creator of the Apple Store, left for J.C. Penney November 1 and already he is picking industry veterans to join his leadership team at the Plano, Texas-headquartered department store chain. The Wall Street Journal reports that Johnson is tapping former Apple talent, including former chief financial office of Apple Retail Michael Kramer and Apple’s chief talent officer Daniel Walker. Interestingly, it was Walker who helped Steve Jobs hire Ron Johnson to head Apple’s retail efforts....

Dropcam has been around since 2009, but only truly became a player in the app-enabled home security space early last year with the release of the Dropcam HD Wi-Fi video monitoring system. It separated itself from the normal cast of IP video cameras by offering an insanely easy setup process, beautiful software, and effortless mobile device integration (iOS/Android). These wireless cameras have become so popular that Dropcam is now processing more video than YouTube on a daily basis....

While we wait for the so-called real MacBook Pro to arrive, we wanted to take some time to explore the entry level 13-inch model that’s already available in stores. Despite its lack of Apple’s flagship Touch Bar and Touch ID features, there’s a whole lot that’s changed with the Late 2016 MacBook Pro refresh. Have a look at our hands-on video walkthrough as we step you through many of the changes and features, and tell you who might be wise to consider this machine....

RHA designs and engineers their audio products in Britain and prides themselves on honing in on the small details of a product and making them great. Prior to testing their headphones, I had never heard of RHA (they’re a division of Reid Heath Ltd.), but the fact that Apple retail carries their products coupled with their sharp industrial design made me want to check them out. As quick as Apple can give me new set of headphones with each iDevice, I somehow find a way to misplace, break, or water (OK, sweat) damage them....

First, I’ll say that the solar panels make the footprint about 25% bigger than a standard full Apple keyboard. That can be a hassle if you are cramped for space at your desk. On the other hand, the keyboard feels a bit more solid, perhaps because of the increased size and weight. Keystrokes are very similar feel to Apple’s standard keyboards and spacing and layout are all but identical. Logitech adds a power switch and battery tester at the top right....

With the recent release of new hardware, I’ve been in search of a better Apple Watch charging and storage solution. There’s no shortage of watch-compatible docks, but the Amber Watchcase Power Bank by ClearGrass is far and away one of my favorites. Have a look at our hands-on video walkthrough to see why this might be the best Apple Watch charging and storage solution yet. For starters, the Amber Watchcase Power Bank brings the following handy features to the table:...

Meet Apple’s largest Netflix display ever: iPad Pro. I’ve been using it for a little while now and have gathered some thoughts regarding its functionality, uses, and even the accessories like Apple Pencil and the new Smart Keyboard. Is it all worth the hype? Let’s go ahead and find out… I detailed the iPad Pro in our unboxing video recently, so we’re not getting too in-depth with specifications. First off, this is an iPad....

[slideshow] Just seeing Epson’s MegaPlex iOS device projector at tradeshows and in still pictures doesn’t do it justice. Set up in a small, awkward booth and surrounded by bright lights, the projector does not inspire a second look. It was not until I got a private screening at Macworld that I really saw what this thing could do. The MegaPlex MG-850HD is an incredibly bright 2800 lumen 720P projector with some mighty 10-watt stereo speakers built-in, but it adds something that you would not find in many other high-end consumer projectors: a 30-pin iOS device dock....

According to Bloomberg‘s Adam Satariano, Richard Williamson has joined Facebook. We’ve independently heard the same. Williamson is a former iOS executive from Apple who was reportedly terminated over Apple Maps. Williamson ran Apple’s iOS 6 Maps team and also worked on Siri features. Facebook’s hire of Williamson is notable as the social network reportedly has hired several former Apple engineers to work on various projects, including the Facebook Home software and various other mobile applications....

League of Legends’ newest champion, Sylas, has now been disabled globally across all regions in competitive play because of some game-breaking bugs that were encountered recently. This was announced by the LEC’s operations lead on Twitter. At this stage, it’s uncertain how long the Sylas global disable is going to last. There have been a number of issues with Sylas in pro play. The most publicized instance was last week’s LPL Spring game between Bilibili Gaming and SinoDragon, where there had to be a remake because SinoDragon’s top-laner realized that Sylas’ ult wasn’t actually able to steal his opponent’s....

The Rock Jaw Alfa Genus V2 headphones ($49.90) are not especially meant as a replacement for EarPods, but that’s how I see them. Apple’s bundled EarPods have a lot of positives. They are ‘cheap’, lightweight and small. You can chuck them in a bag or pocket without worrying too much. This is in stark contrast to Beats on-ear and over-ear headphones, for example, which are expensive, bulky and heavy. However, EarPods leave much to be desired in regard to sound quality....

Rogue Legacy 2, released back in the 2020s has been a successful adventure game until now. With multiple puzzles, quests, enemies, and more, it certainly gets more interesting as you dig deeper into the game. Further introducing the characters, you will find quite a number of characters to begin with in Rogue Legacy 2. Each character comes with slightly different mechanics which makes them somehow unique as well. Above all, Rogue Legacy 2 introduces each character with different types of abilities....
