Ring has announced a new external security camera designed to provide a neater and cheaper alternative to the Floodlight Camera it first announced back in January and launched later in the year. Along with more compact lighting, the Spotlight Cam is available in three versions depending on how you want it to be powered: wired, battery and solar … All three models have motion-activated cameras and lights, 1080p video, two-way talk and a siren alarm....

Rey (Daisy Ridley) debuts her very own lightsaber at the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, posing questions about how she’s able to build it and where she got the kyber crystal for it. There’s no explicit answer for this one, but the film may have left clues regarding the mysterious origin of her new weapon. As one of the main characters introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it became quickly apparent that there was a lot more to Rey than we were first told....

It’s no secret that Jughead Jones is one of the fans’ favorite characters on Riverdale. For four years, fans have watched as the writer has dedicated himself to discovering the truth about the town’s deepest and darkest secrets. However, while Jughead has been a beacon of hope for many, his Serpent lifestyle has also nearly dragged him down. When Jughead is with the Serpents, the high school student is not at his best....

Robert Marshall is an American film and theatre director, producer, and choreographer. His most notable work is the Academy Award-winning film Chicago (2002), for which he won the Directors Guild of America Award. A five-time Tony Award nominee, he also won a Primetime Emmy Award for his choreography in the television film Annie (1999).

Early reviews of Apple’s MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) have framed it as an expensive prototype from the future — a notebook that will someday be the standard, but one most people aren’t ready for yet. Despite that classification, the new MacBook is extremely tempting if you’re in the market for a new computer: it’s more portable than even the MacBook Air, it’s the first Mac available in gold and space gray finishes, and it has a trackpad with a new feature called Force Touch....

In a brand new behind the scenes video of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, proved that Teresa Giudice ordered Danielle Staub to pull Margaret Josephs’ ponytail. The hair-pull that was seen around the world caused Margaret Josephs to go to the hospital and she even claimed it made her suffer emotional distraught. Teresa has never been able to keep herself out of trouble since the star of season one, especially when Danielle Staub is concerned....

The Rise of Skywalker has divided opinion ever since its release, with Star Wars fans torn over whether or not it did a successful job at bringing the saga to a close. Inevitably, there’s also been plenty of rumors and much speculation on the internet about what went on behind the scenes, with plenty of people claiming to have inside information. We’re not saying everything you read on this list is true, but here are 10 rumors that have surfaced about the blockbuster since it hit theatres last month....

Diego Luna, star of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, has revealed that the upcoming Disney+ show starring his character Cassian Andor has actually been in the works for awhile. Rogue One is a standalone offshoot of the Star Wars Skywalker saga. Released in 2016, it focused on the characters who stole the plans for the Death Star and takes place prior to all three main trilogies. In addition to Luna, the movie starred Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso and Ben Mendelsohn as Orson Krennic....

If you want an Apple Watch stand, you can choose from three major materials: plastic, wood, or metal. The universally affordable plastic options tend to look a bit cheap when paired with the Apple Watch — particularly non-Sport models — while the pricey wood ones are somewhat polarizing, sparking a roughly equal mix of “love” and “hate” responses. From what I’ve gathered from readers, metal is the most popular Apple Watch stand option, with options starting at $20 and climbing sharply; most of the best metal stands are hovering around the $60 mark....

Kanex GoPower Watch is a handy portable battery pack that can charge your Apple Watch on-the-go without extra cables or adapters. That’s because it features an MFi (Apple certified) Apple Watch magnetic charger on the battery pack, which makes it an all-in-one solution. It’s rather pricey for a portable battery pack at $99, but it gets the job done if you want the most convenient way to power your Apple Watch over a weekend away from electricity....

The folks over at Monowear sent over one of its bands for me to try, and I shot a brief video showcasing the band in action. Monowear makes several band styles from leather, mesh, nylon and metal. The band it sent over is a brown leather band featuring a handy deployant clasp. The deployant clasp creates a perpetual look that makes the leather band super-easy to put on and take off....

I’m always up for reconsidering the “best accessory” in a given category when something new arrives, and after every year’s CES, the “best iPhone battery case” tends to change thanks to new arrivals. But even though many new options were shown at CES this month, none impressed us enough to take the crown away from Incipio’s $80 offGRID Express (review). uNu’s new DX-6 ($80 MSRP, street price $70) is the latest to arrive for testing, and despite the company’s strength with multi-device USB battery packs, its iPhone 6 battery case doesn’t stand out in any way except pricing....

Earlier this week we showcased a new MacBook Pro Touch Bar app called TouchSwitcher that allowed users to easily switch between running apps via shortcuts in the Touch Bar. Another recently launched app, called Rocket, employs a similar method for fast app switching, but features a few key differences. The main difference between Rocket and TouchSwitcher is that Rocket is a standalone menu bar app that’s invoked via a keyboard shortcut....

Random House Digital launched their first original game app today: Catch the Berry. In this physics-based puzzle game, mystical creatures called the Telfnords harvest and collect magical berries. The object of the game is to catch the berries and gems in the Telfnords’ basket using your knowledge of gravity, velocity, and acceleration. To catch berries, the user draws lines anywhere on the screen to impact the trajectory of the berry. The lines can be straight, curved, or even have gaps in between them....

Back in December I reviewed the Photofast iType-C thumb drive, the first MFi thumb drive we’ve seen that includes Lightning, USB-C, USB-A, and micro-USB in a single device. That makes transferring files between iPhone and iPad and your various other devices like computers, drones and cameras a lot easier. And a companion app for iOS lets you view media files directly from the drive for offline viewing and sharing, a useful feature especially for those without extra storage on their device....

There’s been one rather glaring omission in our smart home setup: a doorbell cam. That’s because I was waiting for three boxes to be ticked, and the Netatmo Smart Video Doorbell ticks all of them. First, HomeKit compatibility. For me, that’s pretty much non-negotiable when it comes to any smart home kit. The benefits of having everything controlled through one app, or by Siri, is compelling enough that I’d rather wait than have something which requires me to use a separate app …...

Risk of Rain has two titles, both of which are available to play on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and even Nintendo Switch. The game is about fighting off randomly spawning enemies and bosses on a mysterious planet. We get the option to play solo or in a group of three. The second title was a development of the first one, with the same storyline but different gameplay....

Having reviewed hundreds of different models over the years, I can say with some authority that iPad cases are rarely “exciting.” Early on, Apple established the folio — a lidded sleeve with the ability to stand upright for videos — as the de facto standard for iPad case design, and perhaps half of all the iPad cases since then have followed the same general theme, differing more in materials than functionality....

When I used to work an overnight shift at my old job, my coworkers and I had a habit of pulling out our phones and blasting music while we worked. I always thought it was a bit odd that my iPhone 5’s speaker was so much quieter than those of the low-end Android phones many of the other employees carried. It’s not something that happens often outside of that job, but sometimes I find that my phone is just too quiet....
