With the Rise of Skywalker’s release comes the conclusion of a cinematic adventure forty-two years in the making. Because it is a grand finale, the filmmakers tried to include as many references to the prior trilogies as possible. Many of these callbacks are apparent on the surface, but several flew over most viewers’ heads. The following list will detail ten of these which were easily missed by even avid fans of the series....

Apple advertises its iPod touch as an iPhone without a phone (and as discussed last night, they might actually merge them). For kids and teens (its primary audience), the iPod touch is an App Store machine that lets them play jaw-dropping games, listen to music, run social apps to share stuff online and what not. Despite these treats and really low $229 price point, the gizmo is seriously lacking in the connectivity department: It works only with wireless hotspots and does not connect to cellular networks....

An Apple patent published today suggests that the long-rumored fingerprint sensor for the iPhone 5S may be built into the phone’s screen, rather than the home button, as had been previously suggested (via CNET). A fingerprint sensor has been one of the two most persistent rumors for a distinguishing feature for the 5S, the other being NFC. A combination of the two as has been recently suggested – using a fingerprint to verify purchases as well as unlock the device – would certainly be a killer feature, though it’s worth noting that Apple isn’t generally an early adopter of new technologies like cardless payments....

I’m not normally one for hiding Apple’s gorgeous designs away inside cases, but my 11-inch MacBook Air is used almost exclusively when I’m out and about, so it does normally live in a TwelveSouth BookBook case to keep it safe on its travels. I adore that case, so persuading me to set it aside for an alternative would not be an easy task. But I was very taken with the leather iPhone and iPad cases I recently reviewed from NY-based Burkley, so I decided to give one of the company’s snap-on leather MacBook Air covers a try....

I’m always on the lookout for new USB-C-equipped MacBook accessories, especially external drives, because space is at such a premium on these diminutive machines. CalDigit’s Tuff line of 2.5-inch external USB-C portable drives fit the bill. Not only do these drives add a significant amount of space to your MacBook, but they’re bus-powered, meaning that you only need a single USB-C cable to enjoy its benefits. Speed CalDigit will ultimately produce two types of external drives in its rugged Tuff lineup....

I don’t generally like to hide away my iDevices inside cases, but there are some environments where this is at least strongly advisable – and the basket of a hot-air balloon is definitely one of those. In anything but still air, a landing tends to involve the basket being dragged across the ground – and much as you try to secure things, there’s always the risk of loose items taking a fall....

Product: The Twelve South HiRise, which was announced last week, is an aluminum stand and docking/charging station for Apple devices that include a Lightning dock connector. The HiRise supports the iPhone 5, fifth-generation iPod touch, seventh-generation iPod nano, and the iPad mini (the 4th-generation iPad is too large). Unlike the typical iOS Device dock, the HiRise, as the product name implies, raises your device a few inches high in the air....

After spending over four years separated, the Giudice family was finally reunited and all of the drama was featured on the recent special for The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Teresa is best known as the table-flipping diva of the New Jersey housewives....

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story co-writer Gary Whitta has revealed new details about the film’s cut Darth Vader scene. The first of Lucasfilm’s spinoff movies, Rogue One’s third act infamously underwent heavy reshoots in the summer of 2016, ahead of its release the following December. Writer Tony Gilroy was paid $5 million to oversee the reshoots, describing the film as being in “terrible, terrible trouble” prior to his involvement, Fortunately, things worked out in the end and Rogue One went on to become a critical success, grossing just north of $1 billion at the global box office....

Director Ron Howard and production partner Brian Grazer have penned a new, first-look deal with Apple to air its Imagine Documentaries films on the company’s upcoming video streaming service, reports Variety. Fittingly, the primary focus of the documentaries generally center around a musician’s story, with the production company’s most recent release, “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years”, winning the 2017 Grammy for Best Music Film. Though Imagine Documentaries was founded in 1986 by Grazer and Howard, the studio has only recently attempted a larger push to produce more content....

Wood has historically been a tricky material for Apple accessories: it can be challenging to precision-fit to Apple devices, and isn’t always a good visual match for metal and glass. But wood accessories are beginning to enjoy a renaissance thanks to the Apple Watch. Since nightstands are almost invariably made from wood, and Apple Watches need to be left on nightstands for overnight charging, matching wooden Apple Watch stands can blend in to an extent that plastic or metal stands cannot....

A few hours before the opening keynote at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference, we reported that Apple was set to unveil an all-new iPad. We did not get a product demo at the keynote. Fast-forward a few hours after the event, and the Polyurethane Case appeared on the Apple Store. As an alternative to the Smart Cover that unveiled with the iPad 2, which provides only screen protection, the Smart Case offers full back and front protection for $10 more than the $39 Smart Cover....

I love my drone, but I knew when I bought it that it was only going to be a matter of time before countries started clamping down on them. Sadly, that proved to be the case when I spent a few days in Iceland. Everywhere I went, there were No Drone signs. I carried it around with me, but didn’t get to use it even once. Fortunately, I did have another interesting gadget on me – one initially exclusive to the Apple Store: the Insta360 ONE camera....

Teresa Giudice admitted to telling Danielle Staub on RHONJ to pull Margaret Josephs’ hair during their boutique fight. The housewives were left confused as Teresa did not try to deny her part in the incident. Teresa was once known as the table flipping diva of the New Jersey housewives. The reality star rarely thought before she spoke and often came across as a bit dumb when interacting with her fellow cast members....

The official trailer for Richard Jewell has arrived. Despite being 89 years old, Clint Eastwood remains as busy as ever, and only just released his last movie, The Mule (which he both directed and starred in), this past December. He’s since gotten behind the camera again for another true story-based drama, this time in the form of Richard Jewell. Previously known as The Ballad of Richard Jewell, the upcoming film spent about five years stuck in development before Eastwood came aboard back in April....

New Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker images showcase characters and moments from the upcoming film, including the full sequel trilogy team working together. As difficult as it is to believe, the trio of Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron have yet to share the screen and embark on a mission as a group. Finn’s had his own individual adventures with his friends in the previous two installments, but The Rise of Skywalker is the first time the main three will be a team....
