Google began its Pixel 4 event this morning by announcing that its Google Stadia on-demand cloud gaming service will launch on Nov. 19. Google initially announced Stadia in 2019. What sets Stadia apart from current cloud gaming services, though, is its versatility: Stadia will work on a variety of platforms, including desktop PCs, laptops, TVs and smartphones. More importantly, Stadia isn’t a console, but a service, a data center that will stream games directly to users’ platforms of choice....

Some television shows require the urgency of a final season in order to realize their potential. As it begins its fifth and final season, then, Gotham proves it deserves a spot on that list. Never quite the Batman show fans seemed to think they wanted, and never quite the G.C.P.D. series that, with a Batman-and-Bruce-Wayne-less angle, would have made it far more interesting, Gotham spent the last four seasons trying to strike a three-way balance between its alternate universe lineup of the Dark Knight’s rogue’s gallery, the cops of the Gotham City Police Department, and a young Bruce Wayne finding his place in the world....

When Guardians of the Galaxy was released in 2014 it was regarded as Marvel’s biggest gamble yet - and it’s not hard to see why. Iron Man may not have had widespread name recognition in 2008, and before The Avengers the concept of bringing four separate franchises together in one movie was unheard of, but Guardians had obscure and utterly weird characters led by the guy from Parks & Recreation - with the two most recognizable actors playing a talking raccoon and a sentient tree....

The latest reports suggest that Valve could be working on a Half-Life prequel game instead of the long-awaited Half-Life 3. It’s been over a decade since the company released Half-Life 2: Episode Two, and since then, ideas of a Half-Life continuation have never amounted to anything. Valve’s popular first-person shooter series hit Windows PC in 1998 and focused on the character of Dr. Gordon Freeman as he fought to escape a research facility while fighting human and alien menaces....

After Lori Loughlin’s arrest as part of a college bribery scheme, the Hallmark Channel has fired her, and she probably won’t return to Fuller House. The more time a particular actor spends on the screen, the more fans can sometimes falsely feel like they somehow know the person. Yet, as has been proven many times over in recent years, just because an actor is known for playing likeable characters in movies or on TV, doesn’t mean those roles at all reflect that person’s real life exploits....

Kristen Bell will return as the omniscient narrator in the Gossip Girl reboot for streaming service HBO Max. Bell was the voice of the narrator for the original series, based off a series of young adult novels by author Cicely von Ziegesar. Never seen once, but always heard loud and clear, Bell took viewers for a drama filled ride as she took on the eponymous role of “Gossip Girl” who was the “one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite....

Everyone who has watched or followed FOX’s Gotham from the start knows that the showrunners have strayed a bit from the original plan - for most of the audience, strayed in a better direction, playing to the strengths of the cast and audience favorites. While the early buzz for the show emphasized the fact that Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) would be the star of the series, and the show wouldn’t be a Batman origin story at its core, the early performance of actor David Mazouz in the role of Bruce Wayne changed all that....

Grey’s Anatomy may be a medical drama (and a successful one at that, since the 16th season is currently airing), but fans are really watching for the love stories. And the greatest love story of all? That would be the relationship between Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey). After flirting at Joe’s in the pilot, the two start seeing one another, but not without a fair number of obstacles along the way....

Griffin today announced new products for its line of BreakSafe products with magnetic breakaway connectors that mimic the functionality of Apple’s legacy MagSafe technology. Among the new products is an updated BreakSafe Magnetic USB-C Breakaway Cable for the 2016 MacBook Pro, as well as a new USB-A adapter, a car charger, and a wall charger that all use the BreakSafe magnetic connectors. Griffin started selling an older version of the BreakSafe Magnetic USB-C Breakaway cable after Apple first released the 12-inch MacBook that used standardized USB-C instead of Apple’s proprietary magnetic MagSafe connectors....

James Gunn and the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 have collaborated with Baywatch legend David Hasselhoff to make a fun retro music video for original soundtrack song “Guardians Inferno.” One of the more notable elements that definitely contributed to the success of the two Guardians of the Galaxy films is their surreal commitment to nostalgic parts of pop culture from the 1980’s. Driven by the “Awesome Mixes” that Peter Quill/Star Lord made before his time in space, the soundtrack gives the two superhero films a rhythm and a tone that is incredibly unique to the rest of the genre....

Weak signal or lost signal issue becomes an obstacle to the most basic functions of a smartphone which is to make or receive calls and send or receive text messages. This causes a lot of trouble if you are not able to access a Wi-Fi network and you become void of placing any calls or messages.

Unless you have a no-button-like smartphone which is a thing nowadays although only a few smartphones have embraced this concept, you cannot a power button not working problem for long. Yes, you can try some methods to fix it in case if it is software related or check whether it is hardware-related. Developers have made it easier for users to use a phone without much use of a power button right from dedicated apps to built-in features and add-ons meant for various tasks, however, it can be used to virtually replace the use of a power button....
