On just forty episodes, Gravity Falls has proven itself as an animated series that pushes the norm on Disney Channel in terms of storytelling, thought-shaping and world-building. With its array of memorable characters, its episode is laden with intrigue about the supernatural secrets of the titular town, leading up to an Armageddon-centered finale. With that, here are the ten best episodes of the show, according to their IMDb rating. While opinions vary from each viewer, their commonality is their supernatural stakes....

GT Advanced announced this afternoon that it has reached an amended settlement agreement with Apple related to the sapphire crystal glass manufacturer’s recent bankruptcy filing, in which both parties have agreed to waive the condition that GT Advanced’s declaration on October 8th remain under seal and expunged. Meanwhile, GT Advanced has filed a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that provides further details about the recent fallout between Apple and GT Advanced....

Those looking for a different type of superhero movie, away from the films of either the Marvel Cinematic Universe or DC Extended Universe, can find solace in the fact that an international Russian film studio is hoping to launch a very unique superhero franchise of their own. Guardians is the launch pad for that franchise, with Armenian filmmaker Sarik Andreasyan directing this story about a team of Soviet Union-era superheroes that were previously forced to keep their identities a secret....

At this point, it’s a bit hard to remember that prior to the release of Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy, many wondered whether it might be the MCU entry that finally broke the franchise’s ongoing streak of massive success at the box office. After all, the titular heroes were far from household names, and two of them were a talking racoon and a sentient tree. Of course, that was far from the case, with Guardians earning a massive $773 million worldwide on a budget of only $170 million....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is set to premiere in May 2017, continuing the adventures of unlikely hero Peter “Star-Lord” Quill (Chris Pratt) and his fellow Guardians, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), and Groot (Vin Diesel). Writer/director James Gunn returns with the new adventure that will “unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true parentage.” With filming currently underway, Gunn and the cast have been dropping a few hints and photos to build buzz for the sequel....

Guillermo del Toro may be an Academy Award-winning filmmaker, but, like everyone else, he’s also a fan of movies, and now he’s revealed which films were his favorite in 2018. It’s part of an annual tradition for a growing number of filmmakers — Quentin Tarantino, Edgar Wright, and John Waters among them — to offer their take on the “best of” or their “favorite” movies of the year. For many, these lists have become something to look forward to in the quiet days between Christmas and New Year’s that will either affirm a reader’s choices in films they saw and enjoyed over the past year, or serve as a reason for them to doubt the cinematic tastes of a famous person....

Popular camera app Halide today is releasing an update that will add exclusive and unique features to the forthcoming iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. The update also packs some great updates to existing iPhones and iPads as well. The first major new feature is the ability to read out the technical specifications of the iPhone’s camera. Apple typically hides this information from the user, especially on iOS and within the Photos app....

Rockstar Games announced today that it’s bringing Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the ninth game in the series originally in 2005, to iOS users. You’ll find the full game packed into the iOS version for iPhone and iPad, which Rockstar notes in its press release was “originally designed with mobile gameplay in mind” for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). But you’ll also find some new features including some that take advantage of the iPhone and iPad’s touch display, iOS specific features like 3D Touch, and the larger iPad Pro:...

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdnp_7atZ0M&start=1500] In a ‘fireside chat’ with leading venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin discuss everything from the moment they nearly sold the company to why they are cautious about moving into health technology. One interesting angle for Apple fans was how the two contrasted their approach to that of Apple. Brin, who runs Google X, said that the experimental wing of the company was about making a number of bets and hoping that some of them paid off....

This will happen on April 30 (basically in a month + a few days), and, as interesting an idea it seemed at first, I can’t say that I’ll miss it. It could have been a really useful collaborative tool, but it never caught on so it’s going into internet limbo. It’s already read-only, so you can’t create any new waves. Still, you can (until April 30) export your existing Waves to PDF or HTML....

Gotham has finally come to an end, but it’s left a lasting legacy over the DC TV world. It’s been a surprise hit and ran for so long due to its ever-increasing fan base. The prequel series created something brand new for the Batman world and it really worked. We got to see a number of characters during their earliest days in the DC city. Each of them had a perfectly designed costume to match their alter ego....

Out of the original cast of Grey’s Anatomy, it was Richard Webber who had already had a life’s worth of experiences among the cast. Being the chief of surgery had meant he had started out in a position of authority, and all the subsequent times he’s had since have led him to become one of the most mature characters on the show. Due to this maturity, we’ve had a number of words of wisdom that Richard has laid out on the characters, and by extension the audience....

Former NSA hacker Patrick Wardle found a security breach in Microsoft Office for Mac that can lead hackers to take control of the entire Mac. Wardle was able to gain access to the computer with just a simple Office document containing malicious codes. As reported by Vice, the breach is based on the “macro” feature, which allows users to automate some tasks in Microsoft Office apps with custom commands and instructions....

As if Michael Myers wasn’t brutal enough, Halloween 2018 may see the seasonal slasher take All Hallow’s Eve one step too far and make a Jack-o-Lantern out of one unfortunate victim. Though barely hinted at in the trailer, NECA’s brand new Myers figure suggests this may be the case. Set 40 years after John Carpenter’s 1978 seminal horror classic, this year’s Halloween revisits Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) as she awaits the return of Michael Myers - the masked killer who nearly took her life four decades prior....

With no included method of attaching AirTags to a keychain, cases are a necessity for most AirTag users. Apple has their own first-party accessories for AirTags, starting at $29, and we’ve done a breakdown of the best AirTag keychains, but many have been creating custom AirTag keychains using 3D printers to fit their own needs. With 3D printers like the Ender 3 breaking below the $200 price point, they have seen far more use in the home....

Even though Final Cut Pro X curiously doesn’t support external GPUs yet, DaVinci Resolve is another popular NLE that already works with eGPUs on macOS. In fact, the $299 Studio edition supports multiple GPUs, which can have a noticeable effect on both timeline and render/export performance. I’ve been super impressed with the relentlessness that Blackmagic Design, the creators behind DaVinci Resolve, has displayed while iterating on its hardware and software products....

The UK’s Supreme Court has thrown out a Google Safari workaround class action lawsuit in which iPhone owners could have received as much as £500 ($675) each. The case alleged that Google breached the privacy of iPhone owners by secretly installing web cookies even after users had blocked them in Safari’s settings … Background Google uses tracking cookies to serve personalized ads to users based on their browsing habits. Safari lets iPhone owners choose whether to accept or block these ads....

Last Friday despite problems and concerns, the Chinese government in Beijing granted Google a renewal for its Internet content provider license. China is currently the world’s largest single market of Internet users due to its overwhelming population. Without the license Google would be no longer able to operate in China, so it’s a pretty big deal. The most recent conflict was over Google’s decision to cease censoring search results – as per the Chinese government’s demands....
