The full trailer for season 2 of HBO’s Emmy-winning Barry offers up more of what made the first season so great, and it throws in some interesting variables, too. The series has become a welcome addition to HBO’s lineup of half-hour comedies, not only adding to the premium cabler’s already impressive array of trophies, but also showing that though Veep and Silicon Valley were close to finishing out their respective runs, the network already has a show that can fill the void....

Beats is out with a new variant of its popular Powerbeats headphones today in an all-new glow-in-the-dark design. The new Powerbeats were designed in collaboration with the lifestyle brand AMBUSH, making this release the first official collaboration between AMBUSH and Beats, and the first glow-in-the-dark Beats product. In terms of features and functionality, these are the same Powerbeats that users have grown to love. They feature a wireless design with a connector cable between each earbud....

According to a report today from Billboard, Apple does not have the deals in place to launch its long-awaited Beats Music revamp as its new streaming music service. The report quotes a source as saying “June won’t be the release date. The deals aren’t done,” but our sources say that an announcement at the June 8th WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) keynote is still planned. A few weeks following the announcement, in late June, Apple will fully release the service as part of two new software products: iOS 8....

On the first night of Bachelor In Paradise, Blake Horstmann thrust himself right into the vortex of relationship drama, and Kristina Schulman planned to take advantage by tricking him with her date. She entered the show aware that she wasn’t the only woman Horstmann had his eyes on, and intended to make him pay for his indecisiveness. When Horstmann starred on Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette, he was an instant fan favorite, capturing the hearts of Kufrin and Bachelor Nation with his kindness and vulnerability....

With last week’s launch of macOS 10.13.4, Apple officially rolled out external GPU support as it promised at WWDC. As we noted last week, Apple has released updated documentation highlighting the details of eGPU implementation. It also provided updated documentation to better help developers with targeting external GPUs in their applications. On this week’s episode of Back to the Mac, we discuss eGPU support in macOS 10.13.4, including some of the finer details about external vs internal display support, GPU monitoring, and more....

Now the service is available with a new Apple TV app to more easily enjoy the intimate content on the big screen. Bandsintown was originally designed as an easy way to discover artists playing nearby, get tickets, follow bands, and more.

Warning: SPOILERS for Batman Beyond #35 When Bruce Wayne grows too old to suit up, he must recruit a successor–and Batman Beyond is born. But what happens when that Batman goes bad, and joins forces with a villainous speedster? Simple: Bruce calls in some help from the future version of The Flash. Or should we say… Flash Beyond? The historians among the Batman Beyond fan base will be quick to point out that an inheritor of the Flash mantle has existed in Neo-Gotham’s world before....

Warning: SPOILERS for Batman: Arkham Knight The villain who calls himself the Arkham Knight may have started as a video game villain, but he’s officially made the leap to comics. Which is bad news for Batman, who is not ready for this battle. Those DC fans who played their way through the Batman: Arkham video game trilogy don’t need to be told why the Arkham Knight became a memorable villain. Introduced as a twisted, lethal reflection of Batman–with all of his training, tactics, and even knowledge of his personal life–the masked madman soon took over the game’s marketing....

Five years before landing the role of Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead, Norman Reedus played a man on the hunt for an evil film in Cigarette Burns. While it wasn’t until he picked up the crossbow to become arguably the most popular character on The Walking Dead that Reedus became a household name, he’s actually been acting in Hollywood since the late 1990s. His most well-known role prior to Daryl Dixon was Murphy MacManus in The Boondock Saints, although he also appeared in films like Blade 2 and Pandorum....

There’s a good reason why the heroes’ new matching red and white suits are prominently featured in Avengers: Endgame marketing, Kevin Feige says. It’s another milestone year for the MCU, coming off an extremely successful 2018 where the franchise celebrated its 10th anniversary with hits like Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War. This year, after rolling out their first female led project with Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel (which is already a billion dollar earner), the MCU is set to wrap up the 22-film arc it’s been exploring since 2008’s Iron Man....

Another image from the set of The Batman has leaked online, this time of a murder victim. On top of director Matt Reeves’ tease of the batsuit in a test video, a plethora of set images and videos have made their way online. Some are of the full suit (minus the cape), batcycle, and Bruce Wayne getting attack by a Gotham gang. The newest reboot will take a look at the early days of Batman’s vigilante career in Gotham, a city inhabited by a slew of iconic villains....

Warning: SPOILERS for Batman #88 There’s a new creative team in Gotham, launching Batman into a new web of criminal killers and masterminds. But after the first issues set the stage for Batman’s new mission in Gotham, the biggest threat has just been killed in DC’s official preview for Batman #88. At least, that’s what Catwoman and Batman are being led to believe. As much as James Tynion IV’s debut issue helped set the tone for his coming run – featuring new Bat-gadgets, and a life without Alfred Pennyworth – it also dialed the mystery and ominous foreboding to its limits....

Disney not only broke multiple box office records in 2016, the studio and its affiliates released multiple critical darlings over the course of the year; among them, the original animated films Zootopia and Moana as well as the live-action retelling of Disney’s 1967 animated feature film, The Jungle Book. The Mouse House aims to get 2017 started on the right foot too, by making its first major theatrical release another Disney animated classic-turned live-action movie, in the form of Beauty and the Beast....

A cyber range is a virtualized and controlled environment that organizations can use to simulate situations that security professionals would see on the job. Cyber ranges can also be used for cyber training and software testing thanks to the ability to utilize high-fidelity simulators and network emulation. While an organization can host their own cyber range on their own infrastructure, management of the various software, hardware and network components can be difficult and time-intensive, especially when attempting to replicate forensics, hacking, incident response, mobile device and threat-hunting scenarios....

Apple’s HomeKit home automation feature can be super convenient when you have the right accessories in place, but finding compatible hardware isn’t always the easiest. That finally started to change last year with the introduction of lots of new HomeKit-enabled smart home products. That trend appears to be continuing based on new HomeKit accessories we saw at CES 2017 last week. HomeKit works best in my experience when you have lots of accessories like bulbs, plugs, thermostats and locks, and there is plenty of new hardware on the rise....

Contestant on The Bachelor, Sydney Hightower is setting the record straight regarding her history with racism and bullying. When Hightower opened up about her past on a recent episode, former high school classmates accused her of making it all up for the cameras. In order to defend herself, Hightower got real about what she faced in her youth. On a recent episode of The Bachelor, Hightower confided in Peter Weber about the racism and bullying she faced when she was growing up....

Beats audio products are premium offerings that are owned by Apple now. Apple controls every Beats product now, and even though Apple has its own set of audio products directly, they maintain some beats products for the brand enthusiasts. Yes, the hype around beats had died out significantly compared to what it was back when it was launched. But as a luxury product, many still prefer the beats earphones and headphones as their primary audio accessories....

Jed Wyatt from The Bachelorette recently gushed about his new girlfriend Ellen Decker. Fans might remember Wyatt as the musician who won Hannah Brown’s heart in the finale while maintaining a relationship with another woman during his involvement on the show. Wyatt’s selfishness during season 15 will live in infamy among the Bachelor Nation faithful. He continued to pursue Brown knowing that he had unfinished business with a woman he had been seeing prior to his arrival on the show....

The new Jurassic World short film, Battle at Big Rock, is only just over eight minutes long, but it’s actually a better entry into the franchise than either of its full-length predecessors. Directed by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World: Battle at Big Rock has been released online, and stars Andre Holland and Natalie Martinez as a couple who are enjoying what’s supposed to be a nice family camping trip at Big Rock National Park....

As of its latest episode, Batwoman is caught up to the events of last year’s Arrowverse crossover Elseworlds. So far in its debut season, Batwoman has used its first couple of episodes to set up Kate Kane’s (Ruby Rose) origin story of becoming Gotham City’s new protector. In the first four episodes, the story primarily follows Kate discovering her cousin Bruce Wayne’s secret life as the famous Dark Knight. With the famous detective missing for more than three years, it left Gotham vulnerable for crime to rise once again....
