Josh Brolin has teased Thanos’ quest to find the Infinity Stones in Avengers: Infinity War on Instagram. While the actual film-to-film connections between the Marvel Cinematic Universe have (for the most part) been looser than some other shared-continuity experiments, typically coming in the form of guest-appearance cameos, references or after-the-fact tie-ins; one element has been in play since the earliest days of Phase 1 - albeit not revealed as such (via retcon) until after the fact: The Infinity Stones, a set of power objects originating as ancient cosmic ingots said to possess unfathomable powers....

Along Florida’s southern shores, a cool coastal pavilion punctures the tropical humidity. Customers today celebrated the grand reopening of Apple Aventura just outside of Miami. An all-new location and all-new design are just part of the story behind what is undoubtedly the most noteworthy — and the most chill — Apple Store in the Southeastern United States. Playful waves of sculpted white concrete rhythmically draw your eye across the skyline of Apple Aventura, tapering to a sharp peak at both ends....

The feature, added to the latest version of the company’s iOS app, uses the Siri integration for payment apps Apple introduced with iOS 10.

The big drama that dominated the start of Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor was former The Bachelorette Hannah Brown’s emotional return, but one Bachelor alum doesn’t think it was her decision. In a recent interview, Melissa Rycroft posited that while Brown’s emotions were real, her appearance was largely driven by producers. Former Bachelor Nation leads and popular contestants returning to the show to facilitate a date is a common occurrence, but Brown’s appearance on Weber’s premiere episode quickly went off the rails....

Our friend, Guilherme Schasiepen, took our description of the new MacBook Pros and (using a bunch of creative liberties) mocked them up. One of his wishful features are keys made entirely of glass, the same trackpad, and the availability of colors in white and black. The sloped shell also counters what we heard about the Pros, and we have not heard if there will even be a 13-inch version. While perhaps not as pretty, our original mockups are more accurate....

I’ve been a happy Bose QC35 Noise cancelling headphone user since the day they came out. These were the first “consumer priced” ANC headset combos and have since been matched by excellent products from Sony and Apple’s Beats brand. But Active Noise Cancellation has always come at a price. In the case of the QC35s and Sony’s, prices start at $350 retail unless you find deals. Pros: Sound and noise cancelling as good as the big guys Light weight, comfortable, doesn’t fall off during workout $99 on Kickstarter, $150 after Cons:...

Bachelor in Paradise’s Kristina Schulman got revenge on Blake Horstmann by keeping him around in Mexico to watch Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour’s relationship flourish. Her plan may have already backfired, however. Hortsmann has become the “villain” on this season of Bachelor in Paradise - a reality competition show that puts former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants in a beach resort in Mexico to find love. So far this season, he’s hooked up with multiple contestants, including Godwin and Tayshia Adams, and prior to the show, he’d been with Shulman and Caelynn Miller-Keyes....

The Big Bang Theory appeals to the geek in all of us, but all good things must come to an end sometime. It can be hard to leave the quirky, lovable characters from a favorite show behind, but don’t worry, you don’t have to shock your system by switching genres and moving onto Game of Thrones if you don’t want to. If it’s the slightly nerdy angle that you love, there are plenty of geeky sitcoms out there to enjoy....

Being able to remotely control your computer or laptop right from your phone is a really handy thing. You might be familiar with how server computers are usually controlled remotely by another rig set up in a different location. What if we told you there’s a way to do exactly that, but using your Android or iOS device instead. Remote access apps aren’t new to the space of computers and mobile phones....

In the game of Pokémon Go, the players can catch Normal Forme Deoxys by knocking them down in the five-star raid matches. These five-star raid battles consist of the rotating legendary Pokémon.

When you come across one during the raid and manage to knock them down, it is known that you would want the best of them to be yours when fighting the five-star raids....

Bachelor in Paradise’s Blake Horstmann is at the eye of the drama storm again after he made out with Hannah Godwin in front of her love interest Dylan Barbour. If it wasn’t obvious enough to the contestants of Bachelor in Paradise that Blake couldn’t be trusted, he has really proved it this time. This isn’t the first love triangle that Blake has been apart of. In fact, he ended up in a love pentagram with most of the Bachelor in Paradise cast....

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) has confirmed earlier reports that Apple Pay would launch in China this week, social media posts stating that its service will go live on Thursday 18 February. A further 18 lenders are signed up to the service, Reuters reporting that two of them – China Guangfa Bank Co and China Construction Bank Corp – will launch on the same day as ICBC. Apple has been working on bringing its mobile payment service to China for some time, creating a Shanghai-based company to manage the rollout back in September of last year, with this month long rumored to be the target launch date....

A new report from AllThingsD citied a study from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners that gives a breakdown of iPhone percentages sold through each retailer, including Apple and the carriers. The survey targeted iPhone buyers over a three-month period from December 2011 to February 2012 and found approximately 76 percent of iPhones were sold through brick-and-mortar stores. The other 24 percent of iPhones were purchased online. Those numbers obviously shift with a high number of preorders during product launches....

2019 was a good year for excellent movie trailers. With the growing importance of social media and prominence of the internet, movie studios have placed a much greater emphasis on the production of their marketing campaigns, providing audiences with epic pre-glances of their upcoming projects. Of course, in some cases, those “glances” are much more than glances, shedding far more light than is necessary. At their best, however, movie trailers act as capsules, incorporating the tone and atmosphere of the upcoming production with irresistible glamor....
