Many people enjoy watching it every year around the holiday season, and it’s full of hilarious scenes that make it hard to forget. There is no shortage of laughs in the first two Home Alone movies. However, while some of the moments are truly hilarious, there are also some that are more on the dumb or cringe side of things....

How I Met Your Mother was all about Ted Mosby’s search for love. Actually, it was technically about an older Ted telling his kids the story of how he met their mother, so he’d already completed that search in the framing narrative. But to stretch that framing narrative out to nine seasons, despite how frustrated his kids got at how long he was taking to tell the story, creating something of a plot hole, the writers gave him a few bad relationships before finding the right one....

While Beats Music will soon be owned by Apple, the music service does not easily integrate with iTunes. For instance, there is no official Beats tool to link your iTunes library for streaming from Beats Music. However, an unofficial tool called Beats Importer is a temporary solution that seems to work well for adding iTunes and Rdio Playlists to your Beats Music library. We’ve compiled a tutorial for importing your iTunes Playlists to Beats Music, below:...

Apple made both of these methods to block websites by utilizing the Screen Time settings menu....

HBO launched its new streaming service HBO Max last month, which offers content not only from the HBO channel but also from the entire WarnerMedia group. However, the company is now making some changes to its current product line-up to avoid confusion with new HBO Max. Previously HBO offered two apps: HBO Go and HBO Now. While HBO Go was focused on users who had HBO included as part of a streaming or cable TV package, HBO Now allowed anyone to subscribe to HBO as a standalone service....

It’s definitely beginning to look as if a Season 2 of Watchmen on HBO won’t be happening. The show, which was created by Damon Lindelof, completed its nine-episode first season back in December of 2019 and was met with widespread critical and audience acclaim. Although the Watchmen TV show offered a number of changes from the original Watchmen comic, both new and old fans seemed to appreciate the version Lindelof was trying to create....

Just thinking about Hellboy attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is anxiety-inducing for any educator. You think the Weasley twins and Harry Potter stirred up enough shenanigans? At least they didn’t blast down any of the castle walls or shoot any of the dragons at the Triwizard Tournament with Big Baby. Still, there’s something incredibly fun about imagining HB, Liz Sherman, Abe Sapien and the rest of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense all attending Hogwarts together, maybe as part of their defensive training or maybe to learn a bit of magic, which should come in handy up against Anubis, Baba Yaga and Hitler himself....

Japanese blog Macotakara claims that Apple is planning better-than-CD quality audio for iTunes at some point in 2016. By way of comparison, CDs offer 44kHz/16-bit. The sources cited appear to be manufacturers making Lightning-based headphones, which would support the hi-res format. It should be noted, however, that Apple has been sourcing at least some of its music at 96kHz/24-bit for many years … According to several insiders familiar with Apple, whose products are exhibited at Portable Audio Festival, Apple has been developing hi-res audio streaming up to 96kHz/24-bit in 2016....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Hobbs & Shaw. Hobbs & Shaw makes a clear reference to Jason Statham’s The Italian Job, which might make the movie canon in the Fast & Furious franchise. Hobbs & Shaw is the ninth Fast & Furious movie and is a spinoff from the main series story. The movie stars Statham as Deckard Shaw and Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs. Hobbs & Shaw follows the titular duo (now just working as a two-man team away from the rest of the Fast & Furious crew) as they try to prevent a cyber-genetically enhanced criminal named Brixton (Idris Elba) from recovering a stolen virus which could harm all of humanity....

What is Sidechain Compression? Sidechain compression is a pretty simple concept, but it can really save your mix when you don’t want two elements to collide. The most basic example, again, goes back to the kick and the bass, but you can use sidechain compression for any two elements once you learn how it’s done. Let’s get started. First, open up your song. For the purpose of my tutorial, I am going to hide all tracks other than the kick and the bass....

June 28th, 2005 might go down as one of the biggest days in the history of media. It was the day Apple announced they were taking podcasting mainstream by including support for Podcasts in iTunes 4.9 and with syncing to the iPod. As rumors continue to swirl of iTunes being dismantled on macOS (in favor of dedicated apps), I thought it might be fun to take a look back at this important decision....

That said, employers need to take proactive measures to preserve this mindset and create internal processes that enable leaders to tap into enthusiasm while understanding how these attitudes might evolve alongside company growth and career progression. If companies reach these phases of growth and aren’t prepared to sustain them, it’s likely that existing processes will break down—hence the importance of creating a plan ahead of time with a strategy in mind for how it scales alongside company growth....

The idea of a next-generation iPhone shaped like a teardrop dates back to a report published by This is my next in late-April, describing a 3.7-inch iPhone with edge-to-edge glass and striking new design shape akin to the late-2010 MacBook Air, meaning thicker to thinner from top to bottom. Piggy-backing on the story, agile Asian vendors followed up with teardrop-shaped cases. Or so we thought. While we will ‘talk iPhone’ next Tuesday, M....
