Despite starting out as an immature troublemaker during the original run of Gilmore Girls, Jess Mariano’s (Milo Ventimiglia) maturity and growth in the Netflix revival Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life proves he may be too good for Rory (Alexis Bledel) after all. While she used to be a caring and mature bookworm during her high school days, Rory seems to have devolved into an egocentric person in the sequel to the television series, which takes place ten years after the events of Gilmore Girls....

It looks like the iPhone XS and XS Max review embargo is being lifted, and we’ve just seen one of the first unboxing videos on YouTube … Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD on Twitter) has just published his unboxing of the Gold iPhone XS Max. If you were trying to decide between the XS and XS Max, this video might help make your decision. The size of the XS Max will give you Apple’s largest iPhone display yet, but it’ll also make it more difficult to fit into pockets....

Last November, Google’s MVNO dropped the “Project” status and added support for many more phones. Google Fi is available on iPhones, but with limitations that require you to tweak some settings for MMS and no support for voicemail in the native Phone client. An update to the Google Fi app today adds visual voicemail to iOS. At launch, Google Fi subscribers could receive voicemail as text messages. This rudimentary method displayed transcripts in a standard conversation thread from your number....

Green Lantern is missing from every live-action Justice League team, from Smallville to the Arrowverse to the DCEU. One of the founding members of the League, Green Lantern (usually Hal Jordan) is one of the core superheroes of DC Comics - and also one of the most powerful thanks to his signature weapon, the Power Ring that can conjure anything the Lantern can imagine. And yet, the Emerald Gladiator has been continually left out of every live-action incarnation of the Justice League so far....

We’ve been getting hit by iOS 10 and macOS 10.12 since the middle of last year, mostly coming from Apple’s campus and the surrounding areas. Obviously, things have been ramping up lately and it’s interesting to see what the numbers are like a few hours ahead of when all developers get their hands on the new OSes and the data gets crazy… It’s also a good time to remind any brave but eager beta testers to make good backups of iOS and OS X devices before jumping into the inevitable buggy fun that iOS 10 and macOS 10....

Among the new features introduced with the sixth beta release of iOS 14.5, which is currently available to developers and public beta users, Apple has added two new voice options for Siri.

Lifestyle fixture company Moen launched its U by Moen Smart Shower back in 2017 as a push into the smart home space. While the shower system originally shipped with an iOS app to allow users to customize their shower experience and save presets, HomeKit support was absent. At CES 2019, Moen announced it will be updating the fixture with not only HomeKit support, but Alexa Routines as well. We took a hands-on look at how the integration will work when it launches....

What exactly is it like to live (and work) with Apple’s new 12-inch MacBook? We’ve been using it for the last week or so and have some initial impressions to share.

We also get into new Apple Watch availability details. The Happy Hour podcast is available for download on iTunes and through our dedicated RSS feed…...

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik might be back together after her recent split from Tyler Cameron. At the center of the speculation is a cryptic post straight from Hadid’s Instagram stories, as well as thinly veiled confirmation from Malik’s own mother. On December 29, Hadid posted, “Sunday in the kitchen about to marinate the chicken for one of my favorites!!! @mammamalik’s Chicken Curry Pasta Salad.” Without missing a beat, the former One Direction member’s mom, Trisha, posted a response video of Hadid being asked about her favorite restaurant....

Google this afternoon announced an update to its Search apps on both Android and iOS that includes voice search support for three addition languages. In a blog post, the company announced that the app can now understand French, German, and Japanese. In addition to being able understand the new languages and give text results, the Search app can also now give spoken answers back in those languages. Google says it will continue to work on adding even more languages to its Search app and that this is just the beginning of its efforts....

Grace and Frankie are one of the best BFF duos on TV. They are a shining example of women living their best lives despite their age and circumstances. The two independent women thought everything was over after their husbands left them but what they soon found out is that their lives were just beginning. Throughout the Netflix series’ six seasons (Season 7 is set to come to Netflix in 2021), we’ve seen Grace and Frankie create businesses, empower women, and find love....

Each of the three endings to Grand Theft Auto 5 has wildly different consequences, saving or killing off one or more of the protagonists, so fans of the series naturally want to know which ending Rockstar considers part of the official canon. The developer has not directly stated which GTA 5 ending is “true,” but fans have come up with some solid theories about what really happened to Trevor, Franklin, and Michael....

After a highly successful 2016 that saw acclaimed blockbusters Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange get the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3 off to a rousing start, the mega-franchise is poised to have an even bigger 2017. For the first time, this year sees the release of three new installments in the long-running series, beginning with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The highly-anticipated sequel secured Marvel’s traditional early May slot, kicking off another summer movie season....

Now that the iPhone SE is widely available to customers, we’re learning more about the technical specifications of the device. The developers behind the Halide Camera app have now published a deep dive into the iPhone SE’s camera, shedding new light on the single-lens system. A teardown from iFixit confirmed that the iPhone SE’s camera hardware is interchangeable with the iPhone 8, but Halide’s breakdown focuses on the camera software. Specifically, it points out the fact that the iPhone SE is the “first iPhone that can generate a portrait effect using nothing but a single, 2D image....

In news that’s not quite so new, former stars of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are feuding. Last week, Colton Underwood took a jab at Rachel Lindsay on Instagram. While Lindsay didn’t comment on Underwood’s obvious beef with her, former Bachelorette and current contestant on Dancing With the Stars Hannah Brown weighed in on the drama. It all started when the leading lady of Season 13 of The Bachelorette, Lindsay, appeared on an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen last week....

Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal series served audiences little hints in nearly every corner of his three-season series, even through the episode titles in each season, which share a theme. Hannibal ran on NBC from 2013-2015, and fans are still hopeful for a fourth season, which Fuller claims is not a lost cause. The series was based off books by author Thomas Harris - Hannibal, Red Dragon, and Hannibal Rising - whose work served as inspiration for The Silence of the Lambs, which starred Anthony Hopkins as the iconic Dr....
