As was noted during Apple’s barrage of press releases on Tuesday, you can now purchase Nike’s Apple Watch Sport Bands separately. Previously, customers had to purchase the Apple Watch Nike+ hardware itself in order to score one of the breathable bands with compression-molded perforations. In this post, we go hands-on with all three of the Nike Sport Bands, which include Pure Platinum/White, Anthracite/Black, and Black/Volt. Watch our hands-on video for a look at each individually packaged band....

After Apple canceled AirPower, another company picked up the idea and brought something very similar to market a few months later called AirUnleashed. With the same design as AirPower and wireless charging for three devices, including Apple Watch, AirUnleashed likely hit a number of checkboxes for Apple customers. Now the company is back with a limited black edition and we’ve been able to test it out. If you didn’t catch coverage of AirUnleashed when the white version launched this past summer, here are a few details to fill you in....

Over the course of the insanely long Harry Potter book and film series, the character of Harry Potter himself has undergone a pretty intense transformation. He went from a lonely, isolated, and rejected young boy to a heroic young man who had a small world of people who loved him. And one of those people who he developed a strong relationship with was Luna Lovegood. Luna was one of the oddest birds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but she eventually came out of her shell and formed relationships with quite a few people around her....

Obviously, Hermione and Ron don’t technically become official boyfriend and girlfriend until the closing moments of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. By this time, they only get about five minutes more screen time, so there isn’t really enough to find a multitude of reasons to break up. As such, we’ve scoured the entire Harry Potterfranchise to find six moments where Hermione should have ended her friendship with Ron and never agreed to date him all those years later, and four times when Ron should have done the same....

GitHub senior product manager Kate Catlin explained that the company has teams of security researchers that review all changes and help keep security advisories up to date. But with the amount of new vulnerabilities and different attack vectors emerging each day, the company believes members of its community may be able to share additional insights and intelligence on CVEs. “GitHub is publishing the full contents of the Advisory Database to make it easier for the community to benefit from this data....

Google Drive has received an upgrade today that adds an extra layer of security to your files stored with the service via Face ID or Touch ID on iPhone and iPad. Spotted by The Verge, the support for Apple’s secure and convenient Face ID and Touch ID showed up in the latest Google Drive for iOS release notes.

Globally, Google found that the most popular news searches this year involved Afghanistan, which dominated headlines for weeks in August as the US ended its 20-year involvement in the country. Stock advice about AMC and Gamestop also was in the top five news topics searched. Alec Baldwin and Pete Davidson topped the list of actors, while athletes like Tiger Woods and Simone Biles led the way in sports. Marvel films like Eternals, Black Widow, and Shang-Chi were the top searched movies....

Marvel takes another huge step forward this summer with the introduction of a character who is also an actual, literal planet in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Ego the Living Planet is appearing in the film as the father of Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), played by Kurt Russell, who’s looking distinctly un-planet-like in the trailers. However, fans have been assured that this version of Ego is the heavenly body from the comics, and that all will become clear in the movie....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 hits theaters in less than two weeks, and everyone is wondering how it will compare to the incredible original. A lot has changed since the first film, with a more cohesive team, some new members, and a whole new adventure (that includes a reunion between Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and his long-lost father). Early reviews are positive, if not quite as gushing as they were for Guardians of the Galaxy, and there will be plenty of big reveals for audiences in May....

Gotham returns next week for its final two episodes, and star Cameron Monaghan celebrated by dropping a perfectly horrible close-up of himself as the Joker on social media. Fans have been very vocal about the Joker’s look ever since it was first revealed, but as the finale approaches he’s looking more and more like just what the Arkham Asylum doctors ordered. After falling into a toxic pit in an episode appropriately titled “ACE Chemicals,” the last time audiences saw Jeremiah Valeska was while he was lying in a hospital bed wrapped in bandages....

The full trailer for director Oz Perkins’ Gretel and Hansel is out, and it teases noticeable changes being made to the classic fairy tale. Pretty much everyone knows the story of Hansel and Gretel, two children abandoned in the woods by their parents due to a lack of enough food for the whole family. The siblings do their best to fend for themselves, eventually coming upon a remote old house made of candy and treats....

Director Oz Perkins puts a grimmer spin on the famous German fairy tale in the new trailer for his upcoming horror movie, Gretel & Hansel. With so many classic European folk stories in the public domain, Hollywood had a field day re-imagining them back in the early 2010s. Some of those adaptations leaned more into their source material’s horror elements than others, like Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood and even Tommy Wirkola’s Hansel & Gretel “sequel”, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is set to be Marvel’s first big hit for 2017. The teasers released so far have already racked up huge numbers, and a funny new tease posted yesterday reminded fans that the new trailer is set to drop very soon. Despite early reports from director James Gunn that the new movie would only feature two new characters, the roster seems to keep expanding. Not only will all of the Guardians be returning, but they’ll be augmented by Nebula and Yondu, plus new character Mantis....
