While many major companies are now ditching their Apple Watch apps in favor of doing everything on iPhone, Halide today is adding support for the wearable in its latest release. The company announced in a blog post today that they are adding support for an Apple Watch companion app. The Watch app will allow users to take photos with a timer of 3, 10, or 30 seconds. In addition, the iPhone app will use the device’s flash to show the progress of the timer to easily take group photos....

We recently got our hands on several new Nomad cases for the iPhone X. Nomad, known for its high quality Horween Leather offerings, provides a wide variety of cases in its iPhone X lineup. Watch our hands-on video commentary for more details. Rugged Case Of all of the Nomad cases considered in this walkthrough, the iPhone X Rugged Case is perhaps the most normal of them all. It’s a simple infusion of Chicago-based Horween leather, with a rugged rubber lip that surrounds the outer edge....

The Suicide Squad director James Gunn, Harley Quinn and Groot get the ultimate impossible team-up in new art. Gunn has already made his mark on the MCU by writing and directing both Guardians of the Galaxy movies (and reportedly helping out behind-the-scenes on Avengers: Infinity War), and will continue making his mark when he takes the helm of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. But before the next Guardians movie cranks up, Gunn will put his special stamp on that other comic book cinematic universe as he brings to life the DCEU sequel The Suicide Squad, which features Margot Robbie back as Harley Quinn....

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 does a brilliant job of bringing the enthralling franchise to a satisfying end, with the movie scoring highly among both critics and audience members upon releasing back in 2011. It’s the movie where Hogwarts comes under siege, with the battle at the castle seeing people on both sides fall victim to each other in the fight for control of the wizarding world....

Harry Potter’s Wizarding World is a place full of wonders and joy and something you could enjoy without much suspension of disbelief while you were younger. Then you got older and started questioning some of J.K. Rowling’s fictional economic systems or the lack thereof. In her defense, she did admit that that aspect of world-building is not her strongest suit. All things excused, the Wizarding World’s economy makes for some hilarious banter among Potterheads....

In the Harry Potter series, the trio is made up of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and they’re the main characters and heroes. Many fans love these three friends and their unique personalities. While these three do a lot of heroic things and save the day many times, they also have their flaws. Dealing with the three of them as a fellow student definitely would have been frustrating at times as they can sometimes be a bit annoying....

Free 30-Day Social Media Content Calendar It’s October the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder. Piles of leaves are not for kicking, according to the people who rake them up and scarves are always a good idea. In this month’s content calendar you’ll notice something new that we have a feeling you might just fall ( pun intended ) in love with. Along with the graphic content idea prompts that you’ve come to know and love, we’ve added in some video prompts to help you keep your Instagram profile up to date and kicking goals for you....

What is YouTube Red? YouTube Red is a subscription service ($9.99/month) that offers access to all videos ad-free. It comes with other perks as well. It lets you download videos for offline viewing or listening. A lot of people listen to their music via YouTube. The offline viewing and listening support background play so you can keep the music going while using other apps or while on the go. To download, tap the down arrow icon on the screen and then choose the quality you want to download it at....

This is so you can have an idea of what you can expect from a GUI git client. I, personally, prefer the command-line; however, there are times where GUIs can be extremely useful for more complicated stuff. In addition to standalone apps, many IDEs have tools that interact with the repository that your files are in. IDEs will typically have support for other version control systems such as SVN and Mercurial as well....

As expected, Google just started rolling out its brand new inbox to iOS users after first introducing us to the new category-based design last week. While its not a tabbed design like on the desktop, much like the Android app that just started rolling out iOS users can now access the new feature that groups emails into separate inboxes by selecting categories from the app’s side navigation bar. Today’s Gmail update also brings improved notifications allowing you to customize what emails you receive notifications for:...

Good Omens will release on May 31, and while there’s not been too much revealed, the first trailer at New York Comic Con looked fantastic. Of course, as with any adaptation, there are going to be some changes from page to screen - some of which have already been revealed with casting announcements, and some of which were revealed for the first time at NYCC. As a whole, it seems that Good Omens is definitely going to satisfy fans of the novel (although Gaiman is well aware that not everyone will love the show), and we talked with the cast and creators about what kinds of changes (big and small) have been made for the small screen....

Google today announced that it’s acquiring Timeful Inc, the company behind the Timeful app that offers a central location for time management, calendar functions, to-do list and scheduling features. While the company confirmed that you will be able to continue downloading the Timeful app from the App Store— the app is iOS only— it also said that it will focus “the team’s attention will be on new projects at Google.” That means the Timeful team will begin implementing features of Timeful into Google apps, the company confirmed....

In the app, the “For You” tab houses a rundown of stories that Google thinks you’ll be interested in. For me, this ranged from some political news to technology and sports. Meanwhile, the “Headlines” feature serves as way to quickly skim through the biggest news of the day. You can sort by the latest stories, as well as topics such as business, technology, sports, science, entertainment, and health. In the “Favorites” tab you can add specific topics, sources, and locations that you’re interested in....

Almost exactly 2 years ago, Apple Vía Santa Fe opened in Mexico City. Apple’s plan for its first store in Mexico was ambitious, with a custom mural to welcome creativity and a private Boardroom to welcome business customers. Now, Apple is ready for something even greater. Apple Antara opened today, bringing Apple’s highest tier of retail design and the best of Today at Apple closer to the heart of Mexico City....

Both iPhoneClub and iPhoneHellas claim that GSM iPhones will soon gain the Verizon iPhone’s ‘Personal Hotspot’ feature. The feature is said to be coming at the GSM carrier’s discretion in an upcoming iOS 4.3 update. The feature allows the iPhone to turn into a mobile hotspot that can provide a wireless internet connection to up to five devices simultaneously. Both sites have very accurate track records when it comes to predicting iOS updates and no launch information has been given at this time....

While AirPlay 2 still hasn’t shipped, the feature is shaping up to be quite impressive in recent betas. Most notable is the ability to control audio playback on one device from Siri on another device, a feature we wrote about last fall that recently started working in beta… When we wrote about AirPlay 2 and everything we knew about it last fall, we described this feature but couldn’t yet test it:...

Looks like Apple has a couple of new accessories launching in the future and these haven’t been refreshed in a while. It’s no surprise that iPhone 6S rumors are in full effect, but which ones should you believe? Also, is Apple Music as much of a success as expected? All this and slightly more on this incremental “27S” version of the Happy Hour Podcast. (Just kidding, it’s episode 28.) The Happy Hour podcast is available for download on iTunes and through our dedicated RSS feed....

The Hogwarts professors are some of the most interesting and loveable characters in all of the Wizarding World. In many ways, the success of the Harry Potter series depended on the professors. The reason for this is that the professor-student relationship in the Wizarding World reminded viewers of their own relationships with their teachers, whether it be in high school or college. The Hogwarts professors are as varied as the students, with some being strict, others sinister, and a few jovial and approachable....

Hogwarts is the most magical place in the world. Ever since childhood, we all dreamed about one day receiving our Hogwarts letters so we could go to school in a giant castle and play quidditch with our magical friends. We could feast on pumpkin juice and kidney pie every supper, and turn a goblet into a raven just for the fun of it. It’s an adventurous fantasy to attend Hogwarts for many Harry Potter fans, yet there are some wildly interesting facts about the magical school that not even the most dedicated Potter fans know about....

Petunia Dursley, despite all that she may seem, is a complicated woman. She is torn between jealousy and intrigue when it comes to her sister’s enchanting abilities. She ultimately deals with these emotions by becoming the bitter magic-hating woman that she is. Her days as a Dursley may seem picturesque, but deep down, Petunia is constantly fighting the urge to (as Dumbledore so eloquently puts it) do what is right instead of what is easy....
