Google announced today that it is adding a free tier to its Google Play Music service.

Here’s how players can get extra perks by registering as a CEO in Grand Theft Auto Online. Rockstar Games released GTA Online in 2013 and the game had something of a rocky start; while critics praised its gameplay and scope, a host of technical issues earned it a lot of negative reviews. The game got over its growing pains and six years after its original release GTA Online is more popular than ever, and one of the Grand Theft Auto franchise’s top earners....

Gizmodo today runs a post by the guy who tried to sell one of Apple’s 5th Avenue Store Stairs on eBay. The eBay posting was taken down one day into bidding without a word about the circumstances. Until now. A year and a half ago, I was an Apple employee at the Fifth Ave flagship store. In that time, there was a silly, unfortunate accident. A woman came down the magnificent spiral staircase, and dropped a Snapple bottle…After bouncing once or twice, the bottle severely cracked one of the steps....

Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake star Scout Taylor-Compton is glad a planned third movie didn’t move forward. Halloween: Resurrection from 2002 was the eighth entry in the franchise, but despite turning a decent profit, the sequel was widely hated by fans and critics. Its lazy commentary on reality TV, the controversial opening death of series heroine Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and two different scenes where Michael Myers is beaten up by Busta Rhymes made it one of the most disliked entries in the series....

Whether she viewed her as a misunderstood villain or an evil one, Harley Quinn is one of the most beloved characters of the DCEU. She was by far the star of Suicide Squad, stealing the show and waltzing her way into the audience’s heart despite the movie’s low ratings and poor criticisms. It has now been four years since the movie’s release, Harley Quinn has been gone for a while but she is finally back to the big screen with Birds Of Prey....

During our time with the Harry Potter series, we got to know several different students who played Quidditch. Though arguably we got to know the Gryffindor team the best, there were plenty of named students who were also players for their team. Surprisingly, most of the students we met did not move on to professional teams. Given the focus some of these students put on their teams, you’d think that most of them would be planning on moving forward with their passion....

Gilmore Girls is all about the main characters, mother/daughter duo Lorelai and Rory, who love movie nights with pizza and candy, drink coffee like it’s going out of style, and help each other through good and bad times. But the funny and sweet TV show, which aired for seven seasons on The WB and then got a four-episode revival on Netflix, also has many supporting characters. The town that Lorelai and Rory live in, Stars Hollow, is picture perfect and features many quirky residents....

The Mount Gordo ghost is one of Grand Theft Auto 5’s spookiest Easter eggs, but it’s not just a fun bit of horror thrown into the game. Fans have pieced together bits of GTA 5’s story to theorize about who the Mount Gordo ghost really is, and it has a particularly dark origin story. GTA developer Rockstar is notorious for packing its games with unexplained Easter eggs. Red Dead Redemption 2’s mysterious Francis Synclair mural, for example, contains cryptic depictions of the supposed time traveler’s exploits, including a meteor headed for ancient Egyptian pyramids....

Mac Stories found evidence for a 2048 x 1536 resolution display, Engadget says it will be “super-high resolution”. For what it is worth, we found some evidence that the iPad 2’s display will stick with the current one’s 1024 x 768. Gruber spoke to his sources and is reporting that the iPad 2 does not have a Retina Display and believes that the display will have the 1024 x 768 resolution....
