Grey’s Anatomy is basically a revolving door of brilliant and unique characters, and has been for almost 15 years. Shonda Rhimes has an uncanny ability to write characters who intrigue the audience while simultaneously charming the pants off of us. Over the years, Rhimes has delivered some absolutely precious gems with the likes of Mark Sloan, Arizona Robbins and of course, Cristina Yang. These characters will be remembered forever in the hearts of the viewers....

Growth in wearables is expected to slow dramatically this year for three reasons, all coronavirus related. First, there is arguably less need for things like smartwatches while people are under lockdown at home. Fitness functionality is less relevant when gyms are closed and many people are unable to exercise as much as usual … There is also less benefit to things like Apple Watch notifications when people are at home with their phone in front of them instead of in their pocket....

Who would have thought that a small, holiday Disney movie like Halloweentown would have the star power it does over 20 years later? Imagining a world where all the monsters from Halloween night live throughout the year is enough to make people’s imaginations go into overdrive. In Halloweentown, not only did the Cromwell/Piper children find out there’s another universe called Halloweentown, but they also found out they come from a long line of witches....

One of the more exciting macOS-centric features announced at Monday’s WWDC 2017 keynote was native support for external GPUs within macOS High Sierra. As a big fan of the eGPU concept, and as someone who’s taken quite a few eGPU boxes for a spin on older versions of macOS, I was excited to try out the native functionality baked inside of High Sierra. Although you could get eGPUs working in previous versions of macOS, doing so wasn’t officially supported by Apple....

Another week in the world of Apple and it looks like Tim Cook may have violated some important SEC regulations. Along with that, there has been major demand for Apple Watch, but not where you’d expect it. Oh, and remember Bendgate? Looks like it won’t affect the iPhone 6S.

German banking brand Sparkasse has announced that the Sparkassen-Card debit card – billed as Germany’s most popular payment card – now supports Apple Pay. This allows it to be used by customers of a wide range of savings banks. The move had been a long-awaited one for German iPhone users … Sparkasse is an umbrella brand for more than 400 savings banks, most of which are nonprofits owned by local regions or charitable foundations....

From 9to5Toys.com: . Usually, these ‘name your own price’ bundles are full of duds but this one is pretty impressive. You get Mac Blu-ray Player, Snapz Pro, Disk Tools, CrossOver, Paperless OCR, Gemini de-duper, MusicTube and more. There is a catch though. It isn’t really “name your own price”, it is pay a bit more than the last folks did. The good news is that it is currently under $7. The bad news is that the more people that buy, the higher the price goes, so get in quick....

Totallee is well known for its super-thin cases, which have been a favorite of ours since they launched back in 2013.

1984’s dark comedy film Gremlins can be divisive for some people, including people like the MPAA upon release. Even though this film isn’t for everyone, there’s really no arguing with its cultural impact. Following the story of Billy and his new Christmas gift Gizmo, this story of responsibility, little critters, and murder is anything but a favorite across the board. This article is going to take an exciting and in-depth look at what makes so many struggle to come to a consensus....

We first talked lovingly about Sharp’s amazing 32-inch 3,840-by-2,160-pixel display in November, but now that we’ve gone hands-on, we got a full-on crush. Called the “PN-K321”, the $5000 display is aimed at medical imaging professionals and high-end image/video professionals. And me, obviously. To be honest, the gallery, taken with Canon’s new 6G DSLR, doesn’t do it justice. Please, Apple: Here is your next iMac Retina and Thunderbolt display. These displays aren’t just beautiful....

New images from iFun.de reveal an Apple logo on the front of the building in Hannover, Germany suggesting Apple is nearing completion on the project. Development on the site started in April last year. Although the building has been covered, iFun.de has managed to catch a photo of the Apple logo whilst it is lit up — the logo is visible because the light is bleeding through the cover. This sighting not only acts as confirmation that the site is indeed an Apple Store, it also suggests that the site is almost ready to open to the public....

While FOX’s hit musical comedy series Glee centered on Rachel Berry and her unforgettable rise from annoying overachiever to genuine Broadway star, viewers often found themselves gravitating towards some of her fellow members of McKinley High’s New Directions. Quinn Fabray started out as the school’s head cheerleader and Celibacy Club president, but over the course of the series’ six seasons, the cold-hearted Queen Bee developed into an incredibly complex character whose development became one of the highlights of the series....

The upcoming summer blockbuster, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, is releasing at the end of the month. (Tickets went on sale May 10th....

Joe Nocera from the New York Times got a little call from El Jobso after Monday’s conference call. A typically (not weak) Jobs laid into the reporter and told him all of the details…off the record. No, it isn’t cancer. No, it isn’t life threatening. The reporter asks why he can’t tell the shareholders. On Thursday afternoon, several hours after I’d gotten my final “Steve’s health is a private matter” — and much to my amazement — Mr....
