Thanks to its latest update, the five-year-old Grand Theft Auto Online is breaking records. The update, “The Diamond Casino & Resort,” was initially announced by developer Rockstar in June. Rockstar didn’t reveal a lot of details about the update at the time, although it was clear that an online casino component would get added to the game. The update, though, included more than just a casino. It also added new missions, cars, collectibles and more for players....

The Guardian has an interesting piece on a prototype car that caught the interest of Steve Jobs in the spring of 2010. Called the V-Vehicle, it was an attempt to create a lightweight, low-cost, gas-powered car whose secret was cheaper materials. Within a few hours of receiving an email saying that Steve wanted to see it, Thompson and the team had taken the car to Steve’s house – where Apple’s co-founder had plenty of advice to offer during the 15 minutes he spent sitting in the car …...

Attackers are posing a growing challenge to satellite fleet operators and raising questions on the level of security to ensure also for commercial satellites, security experts are convinced that they need to be “hardened” exactly like the secure military satellites. Principal cyber powers such as the US and UK fear a possible offensive from foreign hostile governments, non-state actors and even single hackers, but it is it is undeniable that the main concerns are related to the aggressive behavior of China, especially in this area....

Donald Pleasance’s performance as Dr. Loomis in Halloween is the stuff of horror legend, but he wasn’t John Carpenter’s first choice for the role. It’s often said that a movie hero is only as good as his villain, but in horror, sometimes the opposite is true. Horror is the genre most likely to end up centering on its antagonist, especially when it comes to crafting a long-running franchise. Yet, for the first six Halloween films, Dr....

After last week’s exciting release of Nvidia’s beta Pascal drivers for Mac, I was looking forward to trying the top of the line consumer GPU with my MacBook Pro. That GPU is none other than the venerable GeForce GTX 1080 Ti — a $700 card with 11 Gbps of GDDR5X memory and a 11 GB frame buffer. Needless to say this card is one that will interest those looking to push their games to the next level....

The iPhone can shoot 4K video, and now even the iPad can shoot 4K video. Yet, there are times when you need the flexibility and power provided by a standalone camera. Standalone cameras have inherent advantages over smartphone cameras, despite the major strides made by iPhone photography over the last few years. Even with amazing third-party apps like FiLMiC Pro, which lets you adjust things like ISO and shutter speed, you’re still stuck with a constant aperture and fixed lens....

The mistress of mayhem will have an unlikely partner in Harley Quinn #72, when the femme fatale teams up with the time-traveling former football star from the future, Booster Gold. While both have a knack for creating unintentional chaos wherever life leads them, the two rarely ever team-up… and it appears as though Harley wants to keep it that way. Though different in almost every conceivable way, the two previously co-starred in a nine-issue crossover event that initially pitted them against each other: Heroes In Crisis....

Ever since the world laid eyes on Draco Malfoy, it seemed obvious that this arrogant, elitist bully was meant to be one of the main villains of the Harry Potter series. And for the most part, he was. Draco was a rude and cruel boy who was unnecessarily mean to plenty of people who didn’t deserve it, and often times he seemed to take pleasure in causing others embarrassment or pain....

When Harry Potter started out in 1997, all of us were either hardly in double-digit ages or weren’t even born, which is why no one thought about what any future couples would be like. By the time the series ended in 2007, we’d all grown up enough to form opinions over the couples that had formed during that time. With the film series really making the franchise popular, the idea we had of these couples was magnified....

Coltrane played the character in all eight movie adaptations based on the book series by J.K.

Hagrid played an integral role in the Harry Potter series, introducing the young boy wizard to the wizarding world in the first installment....

RCS is the modern take on the SMS standard that’s supported on Android but is not supported by Apple iMessage (which does support SMS). This technical gap was highlighted in a Wall Street Journal article on the weekend detailing how US teens are using iMessage to socially isolate Android users from group chats. Messages from Android users are displayed in iMessage in green bubbles versus blue bubbles for messages received from fellow iPhone users....

In a short amount of time, Grey’s Anatomy will return for its sixteenth season. Grey’s has quickly become the most popular medical drama of all time, even surpassing ER.

Despite being on the air for almost twenty years, sometimes it’s fun to take a look back at the very beginning....
