After a battery of tests with their current lineup of USB-C and Thunderbolt products, Plugable learned that Apple’s newest MacBook Pros may not be compatible with currently available Thunderbolt 3 devices. This issue seems to specifically stem from the use of Texas Instruments controller chips in the Thunderbolt 3 devices. If true, this means that has Apple potentially shut out early adopters of the new technology. Plugable had began running tests of their USB-C and Thunderbolt products and realized that their Thunderbolt 3 peripherals were no longer compatible with Apple’s latest MacBook Pro....

Winter is here and spring is on the way, so we’re counting down the movies to see over the first four months of 2020. (May, per Screen Rant tradition, will be covered in our summer preview.) 2019 was, in many ways, a massive year for franchise movies. The MCU’s Infinity Saga and Star Wars’ Skywalker saga were both concluded over the last twelve months, with numerous event films arriving in-between them....

The newest reports from Taiwanese media indicate that the iPhone 6 could possibly be revealed in August, not September. According to these rumors, the smaller, 4.7-inch model could be available for purchase the same month, with the larger 5.5-inch version going on sale in September—the month in which most rumors had originally predicted the reveal. As we’ve previously reported, the next iPhone will likely be available in two versions, each with a different size screen larger than the current 4-inch iPhone 5s....

If you’re only using your business Instagram to post pictures, you may be missing a golden opportunity. Social media platforms are now storytelling tools that allow your audience to understand and buy into your brand. Why does this matter? Brands that tell stories don’t just make more sales; they create more long term engagement – people come back, and more visits mean more revenue in the long term. Here are our top tips for storytelling on Instagram 1....

A surprising number of movies are changed in post-production. The director will be completely finished with a movie, but for whatever reason (usually lame test audiences), they will be forced to change the ending. Sometimes (read - very rarely) this is for the better. Maybe the test audiences WERE on to something and the director got lost in their own vision. Other times these endings are abhorrent disasters that ruin an otherwise movie....

Some managers may still remember the days when sales reps would turn up unannounced at the office with a suitcase of samples, trying to peddle their wares. Many of these sales reps could give a good speech. They knew their products’ benefits and could effortlessly give you a spiel on how their latest gadget would increase your sales, reduce your costs, or keep the showroom tidy. Yet after they left, you were often left with an uneasy feeling....

Cats released to the unforgiving, unprepared masses around Christmas, and reviews have been nothing short of scathing. The musical CGI train wreck of the season, the backlash has been so severe that the official Oscar campaign for the film has been canceled. And yet the movie does hold some merit on the awards front; for example, “Beautiful Ghosts” was nominated for Best Original Song at the Golden Globes. Despite its defeat, Cats is down, but is certainly not out....

Disney continues to pump out new live-action remakes of their animated classics. After Dumbo, the next film to come out is Aladdin. For many, the original Aladdin is a classic. Robin William’s performance as the Genie is iconic. The songs are unforgettable. It’s arguably among the top Disney films ever made. So any prospect of a remake is cause for alarm. Thankfully, there are reasons many think Guy Ritchie’s new Aladdin might be worth watching....

The work Marvel Studios has done with their cinematic universe has truly revolutionized the superhero genre. During the early 2000s especially, there were several Marvel films that failed to be as successful as the MCU is now in more ways than one. Where those films failed (although some succeeded), these new ones have learned and matured from the experiences. Here are five things we actually miss about those pre-MCU days and five things we could probably do with leaving in the past....

Netflix’s The Circle has been one of the surprise hits of the year. The reality show, which eerily feels like something straight out of Black Mirror, follows a group of contestants as they compete for popularity and a grand prize of $100k based solely on their interactions on a social media app, specifically designed for the show, called The Circle. Like all good reality shows, the series had a variety of moments that made viewers completely cringe in secondhand embarrassment and others that completely melted their hearts....

Usually, a thermostat is a component of the heating system that senses the temperature of a room so that it maintains its temperature to an established set point. Those products that are smart enough can even decide exactly what to do throughout the day. They are connected to Wi-Fi and have implemented complex algorithms which calculate the best options for personal comfort and can be controlled remotely through different smartphone applications or, even from the online environment....

The cast and crew of any given Star Trek property are almost guaranteed to spend a lot of time together. Whether they’re working on a television episode or a movie, it takes a long time to create the world that’s become a favorite for so many people. So, naturally, there are bound to be some relationships that form between cast and crew. Over the years, the actors especially have been the subject of a lot of rumors about their dating lives, especially if their characters were together on the show....

9-1-1 is a fun ride of a show. Filled with crazy situations but grounded characters, it is a very watchable show. So far they’ve given us buildings falling over from earthquakes, gas line explosions, bugs burrowed in influencer cheeks, and a main character kidnapped by her abusive ex. There are adorable kids, but also gruesome scenarios. It has everything! While the show entertains consistently, there are still some things that would be great to see....

90 Day Fiance’s Tim Malcolm says the “Tell-All” special will be mind-blowing. Fans have enjoyed a roller coaster-ride of a season, so the post-finale roundup will provide closure to some story lines, while leaving die-hard fans to marvel over new disclosures. Malcolm is no stranger to the 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days family. His relationship with Colombian beauty Jeniffer Tarazona captivated fans and fellow cast members alike. Although Malcolm lovingly bid his girlfriend “bye-bye for now,” the show was unforgiving in its depiction of their union....
