Walt Disney Pictures first launched the hugely popular swashbuckling action-adventure series Pirates of the Caribbean in 2003 with The Curse of the Black Pearl. The film starring Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Johnny Depp garnered positive reviews from critics and casual moviegoers alike and raked in over $600 million at the box office when all was said and done. Its success led to two more within a trilogy following Bloom and Knightley’s characters - Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, respectively - while a fourth film, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides shifted its focus to be solely on Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow....

Asked why Apple had never made a touchscreen Mac, Steve Jobs said back in 2010 that it would be a usability fail. There’s no doubt that he was right – if you’re talking about a primary form of input. For computers, a trackpad or mouse is just a better solution. We’ve done tons of user testing on this, and it turns out it doesn’t work. Touch surfaces don’t want to be vertical....

Data from device-protection company Prey shows that you are far more likely to misplace a device than to have it stolen.

As noted by MacRumors, an eBay listing popped up today showing what appears to be a prototype 16GB iPad with two dock connectors. The iPad has always included the same, single dock connector that allows docking in portrait orientation, but the prototype in the listing shows a second dock connector that would allow for docking in landscape view. We heard rumors several times as far back as the original iPad launch that Apple was working to add a second dock connector....

Director Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1960 thriller Psycho contains one of the best and most famous twist endings of all time, and we examine it in detail. Hitchcock’s resume is stacked with incredible films, but Psycho might just be his most famous, and probably the one even people who don’t generally watch older horror movies are most likely to have seen. This is partially due to Psycho spawning a franchise, with Anthony Perkins returning to play Norman Bates in three sequels....

The Academy is still considering not having a host for the 2020 Oscars. This past ceremony, which took place in February, was supposed to feature Kevin Hart as emcee, but he stepped down due to controversy regarding homophobic comments he made. In lieu of finding a replacement, the Academy opted to go host-less, which at the time seemed like a recipe for disaster. That announcement when it appeared the Oscars couldn’t do anything right, on the heels of the infamous Best Popular Film debacle and the (later reversed) decision to remove a handful of technical categories from the broadcast....

Fans of Brian K. Vaughan’s Paper Girls comics may be excited to know that a TV series featuring your favorite Midwestern newsies of the late 1980s is in development. The comic series just wrapped up in July of 2019, making it ripe for an adaptation with an end game in sight. Given that Vaughan has joked about how we’ll never see a Saga adaptation unless it’s got Lin Manuel Miranda on board (and how many fans would beg them to take their money to do that?...

While the 2019 Pet Sematary remake got harsh criticisms for some of the decisions it made, primary around the choice to swap Gage’s death to his older sister, Ellie, the remake adapts some of the finer points of King’s original novel in ways the 1989 version didn’t; it also includes the Wendigo, which was a big part of the film’s source material. According to Jud (John Lithgow) in the movie: “they fear that place… there’s something up there....

When I posted my opinion piece yesterday, I did so knowing that fans of the old 17-inch MacBook Pro are in a tiny minority. Most people are happy enough with a 15-inch screen when mobile, and most also seem content to use a mix of on-board storage, external drives and the cloud, so I also didn’t expect to see much support for my own preference for 2TB of on-board storage....

Shopping for USB-C accessories for your new MacBook? Beware that the USB-C landscape as far as accessories and compatibility with your Mac is an absolute mess. Apple might be complying with the final specs for USB-C, but they weren’t finalized until after the original 2015 MacBook, Apple’s first product with a USB-C port. That’s why Apple issued an update to its MacBooks and its own USB-C accessories for the 2016 MacBook (not to mention a recall for faulty cables), but it’s also why the current crop of accessories available are hit and miss when it comes to compatibility across the board....

Psych’s “100 Clues” celebrated 100 episodes of the comedy series and paid homage to a 1985 cult favorite. Psych is a USA Network show that debuted in 2006 and revolved around Shawn Spencer (James Roday), whose photography memory and keen observation skills help him convince others he’s really psychic. Of course, this isn’t the case, which doesn’t prevent him from setting up a detective agency with friend Gus (Dule Hill) and aiding the police with solving crimes....

PlayerUnknown’s BATTLEGROUNDS, better known as PUBG, is getting another map overhaul as the game moves into its fifth season.
