What’s the story behind the famous MissingNo. glitch in the original Pokémon games? So popular have Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow become across the world, that many of the game’s features and secrets have gone on to become urban legends.

A possible class action suit is in preparation over multiple reports of what appears to be anti-reflective coatings flaking off the screens of Retina MacBook Pros, resulting in a stained appearance. Most of the machines affected seem to be 2013 models. A group calling itself Staingate says that it has a database of more than 2500 people affected by the issue. More than 1800 of them have joined a Facebook group, a petition has been created, and lawyers Whitfield Bryson & Mason are collecting details of owners for “potential legal action against Apple related to staingate” … Repair specialists contacted by the BBC said that the problem does not appear to be a common one, but some affected owners report that Apple is refusing service under warranty, dismissing it as a cosmetic issue....

The Doom Patrol is at their most comfortable when the rules of reality are either bending or breaking. But how will they manage to keep it together when they literally trade reality for a virtual one. Welcome… to The Bozumatricks. From the very start, no book has better captured the Young Animal mission statement of doing the unthinkable, the unpredictable, the borderline understandable than Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds. As writers Gerard Way and Jeremy Lambert have sent that team through various levels of consciousness, and a cosmic divorce proceeding, but their next challenge is purely digital....

Over the past fifteen years, I’ve seen certain commenters pick the same fight literally every time Apple releases another device: “are accessories really needed for _____?” Fill the blank in with “iPod,” “iPhone,” “iPad,” “Apple TV,” or “Apple Watch” and you’ll see how the answer has eventually turned out to be “yes” every time. Even though I’ve tested virtually every type of Apple accessory out there, I couldn’t help but shake my head when companies first announced cases for the Apple TV’s remote control....

I laid out the three reasons I believe Apple is right to stand firm on encryption back in November. The tl;dr version was in the summary. Gratifyingly, 93% of you agreed with me. But much as you and I both think Apple is right, the company now appears to be in an extremely tricky position. Not only does it have a court order instructing it to assist the FBI in breaking into one specific phone, but it appears very likely that it has the technical ability to comply with this order....

Like many this morning, my first reaction to Apple’s Smart Battery Case was … what the heck? Albeit not expressed in those exact words. Seth tweeted that it seemed to be evidence that Jony Ive has left the building. My colleague Jeremy has addressed the battery case specifically, but I think there’s a broader issue here. Apple claims to sweat the details when it comes to the design of its devices, and – a few grumbles aside – I think that’s a legitimate claim on the aesthetic front....

The trailer and poster have arrived for Ron Howard’s documentary, Pavarotti. As its title implies, the film chronicles the life and times of the Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti, complete with archival footage of the late artist and interviews with those who knew him conducted in the present. This is far from Howard’s first time calling the shots on a documentary either, what with the Oscar-winner having previously worked on Made in America (a documentary about Jay-Z’s “Budweiser Made in America” music festival) and The Beatles: Eight Days a Week (which compiles footage and clips from The Beatles’ 250 concerts during the 1960s)....

Why did Mr. Mime grow an extra digit on his hand after first appearing in the original Pokémon games? Mr. Mime has always been considered one of the strangest entries in the original generation of 150 Pokémon. Mimes are strange enough creatures, but with its clownish hair, dead-behind-the-eyes expression and psychic abilities, Mr. Mime was more of a curiosity in the Pokédex than a creature trainers would actively seek to catch and add to their party....
