Some businesses are set in their ways and reluctant to change from how they have always done things. They think, “If it ain’t broke, why fix it!” Even those businesses willing to adapt and change, take their time to make purchasing decisions. There is a huge difference between a consumer making a typical online shopping decision to buy a new pair of shoes, and a business committing itself to what could potentially be a multimillion dollar contract....

United States carrier Sprint, the nation’s third-largest wireless telecommunications network, announced today holiday quarter earnings containing a couple interesting tidbits related to Apple’s iPhone, which helped bring in most of its new customers. Sprint reportedly ponied up $20 billion to land Apple’s iconic smartphone last October, calling the handset launch in today’s statement “successful.” This means some 720,000 Sprint iPhones went into the hands of new customers—once again highlighting Apple device’s proven ability to attract new consumers....

4th Gen iPad – Features One of the biggest design changes that users will notice is the new Lightning connector (theoretically, it can be much better than the market standard Micro-USB). What this means is that users of the old generation iPad that want to upgrade their device will have a bunch of useless accessories around the house. Apart from this, the 4th Generation iPad has more upgrades under its hood....

When Glee came out, it was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. Four years after its end, that’s still the case. It was a bizarre mix of musical revelry, awkward/fake wokeness, and characterizations that changed on a dime. That’s still not even the half of it, though. Even though it’s been over for years, Glee has had a resurgence in popularity. Half of it is old fans cringing at its antics, the other half is people loving the extreme way it does everything all over again....

Spider-Man: Far From Home is the epilogue to the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s ‘Infinity Saga.’ With the status quo restored at the cost of Iron Man’s life (and the Hulk’s arm,) it only makes sense that the last film in Phase Three centers around Tony Stark’s protege - Peter Parker. Now that Tony Stark and Natalia Romanoff are deceased, Steve Rogers is retired, and Bruce Banner is disabled, MCU fans are wondering who will carry on their stead?...

The original Harry Potter series came out from 1997 to 2007. They started when films like Titanic, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and Men in Black were playing in theaters. The last book was published when the iPhone was first announced and theaters were playing I am Legend and Ratatouille. And if that’s not enough to make any fan feel ancient when thinking about the series, the films and books themselves include a few little details that date them - and that will make readers cringe at how long ago they first came out....

There’s nothing like a good twist. Although it’s rare for a movie to have one big central twist and even rarer for that twist to be satisfying, huge plot changes that subvert all expectations happen frequently on TV. The longer form of story-telling on TV opens the possibilities up tremendously to a big and revolutionary twist. There’s so much more time to tell and build up to a big plot twist on TV that can make the big move so satisfying....

Apple VP of environment, policy and social initiatives Lisa Jackson has shared a story via ABC7 News about a nine-year-old boy whose hearing was restored thanks to a new type of bone-conduction hearing aid controlled by a companion iPhone app. Highlighting accessibility and inclusion, Jackson wrote that ‘technology can transform lives [and] 9-year old Joshua is a great example.’ Joshua Gomez started losing his hearing at the age of three, and a succession of surgeries over a five-year period all failed....

2020 is a promising year for movies with films such as Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and In the Heights scheduled for theatrical release. There are also a number of sequels and reboots to major franchises for which people may or may not be excited. The same is true for comedies, with new story ideas as well as reboots and sequels to major franchises being released....

Voldemort’s infamous pet snake Nagini became much more lively with the announcement that Claudia Kim would play her human form in the new Fantastic Beasts movie. For years she was known simply as the serpentine instrument of Voldemort’s evil intentions. After Crimes of Grindelwald, she’s now a more fleshed out and (dare we say it) human character. While seeing her in Fantastic Beasts gave us a fascinating insight to her psyche, it’s also raised a lot of questions....

Ju-On: The Grudge has had a lasting effect on the horror landscape in the west, and along with Ring, it’s has done a great job at bringing Japanese horror films over here to the west. While there are some fans of the American remake of The Grudge that prefer it, and tons that just plain haven’t seen the original, there’s something almost more frightening about the rough-around-the-edges feel of Ju-On: The Grudge that makes it an absolute must-watch for any self-respecting horror fan....

Sitcoms are some of the best shows on television. Filled with comedy and love and humorous scenarios, sitcoms have the ability to pull viewers in night after night. Over the years, we’ve been gifted with hundreds of sitcoms. Some have made television gold while others only lasted a season. Sadly, some sitcoms that really resonated with viewers were never renewed while others that have been on season after season didn’t deserve the recognition they were getting....

Michael Bay’s Netflix movie, 6 Underground, bears some strong similarities to Christopher Nolan’s Inception, but doesn’t fare well from the comparison. Universally derided by critics upon its Netflix release back in December 2019, Michael Bay’s return to his patented ‘Bayhem’ antics was perhaps better received by the streaming public, currently sitting at a 62% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Bay’s latest movie revolves around Ryan Reynolds’ billionaire-with-a-conscience ‘One’ deciding to fake his death, recruit a team of specialists (persuading them to do the same) and take down a particularly soulless dictator....

The MCU may be about the entire Avengers team, but right from the beginning, Iron Man has taken center stage in the narrative. With the explosive popularity of Robert Downey Jr., Tony Stark has become the defacto leader of The Avengers and in many ways the main protagonist of the MCU. Even in Infinity War, despite the presence of other heroes, the enmity between Tony and the main villain of the piece, Thanos, feels oddly personal....
