How do you shop for a tech-savvy person who buys the latest of everything before the holidays arrive? I am totally that person for my family when it comes to the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods. There are some Apple products that I can never have enough of like App Store gift cards and another HomePod, but stocking stuffers and expensive smart speakers aren’t always the right gift. That’s why I’m approaching my gift recommendations this year a bit different....

Four Sniper Elite projects are officially in development, including the next installment in the series and a remastered edition of Sniper Elite V2. It’s been two years since the release of Rebellion’s Sniper Elite 4, which launched in February of 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Set in North Africa during World War II, the tactical third-person shooter focuses on Karl Fairburne’s mission to assassinate a Nazi general. Games in the Sniper Elite series are known for featuring large maps that allow the player to take full advantage of the range of a sniper rifle....

Ever since the first Fast & Furious movie released, the larger than life film franchise has embarked on a wild ride from drag-racing to superhero-level world-saving. These movies are mostly known for their car chases and action sequences leaving little room for any serious acting. Yet we’ve had some actors in these films who have given some memorable and entertaining performances (and a few others whose acting tires have just fallen flat)....

The CW’s Flash has been a success for the most part. With the series running for a number of seasons, over the years the showrunners have managed to introduce various characters to the small screen, sometimes for the very first time! Like anything, it’s sometimes difficult to directly adapt a character from the page to the screen. Of course, the scarlet speedster has an incredible rogue’s gallery, and it would be difficult to include every single villain he’s ever faced....

Sex and the City is one of those classic TV shows that fans can watch hundreds of times. The story of New Yorker Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her best friends Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Samantha Jones (Kim Catrall) feels like it could take place in any era. After all, everyone is always searching for love, hanging out with their friends, and observing the people around them....

Run Android Apps on Chromebook One of the advantages of getting a new Chromebook is it allows the ability to choose from and run millions of apps from the Google Play Store. But not all Chromebooks can run Android apps, and, in some cases, you might need to enable the ability first. Most modern Chromebooks (2017 or newer) will run Android apps from the Play Store out of the box, though....

Since the wrap of season 7 of 90 Day Fiancé, the highlight of the finale was the major blow-up from Angela Deem. This time, fiancé Michael Ilesanmi’s friends - aka “the goofballs”- received her wrath. However, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the 90 Day Fiancé promotional team made it seem. Michael and Angela have had a very rocky road to the altar. It appears that the couple made a major step towards their forever with a wedding this past January....

A simple technology that enables 911 livestreaming is proving invaluable in letting emergency services see for themselves the nature of an emergency when someone calls them … When you use your smartphone to make an emergency call, operators can text you a link. When you tap on that, you will grant access to your phone’s cameras, so that they can see the emergency situation for themselves. This allows emergency services to instantly assess everything from the size of a fire to the severity of a car crash....

Shameless is an incredible TV series that has been on the air for a whopping eight years. Its kitschy depiction of a dysfunctional family unit on the South Side of Chicago has seen cast members come and go like musical chairs. Some of these characters are wildly loveable while others made us want to quit watching Shameless altogether due to how dislikable they were. Because The Gallagher Family is so big, many people have entered and left their lives within a blink of an eye....

The pair are joined by six other regular group members who use old documents from World War II Germany to trace the whereabouts of Nazi perpetrators (many of them made up specifically for the program itself). Much of the criticism of the show comes from its lack of historical reality and the liberties it took with much of its portrayal of life inside a concentration camp, as well as the violence depicted as the Hunters go about their mission....

The New Mutants will officially be released by Disney so we can finally anticipate what will be in store for Marvel fans. The latest trailer release indicates that not much seems to have been changed about the film, so it appears to be a mostly FOX project. There’s plenty of things we’re excited for about this film, although it was nearly forgotten about for quite some time. There’s also a few things we’re worried about too!...

The reality is that audiences don’t trust brands as much as they trust other people. In fact, Nielsen’s 2021 Trust in Advertising study found that a resounding 88% of audiences trust recommendations of people they personally know. This reinforces earlier findings. In 2015, Nielsen found that 83% of audiences trust friends and family the most. Amid the ‘Great Resignation’ and the ‘War for Talent’, or the growing investment in demand generation to drive revenue growth, engaging audiences is now more critical than ever....

But even if you’re not aiming to become a celebrity, an influencer, or an entrepreneur, having a personal brand is still an essential step to success. For example, it can set you apart from a pile of resumes. Or if you’re working with a business or organization, your personal brand can help bring more recognition for the company you’re working with. Whatever the case may be, it’s clear that you need to effectively brand yourself to succeed....

Here’s nine possible clues of a time jump in Avengers: Endgame. Marvel Studios is keeping such a tight lid on the plot of Avengers 4 that even the first trailer for the epic Phase 3 conclusion didn’t reveal too many details. However, one aspect of the film many are trying to figure out is whether or not it does have a time jump. The theories of a time jump in Avengers 4 started to pop up during production, when it looked like a much older version of Tony Stark (as played by Robert Downey Jr....
