Aliens’ conniving corporate stooge Carter Burke is one of the most hated characters in the franchise, and a deleted scene gave him what he deserved. It’s rare that a sequel is so good that many fans consider it to be better than the original film, but director James Cameron’s 1986 sci-fi/horror classic Aliens is one such follow-up. That’s not to say it’s universally seen as better than Ridley Scott’s Alien, but it’s at the very least on the same level of quality, while also providing a very different experience....

Over recent years, mesh Wi-Fi systems have become incredibly popular. Options like eero and Google Wi-Fi are generally consumer-friendly in terms of ease-of-use and setup. They both feature slick iOS apps and are easy to manage on a day-to-day basis, but they are far from perfect. Eero’s privacy policy currently says it collects data for optimizing Wi-Fi performance, usage data, crash reports, and other performance details. — Geoffrey A.

Remove Recent Items on Fire TV Similar to the Kindle Fire’s Carousel, the main menu displays TV, movies, games, and apps that you’ve recently used. Sometimes this is convenient, but you might want to remove certain items. From the home screen, go to the Recent items section and scroll to the item you want to remove. Then underneath the thumbnail of the app or video, select Remove from Recent. You can mirror your Fire HDX to select TVs, but there’s not a lot of them....

Users of Adobe’s just launched Director 12, which introduced the ability to publish iOS games, weren’t too happy in January about the company’s decision to collect a 10 percent royalty on earnings above an initial 20K for paid iOS apps. Following the feedback from users, Adobe has now reversed its decision and will no longer require any royalty fees or registration for iOS titles published with the platform. Adobe provided us with the following comment:...

Starting today, Adobe is rolling out a new version of its Creative Cloud desktop app for macOS and Windows with an updated design and totally new organization. Adobe hopes the new app will be a more intuitive way to launch and update apps and access your Creative Cloud files. Adobe’s previous Creative Cloud desktop app was always a bit of an outlier on macOS. The app behaved like a menu bar utility — always running and accessible with a click — but looked and felt more like a web app or port than a native Mac tool....

Competition appears to be heating up in the voice-based intelligent speaker market, with Samsung the latest company said to be planning its own version. A WSJ report seemingly confirms earlier rumors. The timing is far from determined, the people said. The English-language version of Bixby has been delayed and they said many of the speaker’s features and other specifications are yet to be decided. But the project—internally code-named “Vega”—has been going on for more than a year, several of the people said....

[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ahead.] - Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pressed on with its Framework arc this week in an episode that saw Daisy and Simmons continue to pursue their friends and escape the virtual reality; Coulson geek out at the prospect of having a robotic arm; and Fitz loyally serve HYDRA and its leader, A.I.D.A., now known as Madame Hydra. The episode also saw the debut of the Framework version of Jeffrey Mace, better known as The Patriot....

Warner Bros.’ live-action Akira movie has received a big tax incentive to film in California. The original Akira manga was written by Katsuhiro Otomo in the 1980s and has gone on to become one of the more influential sci-fi Japanese comic book series of all time. Both the manga and 1988 anime film adaptation (which Otomo also directed and co-wrote) take place in a futuristic cyberpunk setting known as Neo-Tokyo. There, the young leader of a biker gang, Shōtarō Kaneda, struggles to save his childhood friend, Tetsuo Shima, after he begins to develop increasingly dangerous telekinetic abilities as part of a government experiment....

Low Tide, the first feature film effort from writer and director Kevin McMullin, will be out in theaters October 4. The story of teenage boys on a treasure hunt in the summer provides a whole new outlook on Jersey Shore, as the carefree thrills soon turn more chilling than expected. Two of the boys, Red and Smitty, are a particularly nasty brand of bullies and help push the narrative to a darker place....

The Crown has taken the television binging public by storm. In its third season, even a casting change to all its major characters (to age them up as time progresses) did not deter audiences from tuning in. In fact, this new cast of the royal family, recently won the Screen Actors Guild Award for best ensemble in a television series. That’s impressive all by itself. But The Crown is certainly not the first time a historical monarch has been portrayed on screen, nor is it even the first time for Elizabeth II herself....

Disney Characters have a separate place in our hearts. But have you played this game with all the Disney characters in it?

The 1974 cult classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre spawned a decade of similar films, until its first official sequel eleven years later. Here’s how each of the sequels/remakes rank so far. Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre shook audiences in 1974 who were looking for the latest cinematic thrill ride. Loosely inspired by the crimes of notorious Wisconsin murderer Ed Gein, Hooper and cinematographer Daniel Pearl created an intense, though surprisingly restrained, film that helped influence an entire subgenre....

Then open the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device and select the Echo from the list. In my case, I am using an iPad mini. It should take less than a minute to pair, and when the connection is made, Alexa will say, “Connected to Bluetooth.” If using the app or web interface, go to Settings > your echo’s name > Bluetooth > Pairing Mode. In this example, I am using an HTC One (M8), so you get an idea of what it’s like on different devices....

American Airlines updated its app for iPhone and iPad today bringing an enhanced Passbook experience for digital boarding passes, improvements for AAdvantage account holders, and the ability to chat with the airline’s Twitter team. Perhaps the most notable update, and something British Airways announced it will be adding soon to its recently announced Passbook support, is the ability to view updates about departure times, gate and seat changes directly from your iOS device’s lock screen....

The American Horror Story series is massively controversial among horror fans. Some think it’s a great, campy exploration of the horror genre with enough comedy to entice a wider audience. Some think it’s an embarrassment to horror as a whole. Whatever your position on the show, the directors obviously love their classic horror. The Apocalypse season of the show especially loves to pay homage to it, so here are 10 times it does so....

Significant Affinity updates are landing today across the company’s Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on Mac, iPad, and Windows.

Earlier this year, Hollywood finally broke the curse of making terrible live-action adaptations of anime with Alita: Battle Angel – the American remake of Gunnm aka Battle Angel Alita. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, Alita: Battle Angel followed Alita’s rise from a forsaken robot to the greatest cyborg warrior of Iron City. Being an adaptation of both the manga and anime, Alita is overflowing with references and visual tributes to the beloved cult source material that many people would miss on their first viewing....

While past devices claiming to be internal iPhone prototypes have been pulled from listings, such a rare device sold for nearly $1,500 on eBay today from a seller based in the Australia called ‘applefancollector’. While the authenticity and how the seller acquired the device remains unclear, the non-standard iPhone software running on the device matches similar instances of such devices. I am selling a very rare original iPhone engineering prototype. These were used to test the iPhone’s various features....

At this point, Bryan Cranston is an A-lister, and one of the most respected actors currently plying his trade in Hollywood. It’s almost hard to remember that he spent the 1980s and 90s as a fairly anonymous TV journeyman, appearing on shows as diverse as Walker, Texas Ranger, The X-Files, and Seinfeld. It wasn’t until the 2000 debut of long-running FOX sitcom Malcolm in the Middle that Cranston gained widespread fame with the character of wacky dad Hal....
