In the land of opportunity, nothing is more exciting than watching people try to make their wildest dreams become a reality. And no show is better for that than America’s Got Talent. In recent years, the show put in a new gimmick called the Golden Buzzer, which allows the judges to single-handedly put someone through, if they think they’re particularly special. It has made for some magical moments, and on the other hand, some moments that not everyone agreed on....

In season 1, Shadow Moon (Whittle) was released from his prison sentence to some devastating news: his wife, Laura (Emily Browning) had been killed in a car accident while cheating on him with his best friend. With the life that he’d planned to return to gone, Shadow was left without a clear path ahead - that is, until he met a mysterious stranger calling himself Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane). Hired as a bodyguard for Wednesday, Shadow discovered that all of the old gods that America’s various immigrants over thousands of years had brought to its shores are still hanging around, though their powers are diminished due to a lack of worshipers....

At last, new AirPods have arrived! That’s great news for early adopters who have experienced serious battery life degradation like me. If you have a fresh pair of the original AirPods, you can probably sit this version out for now. The differences in features aren’t night and day, but there’s also never been a better time to buy AirPods if you’ve been undecided about the purchase. The new AirPods are just as great as the originals — you just have to decide between the classic wired or new wireless charging case....

The battle between the FBI and Apple over the San Bernardino iPhone may (for now) be long over, but one question remained: just how much did the FBI pay a third-party company to access the device? Despite releasing 100 pages of documents in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the government said that the sum paid would remain classified. It stuck by this even after three news organizations took the agency to court, revealing only that it was ‘less than a million‘ dollars....

Alan Menken is a legend when it comes to movie musicals. He’s been involved with properties ranging from Little Shop of Horrors to most of your favorite Disney movies from the 90s and beyond. When Disney decided to add a new song to their live-action version of Aladdin, there was really only one choice. They had to bring Alan Menken back.

One of the things that no one has really talked about much on the Android platform is the limit of installing apps to the internal storage (news to us), and not on the external Flash micro SD cards. Apple allows you to install apps on the 8-64GB of storage that comes along with the iPhone/iPod Touch platform. AndroidandMe exposes this significant issue with the Google OS: The Droid ships with a 512 MB ROM which contains only 256 MB available for app storage....

Long before messaging apps and their web clients came into existence, Google Hangouts has been the most sought application. This app enables video calling for conferencing, personal use, meetings, etc. Due to the Corona pandemic, offices have been replaced with work from home.

When the TV adaptation of The Boys begins, it’s clear that the group are a mostly amateur, ragtag bunch of anti-supe oddballs. Butcher, Frenchie and Mother’s Milk were brought together by Mallory to police superheroes, but it seems their impact diminished once those official ties to the U.S. government dissolved, effectively leaving the trio out in the cold. Additionally, the Boys have yet to meet the Female, who they find imprisoned and being pumped with Compound V in the TV series....

After Life was one of the best shows that Netflix produced last year, and it was a real return to the top table for Ricky Gervais, who has been able to produce a series of classics throughout the course of his career. Now, one of the biggest questions of all is whether or not they can follow up with a strong second season. While there hasn’t been an official release date as of yet, we’d guess that it’ll appear on our screens before the end of 2020....

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has for some time been the show most connected to the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe. Due to its ties to both the MCU and Marvel comics themselves, there’s been plenty of opportunities to add interesting supporting characters. Sometimes these characters are not given enough time to be fully developed however. They can be rushed in their arcs, killed off suddenly or, can disappear altogether without any explanation. Here’s 10 characters we think deserve more screen time on the show....
