The latest cinematic take on the legend of King Arthur is due to hit cinemas this May, as Guy Ritchie brings his unique style to the classic myth. King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword, which stars Charlie Hunnam as the potential king, has been pushed back from its original release date in March, prompting some fans to wonder about how much faith Warner Bros. has in the project. It’s a bit of a gamble, given the past failures of King Arthur movies, but having big names like Richie and Hunnam on this project may well be enough to make it a success....

Apple hasn’t officially named the next major version of macOS just yet, but we’ll likely see it debut at WWDC 2017 on June 5 in San Jose. Last year Apple used the conference to shift the name from OS X to macOS — matching the three other platforms including iOS, watchOS, and tvOS — but the version number continued from 10.11 to 10.12. While Apple could take this year as the opportunity to jump to macOS 11 and start a new era, one sign discovered by the always detailed blog Pike’s Universum suggests Apple will continue with macOS 10....

Construction of Apple’s second retail store in Taiwan may be well underway, new photos show. The country’s first official Apple store opened in the Taipei 101 skyscraper last June with 130 employees. Images documenting the construction of Taipei’s massive Far Eastern Xinyi Shopping Mall posted on the Taiwan City Forum depict a sleek, low-profile structure located on a highly visible lot directly in front of the towering new mall. With curved glass walls, a polished, gently sloping roof nearly identical in style to Apple Michigan Avenue, and an interior structure closely resembling that of Apple Park’s Visitor Center, the structure bears all the familiar design characteristics of a modern Apple store....

The season 1 finale of Netflix’s Ragnarok series brings the conflict between Magne (David Stakston) and the Jutuls to a head in a dramatic final battle, but a sudden cliffhanger ending prevents the season from providing much closure for its biggest storylines. The Norwegian fantasy teen drama Ragnarok tells the story of Magne, an awkward high school student who is given the powers of the Norse god, Thor. After investigating the mysterious death of his friend Isolde (Ylva Bjørkaas Thedin), Magne quickly finds himself thrust into a struggle with the Jutuls, a family of immortal beings called the Giants who have been enemies of Thor and the Gods since ancient times....

Back in season 1 of You, Penn Badgely (who you just can’t help but think of as Dan from Gossip Girl) played Joe, a psychopathic stalker with a tendency towards killing his obsession, Guinevere Beck. He ended up creating a stalker/tracking system (…Gossip Girl…) and did end up killing Beck, as well as Shay Mitchell’s character Peach. Now that season 2 is just around the corner, we can examine the trailer to see just what we have learned, where Joe is these days, and what might happen in the sequel....

Netflix is making good on its promise to offer more interactive television content with the interactive teaser trailer for You vs. Wild, starring Bear Grylls. The latest addition to Netflix’s enormous library of original programming follows in the footsteps of the not-so surprisingly popular Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, which took the usual gloomy, technophobic world of Charlie Brooker’s anthology series and put the direction of the feature-length episode’s storyline into the hands of those watching at home — provided they were doing so on an appropriate device, of course....

The Samsung Galaxy S10 lineup is going to be revealed on February 20. Until then, the rumor mill is hard at work on revealing everything it can. At this point, that involves a lot of early pictures of the upcoming handsets. This time it’s the standard Galaxy S10, which you can tell from the smaller, circular cutout in the display’s top-right corner. That’s the “Infinity-O” hole-punch design. It’s a bit different than the other hole-punch design we’ve seen from Samsung with the upcoming Galaxy S10+ for instance, which will boast a more pill-shaped cutout in the display’s corner....

So, how does the Nexus 6 compare to other phablets out there in the market including the iPhone 6 Plus from Apple? Check out our specs comparison below to find out....

Netflix has supported downloading movies and TV shows for offline viewing on iOS for a while now, but the process has been a bit manual.

If confirmed, the ruling will be an important one for Apple, which Tim Cook has described as the next China....

NBA 2K20, the latest in the annual basketball franchise from publisher 2K, came out late last week and it’s already getting review bombed by users on Steam and Metacritic. That makes it the third year in a row that the series’ latest entry has received overwhelmingly negative user scores, with NBA 2K17 being the last release to get even a marginal rating. Examples of review bombing in games can be found going back to the early 2010s, but the phenomenon seemed to really take off starting around 2015 when Bethesda introduced paid mods into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim....
