Though it premiered less than a month ago, Netflix’s first music reality show Rhythm + Flow, is already one of the best things on television. As the first show of its kind on a streaming service, the program delivered a unique mix of A-list celebrity judges, real emcee challenges, and the highest-caliber rap talent in America. Presided over by trap godfather T.I, indie rapper Chance, and New York rapper and actor, Cardi B, the series has already been lauded as “hip-hop’s answer to American Idol....

Never Talk To Strangers marked the end of Hollywood’s brief but passionate affair with erotic thrillers in the 1990s. While the 1980s featured several erotic thrillers like Body Heat and 9½ Weeks, it wasn’t really until the success of Basic Instinct in 1992 that Hollywood realized the box-office potential of the genre. Paul Verhoeven’s controversial thriller was a very steamy update on noir thrillers of the 1940s, and the film would defy expectations by grossing over $350 million worldwide....

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_rLITnBzvk] A brand new app created by three 2013 WWDC student scholarship winners— Nick Frey, Chris Galzerano, and Veeral Patel—launched on the App Store earlier this month. The app is called Audibly, and it allows users to stream music from one device to any others nearby. The music plays in sync across all devices, allowing everyone to listen in on the same playlist. The app is fairly straightfoward. You simply pick a playlist to share, pair with a few nearby iOS devices, and hit play....

A reliable source of Android Police has leaked the specs of the upcoming Nexus 5 handset from LG. The source claims that the handset will come with a 5.2-inch LCD with Full HD resolution. Internally, the device will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 808 chipset and will also feature 3GB RAM. Sadly, Google and LG will only be offering the handset in 16GB and 32GB storage variants. Being a Nexus, it is unlikely that the handset will come with a microSD card slot, so the lack of a higher storage option might be a bummer for many....

The Guardians of the Galaxy movies made one version of Nebula famous, but the tortured and terrifying daughter of Thanos is about to have her own story told in the pages of her own comic miniseries. And from the looks of it, Nebula will be changing more than her hairstyle when the series begins this February. Even introducing Nebula as a clear villain, the Marvel movies couldn’t help but offer understanding and empathy, to the point that audiences might be split on whether Nebula is a hero or villain at all....

We’ve known for some time that Apple along with the other tech giants have been on the European Commission’s “hit list” of companies it wants to regulate more tightly. Now, new legislation has been proposed in the EU that could mean serious changes to how Apple runs the App Store and its preinstalled, first-party apps. Reported by CNBC, the executive branch of the EU, the European Commission just introduced new legislation aimed at the tech giants that could potentially be voted on and approved soon....

The New models from Mitsubishi are also vulnerable to hacking and can be controlled Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA), one of the engineering professors from the university of Phillippines comments in an interview that they are experimenting with new models of vehicles whether they also came with same defects.

Following the renders of the LG G6 leaking yesterday, @Onleaks has now posted renders of the handset based on its CAD data. The renders give us a clear look at the design of the G6, which clearly seems to be based on the G5. The renders show LG retaining the dual camera setup on the G6, with the fingerprint sensor located below it. However, the fingerprint sensor lacks a hump this time around despite the power button being integrated into it....

According to sources, a KGI analyst report, and leaked parts, Apple’s next MacBook Pro will feature an OLED capacitive touch panel that replaces the fn-key row. Such a change has been hotly debated online, with opponents lamenting the potential lack of tactile response for touch typing, and proponents salivating over the type of software flexibility that such a setup might offer. Needless to say, the feature would bring the most significant change to Apple’s laptop line that we’ve seen in quite some time....

Ahead of Apple’s apparent October event to show off its upcoming “iPad mini,” two reports are showing physical mockups of the device. These mockups appear to both be identical to the iPad mini design information and previously leaked iPad design schematics that we reported on. The smaller iPad physical shown above comes by way of Apple.Pro, and it is sourced from online commerce website Taobao. The physical mockups show the skinnier side bezels – that we previously reported on – in addition to a very-thin design, a smaller dock connector and more....

Unfortunately, early adopters of the Pixel 4 discovered a software flaw during Google’s demonstration. The facial recognition engine of the Pixel 4 is missing a critical security feature found on competitors like the iPhone. Without this security measure, anyone with physical access to the device has a shot at unlocking it, as long as you’re nearby and unaware. If you’re thinking about picking up the Google Pixel 4 as your next handset, here’s why you might want to wait for the phone to get its first security patch....

Apple’s new 16-inch MacBook Pro is easy to recommend for replacing a MacBook Pro from 2015 or earlier. It has a reliable keyboard (unlike 2016 to 2019 15.4-inch models), significantly better microphones and speakers, and a more immersive display. But unlike MacBook Pros from a few years ago, the new 16-inch MacBook Pro has the same (lack of) ports as recent MacBook Pros. The good news is the market for adapters and cables has expanded over the last four years, and there are plenty of must-have accessories for professionals....

The option for recording calls on Truecaller needs to be enabled inside the settings. There’s a new “Call Recording” menu which lets you turn the feature on and even specify whether you’d like to manually begin the tapping for each call. The recordings can be found through a new option in the navigation bar located on the left edge. Sadly, though, call recording is part of the company’s Premium subscription....

On its Kickstarter page, Nextbit wrote: Nextbit is likely prioritizing the GSM variant of the Robin because it’s more widely used worldwide, because they started on that version first. The GSM variant will ship beginning February 16 to the first 1,000 backers, then to everyone else who pre-ordered the device. The CDMA Robin wasn’t in development until we saw your response on Kickstarter, we got a little carried away in the excitement of the campaign....
