There is no denying what a huge hit Netflix’s Love is Blind is with reality TV fans. The biggest surprise though is that it was filmed all the way back in 2018. Love is Blind followed singles as they met anonymously in individual pods where they were unable to see one another. The idea being, of course, that they would connect without physical appearance playing a factor. Fans were brought along on this journey as each single narrowed his or her potential matches down and had more in-depth conversations and longer dates in the pods until some decided to get engaged....

You need to collect and analyze data to get into the customers’ minds. This way, you can get insights into what your target audience wants, allowing you to create marketing campaigns that work. While various applications allow you to capture and store data, it is equally important to use those data sets accurately. That is where most businesses rely on the Structured Query Language (SQL), a programming language developed in the 1970s....

Apple currently sells more “laptop” than “desktop” Macs, but in reality, most Macs will be used substantially on flat surfaces — desks, tables, and sometimes nightstands. iPads are more lap-friendly, but also tend to get used upright, particularly for watching videos and access in the kitchen. Since I’ve spent a lot of time testing Apple device stands and mounts, I wanted to share what I’ve learned with you, so you can choose the solution that best suits your Mac, iPad, or both at the same time....

Oh yeah, Google Apps! Google has been beating the “Go Google” war drums for the last 2 years and after using the service myself for almost that long, I figure it’s probably about time I write a few groovyPost’s about the service explaining how it works and why you, a small to medium sized business might want to check it out before you hire that kid from the local college to maintain your IT department....

HBO’s adaptation of His Dark Materials features a world with some disturbing social issues and unique reality of souls outside of bodies. People’s behavior changes when they can see for a fact that they have souls. It’s interesting to see these out-of-body souls arguing with their humans in the show. And the shapes of the souls can be a tip-off about the human’s personality. Some complex characters live in this world and deal with unusual ethical questions....

Apple’s Spring Loaded event is set for tomorrow, April 20, and we’re expecting to see new iPad Pro models and more. While Apple often introduces new hardware at the same price points as the outgoing devices, we’ve just seen a report that claims the 2021 iPad Pro models could land with price bumps. How much more would you be willing to pay for the 2021 iPad Pro? After the 2020 iPad Air debuted last year with the newer A14 chip, support for the Magic Keyboard, second-gen Apple Pencil, and more at a starting price $200 below the 2020 11-inch iPad Pro, the value proposition on the latter became more questionable....

After three seasons of alien teen drama, the original Roswell series came to a close – here’s how season 3 episode 18 ended the series. Roswell was recently rebooted by The CW as Roswell, New Mexico which – like the original series – was adapted from the young adult book series Roswell High by author Melinda Metz. Unlike the original series, the characters in Roswell, New Mexico are in their late twenties rather than their teens, but the changes don’t seem to have hurt the reboot which is expected to air its second season in 2020....

Centuries before the events of Game Of Thrones, House Targaryen and the rest of the Dragonlords from Old Valyria ruled a vast empire. The Valyrian Freehold ranged from Dragonstone to the Free Cities, and across Essos to Slaver’s Bay. The silver-haired, purple-eyed dragonriders overthrew the Ghiscari Empire and conquered their enemies in battle by raining fire and blood from the skies. Dragons were instrumental in the Valyrian wars, as well as Aegon’s conquest of Westeros....

When Showtime’s Homeland first premiered back in 2011, it was met with rapturous critical acclaim, and quickly assembled a dedicated group of fans. Stars Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin, and Damian Lewis were all on the receiving end of awards attention for their performances as two dedicated, investigative CIA operatives and a former soldier who came back from the war after spending years being tortured and imprisoned in Afghanistan. Since the series’ first, tense season, however, Homeland’s critical attention and acclaim only seemed to decrease with each passing season, plateauing especially in its much-maligned third season....

It has been one of the turns off for those who wish to buy an iPhone but don’t because it has a poor battery life while Android has a mixed bag of beans with many smartphones having poor to great battery life. But doesn’t matter if it’s great, what happens what the battery starts to drain quickly, people start searching for the charger to juice up the battery....

Fans may not know Superman died in order to do what everyone desires most: cancel plans. In 1992, DC Comics famously killed Superman in the riveting Superman #75, which portrayed his death inflicted by Doomsday through stunning single-panel pages. The issue, since then becoming quite iconic, was actually an idea to postpone Lois Lane and Clark Kent’s wedding in reaction to a Superman television series that was in the works that largely focused on the couple....

John Carpenter’s 1982 The Thing is widely regarded as the best, though it was not the first; even so, another remake is coming from Blumhouse Productions and Universal, for better or for worse. The first adaptation of the movies’ source material, Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell Jr., was made in 1951 with The Thing From Another World. However, the novella hit major acclaim and a permanent space in most horror fans’ best-of lists when Halloween’s own John Carpenter took it on over thirty years later....

It’s long been taken as read that high tech company salaries push up housing costs in the surrounding areas, but the WSJ commissioned home tracking company Zillow to provide some hard data. By tracking the increase in values of homes owned by Apple employees, it was able to prove that home values in those areas rose further and faster than in surrounding areas with similar demographics. The piece notes that zoning laws and regulatory red tape also have a significant effect, by limiting the supply of housing at a time when demand is increasing, but the comparison does suggest that there is a direct link to tech companies like Apple....

Spotify’s chief legal officer Horacio Gutierrez has said that he likes Apple products but considers the company a disingenuous bully. Gutierrez made the remarks in an op-ed in the WSJ, and in an interview with The Verge … Gutierrez has been accused of hypocrisy for attacking Apple while using the company’s products, but said in the WSJ last month that there was no contradiction between the two. He has now echoed these comments in an interview in The Verge, additionally accusing Apple of being disingenuous in claiming that it has no idea how much money the App Store makes....

The Motorola Razr foldable phone might be even less durable than first expected. This is one of a new breed of smartphones thanks to the inclusion of a foldable display. While these phones are now starting to hit the market, there’s been concerns raised over how well a bendable display can hold up over time and repeat use. The Moto Razr, like the Galaxy Z Flip, and the Huawei Mate X, all feature displays that bend or fold in one way or another....

The new units pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipwith the company’s 7th Gen AI Engine, Cortex-X2 CPU Architecture, and built-in 5G support. Honor claims this will provide 20% faster CPU performance and 30% increased GPU performance over the previous generation. Both the Honor Magic4 and Magic4 Pro will include 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. All of this hardware will be further enhanced by Honor’s “Turbo Engines,” a framework of software features designed to optimize the included hardware across functions such as gaming, power consumption, AI processing and more....

January has seemed like the longest month ever, and especially for horror fans, who are quick to lament about 2020 horror movies being dead in the water before the year has even gotten started. While there have been quite a few offerings for wide release horror films in January 2020, such as The Grudge, Underwater, The Turning, and Gretel & Hansel, none of them have gotten off to a particularly strong start....
