Early impressions of the Apple Watch Series 10 have been mostly pretty positive. Not only does it have the largest display of any Apple Watch to date (despite the case size being smaller than the 49mm Ultra 2), it’s also lighter and thinner than before. The display isn’t just larger, it’s also brighter when viewed at an angle, and the always-on screen now updates every second when stationary (instead of once every minute as before).Aside from the updated display and some nifty new case options (the new polished titanium and jet black aluminum look pretty amazing), the Apple Watch also…

Image courtesy of IDW The first issue of the relaunched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles serialized series kicks off a new status quo with Raphael in prison, telling a darkly fascinating tale of the most hot-headed of the prison Turtles. The focus of this second issue is Michelangelo, but his current situation is exactly the same as Raphael’s. Mikey is the star of a kind of special effects show, but instead of a costumed superhero protagonist, he’s a living special effect at the center of the action. He’s a big star, but there’s a void in Mikey’s life, and despite his…

It looks like Marvel will be wrapping up the year with another preview one-shot for TIMESLIDE #1. Written by Steve Fox and drawn by Ivan Fiorelli, next year’s installment will take place in Marvel’s future in 2025, with updates gradually rolling out towards the end of the year.

Ultimate Ears has a history of making loud, rugged, portable Bluetooth speakers with features that simplify the listening experience. Their devices have always been among the best, with features like a party mode that supports over 100 speakers simultaneously and the ability to remotely power off the unit with your smartphone. UE’s new option, the Everboom ($250), sits in the middle of the lineup in terms of size and power. Ultimate Ears’ convenient features are back, but so is the company’s lack of clarity and fidelity.Ultimate YearsSmall enough to carry around, yet loud enough to get the party going, the…
With Fox News and even Republican leaders acknowledging that Vice President Kamala Harris won Tuesday night’s presidential debate, some supporters of former President Donald Trump are desperately seeking a modicum of solace: the predictable conspiracy theories.Over the past decade or so, a common theme among conservatives (but oddly enough, not Democrats) has been that their candidates’ opponents wore earphones during debates. This baseless accusation was hurled at President Joe Biden in 2020, Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Barack Obama in 2012. Each time, the theory was debunked.In Harris’ case, conspiracy theorists on X and other social media platforms claimed her…

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby issued a preliminary injunction blocking the state of Utah from restricting social media use by minors. Republican Governor Spencer Cox signed the Utah Social Media Minors Protection Act in early March. The law was set to take effect on October 1, but the court’s decision to block it marks a victory for Utah’s young social media users.This isn’t the first time Utah’s governor has tried to restrict social media use among young people in the state. Last year, the governor signed two bills that required parental permission for teenagers to create social media…
