Out of all the families on Modern Family, the original Pritchetts are seen to have a special bond. Over 12 years, fans have watched as Jay, Mitchell, and Claire have become more open and kinder to each other as the show has progressed. Near the beginning, Jay would offend his kids with his outdated beliefs and aloof behavior as it would often lead to a strain in his relationships. However, Claire and Mitchell weren’t the perfect children either as the two would often get themselves into trouble that forced Jay to bail them out....

Once upon a time, Marvel heroes existed to combat the violent people of the world. Well…we suppose they still do, but the shortcut to our point here is that there are quite a few modern superheroes who are just as violent as the villains they war against. While your average Marvel hero rarely resorts to violence that goes beyond a well-placed punch to the jaw, sometimes, circumstances arise that call for a hero that’s willing to go a step further....

The quote appears in a Fortune analysis of the company’s history and current prospects. Spotify is pinning its hopes on its diversification into podcasting, and emerging markets. As one music industry exec with continued ties to the company puts it: “Spotify is one fail away from becoming less relevant.” But the company is behind Apple Music in that international expansion: Spotify is in 79 markets, Apple more than 110. “Japan has been a very physical market,” she says....

I then proceeded to the RIM 850 (the DataTac version of the Mobitex-based RIM 950), then the 857, and then to the first real RIM Smartphone, the RIM 5810/5820. I’ve had BlackBerrys attached to my hip since 1999 and for a very long time, lived and breathed the BlackBerry mantra. It was the king of the space; in fact I think it led to the trend of actually using mobile data....

MySpace have been forced to apologize after accidentally deleting around 12 years worth of content. Long ago, before social media became embroiled in political debate and was accused of influencing democratic elections, were the (mostly) innocent days of MySpace. A predecessor to Facebook and Twitter, MySpace was a place for selfies, discovering new bands and trading pic comments with friends, at a time when nobody had heard of “bots” or given a second thought to Dumbledore’s sexuality....

I left my MacBook Air perched on the armrest of the sofa. I turned to my right to grab a drink. I turned back to my left. Down went the MacBook Air. It landed on the base of a standing lamp. I picked it up. I carried on working. Hey, it was Thanksgiving Day; what was I supposed to do? Later that day, I was done. With something approaching ceremony, I shut my MacBook Air....

As the saying goes, love hurts. In horror movies, heartbreak can have both physical and emotional consequences, and the results can be a bloody mess. Often, characters in these films realize their dates or love interests aren’t who they claim to be, and the lies go far beyond the normal ones people tell to impress their crushes. The bad dates on this list have a lot of skeletons in their closets....

Several brand-new iPad and iPhone accessories I’ve been testing recently aren’t necessarily worthy of full standalone reviews, but because they come from some of our readers’ and editors’ favorite companies, they’re still worth knowing about. Four of the five are sequels to prior products I’ve covered, while one is totally new — though similar to an earlier design. Today, I’m taking a quick look at Anker’s PowerCore+ 10050 ($33) and PowerPort 2 ($14), Just Mobile’s AluPlug ($30), and Mophie’s “new” Powerstation 2X ($60) and Powerstation 8X ($150)....

Misfit, the company co-founded by John Scully, this evening has officially taken the wraps off its Shine 2 wearable. The device offers a fully designed look with a handful of new functionalities, as well. The original Misfit Shine was revealed over two years ago, so today’s refresh is definitely welcomed as a lot has changed in the wearable industry since 2013. Misfit says that the Shine 2 offers highly improved activity and sleep tracking thanks to a 3-axis accelerometer paired with a new 3-axis magnetometer....

French site Nowhereelse has posted what it claims are more leaked photos from China of casings for the long-rumored plastic iPhone. We’re not entirely convinced these are the real deal and not just clones made based off of plastic iPhone rumors stretching back months. While the colors are broadly consistent with those of the iPod touch/nano, and we’d expect to see differences between metal and plastic, those colors look rather garish even allowing for the poor lighting....

The X-Men are coming to the MCU eventually, but in the short-term that means fewer movies starring mutants. With the Disney-Fox acquisition, the rights to the X-Men (along with the Fantastic Four) have moved to Marvel Studios, meaning the Fox X-Men movie series is winding down and will soon end, with the possible exception of Deadpool. The MCU is currently in a state of transition, as Avengers: Endgame has drastically changed the line-up of the heroes and has permanently altered the setting....

While all of last year’s iPhones got support for the more common sub-6GHz form of 5G, the much faster mmWave 5G iPhones were limited to US models only. But that may be set to change this year. Background We’ve previously outlined the two main types of 5G … Only US iPhone 12 Pro models support mmWave 5G, likely because of the added expense for Apple. The module supporting both 5G variants costs Apple around $50 more than the pure sub-6GHz one....
