There are different types of scary on Star Trek: there’s jump-out-of-your-skin scary, the kind that comes with aliens who prey on the crew, officers who turn into spiders, or zombie Vulcans with vendettas. Then there’s the more high-concept scary, where evil forces take over one of our favorite characters’ bodies, or an alien invades the crew’s dreams, making them afraid to go to sleep. The original list was so long that we had to remove some good ones, like “Remember Me,” where everyone Beverly Crusher knows starts disappearing from people’s memories, or “Voices,” when Deep Space Nine’s Miles O’Brien discovers there’s a conspiracy against him and everyone he knows appears to be part of it....

1Password passkeys functionality will launch next year, but to help people understand the benefits and prepare for a world without passwords, the company has put together an interactive demo. Although the company used for the demo is fictitious, you will create a real passkey which will be saved to your 1Password account … What are passkeys? Currently, to log in to a website or app, we usually enter a username and a password....

A flurry of users on Twitter and CNET report that the newest Mac Mini released last month is unable to update to the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion, 10.8.2. The update is unavailable through the App Store’s Software Update feature after Apple pulled it for an unknown reason on Friday. Additionally, users received an error when trying to install the update manually through the manual installer made available by Apple....

Power is important in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Uncle Ben’s mantra that “With great power comes great responsibility” has been the driving force behind the Avengers and the MCU’s superhero roster. In the MCU, heroes are defined by their powers and how they use them. However, this is a period of change for the MCU’s power dynamics. The introduction of Captain Marvel will likely unseat the characters that top this list, and the rumored introductions of the X-Men and the Fantastic Four will also change the hierarchy of the MCU....

When you think of the Syfy channel, images of cheesy monsters, and unoriginal plots probably come to mind. Or you think of the Sharknado franchise. The network has a major history of airing amazing television programs in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres. If there’s one channel that’s not afraid to try adapting a book or a movie into a series, it’s Syfy. On the other hand, since the network is steeped in the speculative categories, budgets can easily skyrocket because many scenes need CGI, unique costumes, or elaborate sets....

Iron Man is one of the most intelligent and high-powered superheroes in the Marvel Universe due to the ever adapting Iron Man suit. Though not always well liked amongst his peers or the world due to his prickly personality and somewhat lax ethical views in the pursuit of knowledge, no one can deny his genius. Tony applies that genius by continuing to alter his Iron Man suits and adapt them to combat the abilities of others in the event that he may fight them....

The biggest movie of the year, arguably the most anticipated movie of all-time going by pre-ticket sales, is now in theaters. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens not only extends the original saga, picking up the story threads from three decades ago but it relaunches the franchise that’ll continue going forward with annualized releases. And so far, it’s been a smashing success. We’re not here to talk about box office milestones, critical acclaim, and merchandise/licensing records though....

The Marvel film universe has grown ever since its inception over 20 years ago. That’s right, even though Marvel have been licensing its characters for many years, it was probably with 1998’s Blade that the superhero cinematic landscape truly got into form. Years later with Fox’s original X-Men film, the superhero genre grew even more populated and it was only a matter of time until these movies became blockbuster franchises, like Sony’s Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films....

Greatness is often spawned of humble beginnings, and it came as a major shock to fantasy fans the world over when a young, struggling, single mother from the United Kingdom managed to pen one of the most transformative, imaginative series of young adult novels in recent memory. J. K. Rowling is, of course, a world-renown best selling author these days for creating the Harry Potter series. However, not unlike the young orphan boy who’s story made her so famous, she spent many of her formative years in relative turmoil....

Every great superhero needs a supervillain. It’s comic book 101, the true test of greatness behind every caped crusader in (and outside of) the universe. Pixar’s The Incredibles(2004) even understood this step, identifying a dichotomy that’s crucial to the whole idea of being “super” in the first place. Without The Joker and Kingpin keeping them busy, heroes like Batman and Daredevil would simply be guys who like to dress up and beat people down at night – a lot less cool to watch, all things considered....

While a slasher film can definitely be scary, there’s something creepier about a story about the paranormal. Those who don’t believe in spirits might still jump at these types of horror movies since they’re all about a presence that can’t be seen but can be felt. There are many ways to approach this kind of story, but the main character is often looking into what’s going on, which allows audiences to root for them to figure it out before they meet a tragic end....

Since 1953, James Bond has been thwarting the villainous schemes of criminal masterminds all over the globe. To save the world, he does everything necessary and often falls into a moral grey area while doing so. He lies, steals, and regularly exercises his license to kill.

The most important thing for a secret agent to be aware of is the presence of cameras....

A report yesterday suggested that Apple has a 16-inch iPad in the works, which could be released late next year. It follows an earlier report of a 14-inch one. When we ran a poll back in 2018, almost half of you thought Apple should make a larger model. Getting more specific last year, even more wanted either a 14- or 16-inch iPad. Back when developer Steven Troughton-Smith made the case for a 14....

There’s good news and bad news about the new 16-inch MacBook Pro charger. The good news is that it’s the first one on the market to offer a new high-power charging standard that enables USB chargers to exceed 100W for the first time. The bad news is that the technology is so new that there isn’t yet a compatible USB-C cable. Update: The newness of the standard also means the USB-C ports aren’t compatible with it....

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans rejoice! FXX’s long-running comedy series has finally debuted its anticipated 12th season, and to surprisingly hilarious results. The mere fact that a show as comically twisted as this has lasted this long and remained just as fresh is nothing short of a miracle. For 11 seasons now, It’s Always Sunny has been constantly pushing the envelope when it comes to how depraved and politically incorrect they can get on television, picking up a sizable fan base along the way....
