J.D. Power is releasing its first study of customer satisfaction among streaming music services today and in it ranks Apple Music above the competition. Apple comes out on top because 35% of Apple Music subscribers in the study say they are strongly committed to the streaming service. That’s versus 30% for Google Play Music and Spotify, and 28% for the industry average: Apple Music is nearly always used on Apple devices, and the service performs highest in overall satisfaction in part because of the halo effect stemming from the brand’s ecosystem....

Right. Unless of course, someone used a time machine to visit artist Umberto Romano and showed him a smartphone while he was painting this image. Yeah, that theory sounds a little crazy to me too! But some people are saying this painting is evidence of time travel! What do you think? Take a look at the photo below and focus on the Native American in the middle, foreground who is looking at something in his hand....

Ismael Cruz Cordova has appeared in television, film, and on Broadway. Born in Puerto Rico, he brought his native heritage and Spanish language to Sesame Street as the character Mando. He has also appeared on television shows like The Good Wife, Ray Donovan, and Berlin Station. His latest project is the action-thriller Miss Bala, which also stars Gina Rodriguez and Anthony Mackie. Screen Rant: Congratulations on the film. This is an amazing, amazing job....

We were skeptical yesterday about the apparent rollout of iTunes Match internationally, and now it looks like our suspicions are being confirmed with GigaOM and others reporting that users across Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada (everywhere except the U.S. and Brazil) are being told by Apple that the service “will not function”. As you can see from the email posted by a Twitter user who contacted iTunes support, refunds are being issued within 5-7 days, and many other Twitter users are reporting the same (here and here)....

Sony’s 2013 product portfolio is a hodgepodge of letters that doesn’t really make sense to anyone, but if you focus on the company’s flagship devices, then things start looking a little bit clearer. At the start of the year, there was the Xperia Z and the Xperia ZL. Same phone, for all intents and purposes, except one was made of glass while the other was made of plastic. Then there was the Z1 and Z Ultra....

Most users are still in denial that such a product will never be made by Microsoft, while others have started to rush to different stores in the hope to find the same consoles. This begs the question – Is Xbox Series Z Portable Handheld Game Console Real?

After a decade-long break from the franchise, Jackie Chan has confirmed that Rush Hour 4 is finally moving forward. The original Rush Hour was the Asian superstar’s breakthrough film in the U.S., and the story found Chan’s Hong Kong cop teaming up with Chris Tucker fast-talking U.S. detective to solve a kidnapping. The plot was nothing special, but Chan’s action skills combined with Tucker’s comic relief made for a hit film at the box office....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsGWr0ZFFVU&feature=youtu.be As the second Apple event this fall, the Cupertino-company will likely use the smaller, home court stage to debut updates to its iPad and Mac lines. We’re expecting new versions of the iPad Air and the iPad mini. The new Air will be slightly thinner, but come with a more efficient (and slightly snappier) A8 processor, new M8 chip from the iPhone 6, Touch ID, enhanced camera features, an improved screen design, and, of course, a gold color option....

Both Indian smartphone and Chinese smartphone manufacturers have used their own set of disruptive techniques to capture the smartphone market share. Indian smartphone manufacturers started out by contacting several ODMs in China which mass-produced smartphones with certain specifications and these phones were then sold in India by Indian OEMs under their brand name. By all accounts, Indian smartphone manufacturers never did much of R&D or manufacturing in the past, and their focus mainly was on marketing the products and setting up distribution....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for the IT novel and possibly IT Chapter Two. What happened to Richie Tozier in Stephen King’s 1986 horror novel, IT?

Actor Bill Hader plays the older version of the character in Muschietti’s sequel, IT Chapter Two. Richie was the most light-hearted member of the Losers’ Club.

According to Mehdi Hosseini, an analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group, Samsung has been holding private meetings with investors during the past few weeks to “temper” their Galaxy S4 shipment expectations. The definition of “temper”, as a verb, is “to make more acceptable.” So what sort of numbers are we talking about here? Analysts used to think that Samsung would sell 25 million GS4 units in Q3 and then an additional 30 million in Q4....

The game featured a storyline that bridged the gap between Return Of The Jedi and The Force Awakens, but is Star Wars Battlefront 2 canon? The first Expanded Universe Star Wars novel came in the form of Alan Dean Foster’s Splinter Of The Mind’s Eye. The story involved Luke and Leia crashlanding on a swampy planet whilst being hunted by Darth Vader. This story was originally conceived by George Lucas as a potential low-budget sequel to the original movie in case it underperformed, which would allow him to reuse props and shoot on a soundstage....

Here’s a breakdown of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Lethal Weapon 6. The original Lethal Weapon arrived in 1987 and starred Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as two mismatched partners investigating a murder that puts them on the trail of vicious drug dealers. The chemistry between Glover and Gibson combined with the witty script and fast-moving action made it a runaway success. Lethal Weapon 2 quickly followed in 1989, which toned down the darker edges of the original while keeping the same blend of quips and action....

Apple officially opened up the iTunes Store and iTunes Match in 12 new Asian countries late last month, bringing the total to 155 countries worldwide. Perhaps the most notable addition was Hong Kong. Apple said at the time that the local stores would include “an incredible selection of local and international music from all the major labels and thousands of independent labels,” but many Chinese users are disgruntled with the method Apple is using to translate the titles and descriptions of some content in the store....

Jack Black and Jack White unite for a Jack Gray collaboration. Fans of Jack Black will certainly be familiar with his lengthy resume of comedy hits, particularly his most recent role in the Jumanji franchise as Bethany/Professor Sheldon Oberon. However, aside from his acting ability, Black has also long made up half of the comedic musical duo Tenacious D. Together with fellow actor Kyle Gass, the band has released four full length studio albums, toured extensively and even released a film based on the band’s fictionalized exploits, 2006’s Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny....

Supernatural seems to have found a way around the problem of Jack’s overpowered nephilim abilities - by turning him into a villain. The addition of Alexander Calvert to the Supernatural family as Jack, the half-human son of Lucifer, has been integral to the show’s recent storylines. Well-received by Supernatural’s passionate fan base, the introduction of Jack has allowed the leading trio of Sam, Dean, and Castiel to exhibit their parental qualities for the first time adding touches of humor, youth and innocence to the more jaded and scarred residents of the Bunker....
