Bananas have a heart rate according to the Apple Watch. While smartwatches have become popular solutions for measuring and monitoring health-related aspects, they are prone to mistakes and misreadings at times. When taking the Apple Watch out of the equation, smartwatch sales are not quite as healthy as they probably should be. The same is not quite the case with fitness bands and trackers which continue to dominate the market, and especially thanks to globally popular products from Xiaomi and Huawei....

We spend a lot of our time browsing the internet and using different applications on our Windows devices. So Microsoft has built-in App & Browser Control in Windows Security to protect users from potentially harmful downloads, websites, or files. Having this particular Windows security feature working in the background ensures you do not need to worry about encountering any malicious files on the internet. There are several specific features included under App & Browser Control by Microsoft, making up for a secure browsing experience in Microsoft Edge....

In a recent mini-documentary, Hideo Kojima confirmed that his video game production studio will one day make movies, too. The announcement may not come as a surprise to Kojima’s many fans. His games are highly cinematic, and he has a strong penchant for casting movie actors in his games. Kojima is one of the most prolific and famous game directors in the world. In his 30 years with the game studio Konami, he directed 13 different games including all Metal Gear Solid releases....

When Harry and Ginny started dating and became a couple in Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, many fans were excited about this development, while others were not. While the relationship wasn’t built up that much in previous books, at least not from Harry’s perspective, there were things about this pairing that made a lot of sense. On the other hand, many people felt like the relationship with Harry wasn’t built up enough and that it didn’t do Ginny as a character enough justice....

Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone was the first of eight films in the Potter franchise and it blew us away when it first hit theaters in 2001. We were thrilled to follow Harry Potter’s journey as he first set eyes on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and as he made friends that would last throughout his lifetime. Some scenes made the film an instant classic while others brought it down a notch....

Harry Potter featured a number of magical creatures and beings taken from folklore all over the world, such as werewolves and elves, and J.K. Rowling made sure she added one of the most famous (and beloved) beings in pop culture: vampires, although they didn’t have a big role in the series. J.K. Rowling introduced readers all over the world to her very own Wizarding World in 1997 with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the first entry in a series that came to an end in 2007 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with a total of seven books....

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOO3EZ8Fy6U&feature=youtu.be] Nokia is going after iPhone and Android owners with its new Smartphonebetatest.com campaign starring former Saturday Night Live star Chris Parnell. While the “beta” name certainly rings Android devices, it seems that Nokia is hitting at iPhone owners too.

Hannibal season 1 episode 3 saw the cannibal psychiatrist become a killer mentor. Brian Cox first played Hannibal Lecter in Michael Mann’s cult thriller Manhunter in 1986. Hannibal only appears in a few scenes but Cox’s chilling, low-key turn left an impression. Of course, it was Anthony Hopkin’s scene-chewing performance that made the character an icon following The Silence Of The Lambs. Audiences were eager to see more of the good doctor but it took author Thomas Harris time to pen the next journey....

Harry Potter is a series that has created a rabid fandom. And as such, that means that there are countless memes being created basically every day. After all, this is fandom voracious and observant. It seems like every element of the world has been picked apart through memes, from the Hogwarts houses to the characters, and everything in between. On that note; let’s talk about Ravenclaws. Ravenclaws are said to be witty and wise and are generally known to be bookish....

Have you and your local group of fellow Gryffindors ever been hanging out together and wondering what television shows you all might enjoy? Of course, you haven’t, because that’s not a thing people do; however, if it were, there are certainly a variety of different shows that the golden lions could indulge on. It’s hard to narrow down a show’s precise sorting when it comes to which house they’d attend at Hogwarts since, ultimately, a show has to have a whole different array of characters and story-lines to appeal to a wider audience....

Nobody other than J.K.Rowling knows the exact number of students that have made their way through the halls of Hogwarts through the centuries. Dozens upon hundreds of new students enroll in the school annually as a pack of baby-faced eleven-year-olds make their way down the Great Hall at the beginning of each year to face the Sorting Hat. With that many students attending a wizarding school for over a millennium, and having only four different houses to sort the children into, it’s only natural to wonder where some of our favorite witches and wizards may have ended up if not in the houses we know them for....

While the app doesn’t sound immediately useful, there are situations where it may be. For instance, not everyone has 10GB of free space on their iPhone. Many of us have a 16GB model, and 1-2GB to spare. Obviously, we can’t record an endless chunk of audio. Now, this may not grab a full conversation, but it will grab that last five minutes, and that’s the idea. If someone says something that you didn’t expect and you later want or need a record of that, it’s now recorded....

WARNING: Spoilers for Hellboy 2019 ahead. Hellboy 2019’s ending introduces its version of Abe Sapien to the new movie universe. The movie comes to a close with Hellboy (David Harbour), Alice Monaghan (Sasha Lane) and Daimio (Daniel Dae Kim) on a new mission for the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense where they come across a very important new team member. Before getting to the final scene, though, there’s the newly-established status quo to deal with....

As the first iMac Pros shipped to customers last week, we also saw the first set of space gray accessories hit eBay at 50% of the cost of the base $5,000 machine itself. That listing ultimately proved to be unrealistic and didn’t quite fetch two and a half grand, but others are still selling for a hefty premium… The first eBay listing for the space gray set of Magic Keyboard, Mouse, and Trackpad at $2,500 certainly tested the limits of what consumers would pay for accessories that only come with the iMac Pro....

Apple last month officially rolled out support for universal app purchases between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One of the latest apps to take advantage of this functionality is Highlights, a powerful research-focused PDF reader. Highlights has been available on the Mac for years, but alongside Apple’s support for cross-platform universal purchases, the app is also now available on iPhone and iPad for the first time. What this means is that one payment unlocks Highlights on iPhone, iPad, Mac....

What happened to Jennifer Morrison’s How I Met Your Mother character Zoey after her relationship with Ted ended? Zoey Pierson was one of Ted Mosby’s many girlfriends before he eventually settled down with the titular mystery mother and – according to many members of the How I Met Your Mother fandom – she was one of the worst too. Nevertheless, Zoey was an integral part of the show during its sixth season....

Here what makes the Heat: Director’s Definitive Edition so definitive. Michael Mann is best known for being an expert director of thrillers, including 1986’s Manhunter - which marked the screen debut of Hannibal Lecter as played by Brian Cox - The Insider and Collateral. His one and only diversion into horror was 1983’s The Keep, his second movie. The Keep found a group of Nazi soldiers trapped inside an ancient keep with a demon, but while it’s considered a cult gem now, it was brutally recut by the studio without Mann’s input and he seems reluctant to discuss the movie nowadays....

A Microsoft executive has explained the thought process behind what’s added to the Xbox Game Pass library, and it’s all about variety and fun. The Xbox Game Pass service is a Microsoft-run subscription that allows players unlimited access to a large number of titles for a recurring fee. Microsoft released the Xbox Game Pass for PC earlier this year, bringing the service to Windows users for $9.99 a month. Xbox Game Pass for PC launched with a list of 100 PC games, including select Microsoft Game Studios titles like Gears of War and Sea of Thieves....

While predicting the longer-term fate of AAPL stock is a skill few would claim to possess, a couple of UBS analysts reckon they have a pretty good steer on what’s going to happen over the next week or two. Business Insider notes that Steven Milunovich and Benjamin Wilson have found a reasonably consistent pattern around iPhone launches. The movements they predict are small, so give little prospect of the average short-term investor making any money after dealing costs, but here’s what they’ve found by analysing the last four iPhone launches:...

Terminate Unresponsive Apps in Settings Typically, when an app isn’t responding, and the window won’t close, you would hit Ctrl + Alt + Del to launch Task Manager, right-click the offending app and choose to end task. While that still works, Microsoft has added the same functionality to the Settings app. Head to Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Click on the offending app and choose Advanced options and then click the Terminate button....
