Yesterday, iOS hackers Conrad and Chpwn exposed the upcoming panorama mode in the iOS camera app that we previously revealed. While you can enable it a little easier by using the jailbreak tweak available on Cydia, for those of us who don’t jailbreak, Funky Space Monkey shows us how to do it. We followed the steps, and it works just fine! Download iBackupBot Backup your iPhone/iPod in iTunes Open iBackupBot and find the backup, then load it....

There’s a lot in Harry Potter that’s never fully explained. After the third book, we never see any more of time-travel (no, we’re not considering The Cursed Child), the Department of Mysteries still keeps its secrets and we still don’t know the grisly details of creating a Horcrux. And there’s plenty of it that doesn’t make sense, owing to a lack of information. In Book 5, we learn that wizards can read another’s minds using Legilimency and protect themselves from unwanted invasions by learning Occlumency....

Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter is one of the side characters who doesn’t always get as much fan admiration as she deserves. That’s inevitable, really. Given that the series is about Harry, with the main focus on the trio, it’s understandable that some of the other side characters don’t get as much attention. However, Ginny Weasley is actually a multi-faceted character who had a lot of fantastic moments in the movies and books, who often gets underrated because of her status as Harry’s love interest and eventual wife....

During Mobile World Congress 2021 today, Samsung gave a first look at its new Wear OS for smartwatches in partnership with Google. As it does with its smartphones, Samsung will add the One UI interface on its yet-to-be-announced watches. Of all the features introduced today, the only one I think Apple should adopt is the customizable Watch Face feature, and here’s why. Apple has never had much competition in the smartwatch industry....

Harley Quinn is one of the most popular characters in the DC universe right now. More of an anti-hero than a straight-up villain, she’s made a fair few enemies during her time as part of the criminal underworld of Gotham City and beyond. Over time, Harley has amassed an extensive array of enemies and a similar number of allies. Some names on this list would kill Quinn if they had the chance, but others would defend her at all costs....

Fans of the Harry Potter universe who’ve only seen the films often hear their reader friends gush about “the Marauders” from the series, lamenting that they don’t have their own movie series. They’ve also heard of one “Marauders Map,” and wonder just who made it and why it has this name. The Marauders were four young men who attended Hogwarts together. These bests friends, known as James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, were much more clearly developed in the books than the films, but even in author J....

We’re coming up on a month since Apple shared that it slows down iPhones based on battery age and wear to prevent from unexpected shutdowns. Since Apple has dropped the price of battery replacements to $29, have you gotten yours swapped out? Let us know in the poll below if you think it was worth it, if you’re still trying to get it done, or otherwise. Shortly after Apple apologized for how it handled the battery slowdown issue, the company clarified that all iPhone 6 and later models are eligible for the discounted battery replacement, without needing to fail diagnostics....

Hermione Granger is often remembered as a strong, independent, and intelligent young woman. Usually seen with a book, Hermione was the brains of the Golden Trio. While she did not hit it off with Harry and Ron immediately, they became nearly inseparable after the troll incident. Afterward and throughout the rest of the Harry Potter series, Hermione is acknowledged as Harry’s most loyal friend, even edging out Ron on certain occasions....

One of the main components of the Harry Potter series is, obviously, magic. Without magic, it wouldn’t be much of a story, now, would it? The wizarding world boasts a vast lexicon of various spells, curses, charms, and more to use on a daily basis, whether for menial household tasks or more serious instances of dueling and fighting against others. We see a great deal of different kinds of magic in the books and films....

The former star of The Bachelorette, Hannah Brown, has had a roller coaster year. From going from a beauty queen to being thrown in the spotlight as the star of the hit ABC show, Hannah went to Instagram to reflect on the whirlwind of a year she had and how she’s handling life post-Bachelorette. Hannah, a former Miss Alabama, was thrown into stardom after being cast as The Bachelorette. The outspoken 24-year-old was very open about her Christian faith....

Harry Potter is a wonderful magical world full of enchantments and fascinating characters. However, there’s also a darker side to the world we love so much. Many of the spells have the potential for darker uses, or are outright dark to begin with. Some of these spells and potions should be illegal, but aren’t for whatever reason. Other spells may be illegal but are never explicitly stated as such anywhere (even though they really should be)....

Happy Hogan is more similar to Harry Potter’s Hagrid than the MCU’s Nick Fury in Spider-Man: Far From Home says Jon Favreau. Kicking off the MCU in 2008 by directing Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, the filmmaker was also able to get into the franchise as an actor, playing Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) loyal driver and confidant. The character has grown over the years, going through a slew of dangerous experiences - his price to pay having a close relationship with one of the most well-known Avengers....

Although each installment of the Harry Potter book and film series is its own unique story, every iteration follows the same basic structure with different story lines, characters, and subplots thrown into the mix. The third installment, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, is one of the most beloved episodes in the whole saga. The Prisoner of Azkaban was the first book and film to introduce fan favorite character Sirius Black, and it also felt like a turning point for the series where it went from stories aimed at children to a more mature tale geared towards a wider audience....

WarnerMedia has announced a May 2020 launch date for new subscription streaming service HBO Max, which full include the complete HBO service and library of content, as well as new original content. That will add up to around 10,000 hours of content available at launch, including past hit HBO shows like Game of Thrones and The Sopranos, and newly acquired content like South Park, Friends and Rick and Morty. HBO already has two streaming services: HBO Go, which is available to customers with an existing HBO cable package, and HBO Now, which is the option for cord-cutters....

UPDATE: Blass’ locked Twitter account only allows his current followers to view his tweets and photos. From the looks of the photos, rumors and leaked dummy models of the S22 lineup were spot on. The S22 and S22 Plus both carry the familiar Samsung design, with a three-camera array on the back of the phone. All three phones have a holepunch cutout on the display for the front-facing camera. What’s most notable, to me at least, is that the S22 Ultra has the same design we’d come to expect from Samsung’s Note lineup....

The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend is traditionally one of the busier frames at the box office in January and in 2017, no less than five movies are debuting in theaters or going into wider release over the four-day holiday. That includes: Ben Affleck’s period gangster drama/thriller Live by Night, Martin Scorsese’s historical drama Silence, Peter Berg’s docudrama/thriller Patriots Day and Ice Age director Chris Wedge’s family-friendly adventure Monster Trucks....
