Apple made the rack-mountable version of the Mac Pro available last week, and now the first orders are arriving to customers. As expected, the folks at MacStadium are planning to host the new Mac Pro in their data centers, and they’ve gotten their hands on the new rack-mountable machine today. MacStadium VP Brian Stucki took to Twitter this afternoon to share a look at the new Mac Pro in MacStaidum data centers....
French website Premiere (via DailyMail) just posted a few pictures of Ashton Kutcher acting like Steve Jobs under the influence of LSD during a scene shoot for the upcoming biopic on the late Apple co-founder. The actor appears delirious and euphoric with his arms outstretched while in the grassy California field. Jobs confessed on many occasions that the effects of LSD inspired him and served as one of the “most important experiences” of his life....
NOTE: This article contains SPOILERS for Harley’s Little Black Book #6 - She’s strong, she’s unforgettable, and so unpredictably bonkers nobody other than The Joker could claim her love… or so we thought. It turns out Harley Quinn has a fondness for just about any pale-skinned psychopath with a homicidal strike, if her recent erratic love affair with Lobo is to be believed. Sure, her romance with DC Comics’ cosmic biker bounty hunter only lasts for a single issue, but all the best romances burn out as quickly....
Severus Snape is a complicated character. He has done a lot of awful things, and, even though he does get a redemption arc, this doesn’t completely excuse all of the horrible ways he treated people. Throughout the Harry Potter series, Severus Snape was a bit of an enigma. Harry could never quite tell if he was a good guy or if he was evil. It wasn’t until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that everything was revealed....
Somehow, the final Harry Potter movie released 11 years ago, bringing a decade of on-screen storytelling to an end and providing fans with a fitting finale for a series that had left them enchanted for over 10 years. But while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 hit many high notes, there were characters omitted from the final blockbuster that would have warranted their inclusion. Over the years, certain people from the Potterverse were snubbed as Warner Brothers tried to cram as many individuals in as possible....
Harry Potter: a hit novel and movie series. But like any other adaptation out there, there are just some things that were left out when the book got converted into movie format. For the most part, the series did a solid job. But there are just some things that will make more sense when watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, if you’ve actually read the book beforehand. There’s just no avoiding that fact, as much as we’d like to pretend otherwise....
Diagon Alley is the first real introduction that Harry Potter fans get to the wizarding world, and it’s an incredible one. From the moment that Hagrid reveals how to tap a brick to open the wall, fans are transported to a place where everything is magical, where everyone wears robes and uses wands, where Harry learns all about the world that his parents were part of. And while we love Diagon Alley (and every fan remembers the moment they realized that it was a play on the word ‘diagonally’), we’ve got some questions about how this whole wizarding street works....
Heath Ledger’s improvisation skills in The Dark Knight have been overblown thanks to an internet myth. The talented actor went against type to play Joker in Christopher Nolan’s Batman movie in 2008 and gave an incredible performance. In the years since The Dark Knight’s release and the devastating loss of Ledger, his work as Joker has only continued to be highlighted. Thanks to easily quotable lines, his maniacal laugh, and a variety of meme-inspiring moments, Ledger’s Joker has remained a big part of fandom over a decade later....
Apple’s merging of iOS with OS X continues today with our first glimpse at 10.8 Mountain Lion, the next major OS release for Macs. Of course, in the process of bringing the best of both worlds together, some things win out. In the case of Mountain Lion, several apps and features were replaced with their iOS counterparts. Here is everything from past OS X releases that died today at the hand of Apple’s iOS-ifying of Mountain Lion:...
Ravenclaws are known for being the ‘clever’ house, but they are so much more than just booksmart. Sure, Ravenclaws value wit and wisdom over the bravery, cunning, or loyalty of the other houses in the Harry Potter world, but they also value free thinking and individuality. Ravenclaws are some of the quirkiest people that you will ever meet, and their taste in TV would reflect that! Of course, televisions themselves don’t work at Hogwarts, thanks to the sheer amount of magic in the atmosphere, and most magical families don’t have muggle tvs in their home....
It still seems hard to comprehend that the final Harry Potter movie released eight years ago. Those movies were a huge part of the industry at the time, raking in billions at the box office long before the MCU came along. That era belonged exclusively to Warner Brothers, who did a fantastic job at transmitting the story of the Boy Who Lived from the pages of a book to the silver screen....
Speculation of a Deadwood revival has been around for years. Despite a critically acclaimed three-season run on the premium network, David Milch’s western masterpiece has long languished as an incomplete work. While little progress has seemingly been made in bringing the series back to television, it appears a draft for the movie script is now in HBO’s hands. In a new interview, actor Ian McShane gives the strongest indication yet that the Deadwood revival movie is on the horizon....
Heartstrings is Dolly Parton’s new anthology show on Netflix. The first season is eight episodes, each with a story inspired by one of the songstress’ classic songs. The tracks Parton chose for these episodes are not necessarily her best works, or even her most famous hits, but rather, the songs with stories Parton wanted to bring to life on screen. Parton’s anthology series is the kind of project the country legend has always wanted to do....
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser horror franchise raised the bar when it came to slasher storytelling in the 1980s. The series went on for quite some time before dwindling into relative obscurity, but not before committing some truly nightmarish imagery to film. To this day, the appearance of Pinhead and his Cenobites are simultaneously bone-chilling and awe-inspiring, which was entirely the point of Barker’s approach. Most fans of the Hellraiser franchise agree that Pinhead and his fellow Cenobites haven’t appeared in any worthwhile cinematic undertakings in decades, but that seems set to change with the upcoming debut of Hulu’s Hellraiser in early October....
Apple released OS X 10.10 Yosemite Developer Preview 6 today as we reported ahead of its expected public debut in October, and four new beautiful wallpapers of Yosemite National Park have been included.

JK Rowling’s Harry Potter tells the story of a magical world, yet the real magic in the series derives from the beautiful friendships made at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. What good would the series be without the golden trio? How would we make it without the brilliant teamwork from comedic duo Fred and George Weasley? Even Filch’s relationship with his cat Mrs. Norris is significant towards our love of the series....
Marvel fans are calling for Jeremy Renner to be replaced as Clint Barton in the upcoming Hawkeye Disney+ TV show set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Renner joined the MCU as S.H.I.E.L.D. marksman Clint Barton in Thor, before teaming up with the rest of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in The Avengers. Of all six original Avengers, Hawkeye is arguably the most underserved in the MCU, playing Loki’s pawn in the first Avengers movie and sitting out the entirety of Avengers: Infinity War....
Good! Because conventional wisdom tells us what we already know: most people read and share posts based on titles alone. Couple that with the fact that we live in an era of clickbait headlines where brands and blogs will say just about anything to score clicks. Listen: from blog titles to social posts and beyond, knowing how to write a compelling headline is an invaluable skill. And despite popular belief, doing so means more than just running your titles through a generator....
