Many characters in the Fast & Furious franchise have managed to appear in multiple installments of this series, but the character of Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes) has proven to be one noticeable exception. First appearing in 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fuentes was a U.S. customs agent who partnered up with Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson) to take down a drug lord. Over the course of their mission, the trio managed to defeat the film’s antagonist while O’Conner and Fuentes ended up developing a romance....

The change is being tested in Australia right now, but Facebook is unsure when it might expand to additional countries....

Over the past few weeks I have been testing out Exogear’s Exolife battery case for the iPhone 4 and I have to say it’s not like any battery case you’ve used with your iPhone before.

The Exolife hardly adds any weight or thickness to your iPhone 4 so it’s like you’re using a regular case- but you get a battery with it too....

When it was first announced in 2012 that the Coen Brothers’ critically acclaimed film Fargo would be adapted into a TV series, there was no shortage of skepticism that such a feat could be accomplished.

Connect is much different from traditional social networks like Twitter and Facebook, though....

This year’s John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum alone grossed $323 million at the box office on a $75 million budget, and John Wick 4 was green-lit less than a week after the movie opened....

In April, I decided to give Spotify a try over Apple Music. As an Apple Music subscriber since day one, I always wondered how it was using Apple’s most important competitor in the music streaming war. After almost a month, I finally decided whether I’m going to stay as a Spotify subscriber or switch back to Apple Music. To avoid rehashing what I’ve written in the past, here are some links to my previous coverage on the comparison between Apple Music and Spotify....
