Like Disney, Pixar has influenced pop culture with their stories, animation, and characters. They put a ton of work and love into their films and you can see it in the details. One such aspect is the minor characters. They have made minor characters that are just as memorable as the protagonists, whether it is due to their humor, cool design, or awesome backstory. However, they have also made some doozies....

Google has started rolling out a new update for the Play Store that includes quite a bunch of welcome improvements and enhancements. Most of the changes are aimed at further refining the Play Store’s visual look.

The new layout does not extend from one edge to another edge of the display and looks much better....

Peter Stormare’s role in John Wick: Chapter 2 is small but memorable - as is his “pencil” speech. Keanu Reeves is an icon thanks to the Bill & Ted movies and The Matrix, but around the early 2010s his career was somewhat in limbo. The mixed response to The Day The Earth Stood Still hurt his blockbuster credentials, while 2013 bomb 47 Ronin saw him stick to smaller movies. John Wick was a modestly budgeted action film that seemingly came out of nowhere in 2014 to blow audiences away....

Star Trek: Picard is boldly going where very few Star Trek stories have gone before: into the moral weeds with deeply flawed characters. While Star Trek is generally held up as an optimistic, utopian bastion of positivity, Picard has struck a darker, more somber tone. Some fans have even questioned whether the show’s cynicism and darkness has crossed a line for the franchise. Some of this has to do with the changing fads of television storytelling, but a not insignificant amount of historical revision is also at play....

In celebration of the App Store’s 5th anniversary, Apple is giving away a handful of apps for free! Some of the apps available right now too.

Apple’s app review process while streamlined and quick, doesn’t always catch everything within an app before it is approved and released on the App Store. This time an app disguised as a calculator was able to make it through the cracks, with a hidden photo/video aspect underneath an otherwise fully functional calculator. Business Insider reports that Private Photos (Calculator%) is an app that allows teenagers to hide photos and videos behind what is seemingly a fully functional calculator....
