There are many reasons why Outlander was quick to become such a beloved show amongst fans. It’s not only the impressive scenery, the stunning outfits, the political intrigue, and the tragic love stories. But, rather the incredible string of characters that have come and gone over the years. The fact that the show has been renewed for its fifth and sixth seasons simultaneously is more than enough of a testament to the importance it has to the audiences....

Draughtlander is the worst time of the year. Season six of STARZ’s prestige and immensely popular historical drama, Outlander, won’t return until 2020.

But then Claire finds herself trapped between two different men in her life and two different time periods....

Every year, The Oscars honor the motion picture industry, giving out prestigious golden statues to the people behind the most celebrated movies of the year.

The new app is more streamlined and adds several features previously only available on your paired iPhone....

Apple today seeded iOS 7.1.2, and we’ve confirmed that the recently-released Pangu jailbreak does indeed work perfectly fine with the new build. While Pangu was released after Apple seeded 7.1.2 to carriers (meaning that the likelihood of the security holes being patched was fairly low), there was still the slim possibility that Apple would make a few changes and patch the holes before pushing the update to the masses. But alas, the untethered jailbreak that we told you about last week is still capable of jailbreaking iOS 7....

Jim O’Heir portrayed Jerry Gergich for all seven seasons of Parks and Recreation. When the NBC sitcom came to an end in 2015, Jerry started to display the self-confidence that transformed him into an equal in the eyes of his colleagues. The Parks and Rec series finale used a montage of flash-forward scenes to reveal the fates of the core characters, including Jerry. A long-time Pawnee Parks Department employee, Jerry was often the target of bullying due to his clumsiness....

NBC’s hit sitcom Parks and Recreation provides a mockumentary inside view of how to run city government in small-town USA.

And in any office, there’s one guy who seems to take all the blame....

The system runs on a custom build of Android, but has full support for the iPhone’s CarPlay feature, allowing control of your cell phone’s key functions through your dashboard.

A new extended trailer for the final season of Orphan Black features the clones teaming up to fight back against Neolution.

And one of the camera’s more unheralded new features is something that will appeal majorly to MacBook owners. Instead of a slow USB 2.0 connection via a USB mini port, Panasonic is including USB 3.1 gen 1 via a USB Type-C port. Why is the inclusion of USB-C so important? One of the biggest complaints about the new MacBook Pro is the fact that it lacks any I/O ports outside of its USB-C ports....

The Parler website and app went offline last week, with the company’s CEO blaming Apple and Google for ‘destroying the company.’ This claim may be a little premature, however, as the website came back online today, albeit with only a holding message for now … Background Parler was used to help plan the attempted coup at the Capitol building, with users threatening to attack or kill both US vice-president Mike Pence and various members of Congress....

The .plist includes full names, phone numbers, and e-mails. Path did not ask users to accept the feature, and it went ahead and saved contact information without telling them. Obviously, people have the right to be worried. Path’s CEO Dave Morin issued an apology today after yesterday’s data scare and tried to reassure users about Path’s stance on protecting privacy....
