Hatching eggs is one of the most rewarding experiences in Pokemon Go! There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a newborn Pokemon that trainers have worked hard themselves to hatch. Hatching eggs can be a long task, though. Walking ten kilometers can be a little difficult when trainers have a full-time job, school, or other tasks that require them to sit for long periods of time. So the question becomes, how can a player hatch eggs in an effective manner?...

Pokemon Go has become a smash hit (available for free on the App Store), rallying hundreds of millions of players in just a few short days. Widespread media coverage of the game (and its consequences) has made the Nintendo freemium title somewhat of a phenomenon, continuing to top App Store charts. This success — likely propelled by pent-up demand for a ‘real’ Pokemon game available on iOS — comes despite the game only launching three regions; the United States, New Zealand Australia....

Very much like a larger iPod Touch, in fact. Slimmer is likely to be welcomed, though there are those among us who’d prefer to stick to the existing thickness in return for greater battery-life, but with the iPhone expected to be available in 4....

One of the coolest monsters found in Pokemon Sword and Shield is a Dragon/Grass-type creature known as Applin, which is capable of evolving into either Flapple or Appletun. It’s hard to believe that a pocket monster that resembles a worm inside of an apple can steal the limelight from other Pokemon, given some of the awesome new Galar forms found in Sword and Shield. Chief amongst those creatures is Galarian Ponyta and Sirfetch’d, both of which are locked as version exclusives for Pokemon Shield and Pokemon Sword, respectively....

It feels like The Office has simultaneously been off the air forever and that it was on only yesterday. The nine-season show was immensely popular, far surpassing the original BBC version created by Ricky Gervais (at least, in North America). The television landscape changed dramatically during its tenure on the air, but the show stayed strong until almost the very end. It gave actors like Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski their big break, and turned Steve Carrell into even more of a household name....

Yesterday Apple updated its 12-inch MacBook with some refreshed internal components and new a rose gold color. We already heard you loud and clear when we asked if Apple should bring new color options with the iPhone 7, but should it also give its other products and accessories the rose gold, gold, space gray treatment? As a Mac Pro user, I was a bit disappointed but understanding that Apple didn’t have a blacked out keyboard and mouse (something like on its MacBook Pros) to go along with the new design back in 2013....
