The FBI broke the law when it switched on a suspect’s phone to look at his lock screen without a warrant, ruled a judge. It said that gathering evidence from a lock screen constitutes a search, and doing this without a warrant violates the 4th Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable search and seizure … The ruling was made by judge John Coughenour in a district court in Seattle. Judge Coughenour ruled that the police were within their rights to look at the lock screen at the time of Sam’s arrest, as there are circumstances in which a search can be made at the time of an arrest without a warrant....

The Pokemon Sword & Shield TCG expansion set is the beginning of some significant changes to the way the game will be experienced by casual and competitive fans alike. The set will introduce a rule change to the way the first turn of the TCG is played, preventing the player who has won the first turn of the game to play a Supporter card on their first turn, attempting to mitigate the advantage players have when they can set the tempo of the game....

The Ball Guy from Pokémon Sword & Shield is giving out codes to redeem rare Pokéballs on social media. Last November, the release of the game was followed by several controversies surrounding the developer’s choice to get rid of some of the series’ long-running characters. At E3 2019, developer Game Freak revealed that Sword & Shield would be getting rid of the Pokémon National Pokédex, meaning not all the pocket monsters from the franchise would be featured in the game....

Mastodon, Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Sabretooth Tiger, Tyrannosaurs– if shouting out those animals means anything to you then you are either a huge fan of the Natural History Museum or you grew up in the 1990s. Those are the prehistoric calling cards of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. First airing in the states on August 28th, 1993, the classic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a runaway hit. Taking footage from a Japanese show called Super Sentai and repurposing it for American fans created a phenomenal....

Wonder Woman 1984 director, Patty Jenkins jokes that she wishes the sequel was still releasing in 2019 because it’s that good and she can’t wait to share the film with audiences. With the cinematic futures of both Batman and Superman changing, the sequel to 2017’s Wonder Woman is one of the few constants in Warner Bros.’ announced slate of DC Comics films and that makes it a most important movie for the studio....

Let’s be honest. Most of the subjects of paintings portraying feminine pulchritude are plenty porky. It’s not the women’s fault. The blame lies on the artists, who simply didn’t have Photoshop to touch up the women in their paintings, and Linday Lohan wouldn’t be available for centuries. Such thoughts have led Italy’s Anna Utopia Giordano — herself a model, blogger, and Photoshop artist — to reveal in her online exhibit, Venus Impressive, what the classics nudes would have looked like if their creators had access to the brushes of Adobe....

The quest to become the Pokemon Sword & Shield Champion has come to an end, but players are still itching to feed the need to play more Pokemon.

Here is a bad news coming from Linux Mint. Today Clem, member of Linux Mint community posted that ISOs of Linux Mint 17.3 were hacked on 20th of February, 2016. Yes! You heard that right.

Apple and other tech giants will in future be required to pay tax in each country in which they sell products and services. Apple, for example, will no longer be able to funnel profits from all European Apple Stores through Ireland as a means of avoiding tax in the countries where the products are actually sold. The plans were announced by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), following more than 130 countries agreeing on the need for global tax reform…...

In 2014, directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer debuted their film, Starry Eyes at SXSW. It was the strength of that film (and exploration of a lead characters descent into darkness) that helped get them the gig of adapting a Stephen King classic, Pet Sematary. Now, back at SXSW, Pet Sematary debuted as the closing night film. Since it was co-director’s Kevin Kolsch birthday, the whole crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to him to help celebrate....

“We don’t recommend sending PGP encrypted articles as we frequently have problems with people using the wrong keys and/or an incompatible version. If it doesn’t work right away, we discard it and move on to the next submission.” Well, that was no problem for me. As a productive tech journalist, I email my work to editors at least a few times per week, and those emails are never encrypted. I encrypt an email maybe… once a year?...

Every franchise needs a breakout character to establish itself, and Pirates of the Caribbean had its star-making performance in Captain Jack Sparrow.

Detective Pikachu is wholesome, silly fun, with solid world-building and stunning CGI Pokémon that are complemented well enough by its story. For decades, Hollywood has been trying to crack the code of video game adaptations, attempting to translate the popular medium to the big screen with few successes. The latest video game adaptation is Pokémon Detective Pikachu, the first live-action adaptation of the Pokémon franchise. Though it’s specifically based on the 2016 game, Detective Pikachu, the movie is rooted in the franchise that kicked off and rose to popularity in the mid-90s....

Pokemon Go is one of the most popular games out there. When the game got launched back four years ago, it immediately became one of the most trending games in the gaming industry after a short while. From then on, the game has witnessed decent growth and has been able to retain its playerbase despite many mobile games trending now and then. If you are an avid Pokemon fan, you must be knowing that Dragon-type Pokemons are one of the most sought types in the game....

I asked back in May whether you thought the Apple Watch Activity app would lead to a leaner, fitter you. At that point, more than 80% of you said that it either would or already had. A Wristly survey yesterday suggested that the reality perhaps hadn’t quite lived up to this promise, but still contained some pretty impressive numbers. More than 50% of Watch owners said that they were exercising more and were making better health choices, with around 40% reporting weight loss....

Adobe is today celebrating the 25th anniversary of Photoshop, which first launched as a Mac-only app on 19th February 1990. What went on to become the industry standard image editing app started life in 1987, when Thomas Knoll, a computer vision doctorate student at the University of Michigan, began developing it on his Mac Plus. Known then as Display, the app was designed to do nothing more than display grayscale images on the Macintosh’s black-and-white monitor....
