Avengers: Endgame directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, have explained their reasons for lying about the movie’s title. The franchise’s previous installment, Avengers: Infinity War, wrapped up with Thanos’s reality-altering finger snap, leaving fans to speculate about what would happen next. Unlike the MCU entries preceding it, the title for the fourth Avengers movie wasn’t revealed well before its release. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige made it clear that he felt the name of the film would spoil the ending of Infinity War....

Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) trusty robot Dum-E is featured in an Avengers: Endgame LEGO set, hinting that it may appear in the film. Fans would remember the droid as one of the two robots from the first Iron Man in 2008 that helped MCU’s founding hero while he was building the Mark II (the other one being Dum-U). After his Malibu house was destroyed in Iron Man 3, Stark was seen hauling Dum-E from the rubble, giving the impression that it went with him to his brand new home in New York....

Superman and Batman are teaming up yet again, only this time it’s not to take on a brand new threat, but an old one. In fact, it’s the FIRST one.

For those unaware of this early villain, it’s important to know that he was the first real Superman super villain in Action Comics....

A BBC TV show dealing with consumer protection issues will claim this evening that Apple is using a clause in its terms & conditions to refuse its cut-price battery replacement service for older iPhones. The clause says that any other damage to the phone must be repaired first, at full rate, before it will replace batteries. The problem, says the BBC Watchdog program in a show to be aired this evening, is that this clause doesn’t appear to exist …...

Below Deck Season 7 sets sail with a new trailer that teases some of the drama as well as a “shocking departure” as they set off to Thailand. The yacht crew has some issues and someone is seen walking away from the boat. The crew’s motto is to work hard and play harder, and sometimes the two get mixed up.

Before it was even released, fans and critics everywhere knew that Doctor Strange was going to end up being one of Marvel Studio’s most ambitious films to date. Telling one of the more complex and detailed origin stories in Marvel Comics, the film effectively blew open the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse to a world of magic and alternate dimensions like it had never seen before. Benedict Cumberbatch’s Stephen Strange made his entrance into the universe a memorable one, and was welcomed with both critical and financial success upon the film’s release....

THE BAD: Comic Sans You probably shouldn’t be too surprised seeing Comic Sans on this list. Before we get to the negative side, let’s get the positives out of the way. Yes, it’s a free and casual style font that isn’t meant to be taken seriously. Yes, it is also one of the few fonts approved for use for Dyslexics by the British Dyslexia Association (BDA). That’s great until suddenly everyone decides to use it for everything....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe dominates the majority of today’s movie headlines, but Marvel still has plenty to offer outside of its Disney-owned studio. Live-action Marvel projects date all the way back to 1944 (it shouldn’t come as a shock that Dick Purcell’s Captain America didn’t quite make the list), with Republic, Universal, and New Line among the distributors of its various movie attempts in the past. Even now, in the days of the MCU, Sony and Fox continue to deny Disney the full extent of characters to fall under the Marvel banner....

According to several reports fresh off the wire, the International Trade Commission has just ruled in favour of Apple in the company’s long-running attempt to get the courts to implement a sales ban on certain infringing Samsung devices. The case stems back to a countersuit that Apple filed in 2011 following a lawsuit launched by Samsung that claimed several Apple device’s infringed its patents. Fosspatents reports: The ITC found that Samsung does indeed infringe on the two patents asserted in the original case, including one often referred to as the “Steve Jobs” patent that covers touch screen features and another that detects when a headset or other device is plugged into an iPhone....

Arrow’s Echo Kellum, who plays Curtis Holt in the show, bids goodbye as a series regular in the The CW project’s latest episode.

Not a name to reckon when it comes to sending out software or firmware updates for its devices, Asus has been finding it hard to keep its name running in today’s volatile smartphone market. Though it came with Asus 7 and 7 Pro (finally some decent name for mobile phones) the company is yet to make it big in the industry. One of the very big reasons for not choosing is the untimely rollout of the update....

Since that dramatic moment, fans have eagerly anticipated Avengers: Endgame, which will follow the cliffhanger ending of Infinity War....

Did we mention that Ron also has a famously irreverent sense of humor that drew a huge number of fans to his columns and features while he was executive editor of PC Computing magazine?

He has studied criticism at the O’Neill Critics Institute and at the National Endowment of Humanities, where he is one of 12 fellows in criticism, he’s been writing reviews of everything from art, movies and books to computers and software for 30 years....
