Back in 2009, James Cameron revolutionized cinema with Avatar, a sci-fi epic largely considered one of the most technologically advanced and visually impressive films of all time. It was fast cemented as a mega hit, and eight years later it still remains the highest-grossing movie in history with a staggering $2.8 billion worldwide take. It also earned widespread critical acclaim, going on to win three Oscars at the 2010 Academy Awards....
An updated version of the Avengers: Endgame poster is released to include a credit for Danai Gurira after fan outrage online. Marvel Studios surprised everyone this morning with the release of the full Avengers: Endgame trailer for the 22nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It continues an unorthodox marketing approach for Avengers: Endgame, which is hiding as much of the plot as possible, and instead highlighting the characters who will lead the final installment of Phase 3....
Avengers 5 could be a “Secret Wars” movie that writes Spider-Man out of the MCU. The last couple of months have been tense ones for Marvel fans; the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home was overshadowed by the end of the partnership between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, and even the Spider-Man cast were expecting to carry on with just Sony. Fortunately, the two rival studios returned to the negotiating table, and agreed to two more movies involving Tom Holland’s wall-crawler that will be part of the MCU....
Back in the summer, the UK’s High Court overturned legislation allowing citizens to duplicate copyrighted material for personal use. The British government has now accepted this ruling, meaning that the private-copying exception to anti-piracy laws no longer applies – and the government will not attempt to reintroduce it. This means that we’re back where we started: doing something as simple as ripping a CD, backing-up your music to Time Machine or uploading it to a cloud service is once more illegal, reports copyright blog 1709....
Bad Boys 4 is in the works with stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence both returning. Released in 1995, the original Bad Boys tapped into the buddy-cop tropes familiar from ‘80s action movies like Lethal Weapon and 48 Hrs. but added a hipper (at least for the mid ‘90s) edge with stars Smith and Lawrence and ratcheted up the action thanks to director Michael Bay. A big hit with $141 million in box office grosses against a reported $28 million budget, the film was belatedly followed up in 2003 with the sequel Bad Boys II, which also hit big at the box office with a gross of $273 million....
Alfred Pennyworth is the single best thing through the entire Batman franchise. It’s safe to say that the Batman movies have had their ups and downs, and in fact, have oscillated between the two extremes in a way seldom seen in most A-list series. 1997’s Batman and Robin nearly killed comic book movies altogether, while 2008’s The Dark Knight serves as a point of comparison for the entire superhero genre to this day; yet, it’s Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler who has always been the strongest component of The Caped Crusader’s big screen adventures....
Belkin took a little bit of time today at IDF to show off their new Thunderbolt Express Dock that provides a selection of ports that mirror the new 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display, sans the $999 price point. The accessory sports three USB ports, a Thunderbolt port, Firewire 800 port, and Gigabit Ethernet. Perhaps the dock could use some more of that Apple “mimimalism” – we’re sensing some wasted space being used here....
Ben Affleck finally gets candid about his departure from The Batman, revealing Justice League’s behind the scenes production issues diminished his enthusiasm for his own DCEU movie. Justice League’s rewrites, reshoots, and drastic departure from Zack Snyder’s original vision is a well-known story by now, but this is the first time Affleck has admitted they have a share of the blame for his decision to hang up Batman his cape and cowl....

With the iPhone announcement event just days away, it looks like Best Buy is pushing out a “deal” to offload some inventory and make room for the new iPhones. As an in-store only promotion, you can now get the 16GB iPhone 5 for $149.99. This offer has been seen a few times before, but currently the best deal for an iPhone 5 is Walmart’s $98 deal.

Steve Jobs famously said that people don’t know what they want until they see it. To which I’d add that sometimes we don’t know what we want until we’ve used it for a while. I’m old enough to have been around when the first Macintosh was launched. In that case, I knew I wanted one the moment I saw it. This was how computers were supposed to work. The total cost of the Macintosh plus second floppy drive plus ImageWriter printer was a frightening amount at the time, but I didn’t care – I had to have one....

Traditional networks were designed for data centers where the majority of traffic moved in a “north-south” direction. That is, it would come into the data center, travel through three or more tiers, pass through a core, and then “trombone” back out (meaning through a circuitous, latency-causing path). This made the placement of infrastructure, such as load balancers and security devices, relatively straightforward because they could all be deployed in the core....
Next week, Apple will debut a new element of Tim Cook’s plan to sell more iPhones direct from Apple Retail. The company, on Tuesday, July 23rd, will release an updated version of its Apple Store application for iPhone and iPod touch, according to a source with knowledge of the app. The new app has been redesigned to fit more in line with the user-interface of the App Store, iTunes Store, and iBookstore in iOS 6....
Asus made some headlines with the release of the Asus ZenFone 6 or Asus 6z back in 2019. It was not all the meaty specs that the phone carried that made it to the headlines. In fact, it was the new camera arrangement that Asus went ahead turned all the heads. The company instead of using a punch-hole, notch, or pop-up mechanism, used a rotating hinge mechanism for its camera module....
AT&T is set to release fourth-quarter 2012 financial results Jan. 24, but the carrier announced today that it sold more than 10 million smartphones during the quarter. The company’s sales figure beats its previous record of 9.4 million, set in the fourth quarter of 2011, and includes “best-ever quarterly sales of Android and Apple smartphones.” AT&T Mobility President and Chief Executive Officer Ralph de la Vega noted AT&T saw 110,000 smartphone sales a day, because customers “flocked” to its latest Android, Apple, and Windows devices....
The tech analyst’s latest Future of Jobs Forecast estimates that as many as 12 million jobs could be lost to automation across Europe by 2040, primarily impacting workers in industries such as retail, food services, and leisure and hospitality. Mid-skill labour jobs that consist of simple, routine tasks are most at risk from automation, the report said. These roles make up 38% of the workforce in Germany, 34% of the workforce in France, and 31% of the workforce in the UK....
News has only just broken that Warner Bros is courting onetime Avengers filmmaker Joss Whedon to write and direct a solo movie featuring Batgirl for its DC Extended Universe franchise. Details are now emerging online, regarding the potential comic book sources that Whedon could be drawing from, should he moved forward with his Batgirl project. Originally created for the 1960s Batman TV series starring Adam West and introduced into the DC comic book mythos shortly thereafter, the Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl is the second, but by far best known character to call herself Batgirl....
