One of Arrow’s most prominent characters that lasted a majority of the series was Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), father of Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and Sara (Caity Lotz) as well as a member of Team Arrow. While he began as someone who was against what the Arrow (Stephen Amell) was doing to eventually trying to take him down, Quentin would eventually find his place within the series as a permanent ally once he knew about the real identities of the vigilantes he was trying to take down....

The flagship new iPhone is now available in a total of 70 countries … The countries added today are Albania, Bosnia, Cambodia, Kosovo, Macau, Macedonia, Malaysia, Montenegro, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand and Turkey. The South Korean launch didn’t get off to the best of starts, with authorities there raiding Apple’s offices a few days beforehand, seemingly as the latest element of a long-running investigation into Apple’s contracts with carriers in the country....

Either firm may be backing an auction application lodged earlier this month by unknown entity Niagara Networks Inc., which has no current operations in Canada. The company surprised industry observers two weeks ago when it appeared on an Industry Canada list of applicants for the spectrum auction beginning on May 27. Niagara Networks has applied to bid on all the spectrum being auctioned, requiring a letter of credit for $881 million....

The Skype iOS app is finally getting the background blur feature that first landed on desktop versions of the app way back in February of last year … Background blur works in a similar way to the first generation Portrait photo feature on iPhones, detecting faces and then artificially blurring everything behind them. However, it doesn’t require devices with TrueDepth cameras, relying entirely on AI. Microsoft noted when it came to Mac, Windows, and Linux last year that it required a decent amount of video-processing power, so that may explain the delay before coming to mobile devices....

Cryptographic principles Cryptography involves the use of terms like plain text, cipher text, algorithm, key, encryption, and decryption. ‘Plain text’ is the text or message that needs to be transmitted to the intended recipients and which needs to be hidden. ‘Cipher text’ on the other hand, is the text that has been transformed by algorithms and which is gibberish. The process of converting the information from ‘plain text’ to ‘cipher text’ is known as ‘encryption....

While it can be considered a prequel to the Psycho film franchise, Bates Motel has truly ended up carving out its own unique identity over the course of its four season run. In addition to transplanting the story from Fairvale, California to White Pine Bay, Oregon, Bates Motel has also introduced countless interesting original characters into the mix, each with their own goals and motivations. While the unhealthily close relationship between future serial killer Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) and his mother Norma (Vera Farmiga) has certainly remained the overarching focus of the series, viewers are just as likely to be drawn in by the trials and tribulations endured by Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell) or Norman’s brother Dylan (Max Thieriot)....

Batman: Arkham fans are playing detective after new Batman 4 game teasers dropped. Warner Bros. Games Montreal, developers of Arkham Origins, dropped its latest teaser for what many assume is a new Arkham game - and with it, a new puzzle to solve.

The studio shared a series of images across various social media platforms, each containing a fragment of what appears to be part of the Batman 4 logo....

After far too long apart, Batman and Deathstroke will soon face off again in 2020, with a new story arc written by James Tynion IV and art by Tony S. Daniel and Danny Miki. While a fight between Bruce Wayne and Slade Wilson doesn’t happen often in comics, when these two legendary fighters do occasionally engage in fisticuffs, comic nerds tend to take notice. And with both characters being put through the wringer in their own respective books of late, it will be interesting to see how these two battle-hardened men act when thrown into a direct confrontation… and who will walk away the worse for wear....

Apple today announced a plan to dedicate $2.5 billion to combat the housing crisis in California. Following that announcement, Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders is slamming Apple, saying that the company helped create the housing crisis by not paying its fair share of taxes. In a statement issued this evening, Sanders says that Apple’s $2.5 billion commitment to the California housing crisis is an act of “hypocrisy.” He accuses Apple of “throwing pennies at a housing crisis” that it “helped create....

Much like the previous version, Final Fantasy VII remake has the same equipment system. Each character can equip one main weapon, which is unique, one armor, and an accessory. The thing about accessories is that compared to the other equipment, they don’t do much for the character. They boost the damage you can cause to your enemies, but the boost is minimal. However, you can’t just dismiss their importance as in certain battles, and accessories can be the difference between a win or a loss....

It’s a glaring hole in Apple’s MacBook line: The ability to access 3G (4G?) networks without tethering or using a 3G hotspot. Apple CEO Steve Jobs told the USAToday in 2008 that the reason that he didn’t want to build that functionality into MacBooks was that it invited complexity and locked users into a carrier. When Jobs says “considered it”, this is what he means: An Ebay auction today (via MacRumors) shows that Apple was getting ready to release such a MacBook Pro – all the way back in 2007....
