Titled Arctic Dogs, the film revolves around Renner’s Swifty, who dreams of becoming one of the Arctic’s star husky couriers and leaving his dull mail room job behind. However, when he tries to prove that he’s worthy of becoming a Top Dog, Swifty ends up getting entangled in a plot to take over the world, as perpetrated by the mechanical-legged Doc Walrus (John Cleese) and his army of puffin henchmen.

Over the past few years, The CW has amassed an impressive programming lineup that goes well beyond its core DC Comics titles, turning it into the little broadcast network that could. With critically acclaimed and award-winning TV shows like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane the Virgin rounding out its geek-centric schedule that also includes elder statesman Supernatural, the network finds itself in a unique but also demanding position of keeping its devoted fan base happy while making plans for the future....

Like it or not, the digitization of all things physical is coming fast. Although many of the CES 2022 themes may seem unrelated, there is one underlying technology – and that’s artificial intelligence. We are rapidly moving into a world where AI is infused in almost every aspect of our lives – from the games we play to home electronics to the cars we drive and beyond.

. Apple is clearly in inventory clearance mode with the iPhone 5 at this point. Just a few hours ago, we reported that Walmart would be carrying the iPhone 5 for $129 with a two year plan.

Earlier yesterday, Virgin Mobile a pre-paid subsidiary of Sprint announced it would be carrying the iPhone for $549 unsubsidized – which is $100 off of retail....

Subsidization really makes sense because the carrier is using the customer’s bandwidth to provide 3G access. Charging a monthly fee, in this case $20/month, for the customer to use their own bandwidth to support AT&T’s customers seems like just a bit of a dick move. Maybe AT&T should be paying people to use their microcells? Sure the box costs money to build and support, but AT&T could certainly use the access bandwidth and certainly the good PR....

Batman has a new Arkham Knight to face in the world of DC Comics, and this version has the potential to be a greater (and most importantly more interesting) villain than the original.
