Apple was found guilty of anticompetitive behavior in its ebooks pricing and practices back in 2013, and lost a subsequent federal court appeal – despite some judges expressing sympathy with Apple’s position. Apple then decided to take the case to the Supreme Court, and today got the backing of both authors and distributors, reports The Bookseller....

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has revealed that Spider-Man’s death scene in Avengers: Infinity War was filmed very early on during production. Peter Parker, along with half of all living beings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, perished after Thanos finished collecting the Infinity Stones for his gauntlet and snapped his fingers in last year’s Avengers movie. Of all the painful deaths that fans had to endure while watching Infinity War, however, Peter’s was easily the worst for a whole lot of people....

A lot has happened in the lead-up to the Arrowverse’s 2019-2020 crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths, so a recap may be in order. The Arrowverse has been building up to Crisis on Infinite Earths for quite a while, particularly in the current seasons of Arrow and The Flash, which have been centered around the coming conflict. Crisis on Infinite Earths is perhaps the most important DC Comics miniseries ever published, so it makes sense that the 1985-1986 comic served as the basis for the Arrowverse’s biggest crossover ever....

There are huge spoilers ahead, obviously! While Avengers: Endgame was still a long time away from hitting theaters, Robert Downey, Jr. and Chris Evans were very vocal about it being their last movie. Their contracts were up and Tony Stark and Steve Rogers would be completing their character arcs as Marvel completed the 22-part Infinity Saga. Both heroes certainly went out in style. Tony Stark used the Infinity Stones to snap Thanos and his armies out of existence, dying in the process, and Steve Rogers remained in the past to marry Peggy after traveling back to return the Stones....

It’s almost accepted as a truism now that Apple products are getting more expensive – and indeed, there’s plenty of data to support that contention. Go back to 2014, for example, and the average selling price (ASP) of an iPhone was $634. Fast-forward to 2018, and it’s $898. Headline prices of Macs and iPads might suggest the same is true there, but that’s not necessarily the case … The Washington Post has an interesting analysis, comparing the price of various Apple products with both inflation and other spending categories....

Warning: Contains SPOILERS For Arrow, Season 8, Episode 1, “Starling City.” There’s an old saying that you can’t go home again, and Oliver Queen proved it true in Arrow season 8’s premiere episode, “Starling City.” Most of the episode centered upon Oliver Queen confronting his past and his early days as a vigilante trying to save his hometown, though under drastically different circumstances on another Earth, which was eventually revealed as Earth-2....

Apple’s sales team must be seriously worried about this one. It seems some are taking Donald Trump’s call to boycott Apple and iPhones seriously. Effective immediately, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will discontinue providing iPhones as option for replacements or upgrades for existing employees [over] Apple’s recent refusal to cooperate in unlocking an encrypted iPhone used by individuals involved in the recent San Bernardino shootings. There are currently 564 smartphones deployed throughout the office, 366 of which are iPhones....

Arrested Development became the ultimate cult comedy after its three-year run on FOX, then by some miracle was brought back for a fourth season via Netflix. Though season 4 confused some people with its wild non-linear narrative (which Mitch Hurwitz at one point said he was re-cutting in chronological order), the 15-episode run still contains many moments of incredible comedy, making it clear that Hurwitz and his brilliant cast still have plenty of great ideas to explore if they ever get a chance to explore them....

The Arrowverse has had a massive number of incredible DC heroes come to life in the last 8 years. But just as there are phenomenal heroes, there are also several villains that have joined the ever-growing DC TV universe on the CW. Whether they have served as the big bads or as secondary antagonists, the heroes of the Arrowverse has gone up some powerful and formidable foes in their respective seasons....

What’s an intelligent supervillain? It’s definitely not one who simply enjoys beating everyone around and destroying buildings. It takes more than that. A smart supervillain one who gives the heroes and the whole world a hard time. Smart supervillains always come up with creative, well thought out plans that make superheroes look like fools (at least for a little while). After all, it’s never fun to see the hero saving the world so easily....

We’re not saying the iPhone 5 will be this startlingly amazing example of a location-sensing, near field communicating hyper-advanced device that might run at speeds as fast as 2.5GHz — but we are saying it’s possible.

Take a look at ARM’s claims for this new chip, which it says is up to five times better performing than existing smartphone processors....

Way back at the beginning of 2019, the Internet reacted to the rumors of Armie Hammer being cast as the new Batman. While that may have been an exciting notion at the time, Armie Hammer doesn’t seem like a candidate for the role now. Nevertheless, the actor has many interesting projects in his filmography. From playing a gay lover in the critically-acclaimed Call Me by Your Name to voicing a sports car in Pixar’s Cars 3, Armie Hammer showed both audiences and critics that he can play completely different characters....
