Arrow has finally turned Black Siren into a hero. The Laurel Lance of Earth-2, Black Siren was introduced as a villainous version of Black Canary. Since her introduction, she’s alternated between being a hero and a villain, and her story is building to a climax in the final season of Arrow. Black Siren returned in the Arrow season 8 premiere, an episode that came to a shocking end when Earth-2 was destroyed in a wave of antimatter....
We are still sticking to our Mayish prediction of iPhone3G rollout – about a year after the the original announcement. Also, this is about the timewhen Japan, who’s networks aren’t compatible with EDGE, and the rest of Asia should start seeing the iPhone. Also expect the EDGE iPhones to take two price cuts of $100 each before then. One to eliminate the 8Gb iPhone in 1-2 months. Another for when the 3G model comes out to clear the EDGE iPhone inventory....
AT&T recently revealed some of its Q3 data, and the carrier says it saw 900,000 fewer smartphone upgrades compared to the year ago quarter. A recent Bloomberg piece suggests that the AT&T drop in year-over-year smartphone sales could be a sign that the iPhone 8 isn’t doing so hot. It does mention that AT&T’s Q3 only included about a week of iPhone 8 sales which isn’t enough to make a judgment, and that the data includes all smartphones, not just iPhones (although it’s amazing to think about one smartphone model being able to influence an entire quarter of carrier sales in one week)....
Avatar, a 2009 epic sci-fi flick written and directed by James Cameron, has marked a major technological breakthrough and ushered in a new era in digital effects. Although development on the movie began in 1994, when Cameron wrote an 80-page scriptment for the film, the director soon found he would have to wait for the necessary technology to become available if he were to achieve his vision of the film....
The Russo Brothers have explained the reason why Avengers: Endgame lacks a post-credits scene. The current MCU film is doing exceptionally well at the box office, grossing $1.2 billion in its opening weekend alone. It can be argued that the MCU popularized the post-credits concept. In Iron Man, the Avengers were teased after the credits rolled. From there, fans anticipated what future event or storyline would be teased at the end of each movie....
Thanos’ snap in Avengers: Infinity War had more victims than previously known, as Avengers: Endgame’s script reveals more characters who were dusted. The Mad Titan, played by Josh Brolin, made his proper debut in Avengers: Infinity War after a few prior MCU cameos, and his presence was felt immediately. Thanos was responsible for killing a few major Marvel Cinematic Universe characters. Still, the likes of Loki and Gamora dying paled in comparison to him snapping half of all life in the universe out of existence....
Part of the reason Avengers: Endgame relied on more CGI than usual was because of tight deadlines and the production’s inability to settle on key costume designs in time for shooting. In the realm of large scale blockbuster cinema, none are bigger than Avengers: Endgame. The culmination of over 20 films in 11 years, Endgame brought Earth’s Mightiest Heroes together for one last battle against Thanos and his minions. These big-budget tentpole films, by their nature, tend to feature a lot of cutting-edge CGI effects....
Actor Armie Hammer criticizes Marvel Entertainment Chairman Isaac “Ike” Perlmutter for his continued support of Donald Trump. The recent news of Equinox and SoulCycle owner billionaire Stephen Ross’ upcoming Hamptons fundraiser for the the President’s re-election bid has caused their patrons to boycott the companies. And in light of this news, Hammer reminded everyone that Perlmutter is also a staunch supporter of Trump. He famously donated $1 million to Trump’s wonder veterans initiative prior to being elected....
Netflix announces that part two of Arrested Development season 5 will premiere on March 15. The legendary sitcom, starring Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat, Tony Hale, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jessica Walter originally launched in 2003. Despite practically universal critical acclaim, it was cancelled by Fox after three seasons due to low ratings. When Netflix revived the show in 2013, responses were mixed, chiefly because the show’s format was changed to follow one family member per episode rather than multiple plot lines....
Update: Pricing has just been announced, at $3,799. Pricey, but actually not bad value in a market that had five-figure pricing not so long ago. ASUS today revealed that it will launch a 31.5-inch 4k monitor late next month, its 3840×2160 pixels allowing four 1080p HD videos to display full-size on the same screen without overlap. A 4k monitor in such a small package is made possible by using an IGZO panel, whose smaller transistors enable greater pixel density, and is likely to be in the same league (and possibly from the same manufacturer) as the 32-inch Sharp panel we saw at CES....
Most of the hotels around the world provide a free Wi-Fee connection for their guests in addition to a package of other free services, such as transportation, parking, telephone alarms, board games, and other facilities. However, not many hotel guests know about the risks posed by hotel Wi-Fi networks. A hotel Wi-Fi network may interrupt at regular intervals (for more information on hotel Wi-Fi quality testing, see http://www.hotelwifitest.com) and expose the hotel guests to potential cyber-crimes....
One of the tasks in education the iPad enables over a Chromebook is Augmented Reality, and right now is the time for AR apps to shine. With students forced home for the final stretch of the school year, class trips, field trips, and other immersive experiences have been canceled. Education is more than just pencil and paper, but when students can’t leave the house, augmented reality comes to the rescue. ARKit2 is supported by iPhone 6s and later, all iPad Pro models, iPad 5th generation, or newer....

Just when you thought it was safe to turn out the lights, a new trailer for Are You Afraid of the Dark? has arrived, bringing with it a Carnival of Doom. The new miniseries is a reboot of the Canadian TV series that ran from 1990-2000, with each episode using a gathering of the Midnight Society as the framing for a spooky new story. Nickelodeon’s limited series reboot was originally intended to lead into an Are You Afraid of the Dark?...
A merged Nvidia and Arm would have created a second potential semiconductor superpower behind Intel and a solid competitor to Qualcomm and Samsung in the mobile and embedded processor space – and a supplier of silicon for a next-generation of Arm-powered Windows laptops from Microsoft and other vendors. So, many industry observers may be wondering: Is the future of Arm in desktop computing an all-Apple one? As it stands now, only Apple has found success with Arm-based silicon of its own design by transitioning its Mac platform to the M1....
The latest episode of Arrow made reference to Blockbuster - a classic Batman villain who might prove an ideal foil for Kate Kane in the upcoming Batwoman series. Little has been said about the cast of criminals Batwoman might face, though the possibilities seem sadly limited given how many characters are currently in use in other series such as Gotham. The Easter egg came in “Star City Slayer” - Arrow season 7, episode 13 - when Captain Dinah Drake of the Star City PD called Captain Singh of the Central City PD in regards to a series of killings that seemed similar to a case she recalled from her time as an undercover cop in Central City....

AT&T promised in January to launch mobile 5G service in a dozen cities by the end of the year, though without naming any of them at the time. It later named three of them, and has now added the next three … It said in February that Dallas, Atlanta and Waco were all in line to get access to the high-speed data service, and has today added Charlotte, Raleigh and Oklahoma City to the list....
WARNING: Major spoilers for Avengers: Endgame. Avengers: Endgame’s ending is the high-stakes close to the story Marvel Studios has been on for the last 11 years and an emotional send-off to some of the MCU’s biggest characters, but also a setting of the stage for what can come in Phase 4 and beyond. Now that the film is out in theaters, it is time to break it all down. The movie sees the Avengers learn that their failure is unstoppable and irreversible at the beginning of the film, taking audiences forward five years with a time jump....
Marvel cut an entire aerial action sequence from Avengers: Endgame. The climax of the MCU to date, Avengers: Endgame saw Earth’s surviving heroes desperately attempt to rewrite history and undo the snap. They succeeded - but it all set up a stunning final battle, as the Thanos of 2014 traveled from the past and attempted to triumph once again. What followed was probably the most impressive action sequence in the MCU to date, with the OG Avengers reinforced by every living MCU character - from Captain Marvel to Black Panther, from the Wasp to Doctor Strange....
