Perhaps the most intellectually titillating films of 2016, Arrival posed audiences with many questions about the nature of existence and humanity’s relation to time. Starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, this film was acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. Throughout the movie, there are many seeds planted that hint at the overall meaning. Although some of these details are evident to most audiences upon a second viewing, many are not. Here are the top ten details everyone missed in Arrival....

[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Arrow ahead.] - Adrian Chase, aka Prometheus, has dominated much of the action in Arrow season 5, and his villainy isn’t over yet. Despite Oliver’s best efforts to overcome his physical and psychological torture, and use every ally to beat his mortal enemy, Chase slipped through the net once again. The former district attorney’s final scene in “Disbanded” was a chilling view of a remorseless killer, whistling happily as he drives past a parade of police cars, his face freshly spattered with the blood of his victims....

Both NowhereElse.fr and Apple.club.tw have published images of a myriad of alleged iPhone 6 components. This includes pictures of home buttons, ribbon cables and other elements of the device. Yet another photo of the iPhone 6 design is also included, this time shown off in the gold styling. The hole for the Apple logo is also visible, as discussed a few days ago. The two home buttons, pictured above, differ slightly different in their construction, clearly meant for two different form factors of device — if any more evidence for both 4....

Following its expansion into the podcast segment, Spotify is now investing in audiobooks for its platform. The company announced on Thursday a new partnership with Storytel Group that will bring audiobooks to its users. The announcement made on Storytel’s official website says that its catalog with more than 500,00 audiobooks will be available later this year on Spotify. It’s important to note, however, that the Storytel catalog will not be included with the Spotify Premium subscription and still requires a standalone subscription....

That’s the word from a recent Uptime Institute survey that shows that technology vendors and data center operators are seeing almost nonstop expansion. For the third year in a row, about 80% say customer spending is at or above normal levels. Half expect strong capital spending growth in the next three to five years. About one in three predicts some deceleration in growth rates, but only one in six expects it to flatten or shrink....

New update on June 8, 2020: In response to the problem, Asus has asked the users to send in their devices to the nearest service center for a motherboard replacement.

Following a six-week pause on its original launch plans, another two-week delay, and a last-minute agreement to halt any launches near airports to alleviate Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) fears over C-Band’s interference with radio altimeters, the service is finally going live. AT&T’s newest 5G technology is now available in a total of eight metro areas: Austin, Chicago, Dallas Ft. Worth, Detroit, Houston, Jacksonville, Orlando, and South Florida. The new technology is expected to improve upon AT&T’s existing mmWave-based 5G by providing “a great combination of ultra-fast speeds and wide geographic coverage....

Avengers: Endgame has now officially released in theaters and provided viewers with a highly-anticipated, emotional conclusion to the epic story which began over ten years ago when Tony Stark announced to the world, “I am Iron Man.” Since Iron Man launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2008, fans have gotten the chance to see Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assemble to take on all sorts of threats and challenges, but no adversary compared to Thanos and his all-powerful Infinity Gauntlet....

“Third-party applications will differentiate the iPhone from a growing number of its smartphone competitors,” analyst David Bailey told The Financial Post. The analyst pointed out that deployment of Mac OS X on the device offers a “more robust” application development environment for developers, with the App Store promising a much better user experience, likely to sell more applications than existing smartphone application purchasing systems. The analyst predicts applications will cost between 99-cents and $29....

Archero is an arcade action game available for both Android and iOS. The game was initially launched back in 2019 and is published and developed by Happy. In this game, the player is in control of an archer and the main aim of the player is to kill all the monsters and enemies. However, the player has to use different combinations and skills to take down any opponent. New stages and new combinations are a part of the journey of the game....

KGI’s Mingchi Kuo, an analyst with a solid track-record, and the man who came closest (almost) to calling opening weekend sales of the iPhone, now believes Apple shipped ‘just’ 11.4M iPhone 5c handsets in September, rather than the 17M he had earlier forecast, reports Business Insider. This makes some sense of the rampant discounting seen on the 5C (which actually started at Walmart before launch), but doesn’t necessarily mean that iPhone sales as a whole are down … While it seems clear that Apple and other outlets over-estimated early demand for the 5c despite limiting TV advertising to the cheaper of the two models, continuing stock shortages of the 5s suggest that this has been balanced by Apple under-estimating demand for the more expensive handset....

While solar panels and wind turbines are the two best-known methods of generating renewable energy, they aren’t the only approaches. The day after we learned that Apple has become a power company, we hear that it has just been given the go-ahead to employ a particularly cool method. Landfill gas utilization traps the methane gas given off from landfill sites and either converts it into pipeline-grade gas or uses it to generate electricity....

Avengers: Endgame subtly established the MCU version of the Illuminati - but the concept would be very different to the comics. The first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have come to a close, and all attention is turning to the future of the MCU. There’s a sense in which, going forward, the MCU can never be quite like the comics again. The comics depend upon a concept Stan Lee called the “Illusion of Change,” where stories change the status quo temporarily, and go full-circle so as not to damage a superhero’s core concept....

Essentially your input device will be transposed to your display in a virtual view. To break it down even further, your trackpad will be displayed on your computer monitor and you would control it via your monitor’s touch-screen. This of course gets into the patents and rumors of multi-touch iMacs. This does seem a bit counter-intuitive but there are many future-applications Apple could potentially use this patent for. One would be those touch iMacs with no physical input device, and another could possibly be a notebook with a second, smaller, display as the trackpad....

It’s 2022, and still, we are living in times where internet piracy is still a thing. We have come from times when these games and internet collectibles were too expensive to own by common people. But with time, games are getting affordable and more enjoyable to play. Cracked games or pirated games do have a negative impact on the game industry as well as developers. The truth is that game piracy is a very complicated topic with multiple strings attached....

Warning: SPOILERS for Arrested Development season 5 The Bluth family are back for (possibly) the final time in Arrested Development season 5 part two, which recently arrived on Netflix – here’s your guide to the sprawling cast. Arrested Development season 1 arrived in 2003 and while the show struggled somewhat in the ratings, it was acclaimed for its impeccable comic writing and ensemble cast. When the show ended with Arrested Development season 3 the cast, particularly Jason Bateman, began to pop up in multiple TV series and movies....

The OG Arrowverse show, Arrow is an impressive example of a what superhero TV series looks like done right. Easily the darkest and grittiest series in the Arrowverse, Arrow follows the exploits of Oliver Queen as he strives to atone for his past sins while defeating the criminals of Star City with help from Team Arrow. Due to the size of the main cast on the show (and the constantly revolving door of characters), Arrow has featured many relationships throughout its eight seasons....

The Bing Search app has been updated to include the translation feature first demoed at WWDC, as part of the initial unveiling of iOS 8 extensions. Very simply, downloading the update adds a Bing Translate action to your Activities list in Safari. Enable the action and then visit a website in a foreign language. Pressing the Translate action in the share sheet will machine translate the webpage’s text to the system language, by default....

Actor Ashton Kutcher has joined Lenovo as a product engineer. Kutcher’s experience in engineering includes… basically nothing, although he did play Steve Jobs in the 2013 biopic Jobs, so that has to count for something, right? Right? Kutcher’s first job at Lenovo will be using his celebrity status to market the company’s new “Yoga” tablet—an obvious first step for any aspiring product engineer (or, you know, celebrity endorser). The tablet, which Kutcher presumably had some “engineering” input on, is a flat aluminum enclosure with a rounded base that houses the power button....

AT&T is offering the first refurbished iPhone 5 units for resale that we have seen since the product launched just two months ago. It is unclear whether this is a temporary promotion for Black Friday or if these will be offered on a regular basis. Both black and white versions are available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. You can only purchase with a two-year contract, and pricing is $99, $199, and $299 respectively....
