. AT&T recently revealed to us that they were going to block Apple’s built-in FaceTime over cellular unless users sign up for an expensive Mobile Share plan. Does this reek of loyal customer exploitation? Sure, FaceTime over cellular is a “new feature” of iOS 6, but so is Apple’s new Maps Turn-by-turn navigation. So is the PassBook Application and Photo Streams. They all will use more data. What is stopping AT&T from blocking those too?...

There have been many browsers released that promised to be a “more secure” browser than any other. Some examples include the Tor browser, DuckDuckGo, and many others. Avast, well known for its trusted antivirus software app, offers its own secure browser. But is it any good, and does it really provide a secure browsing experience? What Is Avast Secure Browser? Avast built Avast Secure Browser on the Chromium platform. This means that using the Avast browser gives you access to your Chrome account, bookmarks, and most other browser-based access features related to your Chrome account....

Founded in 2012, Wandercraft, based in Paris, has been around for a while, but it’s less known in the U.S. than rival Ekso Bionics, long the marquee player in the space. Like Ekso, Wandercraft was founded to create a mobility device to supplant wheelchairs for people suffering mobility issues. Also like Ekso, Wandercraft narrowed its focus with its first commercial product and is targeting the therapeutic healthcare market (Ekso has since branched into industrial markets, including auto manufacturing)....

From November, Australia’s international border will reopen, granting vaccinated citizens and their families long-awaited freedoms. Since March 2020, Australia has had some of the tightest border controls in the world, including a ban on leaving the country. Although the policy has been praised for contributing to the Covid reduction, it has also resulted in the contentious separation of families. PM Scott Morrison stated, “It’s time to give Australians their lives back....

The superhero TV show Arrow is primarily an action show, with lots of fights and epic showdowns between its heroes and villains. However, during its long course, the heroes have also managed to find time for romance, even though it wasn’t always easy.

Arrow began The CW’s large Arrowverse that has and continues to bring on several DC Comics characters as more shows get added to the network’s line-up. For 8 years, Oliver Queen helped create TV’s Justice League, forming several relationships along the way. However, with Oliver being the broody complicated vigilante that he was, he had some different dynamics with various characters throughout his time. While Oliver certainly got along great with most characters, there were definitely a few people in his life that were messy, to say the least....

Ahead of Arrow’s series finale tonight, star Stephen Amell has posted a goodbye message, saying farewell to the iconic hood. After eight seasons, the flagship Arrowverse show is coming to a close. According to Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim, the series finale will serve as an “epilogue” to Oliver Queen’s story.

Was Nick Fury’s secret Skrull identity teased in Avengers: Age of Ultron? The shapeshifters have just been introduced to the MCU in Captain Marvel, but one key piece of dialogue puts a rather innocuous moment in the 2015 movie in a different light. The 1995-set Captain Marvel showed audiences a younger, still two-eyed Fury uncertain where his future lies in S.H.I.E.L.D. In fact, it was his experience with Carol Danvers that inspired him to stick around, become Director and spearheaded “The Avengers Initiative”....

Avengers: Endgame co-directors, the Russo brothers, have shared a fan-made Captain America tribute that’s sure to bring a tear to the eye. Chris Evans’ iteration of Steve Rogers first debuted in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger and was immediately taken to fans’ hearts as Marvel’s most famous U.S. patriot. Since then, Evans has been a core figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in a number of solo movies and team-ups and experiencing a rollercoaster of highs and lows from discovering his best friend Bucky was still alive, to losing his best friend Bucky as a result of Thanos’ Infinity Stone-powered finger snap....

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Avengers: Endgame. The Avengers’ triumph in Avengers: Endgame has some horrible implications for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although Thanos won at the cliffhanger ending of Avengers: Infinity War, it was always a safe bet that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes would successfully avert or undo the snap. For one thing, Marvel had far too many projects in the works featuring heroes who were snapped - most notably Spider-Man: Far From Home, long since confirmed to be set minutes after Avengers: Endgame....

AT&T is on a spree to push the latest Android 10 updates for its LG phones. Notably, the Android 10 update is also now live for LG Arena 2 smartphone users.

Avengers: Endgame brings home the Screen Actor Guild Awards’ Best Action Ensemble. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, with the script from Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the movie culminated the MCU’s Infinity Saga. It featured mostly all prominent characters in the franchise for an epic fight against Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his minions. Following 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, which left Earth’s Mightiest Hero’s at their lowest after their defeat from Thanos (Josh Brolin), Endgame had its work cut for it....

Readers are writing in to tell us that AT&T is backlogged on their iPhone activations while Verizon and Sprint appear to be handling the load a little better. One reason is likely sheer numbers. Our survey (below) shows that US users are picking AT&T over Verizon and Sprint by a significant margin (mostly for the Data speed). We’ve also heard that Apple was expecting this and stocking up to five times as many AT&T iPhone 4Ss as Sprint or Verizon iPhones....
