Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Chloe Bennet - better known to Marvel fans as Quake - has explained how her character is different in the Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors animated movie. Ironically enough, Bennet describes the portrayal as “more like Skye,” the younger version of the character she plays in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors animated movie is one of the most exciting Marvel animated projects. It features a tremendous voice-cast, with Bennet playing Quake, her fellow S....

Dark Phoenix bombed at the box office, and its opening weekend isn’t even in the same ballpark as other installments in the franchise. Kicking off in 2000, the X-Men film series helped usher in the ongoing golden age of superhero cinema with a pair of well-received box office hits. Following X2: X-Men United, the quality of the films varied (to say the least) on a film-by-film basis. There were nadirs like X-Men Origins - Wolverine and highs such as X-Men: Days of Future Past....

Fans are driven by the release of The Mandalorian, a new tale centered in the Star Wars universe as well as releases of live-action movies like Lady and the Tramp and Noelle. To account for all of this, the price for Disney+ is $6.99 a month - a cheaper option than most other streaming services, though. As for the user guidelines, Disney+ is allowing up to four concurrent streams at any time....

There are so many superheroes at large in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a franchise that has expanded like Bruce Banner’s waistline since Iron Man first took flight in 2008. No fewer than 76 of these characters will share the screen in Avengers: Infinity War but, and as the die-hard fans will tell you, many more are at large on the fringes of the action. Tony Stark, Captain America, and Doctor Strange are impossible to miss when they take centre stage to protect the world from threats both terrestrial and cosmic....

The Honda Clarity EV, Honda’s new all-electric model for its Clarity line, is officially arriving August 1st as the latest vehicle to come with Apple’s CarPlay in-dash platform stock. The Clarity will sport a Display Audio touchscreen that supports CarPlay in addition to Android Auto and the company’s Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistive technologies, which includes autonomous braking, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and Lane Keeping Assist features....

Guardians of the Galaxy became Marvel’s surprise hit of 2014, capturing the audience with its charm, wit, and intergalactic adventure, in addition to its pulse-pounding classic rock soundtrack. A ragtag band pulled together from the “dregs” of the cosmos, the Milano’s crew introduced the world to the alien-human hybrid Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), an assassin-turned-hero in Gamora (Zoe Saldana), a socially-awkward revenge-machine named Drax (Dave Bautista), wise-cracking space raccoon Rocket (Bradley Cooper), and of course, the chipper tree-monster, Groot (Vin Diesel)....

The Highlander TV series introduced fans to Methos, the oldest known immortal. The original Highlander starred Christopher Lambert (Mortal Kombat) as Connor MacLeod, an immortal Scotsman who is forced to fight other immortals until only one remains and can the mysterious Prize. The film was a stylish adventure packed with a rich mythology and likable characters, but since it was made just before franchises became a thing, it ended on a very conclusive note....

Home Alone is one of those classic Christmas movies that you watch again and again every year. Released in 1990, it stars Macaulay Culkin as Kevin, a young boy who, in the hustle and bustle of leaving on vacation with extended family, is accidentally left home alone. With two hapless burglars in the area, Kevin is forced to defend his home from attack and comes up with some really creative ways to do it....

Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal published an in-depth look at The Home Depot’s recent security breach of its payment data systems, in which 56 million credit card accounts and 53 million email addresses of customers were compromised. A root cause of the security breach: a Windows vulnerability in the retailer’s main computer network. “Once inside Home Depot’s systems after gaining credentials from the outside vendor, the hackers were able to jump the barriers between a peripheral third-party vendor system and the company’s more secure main computer network by exploiting a vulnerability in Microsoft Corp....

Tim Taylor was the man on Home Improvement who provided laughs to viewers for a total of eight seasons. His show called Tool Time was inspirational and hilariously unique in a way only Tim Allen could make it. Those who binge-watched the show or watched it air live might know a lot about it, but there are some key hidden details they probably missed. We have created a list of these details for you to look back on and reminisce as you remember the genuine laughs the show provided....

King used his visibility and influence to advocate for nonviolent solutions to poverty, racism, and militarism. The Atlanta-based King Center calls these issues “the triple evils” and argues that these problems are interrelated. Each of the three is a broad category encompassing many related issues. Examples of poverty include unemployment, homelessness, and illiteracy. Racism includes prejudices, sexism, ageism, homophobia, and stereotypes. And militarism includes terrorism, human trafficking, and war. If you work in tech, consider these suggestions on how your efforts, your company, and your employees can honor King’s legacy by working to address the triple evils....

In the world of comic book movies, there’s one fact that nearly anyone - anyone - will ine up to confirm: more than anyone else, it’s Kevin Feige who’s responsible for the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Rising from the ranks of producer on Marvel projects like Daredevil and X-Men, Feige wound up not just overseeing the biggest Avengers blockbusters, but guiding even risky properties like Guardians of the Galaxy or Ant-Man to box office success....

The decision to move ahead with what is undoubtedly a big-budget series based on the trilogy of books from Philip Pullman is a complicated one, in part due of the theological debate stirred up by the books themselves and because the series was already a failed theatrical franchise with the CGI-heavy The Golden Compass, from director Chris Weitz in 2007. HBO and BBC One’s adaptation is no less dependent on CGI, as the series also aims to depict the dæmons — talking animal companions of humans that are physical manifestations of the human soul — and fully realize another world that is much like the one viewers live in, but with some key differences....

Door sensors are a central part of any security system. I’ve written about my experience with abode in the past, and I use its door sensors for my primary Homekit triggers with automations as well as security alerts for entry. Since abode is monitored, I know that if a door is opened while I am gone, I’ll get an alert. But what do you get if you only want a door sensor for HomeKit automations or want an unmonitored alarm for entry?...

[SPOILERS for Homeland season 5 ahead.] - Season 6 of Showtime’s politically meditative crime drama Homeland is due to air this coming September and by all accounts, will see a return to a U.S setting after exploring socially relevant locations such as Berlin and Islamabad in recent seasons. It has previously been revealed that season 6 will find its characters in New York City after their recent stint fighting terrorist threats in Europe....

If you have registered a domain name and are ready to move forward with setting up your internet presence, the next step is to decide how and where you are going to host your name servers (DNS). While it is possible to set up your own DNS infrastructure, it may be hard to justify when you consider the requirements in implementing a DNS infrastructure. To set up your own DNS infrastructure, you need at a minimum, the following:...

As we reported in May, Apple is working on a split-screen multitasking feature for iPad apps for a version of iOS 8. The feature, akin to the key productivity function on the Microsoft Surface, was not announced at WWDC last week, but code references to the feature have been found across the iOS 8 Software Development Kit. Now, developer Steven Troughton-Smith has dug further into the upcoming split-screen multitasking feature and has hacked the iOS 8 iPad Simulator to make the function partially work....

One of the headline features of the HomePod mini is the new intercom system where you can send messages to different rooms in the house. Intercom will work across HomePods, as well as iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. As much as I am looking forward to trying out the intercom system, as a dad of three, I need less noise in our house, so I am really enjoying using Signals for HomeKit....

For eight highly watched and critically acclaimed seasons, House was comfortably the most compelling medical drama on television. The main part of what made the series work so well was, of course, none other than Hugh Laurie’s often unhinged and unconventional expert diagnostician Dr. Gregory House. From day one, House is unapologetic about any part of his personality and lifestyle that may offend others, whether it’s his biting wit or his tendency to pop Vicodin pills whenever he feels like it....

Windows 10 version 1703 brought with it new features in terms of security for a Windows device. This includes the addition of Windows Defender Antivirus in the Windows security section. So now Windows users don’t need a third-party antivirus program anymore. All they need is the latest version of Windows installed on their system. Having the latest version of Windows will mean the Windows defender antivirus program will have the latest definitions....
