Case designs and claimed leaked sketches are a less than wholly reliable method of predicting what the new iPhone 6 might look like, but we do seem to be hearing a fairly consistent story of a significantly slimmer handset with a rounded back. Very much like a larger iPod Touch, in fact. Slimmer is likely to be welcomed, though there are those among us who’d prefer to stick to the existing thickness in return for greater battery-life, but with the iPhone expected to be available in 4....

If you recognize the actor playing Humperdoo in Preacher, here’s why. First introduced in Preacher season 2, Humperdoo was the big secret Herr Starr and the Grail were hiding from the world - a descendant of Jesus Christ whose bloodline had been protected and hidden for 2000 years. Unfortunately, repeated inbreeding has left Humperdoo with severe mental abnormalities. Unable to converse besides the odd nonsensical word, Humperdoo seems to only take pleasure in tap dancing and expelling his bodily fluids over other people....

The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), a consumer advocacy group which has received large donations from Apple and Alphabet, has drafted a privacy bill it would like to see made federal law. The bill would ban the collection of biometric data – like fingerprints and face-recognition data – as well as precise location data unless specifically needed to provide consumers with a service they have chosen to use …...

If you’re anything like me, you try out a lot of apps but keep only a small proportion of them. As some of them need Dropbox access, it’s easy to find that you’ve authorized a whole bunch of apps you no longer use … Dropbox now makes it easier to check which apps you’ve authorized to access your account, and to quickly de-authorize those you no longer use. This is a follow-up to the new web user interface rolled out back in April....

In 2019, Florence Pugh became a star. Though she had some independent film cred from 2016’s Lady Macbeth, Florence Pugh’s 2019 movies are so impressive that the Academy Awards will make a huge mistake if they let it go unrecognized, and she is a viable candidate as both Best Actress for Midsommar and Best Supporting Actress for Little Women (2019). As 2020’s awards season develops, Pugh’s snub looks more and more likely....

Outlander has proven to be a huge success across the world. Based on a series of novels by Diana Gabaldon, the show follows the life of British nurse, Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe). Claire finds herself falling through time and arriving in the eighteenth-century, where she falls in love with a Scottish highlander. Before Claire’s marriage to Jamie (Sam Heughan), she had also been married to ex-soldier Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies). Though Frank still had his terrible moments in the show, Menzies’ interpretation made it much easier to like the character, portraying a much softer side to the soldier rather than the chauvinist seen in the books — which is mostly what’ll we focus on....

Acclaimed director Bong Joon-ho’s new movie Parasite gets an official trailer as the film prepares to hit the States this fall. The director of such international hits as The Host, Memories of Murder, Mother, Netflix’s Okja, and perhaps most famously, Snowpiercer, Joon-ho is the rare kind of director whose name on a project is enough to garner widespread attention. That also helps his films when it comes to marketing them to American audiences, as is made evident by the way Neon has chosen to push his new film ahead of its October release in theaters....

The Pentagon has warned service members to avoid using readily available DNA test kits as they could be a threat. Over the last few years, home DNA kits have become big business allowing people to send in a sample and get back a variety of information about their background. More recently, there’s been an increase in the awareness of the privacy issues surrounding handing over your most personal of data....

Cloud gaming is the recent trend among the gaming fraternity that includes the companies involved in manufacturing gaming devices. Many of the companies like Google with their Stadia Cloud Gaming and Microsoft with their Project xCloud are pushing hard to develop cloud gaming. Another processor giant, Nvidia, has joined the bandwagon of making cloud gaming more feasible and accessible. The GeForce Now, it is arguably the strongest of all the cloud gaming development you might have heard....

One of the coolest monsters found in Pokemon Sword and Shield is a Dragon/Grass-type creature known as Applin, which is capable of evolving into either Flapple or Appletun. It’s hard to believe that a pocket monster that resembles a worm inside of an apple can steal the limelight from other Pokemon, given some of the awesome new Galar forms found in Sword and Shield. Chief amongst those creatures is Galarian Ponyta and Sirfetch’d, both of which are locked as version exclusives for Pokemon Shield and Pokemon Sword, respectively....

Though casual of tabletop gaming are more than aware of the alignment system in Dungeons & Dragons, which allows players to both choose and define their characters moral stances in the world (and by consequence, certain aspects of their personality) it is important to note that it is not the only element that goes into making a character who they are. Their class (bard, fighter, paladin, etc.) also determines a certain number of their traits and the ways that they interact with the world....

Insecure Cryptographic Storage: Insecure Cryptographic Storage vulnerability occurs when an application fails to encrypt sensitive data or encrypt data with poorly designed older cryptographic algorithms. Poorly designed cryptographic algorithms may include use of inappropriate ciphers, weak encryption method and poor key handling. This flaw can lead to sensitive information disclosure to attackers. This is very dangerous for e-commerce websites. Most of the times, attackers do not need to break the cryptographic algorithm to gain unauthorized access....

Last year, Apple started selling refurbished iPhone models through its online store for the first time. This offered customers the chance to get an unlocked device at a slightly lower price point than normal. A year to the day later, Apple is seemingly sold out of refurbished iPhones, but they’re still readily available elsewhere at even better prices… Apple was selling the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus through its refurbished store....

At least in the current beta seed, the iOS 10 lock screen has a bit of a loophole due to the new expanded notification system that developers and public beta users should be aware of. In short: anyone can view and reply to iMessages or text messages from the lock screen without entering the device passcode or authenticating with Touch ID. This security issue persists even while the ‘Reply With Message’ setting is disabled and applies to other apps like Twitter as well....

The Punisher star Jon Bernthal says he and Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland helped with each other’s audition tapes to land roles in their respective Marvel TV and movie projects. Holland and Bernthal, of course, are two of the newest kids on the Marvel block: Holland made his debut as the MCU Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, with Spider-Man: Homecoming and the Avengers: Infinity War films still to come....

As this photo of the original Mophie Juice Pack and Tylt’s Energi for iPhone 6 shows, iPhone battery cases haven’t changed much over the years. They’ve existed for almost as long as iPhones, and remained ubiquitous due to Apple’s continued focus on thinness over longevity. That hasn’t been great for consumers: as 9to5’s Seth Weintraub put it, people are more impacted by their phones’ battery life than an extra 2mm of thinness....

The new arrangement is two-fold: First, Oracle and Telefonica will jointly offer cloud platform-as-a-service and applications to enterprises and public sector organizations. Next, Telefonica will serve as a hosting partner for Oracle’s upcoming cloud region in Madrid. Oracle has been expanding its cloud business across the globe rapidly – the Madrid region is one of at least 44 cloud regions Oracle plans to have open by the end of 2022....

The history of film is full of successful genre mash-ups, with just about every possible pairing having happened to good effect at least once. Two genres that often go great together are sci-fi and horror, which makes sense when one considers that both genres often deal with things that transcend humanity’s normal perception of reality or understanding of provable science. Arguably the most revered sci-fi/horror crossover film of all-time is Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic Alien, which, of course, went on to birth quite the lucrative franchise for studio 20th Century Fox....

The original ending for Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol saw Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt become the new secretary of the IMF and pass the torch to a different franchise lead. Released in 2011, the fourth installment of the popular action series introduced audiences to Jeremy Renner’s William Brandt. At the time, Renner was a rising star, coming off consecutive Oscar nominations and lining up potential franchise breakouts. His joining Mission: Impossible was interpreted by many as a way for Paramount to transition from Cruise to a new headliner that could carry the movies moving forward....

When news of Patrick Stewart’s return to the beloved character of Captain Jean-Luc Picard broke at the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention in 2018, fans erupted into applause. One of the most well-respected actors was returning to one of the most well-loved characters in the history of the Star Trek franchise, and CBS was going to detail just what had happened to the intrepid Captain of the USS Enterprise-D in the twenty years since his last appearance....
