Update: President Trump has blocked Broadcom’s takeover of Qualcomm, citing national security concerns. Some 13 years after Intel turned down the opportunity to make the CPU for the upcoming iPhone, it is now considering the world’s biggest ever tech acquisition to deal with the threat that decision continues to pose today. In 2005, when Apple was working on the first-generation iPhone to be launched in 2007, Steve Jobs invited Intel to pitch for the CPU business for the planned smartphone....

While DC and Marvel have been building their comic book universes for decades, their cinematic ones are still pretty new. Right at the dawn of the new millennium, Fox kicked off their X-Men universe, with Marvel following suit in 2008 with their more Avengers-centric share continuity. Last but not least, DC finally got going on their extended universe with 2013’s Man of Steel. Since each began, they’ve grown exponentially, with a number of movies planned for the next fews years and plenty of others sketched out beyond that....

A big update is currently rolling out to users of the excellent 1Password application that includes support for the Apple Watch. According to the company’s blog post, the watch app will let you access important information like credit card numbers and one-time passwords (introduced in a recent update) directly from your wrist. Without a proper keyboard or Touch ID scanner on the Apple Watch, how exactly you’ll unlock the miniaturized password manager has yet to be revealed, but it will likely rely on the iPhone’s security features to make sure that only authorized users have access to your data....

Luke Skywalker is one of the most mysterious people in the galaxy. While The Last Jedi gave us a bit more information on how he went from being an intergalactic hero to an isolated hermit, the details of what exactly went down between the events of Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens are still a bit unclear. The most significant thing to happen to Luke during this time was obviously his role in training his nephew, Ben Solo, leading to Solo’s transformation into the villainous Kylo Ren....

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel fans were introduced to an unprecedented relationship that they did not expect to see. Even though some fans were willing to go with the newfound romance between Bruce Banner / the Hulk and Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, a majority of fans agreed that they simply did not click on-screen. While other Marvel couples (or imaginary couples) have been put together by the Marvel fan base, like Captain America and Sharon Carter, Star Lord and Gamora, Spider-Man and Shuri, and probably the most shocking “ship” of them all, Captain America and Bucky, Hulk and Black Widow did not receive the same treatment....

From the earliest days of video gaming, when a designer named Warren Robinett hid his name in a secret room of his game Adventure, secrets have been a big part of the medium. Even if Robinett didn’t intend for anyone to actually find the pioneering Easter egg, he inadvertently began a tradition that remains alive and well in gaming to this day and has taken many different forms over the decades....

13 Reasons Why prides itself on tackling difficult issues head on, but its approach has resulted in many controversies. Based on Jay Asher’s novel of the same name, 13 Reasons Why arrived on Netflix in 2017. Its first season told the story of Hannah Baker’s suicide, through a series of flashbacks which detailed the “13 reasons why” she had taken her own life. Those reasons included a culture of bullying and drugs at her school, which resulted in many students making poor decisions and then trying to deal with the regrettable consequences....

The multiverse is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and with is some powerful Marvel characters. While the MCU teased it in Spider-Man: Far From Home, it turned out to be a misdirection, and the movie just teased fans with something that didn’t end up happening. That all changed with Loki, and now the multiverse is real and threatens the Marvel Universe. It just takes one quick look at the comics to see how dangerous the multiverse is for the world in general....

2020’s movie calendar got off to a bad start, as Birds of Prey, Dolittle and The Rhythm Section all bombed badly at the box office. In contrast, 2019 was a record-breaking year for blockbusters. Not only did Avengers: Endgame become the highest-grossing movie of all time, but the year also rewarded some releases whose success wasn’t quite as guaranteed, such as Knives Out, Joker and Detective Pikachu. After such a strong year for cinema, 2020 always looked to be a quieter proposition, particularly in terms of blockbusters, and with Star Wars on hiatus, the MCU in transition and Pixar focusing on originals, studios that don’t have a mouse as their mascot might’ve been hoping for less competition....

The 2021 iPhone display may use 10-20% less power than the iPhone 12, thanks to a more power-efficient technology, according to a new report today. There’s even an outside possibility of some kind of always-on display on next year’s iPhones. The report says that LG is preparing to create a new type of OLED panel for next year’s iPhones, using a technology known as (LPTO). This is currently used in the Apple Watch Series 5, and is part of the secret to the always-on display …...

If there were three defining 1980s toy lines, they were G.I. Joe, Transformers, and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. There was just something about He-Man– maybe it was the full-tilt mix of fantasy and science fiction. Maybe it was the unabashed, unapologetic cheesiness of it all – you can’t get much more on the nose than a multi-faced guy named Man-E-Faces. Regardless of what was behind Masters of the Universe’s unique magic, it entranced many a child and adolescent over the many years since it first premiered back in 1983....

The good news is that it’s possible to download subtitles for movies and TV shows that don’t come with them already. There are a number of useful websites that can help you track down the subtitles you need. Here are some of the best sites to download subtitles for movies and TV....

As far as post-apocalyptic nuclear dystopian video games go, it’s hard to get weirder than Fallout 76. Long-term fans of the Fallout franchise love the unpredictability that the post-nuclear war environment can bring. In addition to the mutated people and animals caused by massive doses of radiation, there are hideout shelter “vaults” that weren’t always kind to the survivors. In the franchise, some vaults were built for people to simply live and wait out the apocalypse, while others were constructed to experiment on the very people stuck within....

It’s no secret that Apple’s Late 2013 Mac Pro looks strikingly similar to a (really futuristic, shiny, insanely great) trash can; take a look for yourself. You can even replace the Trash icon on your OS X Dock with a… Mac Pro. Let’s just agree there’s a certain…resemblance. That inspired one Apple fan to build a Hackintosh based on the new Mac Pro design using, yes, an actual trash can (specifically, an Authenics Lunar <–check scale) for the casing....

Star Trek is a series that has survived the ages. (And by ages, we mean a couple of decades.) Since 1966, when the original series aired, some form of a Star Trek show has existed. It’s hard to understand the initial appeal of the series when you just look at the first show, but the love it has inspired is easy to see when you look at its history as a whole....

Action flicks, horror films, and raunchy comedies are too often trampled upon, while biopics and moody character studies can receive an overwhelming amount of praise. Sometimes you’ll totally avoid a movie that was lambasted by critics only to stumble upon it years later and discover that it definitely wasn’t that bad. Or worse yet, you’ll go into a movie thinking that it’s going to be life-changing only to discover that it was simply better than average....
