In addition to its exciting storylines, the show notably incorporated different ciphers into the show for viewers to decode each week....

Organisations that already are set up to comply with Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), though, have a good foundation on which to work towards PIPL adherence. Passed in August, the Chinese legislation came into force last month, laying out ground rules around how data should be collected, used, and stored. It outlines data processing requirements for companies based outside of China, which included passing a security assessment conducted by state authorities....

Whenever an actor is interviewed regarding their work in a superhero film, the first question they’re asked is usually something along the lines of, “Did you read comics as a kid?” Sometimes they say yes, sometimes they say no. Either way, it’s unlikely they’re full-on comic book fanatics. In the case of David Dastmalchian, it’s clear he’s as passionate about comic books as he is about his career as an actor and writer....

But the delayed availability of this year’s flagship iPhones mean that the two quarters are not remotely comparable … Last year’s fiscal Q4 included initial sales of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro....

Warner Bros. has moved Denis Villeneuve’s Dune back a month to December 2020, while at the same time scheduling Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic to arrive in 2021. In an era where franchises and IPs rule the box office, WB is hoping to bring Frank Herbert’s Dune back to the big screen and successfully kick-off a series of films and TV shows based in that universe. They’ve certainly found a worthy candidate for the job in Villeneuve, who’s coming off directing back to back critical hits in Arrival and Blade Runner 2049....

The Arrowverse’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” made the same mistakes as Avengers: Infinity War. The last two years have seen both Marvel Studios and DCTV achieve unprecedented success. In the case of the MCU, the Infinity Saga came to a dramatic close, with Thanos the Mad Titan snapping his fingers and erasing half the lives in the universe. Avengers: Infinity War grossed over $2 billion worldwide, while Avengers: Endgame made over $2....

Apple has reportedly been working with several national retailers about supporting its mobile payment system, and now a new report suggests that two pharmacy chains, CVS and Walgreens, have agreed to join up with Apple to roll the system out in their stores. The system is expected to be built into the iPhone 6 when it launches later this month. Re/code notes that while Apple and Walgreens decided not to comment on the matter, CVS apparently issued a bit of a rebuttal, indicating that the company had no idea what type of payment system Cupertino was working on and had no way of knowing if they’d be able to support it....

For many fans, DC’s upcoming slate of movies is more exciting than what Marvel Studios has planned for Phase 4 of the MCU. Between 2020 and 2022, DC Films is currently developing more big-name properties than Marvel, who has been leading the industry in comic book film adaptations for the last decade. Marvel Studios has been dominating at the box office for years. Since 2016, Marvel has released seven movies that have grossed at least $1 billion at the worldwide box office....

But as the heroes fell… how did the villains fare against the zombie apocalypse? That question will now be answered, thanks to the newly revealed DCeased: Unkillables beginning in February of 2020. There’s a good chance readers of DCeased were too enthralled watching Batman die and pass on the mantle, or seeing Hal Jordan killed by the next Green Lantern to wonder whose fate they weren’t seeing play out....

Scientists and experts are concerned with possible implications of Artificial Intelligence. Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates are just a few luminaries that publicly expressed their concerns about the future of “thinking machines”. The potential benefits are huge, but it is quite impossible to predict the evolution of Artificial Intelligence. Part of the scientific community hopes that the future society will be able to eradicate war, disease, and poverty, all thanks to AI, but another wing speculates that a generation of droids could consider human beings at risk for its survival, and for this reason the machines will declare war with the humans....
