David Fincher has built an extensive filmography of quiet, reserved thrillers that emphasize realism and suspense. And even in a hyper-stylized film like Fight Club, its violence and tone are designed to impose on reality. Fincher’s sheer level of authenticity and meticulous direction make tasteful artistry out of the most horrific things. And such sequences are just as methodical as the overall films, creating an immersive, atmospheric escalation. Combined with careful breaths of character development, this cinematic demeanor is the perfect formula for heightened fear....

The shocking defeat came in Justice League #34, after the previous issues saw the team slit up to recruit help from across time and space....

Amplification attacks are nothing new and have helped attackers knock over servers with short busts of traffic as high as 3.47 Tbps. Microsoft last year mitigated attacks on this scale that were the result of competition between online-gaming players. But there’s a new attack on the horizon. Akamai, a content distribution network firm, says it has seen a recent wave of attacks using “TCP Middlebox Reflection”, referring to transmission control protocol (TCP) – a founding protocol for secured communications on the internet between networked machines....

Verticus, you see, is a game which is all about falling. The rationale is simple – an alien race called the Obliterators have found their way to the Earth’s core where they are building a machine that will destroy the world.

Market intelligence company Counterpoint Research suggests that the delayed iPhone 12 launch last year may well have worked out in Apple’s favor. The firm says there were two benefits in the delay… Apple sales fell Counterpoint’s headline is that European smartphone sales in 2020 were down 14% on the previous year, and that Apple wasn’t immune, with sales falling 4% from 2019 levels. But delayed iPhone 12 launch had benefits But it notes that Apple fared better than the market as a whole, and believes the delayed iPhone 12 launch may have been good news rather than bad for the Cupertino company....

According to every pet owner in both the fictional and the real world, pets are people too. They have their own personalities, mannerisms, and moral code. These animals are as unique as the pattern of their coat and deserve to have those unique qualities appreciated and explored.

You know, we love those words. And we love the concept of Android One, notwithstanding all our reservations about it (read our initial thoughts about Android one here). The problem is that we first heard those words almost five months ago. When Android One was launched in India by Sundar Pichai himself. It was a launch by three very identical phones (so identical that we had to combine them all into one massive review)....

Other companies may be deliberately defying GDPR, it is argued today.

Controversy has surrounded Dakota Fanning’s casting in Sweetness in the Belly, but the whitewashing backlash appears to be misguided. Directed by Zeresenay Berhane Mehari, the 2019 drama follows a Muslim Ethiopian woman, prompting many to question why Fanning - a white American actress - would be considered for the role (and actually cast). In this case, the answer lies in the source material. As cinema continues to diversify, authentic character portrayals are crucial, whether it’s from an established star or an up-and-coming performer....
