The well-known jailbreak application Cydia has received a fairly notable update today, bringing the utility to version 1.1.10. The new version of the app makes it much easier to manage sources and packages, and brings a refreshed iOS 7-style icon as well as other fixes. Most notably, much of the functionality within the Manage tab has been dispersed to other parts of the app. Previously, there were three sections inside Manage, but the tab has been renamed Installed and simply houses what was previously in the “Packages” section....

When Apple launched the Watch, it also designed a new system font to go with it: San Francisco. The typeface was specifically designed to combine a clean look with readability on the small display of the Apple Watch. We exclusively revealed last week that Apple doesn’t intend to limit San Francisco to the watch: it instead plans to adopt the new typeface for Macs, iPhones and iPads. San Francisco is expected to replace Helvetica Neue as part of iOS 9 and OS X 10....

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Crisis on Infinite Earths. The Arrowverse’s Crisis on Infinite Earths reversed one of the unintended consequences that The Flash’s time-travel inflicted upon Arrow’s Lyla Michaels and John Diggle. The 5-part crossover event brought back Sara Diggle, John and Lyla’s infant daughter, who had been erased from existence and replaced with a son named John Jr. as a side-effect of “Flashpoint.” The season 3 premiere of The Flash found Barry Allen uncharacteristically happy, living a normal life with his still-living parents....

We’ve covered numerous noteworthy Cydia tweaks over time and most of them tackle the iPhone’s user interface, letting you customize your iOS gadget to death. Interestingly, only a handful of tweaks mess with the stock Maps app in iOS, which is strange considering that the iOS mapping experience, although great, in many areas pales in comparison to Android. The Speed for Maps tweak (via Funky Space Money), as the name suggests, adds a cool speedometer icon to the Maps app that feels as if it were integral to the experience....

The most famous among them are Symantec, McAfee, Web-sense, etc....

[Contains SPOILERS for Deadpool #28.] There are any number of valid and wonderful reasons to get married: romance, true love, an exchange of goods and services, a union between warring factions, “*&%#-blocking Dracula.” For Deadpool, however, his marriage to polyamorous succubus Shiklah also happens to be his most functional relationship ever. Sure, they tend to fight a lot and sometimes innocent bystanders (and cities) get caught in the crossfire. Throughout it all, though, the strange union betwixt Weapon X-based mercenary and Monster Metropolis queen has managed to defy all odds and even wound up feeling oddly saccharine (for Deadpool) at times....

The first episode of Crisis on Infinite Earths confirmed that Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman has already faced Doomsday. Hoechlin’s version of the Man of Steel has won viewers over on Supergirl, to the extent that The CW has now signed off on a spinoff starring Hoechlin’s Superman and Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane. Supergirl season 5, episode 9 sees the return of Superman and Lois Lane in the first part of Crisis on Infinite Earths....

1. Trend of states prohibiting ransomware payments is spreading Increasingly, state legislatures have made it illegal to use public funds to pay ransom in ransomware cases. This reflects an ideological view that, if everyone agrees not to pay ransom, ransomware attacks will subside because they are unlikely to be successful for the ransomware threat actor.

Dave Bautista is “very excited” that James Gunn is back directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The Drax the Destroyer actor was Gunn’s biggest public supporter after Disney fired him from the third Guardians movie over his old offensive joke tweets last summer. Indeed, Bautista spent the following months openly campaigning for Gunn’s return, making it crystal-clear he felt the Mouse House had made the wrong call, and that he would only return for Guardians 3 without Gunn due to a contractual obligation....

For six seasons, the core group on teen drama Dawson’s Creek try to figure out this whole growing up thing while falling in love and planning for the future. Since Joey Potter (Katie Holmes), Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek), Jen Lindley (Michelle Williams), Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson), and Jack McPhee (Kerr Smith) are the main characters, they’re the people that fans have grown the most invested in. Capeside may be a small town (and an idyllic one at that) but whether Dawson and his friends are still at home or have moved to Boston after high school, they’re always interacting with other people....

While CSI: Crime Scene Investigation had enough drama between burglaries, violent crimes and just about every employee being framed, abducted or offed during the show’s run, writers opted to add in more drama with a few relationships. It’s impossible to throw a bunch of humans together and expect otherwise, and as with any popular TV show, some of the relationships worked really well while others flopped or worse. Some managed to do both....

The film proved to be a hit with $296 million grossed at the worldwide box office, proving the viability of the X-Men as a film property....

Warner Bros kicked off their DC Comics Extended Universe last year with the debut of Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - a follow up to the director’s Man of Steel. Although there was a great deal of buzz and excitement going into Batman V Superman, the film was largely maligned by critics, and inspired a divisive response among moviegoers. Fans hoped David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, the second of Warner Bros’ 2016 DCEU entries, could help the burgeoning superhero universe bounce back, but that turned out not to be the case when it received the same critical panning and divisive response....
