David Leitch has birthed franchises like John Wick and taken others to new heights like with Deadpool, and with Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, he’s not only doing both - this is a spinoff to the street racing-turned-crime stunt series - but helping a new generation get their start. As part of the media blitz for Hobbs & Shaw, a tie-in digital-only advertisement for Brisk ice tea gave up-and-coming filmmaker Evans Alexandre the chance to make his own, canon part of the Fast & Furious world....

This makes CSS easier to manage. Another reason to use CSS shorthand properties is to save space which will allow for your web pages to load quicker....

CVS today joined Walmart in continuing to resist Apple Pay, instead launching its own mobile payments solution. In a press release, CVS officially announced CVS Pay, a barcode-based solution to paying for goods and prescriptions in the company’s retail locations. CVS Pay is very similar to Walmart Pay, namely in that it is operated entirely through the recently updated CVS app. Once a user adds their debit or credit card(s) to the CVS app, they present the cashier with a barcode or a pickup number displayed in the app....

Dancing with the Stars sent home its first contestant of the season. Sadly, there will be no last dance for one of the 12 celebrity competitors after their final goodbye. While the premiere episode of Dancing With The Stars seemed to mostly be about front runner James Van Der Beek and his top-scoring dance or Sailor- Brinkley Cook’s outstanding performance only after a couple days’ notice of joining the show on account of her mother being injured in her last practice, fans had to say their first goodbye of the season to Mary Wilson....

It has been raining phone launches of late, and while most of the attention still is hogged by the design-processor-display-price quartet, a recent trend that I’ve observed in many of your events is a stress on the camera of your phones. From Samsung on the Galaxy S6 to Huawei on the Honor 6 Plus to Xiaomi on the Mi 4i (yes, yes, Hugo Barra DID talk about HDR mode), the camera suddenly has got increased importance as far as being a phone component goes....

A prediction of the future from season 1 of Smallville came true in the Arrowverse crossover “Crisis on Infinite Earths”. While Lex Luthor actor Michael Rosenbaum declined to be in Crisis, the show still found a way to address his fate: Lex has become President of the United States. In the Batwoman episode of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) sent The Flash’s Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton), Earth-38’s Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) on a mission to find “the paragon of truth” who could help them save the multiverse....

Shattering its original goal four times over in its first day, fans of Critical Role - who call themselves “Critters” - have already raised more than $3 million at the time of writing in order to help make The Legend of Vox Machina a reality....

It would be hard to find a DC fan who has forgotten the vibrant posters for the 2016 Suicide Squad movie that birthed Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and the less worshipped Jared Leto version of the Joker. The posters seemed absolutely juxtaposed to the kind of aesthetics that the DCEU had been producing up until that point. The iconic colorful poster is getting a tribute cover. Typically, DC seems to favor a darker, grittier aesthetic with a key example being Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, which had been released just five months before Suicide Squad....

Several actors from the cast of the disappointing Green Lantern movie are getting second chances from the DCEU.

The ability to create deepfakes has been around for a long time; however, technology has improved drastically over time. With modern artificial intelligence and growing access to audio and videos of people on the Internet, deepfakes are becoming more convincing and easier to create than ever before. How deepfakes work Modern deepfakes are made possible by sophisticated artificial neural networks (ANNs). Using a library of training data, an ANN can be taught to extract patterns and trends in the data to create the desired output....

If your iPhone is running low on storage, and you use WhatsApp, it’s possible that videos, voice messages and photos stored in the app may be taking up significant space. Although you’ve always been able to delete WhatsApp media, the process is now a lot easier … For example, media flagged as ‘forwarded many times’ won’t be personal to you, so the app will let you select-all and then delete all of it....

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Deadpool #10 Deadpool is no stranger to pain and violence, but in this week’s Deadpool #10, the Merc With A Mouth faces off against a brand new villain - who breaks every single bone in his body. And yes, it gets even worse for Wade Wilson, but we’ll get to those details shortly.

A cam that can Webcams have become a hotbed of renewed interest among PC and accessory companies ramping up features such as resolution and AI-based color correction and framing. It’s also ramped up the level of interest in addressing old problems, such as improving the illusion of eye contact when one is facing the screen and not the camera. Indeed, while much of the work in improving under-display cameras, which must navigate the has focused on optimizing smartphone screen aesthetics uninterrupted by notches or punch holes, Microsoft recently shared that it is working overcoming the challenging solution that harnesses both topics and computation – in the hopes of embedding cameras in the center of a laptop’s display for more natural-looking video chats....

Apple and the government have long been engaged in a bitter war of words over encryption and security practices employed in Apple’s iOS devices, but a new Wall Street Journal report indicates that the Department of Justice is really starting to take the rhetoric to the next level.

Warning: The following feature contains SPOILERS for Crisis on Infinite Earths.

As amazing as Caity Lotz’s performance was, there was one problem with her speech - Sara’s mother, Dinah Drake Lance, was still alive and well....

The co-host of Dancing with the Stars, Erin Andrews, has called out trolls who criticized her body and style in an epic social media smackdown. The offensive comments were a result of a pair of glittery green pants Andrews wore on Dancing With the Stars. The trousers were olive green and clad in sequins. Andrews paired them with a black blouse, open-toe heels, and statement earrings. Although it was surprising to see her in something other than her signature evening gown or cocktail dress, Andrews’ sartorial choices on the show have been consistent with or complementary to each week’s theme....
