Apple has reportedly told several suppliers that it plans to boost iPhone production over last year’s levels, despite fears that the economic fallout of the coronavirus crisis could significantly dampen demand. Analysts had widely predicted a ‘supercycle’ of around 220M iPhone sales this year when the company launches its first 5G models, but with a global recession now expected due to coronavirus lockdowns, and record unemployment in the US and other countries, that idea has been thrown into doubt …...

Better Call Saul will be both longer and shorter than parent show Breaking Bad, depending on how you look at it. Early on in the run of the Saul Goodman prequel, which centers on the spiral of frustrated Jimmy McGill into his future status of Albuquerque’s prime criminal lawyer, it was assumed the show would never outrun Breaking Bad. The rise and fall of Heisenberg, Vince Gilligan’s zeitgeist-capturing opus aired on AMC for a total of fives seasons over six years (season 5 was split into two, slightly-shorter runs), taking Walter White from docile chemistry teacher to child-poisoning kingpin....

The latest DC Extended Universe film Birds of Prey explores the emancipation of one Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), but also the laundry list of problems that she’s caused for others in Gotham - most notably Roman Sionis a.k.a. Black Mask (Ewan McGregor). When he finally captures her, Roman is full of rage and ready to take it out on Harley, who has been a thorn in his side for years. In case you didn’t catch Roman’s every listed grievance in Birds of Prey, we’ve compiled a list that includes references to coffee, partisan politics, and several different bodily functions....

The team assembles, and Ewan McGregor appears as Black Mask, in new photos from the set of Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Starring Margot Robbie as her popular Suicide Squad character, one Harley Quinn, Birds of Prey brings together a crew of female DC characters including Huntress, Black Canary and Cassandra Cain. Birds of Prey is currently in the process of filming, with Cathy Yan behind the camera as director, and there have already been loads of set leaks giving fans their first unofficial glimpses of what the movie has in store....

Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam may not make an appearance in Shazam!, but it does do an excellent job setting up the future standalone film. Directed by David F. Sandberg, Shazam is the newest film to come from Warner Bros. and DC Films, but it is also one of the last that will happen on the timeline laid out by their original slate. When confirmation that a Shazam movie was on the way first came though, it was expected to have one major difference from the movie that is now playing in theaters....

MacRumors is reporting that Apple is readying Black MacBook Airs in its next refresh. Remember that when we first broke the news of a MacBook Air way back in 2007 (without Optical drives), we’d been told there was a black version. That information was later verified with the Ebay auction selling a prototype MacBook Air with a Black aluminum shell (pictured above, another shot below). We’ve also received an anonymous tip with a similar Lion/Sandy Bridge/Thunderbolt/Next few weeks release information....

There has been a lot of smoke about Apple’s augmented reality hardware ambitions, with conflicting reports about Apple’s work on an AR headset for games, and a sleeker AR glasses product. Today, Mark Gurman at Bloomberg released a comprehensive rundown on the dual device strategy, which will start with a headset scheduled for 2022 release. The headset will roughly resemble an Oculus Quest, but be much more technically advanced. The report also details how the headset was originally intended to work in concert with a hub, which would enable higher performance and graphical fidelity....

The most twisted villain the Justice League has ever faced is gathering an army, and infecting superheroes with evil. So fans can say goodbye to Jaime Reyes, known as the teenage hero Blue Beetle… and say hello to Scarab. Like all the other infected DC heroes, Jaime is getting a one-shot of his own this November. He may seem like something less than a heavyweight compared to the rest of The Batman Who Laughs’s army, but even if the die-hard fans know his worth, just as many were more excited about a Booster Gold cameo than Blue Beetle’s own movie....

If you enjoy baking but need close supervision from a grown-up, Drop’s Connected Scale and accompanying recipe app for the iPad may be just the thing. A clever combination of interactive recipes and automatic weighing means that the iPad effectively supervises you as you work. You can use the Connected Scale on its own, displaying the weight of ingredients on your iPad screen, but it’s when you use it with the free recipe app that it comes into its own … The app prompts you to carry out each step of the recipe – right down to placing a bowl on the scales....

If true, this rumor would blow away pre-released iPhones or anything else this year by a long shot. The Evening Standard is reporting that Apple is in talks to buy the Cambridge UK based processor designer, ARM for $8 billion. That is less than one fifth of Apple’s cash and short term holdings of over $40 Billion. ARM’s stock price was up 8.1 points on the news. Apple uses ARM chips in iPods, iPhones and its new A4 chips inside its iPad....

The Oscars. It’s the biggest movie-related event of Hollywood’s annual award season. The star-studded ceremony has also seen its fair share of amusing screw-ups happen over the years, some by presenters, some by winners, and some by the hosts themselves. For example, in 2009, presenter Alan Arkin read nominee Philip Seymour Hoffman’s name in the wrong order, while in 2014, John Travolta infamously introduced “Let it Go” singer Idina Menzel as Adele Dazeem....

With just over a week until Birds of Prey hits theaters, we thought it would be important to share some of the most notable stories featuring the standout characters of the film. Whether you’re new to DC comics or a lifelong fan, there’s plenty of content to check out ahead of the movie’s release. Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) features a large ensemble of popular DC characters....

The Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) creative team made intentionally surprising casting choices on the film. In some ways, live-action DC movies have long been known for their unexpected, yet ultimately successful casting choices. Michael Keaton, for example, was a controversial choice to star in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman thirty years ago, but is now considered by many to be one of the best Caped Crusaders ever....

The latest trailer for Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) might have revealed that Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) killed Jared Leto’s Joker. Both debuting in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad from 2016, the characters have yet to grace the big screen again — neither together nor separately. However, unlike the DCEU’s version of Clown Prince of Crime, his lady love’s next outing is already set via the upcoming Cathy Yan movie....

The first Black Widow movie trailer pays homage to Natasha Romoanoff’s (Scarlett Johansson) MCU debut in Iron Man 2. The Jon Favreau-directed film brought the Russian spy-turned-Avenger into the universe, making her the third member of Marvel Studios’ Earth Mightiest Heroes’ original roster. In the 2010 film, Nat was initially deemed a glorified secretary with some special skills. However, as her character progressed throughout her time in the MCU, she’s become a more fleshed out key player in the universe....

While cloud storage is great for certain things – documents, images, and such stuff – it can become unwieldy if you need access to large amounts of data quickly. Also, you’re constantly relying on having a good internet connection. One of the most convenient ways to carry data with you when you’re out and about is a USB flash drive. Yes, it’s 2022, and USB flash drives are still relevant....

A WordPress site mainly consists of three important parts: the database, user-created files such as plugins, themes, uploaded files, and finally, the WordPress core files. If anyone of these three parts is missing or corrupted, the website will not function properly or will not function at all. When we create a backup, we create a backup of the site database and the user-created files. WordPress core files can be downloaded and installed separately....

With Harley Quinn finally getting herself out of the Joker’s spotlight and claiming a movie for her own, it makes sense that DC would want to move forward with other female-led projects. What’s more, villains are all the craze at the moment! With such a rich history of characters and a roster depth almost unparalleled in comics, there’s plenty of female villains that could find themselves on the shortlist for this opportunity....

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is still projected to have the DCEU’s lowest opening weekend, despite great reviews. By all accounts, the Harley Quinn-led film is another winner for Warner Bros., continuing DC’s current hot streak of well-received titles. Critics are in agreement Birds of Prey is a fun, action-packed ride fueled by another dedicated Margot Robbie performance as the title character. And with Birds of Prey facing minimal competition at the box office this week, it’s all but assured to land the top spot on the charts....

The only thing better than a new Vin Diesel action flick is a zombie Vin Diesel action flick. Fortunately, on March 13th, we’ll get just that when Bloodshot lights up the cinema screens everywhere! Boasting the simple log-line of a slain soldier reanimating with superpowers, Bloodshot is just one in a long line of zombie-war films to hit the mainstream in the past few years. Whether it’s a big-budget Brad Pitt blockbuster or a German production from the 70s, zombie-war flicks have been around for quite some time....
