Last year’s entries in the highly popular Pokémon franchise, Pokémon Sword and Shield, took an interesting new approach to the original tradition of the games. Although there have been conflicting views from fans, the games have received largely positive reviews for certain features. These include the exciting new gym battle system and its innovative graphics. Since the gameplay of these games differs considerably from the previous entries in the franchise, there are certain aspects new players need to familiarize themselves with....

While Marvel Studios is notoriously secretive and very protective of their in-house development process and materials for their films, the entertainment industry titan has never been shy about releasing preliminary concept art for a number of their high-profile titles. Maybe it’s the fact that the films themselves are based on comic books, but it’s not unusual for gorgeous, previously unseen pieces of concept art from Marvel films to be released on a fairly regular basis, both from the studio itself and the artist who created the pieces....

Shares of California-based Apple broke a new record today. Image via Chronic Shares of Apple, Inc. hit a new high this morning. Just as you thought passing 10 percent of all of NASDAQ value was too good to be true, shares of Apple continue to rise and challenge the most intrepid analyst out there. Blame it on an early-March iPad 3 launch hype, but in NASDAQ trading this morning, AAPL crossed $500 a share for a market valuation north of $460 billion....

It is the first win for the young AI startup in the energy sector. “The energy sector has historically been a monster consumer of compute, and they’ve generally been quiet about it,” said Cerebras co-founder and CEO Andrew Feldman in an interview with ZDNet. “The energy market is four times the size of the market that Google and all the rest play in – it’s unbelievably big,” he said, referring to the online advertising and shopping market....

If he immerses us into that movie’s world immediately with a brilliant opening shot, then we’re hooked for the rest of the movie, whether its runtime is 99 minutes (Reservoir Dogs) or 187 minutes (the roadshow cut of The Hateful Eight)....

Vanderpump Rules is currently on its eighth season, and it’s been a wild ride since the series began in 2013. Over the past seven years, the cast members have dated each other, cheated on each other, and much more. While every fan of the show has their favorite moments and cast members, there are overall some seasons that are better than others. While the show started out rather fascinating, it took it a while to hit its stride, and, like many long-running reality television series, it’s struggling to continue with the same momentum as earlier seasons....

What it does is allow your devices to connect to your neighbor’s Wi-Fi, and to allow your neighbor’s devices to connect to yours – all without exchanging passwords. All the same, I’d echo the ArsTechnica cautionary note. Information customers would deem sensitive, like the contents of a packet sent over the Sidewalk network, is not seen by Sidewalk; only the intended destinations (the endpoint and application server) possess the keys required to access this information....

Moreover, a new page has been setup which indicates that the new version will not be Android 5.0 as many were hoping for. Instead it’ll be officially Android 4.4. The last three versions of Android were all named Jelly Bean, the last of which was announced just a couple of months back. For some reason, most people believed that the next major version of Android will be codenamed Key Lime Pie and it’ll be version Android 5....
