A Boba Fett cameo could do The Mandalorian more harm than good, as the Disney+ series heads into its second season. Before The Mandalorian premiered, discussion of the show revolved almost entirely around Boba Fett, the most famous bounty hunter in Star Wars canon. The entire concept for The Mandalorian was borne from Disney’s aborted attempt to produce a Boba Fett solo movie and the studio then had to repeatedly hammer home the message that Boba Fett was NOT The Mandalorian’s main character, despite even Pedro Pascal originally believing it was....

He points to a report from the TG Daily website, which claimed the software to be expected to ship “on October 1”, condemning these claims as fantasy, speculation, “just something made up”. Nack’s clearly furious with everybody who picked-up on the report, but does concede that the Photoshop technology demo described did take place. “I didn’t say anything about schedule. In fact, I never said that any of this stuff is promised to go into any particular version of Photoshop....

Noticeably missing from last week’s Apple event was AirPower, which was originally announced during the September 2017 event. AirPower is a charging mat capable of charging up to three devices simultaneously, but recent reports have suggested Apple has hit a series of engineering issues with the accessory. Now, the iPhone XS packaging, as well as iOS 12.1, suggest that AirPower isn’t dead just yet. AirPower isn’t a simple combination of three different Qi chargers, but rather an extension of the Qi standard that allows you to place the devices on any area of the mat....

A Redditor has noticed a familiar theme emerging in the movie posters for a few recent Disney movies - 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens and forthcoming releases Aladdin and Dark Phoenix. The Aladdin poster in question was released back in March alongside the Disney remake’s full trailer while the Dark Phoenix poster debuted just a couple of days ago ahead of the movie’s much-anticipated June 7 release. Disney has always been a big producer of pop culture properties, but with their acquisitions of Lucasfilm, Marvel, and most recently Fox, the House of Mouse controls so much more....

The Alien concept art designed by artist H.R. Giger helped transform the project from a b-movie into a genre classic. Given the lifecycle of the xenomorph itself, its somewhat fitting Alien also had a difficult birth. The idea was first conceived by writer Dan O’Bannon, who collaborated with director John Carpenter (Halloween) on a low-budget sci-fi comedy called Dark Star in 1974. The movie followed the aimless misadventures of a crew of astronauts, with one sequence finding Pinback - also played by O’Bannon - chasing a small alien creature through the ship’s vents....

Following the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency announcing it would end its contract with RIM and purchase $2.1 million worth of iPhones, Bloomberg reported today that the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board will also make the switch. The agency said in a notice posted to its website that BlackBerrys have been “failing both at inopportune times and at an unacceptable rate” while announcing plans to purchase iPhone 5’s as replacements:...

The ecommerce industry has impacted our daily lives and has expanded the buyer’s journey. The path to purchase no longer necessarily follows a linear, clear-cut path. Instead, the buyer’s journey has become a cycle or a web, where consumers move toward or back from certain points. Throughout the entire journey, their decisions—and consequently, the actions they make— are influenced by a variety of offline and online factors. Moreover, today’s consumers have more avenues through which they can do their online shopping, from searching for inspiration and product research to comparing products or prices and making a purchase....

A Monster Calls is a beautiful and inspirational depiction of a young person’s battle with grief - but that doesn’t mean it’s for every young person. When single mother Lizzie O’Malley (Felicity Jones) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, her young son, Conor O’Malley (Lewis MacDougall) is left reeling by the news - desperate to save his mother and horrified at the prospect of losing her. During the day, Conor becomes increasingly isolated from his peers, thanks to “normal” kid problems (school bullies), then spends his evenings comforting and helping his ailing mother - with limited support from his grieving grandmother (Sigourney Weaver) and his absentee father (Toby Kebbell)....

But thanks to the events of 2020, the landscape of #agencylife is changing. For starters, the pandemic forced agencies to embrace remote work. Nationwide protests for racial justice have inspired some agencies to invest in diversity and inclusion programs for the first time. Shrinking revenue and rampant furloughs are teaching agencies to learn to do more with less. While some shops recognize these changes are only temporary, others are weighing the idea of making permanent these new ways of doing business....

The second episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 6, “Window of Opportunity,” continued to unravel the mysterious of Not-Coulson and his team - but still left a lot of questions unanswered. The season 6 premiere introduced a dangerous figure named “Sarge,” who - to the horror of Agent May - looked absolutely identical to Phil Coulson. Sarge showed no concern over loss of life, shooting down a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who was in his way....

As the new year begins in Pacific Time, where Apple’s Cupertino headquarters are based, the AirPower charging mat has officially missed its 2018 release window. The charging mat promised to charge iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods on a single compact mat with flexibility on where devices can be placed. However, the product has been rumored to have faced internal development challenges as late as this past summer, which prevented Apple from bringing the product to market as smoothly as it expected....

Director Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant is arriving five years after the release of Prometheus, Scott’s quasi-prequel to his touchstone 1979 sci-fi/horror classic, Alien. The esteemed filmmaker has continued to remain prolific in terms of his directing output even with his 80th birthday on the horizon, having on average released about one new film every year for most of the past decade. Now that Scott is doubling-down his efforts on expanding the Alien franchise, it sounds as though audiences won’t have to wait another five years between installments....

As logs never lie, it’s very important to aggregate and analyze the internal and external network logs constantly so that companies can prevent breach or perform incident response in a timely manner. For that security reason, companies use SIEM(Security Information and Event Management) as a solution and it’s deployed within an organization to address threat management, incident response, and compliance. SIEM technology is typically funded mostly because of regulatory compliance reporting requirements....
