Executive background Wu came to FTX from Lightspeed, a major investor in FTX, where she served as a partner and the company’s top VC focused on gaming. She described herself during our talk as a lifelong gamer, and someone that continues to be passionate about gaming. While her personal passion for the media category certainly played an important part in Lightspeed’s, and subsequently FTX’s, respective initiatives, she and FTX’s senior leadership agreed that gaming was simply too big and too attractive of a venue for FTX’s technologies to be ignored, even if there were certain risks involved....

GBH Insights analyst Daniel Ives has predicted that the new iPhone models expected to be launched this year could kick-start a new sales boom of up to 350M units over the next 12-18 months. There is, he says, ‘a massive iPhone upgrade opportunity’ in the making … The prediction was made in an investment note seen by Business Insider. His argument is that many existing iPhone owners decided against upgrading last year because the iPhone 8/Plus was too similar to earlier models, and the iPhone X was too expensive for many....

If you don’t setup Apple Pay when you first configure a new iPhone, and don’t select the ‘Setup later in Wallet’ option, it nags you with a badge on your Settings app (shown above). Analysts and user-interface experts are criticizing this, one going to far as to describe it as ‘antitrust behavior’ … The piece notes that Apple applies a badge to the Settings app, normally an indication that something requires your attention....

Aaron Taylor-Johnson made the leap from actor to screenwriter with A Million Little Pieces, the adaptation of James Frey’s notorious novel that’s out in theaters this past weekend. Taylor-Johnson co-wrote the screenplay with his wife, Sam Taylor-Johnson, and he also stars in it. The actor sat down with Screen Rant to explain why the story was such a passion project and how it all came together. This is the first film where you’re credited as a writer....

It’s not hard to see why these shows are so popular, either. They take some of the best bits of comic books (fascinating super-powers, massive battles, occasional romance), but sidestep the cartoonish separation of good and bad. Instead of being pure heroes and villains, the characters that Ennis has created are complex and deeply flawed; murderers and criminals may be the good guys, while ‘heroes’ are twisted and corrupt. Of course, no one in these shows is truly ‘good’, but that’s the point....

The iPhone 6 concepts of course started appearing even before the iPhone 5s was launched, but now that the new handsets are old news, the concept bandwagon is gathering speed. Apple is known to be testing a variety of handset sizes, but has always said a phone should be usable with one hand, which rules out any of the more tablet-like sizes out there. An obvious way to increase the screen size without greatly increasing the external dimensions of the phone is work on reducing the size of the bezel....

It seems like with most Windows 7 ready programs, during installation they are automatically granted access through the Windows Firewall. Most of the time this is fine. However, I’ve run into situations where some programs later might have issues accessing the Internet. An excellent example of this is Remote Desktop, which by default is not allowed through Windows Firewall. Additionally, manually being able to allow/block a program through the Windows Firewall is a great trick for troubleshooting networking problems....

Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb is reportedly helming Paramount and Bad Robot’s live-action remake of the Japanese anime Your Name. Released in 2016, the original movie became a huge worldwide hit with $357 million in ticket sales, with only $5 million of that coming during its limited American release. Directed by Makoto Shinkai, Your Name tells the story of a high school girl living in rural Japan and a high school boy residing in the metropolis of Tokyo who somehow begin to intermittently swap bodies....

The big-screen adaptation of Vince Flynn’s American Assassin is set to hit theaters this fall, and fans are being treated to some sneak peeks from the upcoming film this spring. The movie is an adaptation of Flynn’s ongoing series about an undercover CIA operative fighting terrorism. It’s highly likely that American Assassin, if successful, could launch a franchise, especially with 15 books worth of material to draw from. Last month, new footage was previewed at CinemaCon, revealing some of the action-packed scenes that will be seen in the movie, including Dylan O’Brien’s Mitch Rapp duking it out in a challenge fromMichael Keaton’s Stan Hurley....
