Marvel’s newest superteam has arrived. The Union roster has officially been unveiled by Marvel, as the United Kingdom-based heroes will team up together spinning out of the events of Empyre. But just who are these heroes? The Union will feature both familiar and new characters on the roster. The most familiar face is the British hero Union Jack (Joseph Chapman) who first debuted back in The Invaders #7 and has since appeared across many different titles....

Prison is a tough place. Especially for someone trapped in there for years at a time surrounded by people who may or may not have done some pretty terrible things. Whether it’s the extroverted prison leader, controlling the pack from the comfort of the kitchen they’ve worked hard to raise out of squalor, or the introverted newbie just trying to get their bearings and make it out alive. It takes all types of personalities to survive a dehumanizing experience like the prison-industrial complex....

When Apple revived MagSafe with the iPhone 12 lineup, one question brought up was how these latest devices with more magnets would interact with medical devices like pacemakers. Apple’s official word was that iPhone 12/MagSafe wouldn’t interfere more than previous iPhones. Now one of the first medical studies has been published that shows a pacemaker being deactivated by the iPhone 12. Apple has never said that iPhones or the iPhone 12 lineup doesn’t present a risk of interfering with medical devices like pacemakers (implantable cardioverter defibrillators or ICDs)....

In 2019, we were taken through the emotional journey of a marriage coming to an end in the amazing film Marriage Story. Starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver, the Netflix movie ended up receiving six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. It was also included in the ‘Top Ten Movies Of The Year’ lists by many critics as well as the American Film Institute. To some, Marriage Story might have triggered a yearning for other movies that tackle the same subject matter....

Marvel’s trilogies are a lot more closely connected than most people think. Hollywood has long been attracted to the idea of a film trilogy, influenced by popular trilogies such as Back to the Future and Star Wars. It became something of a template, an easy format to follow with potential franchises that worked in terms of marketing and allowed talent to be signed up contractually for a set number of films....

In the early days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor was surprisingly boring. Chris Hemsworth has always given his all in the role, but his underutilization in the generic cookie-cutter story of Thor: The Dark World and the bathtime subplot of Avengers: Age of Ultron made him far less interesting than his cohorts Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. Lord only knows how the Marvel team managed to make an interdimensional Norse god with a magical hammer uninteresting, but they did....

When Married…With Children debuted in 1987, there was nothing like it on TV. Roseanne hadn’t debuted her blue-collar brand of comedy yet and shows like All In The Family and Sanford And Son were only in reruns. Those reruns were a rarity too unless you had cable. A lot of people didn’t even have Fox, the network that launched the Bundys into existence. If you had Fox, the show was an instant hit, but it took a while for the show to catch on....

The main antagonists of Marvel’s The Avengers may have been revealed, and its someone fans likely did not see coming. A list of achievements for Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics’ upcoming Marvel-based team action title was leaked a couple of days ago, providing a few hints on the game’s main story – including the villains the Avengers will be going up against. So far, the identity of the ones wreaking havoc in Marvel’s The Avengers has been kept largely under wraps, with the only real clues being that the terrorist group A....

Marvel Comics’ X-Men relaunch could well have shown how to integrate mutants into the MCU. This year, Disney finally completed their proposed purchase of Fox, and as a result it’s only a matter of time before mutants make their debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has already suggested the studio has figured out how to make this dream a reality, and needless to say audiences are thrilled at the possibilities....

(A screenshot from a McDonald’s ad.) It’s always about the money. When one of your favorite brands begins to encourage you to use its app, there’s really only one reason – to get you to buy its wares more often. That’s where the pandemic suited fast-food brands perfectly. People were stuck at home. They could use apps to get pick-up or delivery. For the likes of McDonald’s and Chick-fil-A, business did rather well....

The MCU has helped create some of the most beloved cinematic characters of all time. While Iron Man and Captain America have been icons for years, these movies have introduced them to new fans and their popularity has grown exponentially. But, as the much larger and relatively inconsistent Phase Four has shown, not every MCU project is beloved by all, and not all of the characters are as well-liked as the main heroes....

As rumors of Apple’s plans to create AR and VR products intensify, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg joins The Information 411 podcast this week to talk about Facebook’s own interest in AR and VR. Zuckerberg made it through the interview without mentioning Apple by name — but the icy relationship between the two companies was clear in multiple comments from the Facebook CEO. The Information’s Alex Heath asked Zuckerberg about Facebook’s focus on reducing its reliance on Apple and Google by building its VR and AR products from the “ground up....

Cloak & Dagger is officially a go at Freeform, with the Marvel TV series having received a 10-episode season 1 order. Over the next few years, Marvel will be bringing a number of new properties to TV, across multiple networks. Over the next six months or so, we’ll be seeing The Defenders on Netflix and Inhumans on ABC (after a brief stint in IMAX theaters). We’re also scheduled to get The Punisher on Netflix later this year....

If you are familiar with Nmap, the learning curve for Masscan would not be a challenge. Though Masscan produces like Nmap, it operates more like Zmap, Unicornscan, using asynchronous transmission. Apart from being faster than other scanners, it is more flexible, allowing arbitrary address ranges and port ranges, a feature, still lacked by many. Masscan’s repository can be found at https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/masscan. It is available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS....

The battle between intelligent voice assistants is moving into hotel rooms, as Marriott International is testing both Siri and Alexa to decide which will control devices in at least some of its hotel rooms. Bloomberg reports that the chain is putting the two platforms in a head-to-head test in its one of its Aloft-branded properties … The company said it has already identified that Siri and Alexa were the only two intelligent voice services worth trialling....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is heavily setting up MI-13, a fictional British spy agency frequently associated with Captain Britain. Marvel recently announced their Phase 4 plans, but there’s one notable gap; last year, Disney CEO Bob Iger teased that Marvel will “try our hand at what I’ll call a new franchise beyond Avengers.” Back in 2014, Marvel Studios announced their entire Phase 3 slate - five years’ worth of films - at one event....

After months of build-up, the full story trailer for Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite has arrived. Back in December, fans of the hit series got a welcome surprise when a trailer dropped for the upcoming installment. In it, Iron Man and Mega Man faced off against one another in an armored assault that many fans would love to see play out on cinema screens someday. The trailer also highlighted Captain Marvel, jumping to the big leagues ahead of her film debut, going toe-to-toe with Ryu from the Street Fighter series....
