Disney is developing a live-action movie reboot of the Inspector Gadget franchise. The original animated series Inspector Gadget premiered in 1983 and introduced the world to the titular character. A bumbling cyborg detective with countless high-tech gadgets embedded in his body, Gadget spent his days battling the sinister Dr. Claw and his organization M.A.D., oblivious that his niece Penny and her dog Brain were truly responsible for stopping Claw’s evil plans....

After Scott Derrickson left his role as director of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, what does the future hold for Marvel’s Phase 4? Since its inception in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown to become a movie success story of previously unfathomable proportions, culminating in Avengers: Endgame becoming the highest-grossing film of all time. Part of the franchise’s enduring popularity rests in its ability to take characters previously known only to comic book fans and make them instantly recognizable to a mainstream audience, and Dr....

The long-running sci-fi TV show Doctor Who is an optimistic adventure serial, starring the titular Doctor as he saves all of space and time from all kinds of monsters and plots. He faces the Daleks, the Master, space vampires and demons, and just about anything in between. The Doctor has many faces, and for older fans, the Fourth Doctor is the iconic look for this character. Played by Tom Baker, he was the franchise’s centerpiece from 1974 to 1981, and his companions included Romana, Leela, and the robotic dog K-9....

Doctor Who season 12 has a startling number of Cyberman plot holes. The final three episodes of Doctor Who season 12 are - at least in part - the story of the Doctor’s most spectacular conflict with the Cybermen to date. It all began in “The Haunting of Villa Diodati,” which introduced the Lone Cyberman, the last survivor of the final Cyber War. One quick TARDIS trip later, and the Doctor and her fam had traveled to a distant future timeline in which both humans and Cybermen had been brought to the brink of extinction....

The times they really are a-changing, with the second report in a week suggesting Apple’s moving to dominate the PC industry, (as I noted right here last week). The latter report points out that if you include iPad sales, Apple is now the number three player in the portable market. That’s right, if you count tablets as notebook PCs, Apple just passed Asus, Lenovo, Toshiba and Dell, observes Philip Elmer-DeWitt, citing Deutsche Bank analyst, Chris Whitmore....

In a pair of Digitimes reports, Apple is said to be removing 3D Touch from all iPhone 11 models and introducing a new OLED display manufacturer into its supply chain. Digitimes reports are always a bit hit-and-miss, so take these reports with some skepticism. However, each story makes sense, and in many ways back up morsels of information that were already circulating. The death of 3D Touch has been long in the making....

Doctor Who has revealed that the “Timeless Child” is the dark secret at the heart of Gallifrey’s history. The Time Lords have always been a secretive and manipulative race; they tend to rewrite their own records in order to make themselves out to be the universe’s heroes. This has been a frequent source of conflict between the Doctor and her own people. Doctor Who season 11 introduced the concept of the Timeless Child....

The episode titles for Doctor Who season 10 debut, as the series’ showrunner teases the return of Matt Lucas as Nardole. One of the best characters to emerge from Doctor Who in recent years has been Nardole, so it’s a joy to know he’s back on a more permanent basis. Played by British comedian and actor Lucas, Nardole made his debut in ‘The Husbands of River Song,’ in December 2015, and instantly became a hit with viewers....

WARNING: Spoilers for Doctor Who episode “Fugitive of the Judoon” - The past 50-odd years of Doctor Who have tracked roughly thousands of years (or a few billion, technically) of the time and space-traveling Doctor. Every iteration of the Doctor has mentioned their age in passing at some point or another, and as casual as this information might have been, it ultimately provided more questions than answers. When the Doctor stole a TARDIS from Gallifrey and took off to explore time and space with his granddaughter, he was around 200 years old....

Disney’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is the sequel to the studio’s live-action retelling of Sleeping Beauty, but does it have an after-credits scene? The Mouse House has found success in the last decade by adapting their animated classics to live-action, sometimes with a completely new spin on the story, as was the case with Maleficent. Instead of Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) being the villain in Aurora’s (Elle Fanning) story, she became the protagonist and mother figure to the young princess....

Figures released today by Gartner show that the iPad remained the best-selling tablet of 2013, selling more than the combined sales of the four runners-up. Apple’s tablets remain strong in the higher end of the market and, Apple’s approach will continue to force vendors to compete with full ecosystem offerings, even in the smaller-screen market as the iPad mini sees a greater share … Gartner’s headline – and doubtless that of many reports to follow later today – focused on market share....

Pandora has been reevaluating its strategy as it faces increased competition from streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music, launching its own streaming service earlier this year. Now, a report from Bloomberg claims that as the company continues to invest in streaming, it is looking to offload its Ticketfly business… Pandora acquired Ticketfly two years ago for $335 million with the goal of increasing ticket sales thanks to the listener data it collects from users....

Dialog Semiconductor saw its shares plunge last year after it warned that its time as an Apple supplier might be coming to an end … It said then that its contract to supply power management chips to Apple could be at risk following a report that Apple was developing its own chip designs. The company’s CEO Jalal Bagherli said at the time that Dialog’s 2018 contracts were safe, and it was already working on 2019 products, implying that it could be left out in the cold from 2020....

A reader tipped us that Apple may have cut older versions of iTunes that are compatible with G3 Macs out of the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store used to work fine on iTunes 8.2.1, our tipster writes, but as of recently the store would refuse to open. Even though the jukebox software continues to operate normally on these machines, clicking the iTunes Store in the lefthand column puts up a warning to upgrade to iTunes 10, as seen in the above image....

WARNING: Spoilers for Game of Thrones season 8, episode 4. Game of Thrones season 8 has been disproving popular theories left and right, but its most recent episode, “The Last of the Starks” might have just confirmed one of the weirdest bits of speculation around. Totally bonkers fan theories are very popular in the Game of Thrones fandom and there is no theory crazier than Varys secretly being a merman....

Die vollständige Liste der YouTube-Anzeigengrößen und -Spezifikationen: Warum YouTube für Unternehmen wichtig ist Bevor YouTube zu dem Video-on-Demand-Mammut wurde, das es heute ist, hatte es mit der Online-Dating-Website zu kämpfen. Video stand immer im Mittelpunkt des Geschäftsmodells, und zu diesem Zeitpunkt glaubten seine Gründer, dass es beeindruckend werden würde.

According to a company statement, Discord will be discontinuing service for its Universal Game Launcher and Game Library systems. Discord, which first released to the public in 2015, is one of the most popular services used by video game streamers currently available, and reportedly has over 250 million different users. A few years after its reveal, the company also launched their own Discord game distribution store with a 90/10 revenue split for game developers, something which allowed creators a chance at far higher profits per title sold than competing PC game distribution services like Steam....

You’ve likely heard the news by now; one of the new TV series that’ll be hitting the Disney+ streaming service in the future will feature the one and only: Ms. Marvel. Well, perhaps saying she’s the one and only is slightly inaccurate. More on that in a moment. Here are 10 things you need to know about the young hero known to her friends and family as Kamala Khan… although her fans (and enemies) will know her as Ms....

Disney reportedly asked Sony for 25% of the profits on any future Spider-Man movie Marvel Studios worked on, not the 50/50 split as initially stated. Sony and Marvel Studios entered into a partnership to share Spider-Man in 2015. The original deal was simple, Sony paid for any Spider-Man solo film and received the profits. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios was given creative input on these films and allowed to use Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time....

This raid still has newer players attempting to beat it to get a crack at the famous Eagle Bearer. If you’re new or even a hardened vet, we’ll make sure there’s something useful for anyone trying to get the raid completed....
