When Marvel Studios first announced their slate back in 2014, Avengers: Infinity War wasn’t followed by Ant-Man & the Wasp; the next movie was actually Marvel’s Inhumans. How would Marvel’s plans have differed if Inhumans stayed on the slate? The reality is that Infinity War would probably have played out slightly differently. Infinity War’s screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely took both Ant-Man & the Wasp and Captain Marvel into account when writing the script....

Though Pixar arguably remains the dominant Hollywood studio in the realm of animation, their friends at Disney Animation Studios have slowly but surely emerged as a leading contender for that title. In recent years, the Mouse House’s animation branch has released several well-received hits such as Big Hero 6, Wreck-it Ralph, and of course, Frozen. This spring, their hot streak continued with the acclaimed Zootopia (which grossed $1 billion worldwide), and they have Moana coming in November....

For too long, people focused on vanity metrics – thinking that big numbers made you look better on Instagram (and other social networks). This led to the emergence of fake followers and a marketplace to buy these bogus followers. But as we have previously explained, purchasing fake followers can be extremely bad for your credibility. Indeed, merely having a sizeable number of followers doesn’t mean that you run a good Instagram account....

Intel claims its latest entrant to be the ‘World’s Best Processor’ and suggests the same to be the ‘best processor for thin-&-light laptops’. The 11th-gen Tiger Lake lineup is built on a refined 10nm (SuperFin) node and features upgrades to its core architecture.

Intel’s decision follows the same line taken last week and that has led extinction of 12 million jobs. The tech giant Intel wants to return to successful and profitable business, therefore, they have to restructure and become contentious. To this ends with part of the Atom line, particularly Broxton and Sofia platforms it already delayed, both framed in Atom X3 family and specifically designed for smartphones and tablets. As the tech giant Intel stated that “Intel is accelerating its transformation from a PC company to one that powers the cloud and billions of smart, connected computing devices....

Underneath (not shown) is another grille, part of the ‘reflex’ system for air movement and part of the secret for really good bass in a speaker system. Four short legs and rubber feet protect the surface the speaker is on and also allow free movement for sound/air. As with imaging, when it comes to audio physics usually wins. Have enough mass and enough space inside, and a portable speaker can still produce some impressive bass....

When Marvel brought Nerd Christmas early in the summer of 2008 by teasing the rise of the Avengers in the tag at the end of Iron Man, even they didn’t fully envision the shared universe they were on the brink of creating. A few years later, The Avengers finally saw a number of their films and heroes join forces for an unprecedented blockbuster that finally proved Marvel and superhero movies were here to stay....

Instagram introduced a new gallery feature for posting multiple photos and videos in a carousel album format back in February, but the feature has had a classic Instagram limitation since it launched. Photos and videos shared in groups have had to be cropped into squares to fit the carousel, but Instagram is lifting that requirement starting today.

According to TechCrunch, Instagram is testing a feature that would allow users to share another user’s post directly to their own Instagram Story… The feature is currently being tested with a small percentage of users and Instagram has confirmed that it is testing the feature....

In fact, I’ve had a RememberTheMilk Pro account for about a year now. Originally, the reason I upgraded from RTM Free to RTM Pro was that the latter gave you access to the iPhone app (the RTM iPhone app is now available for RTM free accounts). But even then, I found the iPhone app somewhat heavy as a collection tool. There were just too many button presses, say, if I wanted to quickly jot down a book name or grocery list item in the middle of conversation without spending too much time fiddling with my phone....

The Cupertino giant Apple responded and said that users must upgrade their respective devices to iOS 10 with iTunes and not via WiFi.

Interestingly there is also a large group of users who claim that the upgrade process via iTunes program also presents problems, but do not cause any severe bricking to iPhone....

Our fascination with celebrity love stems from our obsession with romance, whether it be fictional or real. In the 1950s, it was Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier, and of course, Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe. In the 1960s, it was the American president and his first lady, JFK and Jackie O. People followed the president’s rumoured affairs like a soap-opera and despaired at Jackie’s supposed heartache as though she were a friend....

As Captain American: Civil War takes the U.S. by storm on Friday, Marvel’s Phase 3 will begin in earnest in North America. An exemplar to other shared-universe builders, their first two Phases marked a different approach to cinema which launched what has been titled the Golden Age of superhero cinema. However, Marvel hasn’t been without its criticisms thus far. And if there’s anything the MCU has been faulted for, it’s the lack of compelling villains....
