Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian creators considered using CGI Baby Yoda if the practical effects puppet didn’t work, but Werner Herzog put a stop to it. The first ever live-action Star Wars TV show released on Disney+ when it launched Nov. 12. Prior to its premiere, there were reports that The Mandalorian included a major Star Wars spoiler that would have an impact on the larger universe. That spoiler turned out to be the as-yet-unnamed character dubbed the Child, more popularly known as Baby Yoda since the character is a young version of Yoda’s species, a name for which is also as-yet-unknown....

Warning: SPOILERS for Marvel Comics #1000 The line between Spider-Man’s famous ‘Spider-Sense’ and more fantastic, magical, or psychic powers has never been totally clear, but the newest Spidey story has taken things to a new level. Spider-Man’s extra sense now gives him a power straight out of the Star Wars universe. But has Marvel ever confirmed Peter Parker… isn’t a Jedi? The idea of Peter’s ’tingling’ Spider-Sense has most recently been made something of a joke, thanks to its application and renaming in Spider-Man: Far From Home....

The Avengers may be Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, but their next comic adventure is sending them across Marvel’s Universe… into a galaxy of criminals and psychopaths. All things considered, the heroes would probably prefer to travel light-years across the universe to take on thousands of crazed killers, after The War of The Realms brought an army of them directly to Earth. But the Avengers aren’t just spanning space for a battle, they’re responding to the birth of a brand new Marvel superhero in the last place they should have been found....

When you think about Brad Pitt, what comes to your mind? He is definitely one of the hottest and most handsome men in Hollywood (and has been one for decades), but that doesn’t mean you should forget about his acting talent when he has such good looks. Brad Pitt has many interesting roles, so sorting his characters by their MBTI is definitely one of the most entertaining tasks (even though some of them have the same personality types)....

Mexican drug trafficking organizations are increasingly demonstrating a desire to make money from cyber-crime, attracted by the high profits and minimal risks, offered by such activities as fraud, theft, and piracy. These gangs lack the needed technical know-how within their ranks, which means they would be desperate to recruit programmers with the expertise to break into the world of cyber-crime. Recent claims that computer programmers are being forcibly recruited by Mexican drug gangs, if true, suggest that these groups are acquiring the ability to reap the potential profits of cyber-crime....

…what Port25 is to Open Source. Is it me, or is ‘Azure’ the worst name you possibly could think of for a Cloud Computing initiative? The word Azure reminds people of a cloudless sky, a clear day.

Then there’s pretending to focus when you’re half asleep, nodding on a Zoom call when you have no idea what’s being said, and knowing who to go to when you want to scream and be understood. There’s also another useful skill. Damage control. You often know when you’ve said or done something silly, ignorant, or plain offensive. But you believe you have time to fix it before it spirals beyond your pay grade and into an ether whose gases you don’t breathe....
