Marvel’s X-Men relaunch has finally confirmed that Charles Xavier killing his X-Men dream is no accident. The formerly peaceful leader of the X-Men (and all of mutantkind) has been corrupted… making him a different character than the one fans used to know.

Charles Xavier has established the mutant nation of Krakoa, and something seems to be terribly wrong....

Marriage might be fodder for truly poor comedy (saying the husband is “whipped” or isn’t allowed to have a life anymore) but when this subject is treated well, it can be both moving and hilarious. That’s the case with the ’90s sitcom Mad About You. Running for seven seasons from 1992 until 1999, the TV series is finally all available on DVD after some of the later seasons saw some delays....

You may have already been moved by the splendid beauty of its resemblance to MacOS. And its really quite lovely new blooming wallpaper. You may have even been lucky enough to learn some of the philosophical underpinnings of the Windows 11 design, as offered by the creative brains behind the rational scene. (Sample: “We looked at the Microsoft logo and turned it blue.”) But, as with most huge brands, Microsoft just had to make one final, winning appeal to make you understand why Windows 11 is the next coming of, some might snort, Windows 10....

Emilio Estevez is rumored to be returning to play Coach Gordon Bombay in the Disney+ reboot series, Mighty Ducks.

The Mission: Impossible 7 working title has now been revealed, as the highly anticipated production gets set to begin. It’s only been two years since Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible Fallout arrived, but the demand for more continues. Dubbed by some as the greatest action film of all time, Mission: Impossible Fallout was indeed spectacular.

There are early signs that Apple’s market share of the U.S. smartphone market may increase as we move through the ‘Late Majority’ phase and into ‘Laggards’, suggests Asymco’s Horace Dediu. For those who weren’t paying attention in economics classes in school, new products tend to experience an S-curve pattern to their growth. In the tech sector, Innovators are pretty much synonymous with techies. If those percentages appear rather random, it’s because they are derived from the shape of the curve – the typical points at which it gets steeper or shallower....

Two years after the conclusion of Marvel’s Secret Empire storyline, Captain America is still haunted by the events of the Secret Empire storyline.

Unfortunately for the duo, previews for the upcoming Falcon and Winter Soldier #3 suggest that the next leader of Hydra will be a fake Captain America, and could be the very same fascist version of Rogers that they previously defeated....
