Microsoft is attempting to galvanize its remaining troops in its attempt to create a little relevance for itself in the iPad industry, introducing a range of marketing products to help them remind any customers who care to listen that its Slate PCs could be contenders in the tablet space too. Even while the iPad 2.0 looms closer each day. In a series of PowerPoint slides made available via ZDnet, the company is encouraging partners to position slates and tablets running Windows 7 vs....

Marvel Comics has just revealed that Miles Morales is the strongest Spider-Man - when you’re looking at something more important than just muscles. Created by legendary comic book writer Brian michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli back in 2011, Miles Morales has established himself as real fan favorite. He swung on to the big screen in the award-winning Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, and since then has gone from strength to strength....

Perhaps one of television’s oddest detectives, Adrian Monk solved many crimes during Monk’s run on the USA Network. Over the course of the show’s seven seasons, audiences became quite intimate with the obsessive-compulsive mystery solver. Despite how popular Monk was, there are still several hidden details surrounding the show that most aren’t aware of. While the main characters may seem pretty surface level, there is much more to them than meets the eyes....

There are more than a few hardware camera kits and peripherals on the market that extend the capabilities of the iPhone’s built-in cam. We recently reviewed the Olloclip camera lens kit that provides three external lenses for iPhone 4S. Today we introduce you to another that has just been announced by Mophie and combos with a dedicated companion app for managing and sharing footage. According to Mophie, the goal of its new action sports “Outride” camera kit, which integrates a wide-angle lens with 170 degrees viewing angles and a waterproof, impact resistant casing, is to eliminate “the need for a dedicated device such as a GoPro or Contour camera....

Wow. So MacSpeech is no more. First MacSpeech ditched their own speech recognition engine for the market and technology leader Nuance in 2008. Then, Nuance bought the Macintosh speech recognition program earlier this year, and the ‘MacSpeech’ brand was up in the air. Now it is officially Dragon Dictate 2 for Mac. (MacSpeech Scribe still exists) Nevermind the name. The product is solid. I’ve been playing with the new Nuance Dragon Dictate 2 for Mac which uses the same best-in-class speech recognition engine as Dictate 11 for PC, and have to say this is a more than worthy upgrade....

That is the reaction of just about every non-Geek I met in recent times who read Fortune India’s “40 under 40”, which features 40 CEOs in the country who are on the right side of forty. One of them is Manu Kumar Jain, the head of Xiaomi India. That statement tells you a lot about the man. In an industry where people love the spotlight (we have seen fights break out backstage between executives as to why a certain person was taking more time on stage than another one), Jain prefers the shadows....

Marco Arment’s Overcast podcast player updated to version 3.0 this week and includes a new design with a novel monetization strategy: in-house advertising. Overcast has relied in in-app purchases and subscriptions in the past as well as Google-based advertising, but Arment is now rolling his own ads starting with the latest version. Arment’s podcast player, Overcast, has seen a major update this week to version 3.0, bringing new UI changes and a significantly updated watchOS 3 app....

Marvel Comics has just made an MCU Avengers catchphrase canon–in the most unlikely way possible way. Avengers: Age of Ultron isn’t exactly the best-received of Marvel’s main Avengers movies, with the romance between Black Widow and Bruce Banner one of the most criticized, on writer/director Joss Whedon’s part. But even if the Hulk/Widow romance was abandoned, the catchphrase it spawned is now immortal in comics, too. As fans will recall, the two Avengers were intended to connect because, in their heart of hearts, each considered themselves to be a monster unworthy of happiness....

New set photos from Marvel’s Eternals put Gemma Chan’s Sersi in modern day London. Marvel Studios confirmed this summer what Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will look like, and Eternals is one of their earliest offerings in a post-Avengers: Endgame world. The movie, directed by Chloé Zhao, is based on the Marvel characters of the same name, a group of superhumans created by the Celestials. With their lesser-known nature, Marvel Studios assembled an all-star cast to bring Eternals to the big screen....

Avengers: Endgame will be the culmination of the past 11 years of films, and will most certainly end the Avengers as we know them today. Many are wondering what will happen in the next phase of films, and which heroes may be a part of the new Avengers universe. Marvel Comics may have the answer. The addition of Captain Marvel and confirmation that James Gunn’s Guardians 3 will be made confirms the future of the MCU will be galactic....

[Contains SPOILERS for Invincible Iron Man #4.] Since Riri Williams first hoisted the Iron Man (or Ironheart) mantle from a grievously injured Tony Stark, it’s meant huge changes for the young woman. A tragedy-tinged childhood hasn’t made life easy, but after losing her best friend and stepfather to random violence, focusing on something positive seems to have helped her deal with her demons. Plus, putting her incredible brain to use and completing her own set of mobile armor gave her a confidence boost....

Marvel’s X-Men reboot has just quietly erased millions of mutants from existence. And we’re not referring to the X-Men heroes who just died ahead of the relaunch. The history of mutant-human relations is a troubled one, as typified by the creation of the Sentinels, gigantic robots created to hunt and kill mutants. Throughout history, countless others have attempted to slaughter mutants, ranging from religious figures like Reverend Stryker to political leaders such as Graydon Creed....

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Natasha Romanoff’s romantic history has been a bit complicated and strange. The only person that she’s been in a real relationship with was Bruce Banner, but most fans and critics found this relationship forced and out of place. In general, this relationship is not one that many people supported, and this is likely why the franchise tried to awkwardly write away their relationship in later films....

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfpULoEZIHk] Oh dear. Just when we thought Microsoft might have gotten over its misleading Surface tablet ads attacking the iPad (and iPad mini), it has run three new ones, each attacking the MacBook Air (the other two are shown below the fold). Microsoft’s decision to go on the offensive is perhaps understandable: while Apple can run a MacBook Air ad simply observing that it’s “the notebook people love,” poor sales of the Surface despite high marketing costs have so far resulted in Microsoft losing $1....

Since opening the tool for developers to migrate from MobileMe to iCloud, Apple has revealed to MobileMe users that they will retain their MobileMe storage when their account becomes an iCloud account. Standard $100 MobileMe accounts included 20GB of storage and free iCloud accounts include 5GB of storage, furthermore iCloud users who came over from MobileMe will begin their iCloud journey with 25GB of cloud storage space. These 25 GB are for email storage, calendar storage, and documents – and, thankfully, media like music, video, and Photo Steam photos do not count against your 25 GB....

Personally, I’m a paperless kind of guy, but if you prefer the old-fashioned look & feel of paper schedules, then Moleskine’s new Smart Planner aims to bring you the best of both worlds … As Engadget notes, the planner combines a Livescribe pen with sensors embedded in the paper to read your handwriting. Provided that a schedule entry includes a time and a description, the Smart Planner will detect the date and sync the appointment to Google Calendar, from where it can sync with both iCloud and Outlook....

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could pull a widget during your favorite TV show to read the latest show-related news or cast and crew information, watch special features, access social networking components and interact in other relevant ways with your TV content? The latest patent application from Apple seeks to tackle this burning issue and is noteworthy for making a specific connection to a big screen TV, which is interesting in the light of a DailyTech story calling for an iOS-powered, Apple-branded television set this Fall....
