iPhone NFC by moneto We had some time to talk to a well-connected developer at Macworld who was building an app that— among other capabilities— includes NFC reading for the purpose of mobile transactions. We were obviously curious why they would do that, noting that third party NFC readers for iPhone were not popular (aside from the recently announced Moneto, above). The developer told us that he had no hardware knowledge, but he had spoken to Apple iOS engineers on multiple occasions, and they are “heavy into NFC....

A new Brutality which has recently been discovered in Mortal Kombat 11 calls back to one of Jax’s classic finishing moves from Mortal Kombat 3. First introduced in Mortal Kombat 2, Major Jackson Briggs, or Jax, has since gone on to become one of the most recognizable characters in the Mortal Kombat franchise, thanks in no small part to his iconic metal arms, which made their first appearance in Mortal Kombat 3....

Marvel fans could have met Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner much sooner had Louis Leterrier’s plans for The Incredible Hulk had gone his way, but the studio had a different idea – and in the end, it was for the best. The Marvel Cinematic Universe began in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man and Marvel Studios has since produced many more films as part of its connected universe, with many others currently in development....

With his tall figure somewhere between lanky and wide, his deep baritone voice, and his aquiline face, Adam Driver could very easily be cast as villains forever. His film career certainly got helped by playing one in the new series of Disney Star Wars movies. But playing sci-fi’s fallen angel isn’t all that Driver is good at, not when you look at the surprising breadth of his film roles in such a short amount of time....

Warning: SPOILERS for the Fantastic Four #20 Johnny Storm, otherwise known as the Human Torch, has long been one of Marvel’s hottest playboys as the hotshot of the Fantastic Four. The character has been in a number of relationships since debuting back in 1961, but none of them have really stood the test of time. However, his newest relationship with Sky might break the mold. Johnny has been with some notable Marvel heroes and villains....

While other studios play catch up with the trend, Marvel’s cinematic universe has grown into a massive, expansive money-making machine. With each new film in the MCU, more classic characters are added to the roster. Given the popularity of the franchise, we are seeing so many great actors joining in on the fun. However, even as the MCU grows, it’s getting smaller in many ways with more characters meeting up on screen....

At Disney’s recent Investor Day, among dozens of other announcements, it was confirmed that Marvel is working on a reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise, having reacquired the rights to the property in the Fox merger, and Jon Watts has been tapped to direct it. Matthew Vaughn, Brad Bird, and Jon Favreau had all been fan-favorite picks for the job, but Watts is a strong choice, too. Having helmed the MCU’s two solo Spider-Man movies, Watts could helm a big-budget comic book blockbuster in his sleep, and the tone of his Spidey movies prove he’s a good fit to bring Marvel’s first family to the screen....

Iron Man 3 may have started laying the groundwork for The Eternals all the way back in 2013. Marvel Studios has a reputation for playing the long game, and eagle-eyed fans scour through the Marvel Cinematic Universe entries in search of Easter eggs, aware that some of them foreshadow future ideas. That means it’s well worth casting our eyes back over the last two-dozen Marvel movies for hints at what’s to come in Phase 4....

As an update to its Apple Watch Design resources, the company has now provided official bezel mock-ups of the 38 mm and 42 mm watches. Although the files are meant for developers, readers interested in Apple Watch can also use the images to compare the overall physical size of the two sizes.

Beats Electronics has definitely faced its share of lawsuits after being acquired by Apple, but today yet another company has announced that it’ll be taking the electronics maker to court. Rival Monster has filed a claim against Beats that alleges the latter stole its headphone tech. The original Beats headphones were designed in conjunction with Monster, but Monster CEO Noel Lee says that Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre took what they learned from his company—and the technology that powered the headphones—then simply slapped Dre’s name on it....

Recode’s Walt Mossberg is out with an interesting piece today taking a look at Apple after Steve Jobs and revisiting Tim Cook’s promise of new product categories across 2014. While comparing Apple and its product releases to movie studios— big blockbuster hits followed by sequels that often make more money— Walt says Apple execs have told him “impressive new products” are indeed on the way. While Mossberg has had relative success with Apple’s sequel products in recent years— despite a few hiccups with Maps and iOS 7— he claims “Apple executives have assured me that the second half of 2014 will have impressive new products....
