Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Morbius film is reportedly going to exist in the same reality as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Starring Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius, the movie is directed by Daniel Espinosa, who previously helmed Ryan Reynolds/Jake Gyllenhaal’s Life. It’s the studio’s second Spider-Man villain-centric film following the 2018 surprise hit, Venom with Tom Hardy. Plot details for the film are still scant at the moment, but as it’s supposedly an origin story for the character, fans have turned to its print source for some information....

The decision to incorporate Sony’s Morbius into the Marvel Cinematic Universe solves the problem of how Marvel Studios will set up its Blade movie. Though in different ways, Blade and Morbius are both centered around the same subject material: vampires. Morbius makes it easier for Marvel to introduce vampires to the MCU. The release of the highly anticipated first trailer for Sony’s Morbius movie showed Jared Leto’s titular vampire in action and provided a very brief glimpse at his complete transformation into the comic book character....

A few weeks back, details regarding Intel’s upcoming Skylake processors were revealed with promises including improved low power performance, improved battery life, and faster integrated graphics. At the time, the information was somewhat vague, only detailing the year-over-year advancements and performance improvements from Broadwell to Skylake chips. Today, however, FanlessTech has given us a more detailed look at the specifications of the Skylake U-Series of processors. The first thing to note is that Intel has streamlined Skylake-U over Broadwell-U....

Mortal Kombat 11 is the best fighting game in years and one of the best entries in the franchise, featuring stunning combat and a fun story. Coming just over four years after its highly regarded predecessor Mortal Kombat X, Mortal Kombat 11 does something that perhaps many didn’t think was a possibility: it gives fans one of the best fighting games in years. It doesn’t accomplish this by doing anything major to reinvent the series but by taking everything that has worked before and amplifying it to new levels....

Truth is often stranger than fiction. If it’s not, fiction takes the truth and piles on some extra strange. Fantasy stories might seem far removed from reality, but they are often rooted in our milquetoast world. For instance, dragon mythology may have been the result of ancient humans misinterpreting dinosaur fossils or whale bones. Numerous magical artifacts throughout pop-culture have real life counterparts as well. There’s a treasure trove of wondrous doodads in Netflix’s new show The Order, so let’s do some investigating and see what may have inspired those cinematic RPG items....

After years in development, Mark Millar’s Chrononauts has finally found a screenwriter in the form of Philip Gawthorne. Millar has become something of a master when it comes to getting his young comic book series made into films. Following years of working with Marvel, Millar set off on his own to create with various indie publishers. His work, often brutal and bloody, has more often than not been turned into films shortly after being created and hitting it big with fans....

There are many different types of friendships on Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, some good and some not so good. There are best friends, work friends, friends that don’t seem like they should be friends, and just bad friends. While everyone mostly focuses on Midge and Susie’s friendship, there are other friendships to take note of. All of the characters on the series have had their ups and downs with their best pals....

Pinterest’s greatest strength is that it was the first visual network – it has been popular for much longer than Instagram. People pin and share pictures that interest them, adding them to appropriate boards. This makes Pinterest a relevant network for brands to consider when planning their influencer marketing. It is a predominantly female network. 45 percent of online woman use Pinterest, compared to 17 percent of online men. The ten most popular niches on Pinterest are:...

In January, the Biden Administration released its new cybersecurity strategy following President Biden’s May 2021 executive order (EO 14028), signed in the wake of the SolarWinds software supply chain attack and ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure like Colonial Pipeline. Core to that strategy are ‘zero trust’ architectures, for which US tech and cybersecurity vendors were canvassed for suggestions by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), specifically about how to protect software supply chains from attack....

Powerful quantum computers capable of solving tricky computing problems (and maybe undermining today’s encryption algorithms) are still years away, but progress is being made by Google, IBM, Honeywell Quantum and Cambridge Quantum, and many other efforts. Microsoft and KPMG are teaming up to solve quantum optimization through software by using the emulation of quantum computing on today’s hardware in the Azure cloud. KPMG calls it Quantum-Inspired Optimization or QIO. SEE: What is quantum computing?...

Update: Microsoft has now announced the Microsoft Band, a $199 fitness band that does everything described below. It goes on sale Thursday. Microsoft hasn’t officially announced its wearable device, but it seems the company has accidentally published its desktop syncing client to the Mac App Store early. Whoops. The device is called the Microsoft Band (possibly Lumia Band, according to some currently non-functional support URLs) and sports a 310 x 102 resolution display....

System requirements Decent modern hardware is recommended. Dedicated GPUs are not required and run fine on Intel i3 processor alone. The maintainers didn’t provide the app’s official website (maybe there isn’t one) so the above requirement is just a rough guess made on top of my head after I tried it on my low-specs work notebook computer. Install Midnightmare Teddy You can search for Midnightmare Teddy on your Software center app and install it or use the command below on your favorite terminal program to install the game:...

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-GBfJ3Xork] Getting smooth handheld video as you pan around isn’t easy, and professional Steadicam solutions run to four figures and up – perhaps just a little OTT for an iPhone (though Apple doubtless used them). But the iPhone has a very capable camera, and the StayblCam is a $75 device designed to give you some of the benefits of a Steadicam at a rather more iPhone-friendly price. Available for pre-order now for delivery in September/October, I tried out a prototype to see how well it performs … Look & feel...

Top image shows a custom white skin from Colorware. Last month, a report claimed that Apple was considering adding a new Jet White color to the iPhone lineup following the success of Jet Black. The report claimed that it would feature the same glossy design as the black model and be introduced sometime before the major refresh next fall. Now, a video has emerged showing an early hands-on with what appears to be a painted Jet White iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus…...

Ninjas have been a mainstay of the Mortal Kombat universe ever since the introduction of iconic characters Sub-Zero and Scorpion in the first game in the series. From these humble beginnings, the number of ostensibly stealthy – yet inexplicably brightly-attired – warriors taking part in the franchise’s various tournaments has ballooned dramatically. At first, the rationale for the rapid increase in ninjas featured in Mortal Kombat was purely a technical concern....
