James Gunn has said his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy is “going to tell one story” about the lovable group of misfits when it’s all said and done. Though this summer’s hotly-anticipated Vol. 2 has not yet been released in theaters, talk has already turned to what the future has in store for the criminals-turned-heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Star-Lord and friends will be part of the massive Avengers: Infinity War ensemble next year, but they also have a big role to play in Phase 4....

Usually, the internal networks are configured so that internet traffic from clients is disallowed. This is because such traffic is hard to control. By forcing the users to connect through a proxy, all HTTP traffic can be inspected on application layers for arbitrary attacks, and detected threats can be easily blocked. Since attackers often use HTTPS traffic to circumvent IDS/IPS in such configurations, HTTPS traffic can also be inspected, but that forces the HTTPS sessions to be established from client to proxy and then from proxy to actual HTTPS web server – clients cannot establish an HTTPS session directly to an HTTPS web server....

Like teachers in the real world, the Professors at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry vary. There are competent heads such as Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall, who use their skills to further the education and understandings of all the young pupils at their disposal.

It appears that Germany, Switzerland, Latvia, and Estonia are four of the 22 countries to adopt the Apple/Google API for their coronavirus contact-tracing apps … A Reuters report confirms that Latvia is doing so.

Latvia’s Apturi Covid (Stop Covid) app is […] based on technology launched last week by Apple and Google, whose iOS and Android operating systems run 99% of the world’s smartphones....

2016 wasn’t a great year for Paramount Pictures at the box office, what with the latest movie installments in such Paramount franchises as Star Trek, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Jack Reacher all performing below commercial expectations (though Arrival was a high note for the studio). Paramount is looking to reverse its fortunes in 2017 with movies such as the Dwayne Johnson-led Baywatch reboot and Michael Bay’s latest Transformers film, Transformers: The Last Knight, as well as this March’s live-action Ghost in the Shell anime/manga film adaptation, starring Scarlett Johansson....

Ghostbusters 2020 is officially done filming. The successful comedy-horror franchise has been through a lot over the past few years, and with Juno director Jason Reitman now at the helm of a new entry into the mythology, fans are primed for more. Aside from being an Oscar-nominated director, Reitman is also the son of Ivan Reitman, who directed the first two Ghostbusters movies. A third film in the series was seemingly on the mind of every Ghostbusters fan from the instant that Ghostbusters II ended its theatrical run some thirty years ago....

Cumberbatch has been particularly busy as of late. In 2018 alone he lent his voice to not one but two projects, Imagination’s The Grinch, and Netflix’s Jungle Book adaptation Mowgli, directed by fellow Hobbit co-star Andy Serkis - not to mention reprising his role as Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange, in the Marvel blockbuster Avengers: Infinity War and the 5-part limited series Patrick Melrose for Showtime. Good Omens is another surprising credit on this already busy actor’s roster for 2019....

Google Pixel 6 series devices are not only highlighted on news due to their design and performance but also their bugs and issues. It seems that even after having been in the market for years, Google isn’t improving that much in their Pixel device segment.

Following Google’s release of an official AdSense Android app on Google Play last week, today the company has released an iOS version of the app. Much like the Android version, this is the first official AdSense client Google has released for the platform, and brings competition for some of the free and paid third-party clients already on the App Store. The app also provides much of the same functionality of the Android app, allowing users to access most reporting features available through the Adsense website, as well as payment alerts (which unfortunately can’t be dismissed at this point)....
