Despite being a retrospective, the main focus of Google’s 2021 Year in Review: Google Quantum AI release is the future of the technology. Yes, the company does go over the progress it made during the year in its efforts to build error-free qubits and more practical hardware, but it quickly moves onto its dreams for the still-young 2020s. This long-term commitment, Google said, is focused on three key areas: Bringing quantum computing processor technology to the point where it can outperform not only classic computers, but also classic supercomputers....

Following Green Lantern’s notable exclusion from the lineup for the first Justice League live-action movie, it’s recently come out that DC and Warner Bros. are moving forward with their previously announced Green Lantern Corps movie. The DC Extended Universe Green Lantern film reportedly revolves around both John Stewart and Hal Jordan, with screenwriters David Goyer and Justin Rhodes attached to handle the screenplay. A potential casting shortlist for Hal Jordan specifically has now been unveiled, too....

According to a forum post on tonymacx86, Apple’s latest release of Mountain Lion, the 10.8 developer preview, is able to natively support AMD Radeon HD 6950 and 6970 without the need for any tweaks or hacks. As for the 6950 and 6970 specifically, the reports originate from the netkas.org forums where several posters report a 6950 running Netkas EFI working natively in 10.8. One poster even reported the 6950 continues to be recognized in Lion with unmodified drivers after “warm booting back to Lion from Mountain Lion....

A doctor who can speak to animals may be the selling point of Dolittle’s wacky adventure, which is out in theaters this weekend, but it’s the human characters that make up the heart of the film. After secluding himself away from the world, Dr. Dolittle (Robert Downey Jr.) can only be induced to return to society by a very brave pair of children. Harry Collett plays Tommy Stubbins, and he spoke with Screen Rant about the burgeoning dynamic between the naïve apprentice and his world-weary hero....

The magical world of Harry Potter is as complex as it is fascinating. And that goes doubly so for family ties. Thankfully, we know a fair bit about the genealogy in this world. And yet there are still surprises to be found – or to be reminded of. The pureblooded wizarding families all seem to be connected, but that makes total sense when you think about it. After all, there are only so many families you can marry into if you want to maintain that status....

Draco Malfoy is a rather complex character from Harry Potter. While it might have been Snape’s redemption story that was focused on more in the books, many fans have argued that it was Draco who deserved more of this focus. In many ways, he was a victim, but in many other ways, he was a horrible person. He’s definitely a character that many love and that inspired a lot of debate....

Google has redesigned its Google Drive application for iPad, and iPhone, and iPod touch to appear more in-line with the designs of the company’s other apps on iOS. The new design focuses on improved previewing of files, and it also includes improved management and sorting of files. Also new is improved landscape editing support, copying links to files, and the overall sharing of files with other people. The update also brings an enhanced focus on searching through files:...

In a lengthy Twitter thread, Google Europe ran through a list of measures it’s taking to automatically safeguard accounts, as well as measures users themselves can take to increase their privacy and security through freely available account features. First, the company made it clear that it is actively attempting to “look out for and disrupt disinfo campaigns, hacking, and financially motivated abuse” surrounding the conflict. This effort includes collaborations with other companies and “relevant government bodies” to address rising threats....

Grab said in a statement Thursday it completed its merger with Altimeter in a deal that raised $4.5 billion in gross proceeds, marking the largest US public market debut by a Southeast Asian company. Shareholders on Tuesday approved the SPAC deal, which was announced in April, and set the Singapore-based mobile platform on course for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker symbol GRAB The SPAC deal is touted to be the biggest US equity offering, clocking at an estimated value of $39....

Guardians of the Galaxy was one of Marvel’s biggest hits, turning former unknown heroes like Star-Lord and Groot into A-listers and making the sequel one of the most anticipated films on the studio’s slate. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits in May and is going to bring with it even more obscure comic book characters that are now set to become iconic. The team themselves will be joined by returning characters Yondu and Nebula, as well as franchise newcomer Mantis (played by Pom Klementieff), but that’s just the tip of the spaceberg....

Guillermo del Toro is a very busy filmmaker. 2017 sees the release of his next directing effort, Cold War-era fantasy The Shape of Water, and he’s hard at work producing Pacific Rim: Uprising, as well as overseeing Netflix Original Trollhunters. His schedule is so perpetually hectic, in fact, that he has a list of projects he’s shelved longer than most other director’s filmography (most notably The Hobbit, the failed Silent Hills game and DC’s Dark Universe)....

In the initial two betas, the new Home screen functionality for widgets, App Library, and page editing wasn’t very obvious. To help with discoverability, Apple has added three new explainer pop-ups to the mix to help new users get started. Although these explainers may be tweaked in some way prior to the final version of iOS 14, I expect these to become permanent pieces of the iOS 14 getting-started experience. As always, this is just a small part of the changes present in beta 3, so have a look at our bulleted list below for all of the changes covered....

The Netatmo Weather Station has existed as a product for a while, but only recently added HomeKit support, which is what piqued my interest. I’ve been testing the Netatmo Weather Station for about a week, and I think it is really great. Any drawbacks originate from weaknesses in the HomeKit standard; these are Apple’s problems to fix. The Weather Station is really a modular ecosystem of accessories. However, you get a lot of mileage out of just the core product — which is what I’ve been using....

As we highlighted in our 50 new changes post, iOS 10 beta 2 is stuffed to gills with tons of new updates and features. In the following video walkthrough, we’d like to highlight another iOS 10 beta 2 change — the presence of all new Bedtime Wake Up Sounds in the default Clock app. To find these new Wake Up Sounds, you’ll need to be running iOS 10 beta 2. From there, simply open the stock Clock app, and tap the Bedtime tab, followed by the Options button in the upper left-hand corner....

The Portable Magnetic Charging Stand for Apple Watch is lengthy in name, but simple in purpose and execution. Ugreen’s latest Apple Watch accessory is a portable stand that can be adjusted to rest at a 45-degree angle to easily accommodate an Apple Watch with a closed-loop band installed. Featuring an integrated magnetic inductive charging disk and built-in 4-foot USB cable, Ugreen’s $55 charger is ready to go out of the box, as long as you have access to a USB port that delivers the necessary power....

Auto Unlock was one of the biggest features announced at WWDC 2016 that didn’t make it in the initial round of developer betas back in mid-June. Today, thanks to the highly anticipated release of the latest macOS Sierra beta, developers get their first hands-on look at Auto Unlock. Watch our video inside to see it in action. There are some things to note about Auto Unlock. First and foremost, you’ll need to be running the latest macOS Sierra Developer Preview Seed 2....

Former star of The Bachelorette and recent Dancing with the Stars winner, Hannah Brown took some time to reflect about her sudden rise to fame as a reality TV star in 2019. She revealed that her honesty with her audience was entirely refusing to be a fake version of herself. Hannah’s authenticity really helped her connect with her fans and makes her audience feel like they’re friends of hers. She began 2019 as a contestant on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor, placing 7th....

The notion of continuing SYFY’s Happy! after what turned out to be a highly stylized, hyper-violent, and always over-the-top first season seems like a difficult task. After all, the story of Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni) racing through the streets of New York City to find his kidnapped daughter Hailey (Bryce Lorenzo) from a deranged Santa, all while a corrupt children’s entertainer, Sonny Shine (Christopher Fitzgerald), made the world a creepier, less festive place, seemed, like the comic of the same name from Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson on which it was based, destined to be a one-and-done series....

Draco Malfoy was first introduced to us all the way back in 2001 as an arrogant, evil Slytherin student motivated by an evil intention, surrounded by his subservient lackeys and always trying to get one up on Harry Potter himself. As the Harry Potterfranchise developed from a friendly, heartwarming children’s film into a selection of dark battles against pure horror, the character of Draco Malfoy developed too. Here are the ten biggest ways he changed from The Philosopher’s Stone to The Deathly Hallows....
