Godzilla: King of the Monsters secretly added an unexpected plot device to the MonsterVerse. The movie reveals that telepathic mind control, a major science fiction movie trope, is possible in the world of Godzilla, and was in fact practised by ancient civilizations in order to control the Titans. Moreover, this form of control could make a comeback in the present day, in the form of Orca technology. The redacted text in the credits of Godzilla: King of the Monsters provides some surprising revelations about the history of the MonsterVerse, particularly in terms of the relationship between mankind and Titans in ancient times....

One rising star from the film is Molly Gordon, who also appeared in another of the year’s best comedies, Booksmart.

The report suggests that Google is going make the upcoming service separate from Google+. Users will also be able to easily share images to Facebook and Twitter, which means Google is taking a different approach, probably realizing that its own Google Plus network simply can’t compete with Facebook. I tend to believe that there will be more users interested in a dedicated Google photo storage service instead of being basically forced to store their photos in G+....

Google TV Out — Android TV In Existing Google TV products will continue to work, but they will no longer be getting updates, and the developer tools and libraries are no longer available.

And don’t throw away your Google TV device yet....

Gossip Girl may seem like an old, nostalgic series these days. However, its timeless story of drama and power struggle among the rich and privileged in New York’s Upper East Side is still just as entertaining today as the day its pilot aired. Along with showcasing ground-breaking fashion and brand new music, the series also did a commentary on family and mental health. However, what truly made Gossip Girl special were the characters, inspired by the book series of the same name....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 just screened for the media in select cities in preparation for tomorrow’s junket (stay tuned for our video interviews!) and early reactions have begun to surface online painting an extremely positive picture.

The operating system was poised as familiar on the interface level, but revolutionary in terms of performance enhancements and support for new features. As the two characters in this early 90s Windows 3.1 commercial quip: “So, you’ve used Microsoft?” “For as long as I’ve been using computers.” Today, Microsoft, of course, is looking to the future rather than the past, especially with the fast-paced releases of its current flagship OS, Windows 10....

Saying that Bellatrix Lestrange is one the most notorious villains in the Harry Potter franchise is the understatement of the century. As one of the most evil witches in wizarding history, she is the personification of what a villain is on film and in novels. Many of the most wicked acts in this series were perpetrated by Bellatrix, and she is known to induce nightmares in frightened viewers. Other than Voldemort himself, there isn’t anyone more dangerous on the evil side of the Harry Potter universe....

The long-awaited release of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is now set for a June 21 release date in the US and UK. Given that the real-world AR gameplay has been developed by Niantic (the company behind Pokémon Go) it follows similar augmented reality gameplay mechanics but introduces the wonderful world of Harry Potter rather than Gamefreak’s Pocket Monsters. We saw the game get a limited release beta back in May in Australia and New Zealand....

Game streaming has opened a world of possibilities for new devices to get in on high-end games, regardless of what device they own.

First of all, let’s get the figures out of way, as the price of the transaction has been already announced. Google will pay $ 12.5 billion, which accounts to $40 a share, and both boards have approved the deal. Motorola was one of Google’s most important partners when it came to Android (many say that Android saved Motorola from a very grim fate), but, most of all, Motorola owns a huge patent portfolio....

J.K. Rowling has done a tremendous job of creating romances between her characters that are scattered throughout her books. The love stories throughout the Harry Potter series mark one of the many reasons that we are so loyal to this magical franchise and will continue to adore it until the end of time. We all know the obvious shippings in the series such as “Romione” (Ron and Hermione) and “Hinny” (Harry and Ginny), but what are some of the other couples that are in and out of the canon that caught our eye?...
