A pair of teaser images posted on Madrid’s Parquesur mall’s Facebook page. That Apple’s retail chief Ron Johnson is on its way out, taking over CEO post at JC Penney early 2012, hasn’t affected the slightest bit the company’s aggressive retail expansion. Last week, the gadget maker opened five new stores: Two in the U.S. (one in Anchorage, Alaska and the other in Murray, Utah), a store in Research In Motion’s Waterloo, Ontario homeland, as well as shops in Australia’s Cheltenham and Italy’s Florence....

Anguirus’ skeleton was secretly included in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and the movie’s credits may have revealed what killed him. In classic Toho movies, Anguirus is one of Godzilla’s most recognizable and iconic allies. Anguirus fought at Godzilla’s side as he went up against King Ghidorah and Gigan in Godzilla vs. Gigan, and was one of several kaiju to join him in the battle with King Ghidorah in Destroy All Monsters....

A handful of MonsterVerse characters - which includes both humans and Titans - are confirmed to return in the next film in the franchise, Godzilla vs. Kong alongside a host of new characters. So far, the number of returning Titans in the film haven’t been announced yet, such as Rodan, who unlike Mothra and King Ghidorah, wasn’t killed at the end of Godzilla: King of the Monsters. That wasn’t confirmed by the first Godzilla vs Kong trailer, however, but it did offer first looks at lots of new characters and two new Titans....

Few will argue if you tell them Google Maps is the best navigation service, and it’s continually getting better all the time. Today, Google is bringing a new feature to Maps to improve its functionality for wheelchair users. While Google Maps can easily give users directions to get around town, it hasn’t always been that great at identifying if those routes are wheelchair-accessible. Starting today in select cities, Google Maps can use a filter to look for routes that are wheelchair-accessible....

Google has announced that it will shortly be rolling out a new version of its Google Translate iOS app, with two significant enhancements. First, it is replacing the existing camera-based text translation with the far slicker Word Lens system. Google acquired Word Lens back in May of last year with this upgrade in mind. If you haven’t ever tried it, this was the app that brought home to me the truth of the Arthur C Clarke saying that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic....

Everyone knows Giancarlo Esposito plays a good villain, but he’s set to have a bumper year of TV evil-doing in 2020, with roles in The Boys, The Mandalorian and Better Call Saul. Rising to prominence in Breaking Bad, Esposito will forever be known as the calmly sinister drug kingpin, Gustavo Fring. Under the guise of a chicken restaurant owner, Fring manages a criminal meth amphetamine empire and acts as the chief antagonist to Bryan Cranston’s Walter White throughout the bulk of Breaking Bad, meeting an especially memorable demise in the final season....

Apple could be considering not just a return to glass-backed iPhones, but even replacing the aluminum backs of iMacs and monitors with glass at some stage, reveals a newly-granted patent published today. One of the illustrations appears to show an iMac-style device, while others show something looking like an iPhone (below) … A return to glass-backed iPhones, anyone? As Patently Apple notes, it’s unusual to see Jony Ive listed as one of the inventors of a patent that extends beyond pure design, though this one is clearly heavily design-oriented....

Glee was one of those shows that you had to watch with a box full of tissues by your side in order to properly get through. This was due to the fact that the series presented a roller coaster of emotions in practically every episode from start to finish. There were so many heartbreaking moments in the series, making it is almost impossible to keep track of all the times we cried our eyes out while shakily updating our Facebook statuses in order to announce to the uninterested internet that we were “Proud Gleeks....

In response, protocols like HTML5 and HTTPS are spreading further. They meet customer demands to have access to any data at any time anywhere, especially when it comes to online shopping or banking. All of these web-based advancements, however, have also attracted cyberthieves and hackers, encouraging them to find new vulnerabilities and attack vectors to target businesses and unsuspecting website visitors. For those looking to explain the basics and myths around web server security and how they can improve the security of their websites, this article is the first of the Infosec Skills series in web server protection....

March 2017 will see the release of several could-be blockbusters, spanning a relative wide range in genres. The lineup includes the hard-edged comic book adaptation Logan, the action/adventure (and King Kong movie franchise reboot) Kong: Skull Island, the big screen reboot of Saban’s own superhero franchise, Power Rangers, and a much buzzed about live-action musical version of Disney’s animated Beauty and the Beast. On top of all that, Paramount Pictures will be using that month to launch its live-action adaptation of the touchstone anime/manga property, Ghost in the Shell, starring Scarlett Johansson....

When you sit down to watch a Ryan Murphy show, there are certain things that will always be true. The tone will be fun and campy, the drama will be detailed and entertaining, and the clothing will be awesome. This is true of Scream Queens, when Emma Roberts and the Chanels wore lots of pink and furry coats, and of the current season of American Horror Story with its fun ’80s aerobics outfits....

WhatsApp has been trying to introduce a new privacy policy for some time that would seemingly give it more freedom to share data with Facebook, its owner. This was meant to start at the beginning of 2021 but was delayed in January, with WhatsApp citing “misinformation causing concern.” At the time, WhatsApp tried to clarify proceedings. It said the new privacy policy does not change how it shares data about individual users and conversations with Facebook....

Sony has released a trailer for 2020’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Many Ghostbusters fans probably (and fairly) assumed the paranormal horror-comedy franchise was dead in the water after Paul Feig’s movie reboot failed to cover its budget in 2016. Then, at the start of this year, Sony unexpectedly announced a third film based in the original 1984 Ghostbusters universe is moving forward for a summer 2020 release. The long-awaited Ghostbusters 3 is being directed by Oscar-nominee Jason Reitman (Juno, Tully), who’s also the son of Ghostbusters 1&2 helmer Ivan Reitman....

I’ve included choices that not only check the boxes for what I consider great form, but also provide multiple useful functions. After the break are three solid options that will fit a variety of tastes and budgets from $14-$50. I’ve been using some type of wallet case since my first iPhone (iPhone 3G)....

One of my favorite things about Outlook is the reading pane. Emails can be opened instantly and switched around quickly. With Gmail, each message has to be opened individually or in a new window/tab. Sure, Gmail isn’t exactly “slow” but with this new lab feature it can be even faster. Additionally, if you have a wide-screen monitor now you can make use of some otherwise unused space. If you use Outlook on a regular basis, you are probably already used to having your emails listed and then viewed in an adjacent box....
