Thanos is finally dead in the world of Marvel Comics. But when you’re as bad a villain as he, not even death is truly the end. Which means it’s time for Thanos to claim a NEW body in Marvel’s Universe… and gods help whoever is living in it when he does. That’s the story that has begun in the pages of Marvel’s rebooted Guardians of the Galaxy comic book series, spinning out of the recent Infinity Wars event....

Jurassic World: The Ride will replace the Jurassic Park ride at the California location, capitalizing on the popularity of the new movies.

Universal Studios announced details for Jurassic World: The Ride in March. Steven Spielberg, as well as Colin Trevorrow, would be helping to oversee the creation of the attraction....

Sony’s PlayStation 2 has been around for quite a while. In fact, it was released so long ago that it’s kind of bizarre to think about how much the gaming industry has changed in the nearly twenty years since it first hit the scene. Before the PS2, games were largely offline single-player experiences, 3D graphics were still in their infancy, and games boasting mature or provocative themes were still few and far between due to the fact that most consumers still believed gaming to be a pastime mainly intended for children....

AAPL saw a slight gain today as the overall market saw the opposite. That was enough to push Apple shares to a new all-time high. Notably, that’s against the backdrop of the company reporting its holiday performance on January 27 – with expectations that it will be Apple’s first-ever $100 billion quarter. AAPL’s value hasn’t moved much since the end of 2020. On December 29, we saw Apple shares hit $138....

Tuesday will see AAPL Q2 2019 revenue announced by the company, and the Wall Street consensus is that Apple will announce numbers somewhere around the midpoint of its $55-59B guidance. That would represent a year-on-year decline of around 5-6%. The averages of four different analyst surveys show predictions ranging from $57.44B to $58.27B, with three of them coming up with $57 point something billion … PED30 has the averages from surveys by:...

From initial alerts and warnings to disaster assistance and community responses, Twitter played an invaluable role in keeping the public connected during this time of uncertainty. People from Texas and beyond turned to the platform to share resources, raise funds and rally around the community as they endured the worst of the storm. These Tweets do more than just show support. They create a wealth of social data that can be used to inform how we respond to future natural disasters....

A full, desktop-class version of Photoshop on iOS has been one of the most hotly anticipated creative apps for designers and artists since the original iPad’s introduction in 2010. In the years since, competitors have released their own products hoping to fill the void, but can’t offer true integration with Creative Cloud that existing Photoshop customer have come to expect. Today at 2018’s Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles, Adobe is answering the requests of the creative community by previewing what it calls real Photoshop CC for iPad....

Though it has subsequently been somewhat overshadowed by the many successes that Pixar has had, A Bug’s Life was the second feature film produced by the studio when it came out. It would go on to earn a tidy sum at the box office as well as critical acclaim. Though the animation looks a little less polished than what Disney fans see from Pixar these days, the humor of the film actually holds up surprisingly well thanks to these hilarious quotes....

The announcement that Apple will not hit even the lower end of its guidance for the current quarter has seen AAPL down more than 3% in pre-market trading. At the time of writing, the stock is down by more than $11, a 3.5% drop on yesterday’s close… Apple had earlier reflected coronavirus uncertainties by giving unusually wide guidance with a $4B range, but yesterday announced that it would miss this range completely....

Abominable is a kind-hearted family friendly fantasy adventure that offsets its cookie-cutter plotting with beautiful animation and playful humor. Of the three animated yeti films to hit theaters in the past year, DreamWorks’ Abominable might be both the simplest and sweetest. Whereas last year’s Smallfoot and this spring’s Missing Link (both of which involve yetis in some capacity) dealt with themes of classism and general prejudice, Abominable is a more straightforward parable about how emotional trauma can blind people to the (in this case, literal) magic and wonder of the world....

Outgoing ACCC chair Rod Sims, in his annual speech to the Committee for Economic Development Australia, said the ACCC’s compliance and enforcement efforts would focus on these priority items due to their growing prevalence as of late. “Consumers are facing a growing number of manipulative techniques to exploit or pressure them, and other practices that seek to distort or disregard their consumer choice in the digital economy,” Sims said, when explaining the ACCC’s consumer concerns for the 2022/23 financial year....
