If you can’t beat ’em, tell the government to force ’em to let you beat ’em. That’s the approach BlackBerry CEO John Chen wants to take to mobile software development. Today Chen wrote in a blog post on the BlackBerry website that he believes the issue of net neutrality requires the government to not only promote and protect neutrality not only among wireless and broadband carriers, but also among app and content providers....

[WARNING: SPOILERS for Blade Runner 2049 ahead.] – The writers of Blade Runner 2049 have offered their thoughts on the franchise’s long-held debate over Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard. The acclaimed sequel from Denis Villeneuve is a visual triumph and a worthy follow-up to Ridley Scott’s classic original, and it also manages to expand upon what made the first Blade Runner so memorable. Perhaps most strikingly, it keeps intact the mystery of whether Deckard is a replicant....

The Bluetooth group said that mesh networking would provide a more reliable and scaleable solution for building and home automation devices, networks of sensors, and other IoT devices where many devices need to communicate with one another. It’s adding the new spec after many requests from its member companies, and is making it available starting today for use in accessories using Bluetooth LE 4....

Brothers in arms Walter Blunt (Patrick Stewart) and Harry Chandler (Adrian Scarborough) are coming back for season 2 of Blunt Talk, despite the first year’s not-so-impressive ratings. Starz is hoping this story about a British newsman transplanted to Los Angeles, hoping to fix the world with his wise words delivered via cable news, will gradually catch on with audiences. Stewart’s recent Golden Globe nod may help draw attention to the largely overlooked series....

The BodyGuardz Pure Premium Glass screen protector differentiates itself from most others by being made of glass instead of plastic. This made it feel just like the iPhone does without a protector, which is very important to me. It also means it won’t have that horrible orange peel effect that most screen protectors develop over time. In addition to the actual glass screen protector, Bodyguardz provides a wet wipe to sanitize and clean the applicant’s hands....

Team, I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought. In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June....

Bill Murray stars in a Jeep Super Bowl commercial reprising his role as Phil Connors from 1993’s Groundhog Day. This year’s Super Bowl LIV is airing on the February 2 holiday, making a commercial celebrating not just the date but the comedy that turned the weird tradition into a phenomenon a more than apt choice. Murray is, of course, a beloved American actor who’s starred in numerous films, but his role as a man trapped in a time loop while visiting Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania for its yearly groundhog festivities is one of his most iconic....

Apple is reportedly telling suppliers that it doesn’t expect iPhone 13 sales to pick up for the holidays and beyond, according to Bloomberg News. Apple is currently limited by how many iPhones can be assembled with available parts and not demand, but Bloomberg says Apple doesn’t expect customers experiencing long wait times to maintain interest when supply picks up. Bloomberg News previously reported that Apple cut its iPhone 13 production plans by 10 million units due to part constraints including the ongoing global chip shortage....

Bones was a funky comedy crime drama that explored the dynamic relationship between forensic anthropologist Temperance ‘Bones’ Brennan and FBI Agent Seeley Booth as they solved crimes together. The series ran for an impressive 12 seasons before ending in 2017. Like with many popular long-running TV programs, Bones had its fair share of amazing episodes and storylines, with the relationships between the main protagonists and the rest of the team at the Jeffersonian Institute becoming the beating heart of the show....

Beyond Good & Evil 2 was actual vaporware for more than a decade, but it is still coming out…eventually. A scarceness of updates can be easily mistaken as a lack of progress, but those updates do exist, and when connected to everything else Ubisoft has disclosed about the game so far, and what is known about the company’s other properties, they can help players guess relatively safely about a probable release window....

Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) finally gets his revenge on Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), without even intentionally doing it, in the latest The Big Bang Theory episode. In general, Sheldon isn’t really known for treating anyone else well. He tends to look down on his colleagues, bully his friends, and even his own wife. In short, he can make hanging out with him very difficult. But he has never treated anyone worse than he has Howard....

Google’s 2018 recap reveals the top-trending search terms, including the Marvel Studios movie Black Panther and deceased pop culture icon Stan Lee. 2018 has been a wild year for America, and for pop culture as a whole. As usual, some films wowed while others flopped, some TV shows captivated while others bored, and as it’s been for most of the decade, comic book-based projects dominated the mainstream in a way no one would’ve imagined even two decades ago....

Black Panther is breaking box office records and garnering adulation from audiences as a bonafide cultural phenomenon - thanks in no small part to Michael B. Jordan’s electrifying performance as the villainous Killmonger. Suddenly, Marvel Studios has a tough act to follow. How does Avengers: Infinity War and its Big Bad, Thanos, top Black Panther and Killmonger? It might be strange to think the biggest Marvel movie yet featuring every Avenger and Guardian of the Galaxy now has a difficult hill to climb....

Scarlett Johansson says that the scrapped Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Black Widow romantic relationship was scrapped in the MCU after Avengers: Age of Ultron is for the better. The franchise has had its fair share of success with regard to exploring their superheroes’ romantic lives, case in point: Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), and even Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and Gamora (Zoe Saldana)....

Leaked packaging from an upcoming Star Wars LEGO set tease Boba Fett’s escape from the Sarlaac pit. The fan-favorite bounty hunter suffered one of the most unceremonious deaths in cinematic history in Return of the Jedi, when he was accidentally bumped into by a visually-impaired Han Solo and went tumbling into the monster’s belly. George Lucas later said if he knew just how popular Boba Fett was, he would have come up with a different fate for the character....

It’s hard to believe that Big Mouth is three seasons old this year, but that is the case. Last week the series dropped it’s the third (and thankfully not final) season. That means we’ve had plenty of time to watch through the latest season. And for us to start forming opinions on what we’ve seen. There are eleven episodes in this season – counting the Valentine’s special that came out earlier this year....

The Arrowverse may have started with just the Green Arrow on a mission to save his city, but in the five years since The CW launched their massive superhero universe, it has expanded to include dozens of characters that fans know and love from the comics. From out-there favorites like Gorilla Grodd and King Shark, to entire super-teams, the Arrowverse continues to grow and expand into new corners of the world of DC Comics....

Blumhouse’s Black Christmas remake is already looking very different to the original film, judging by the trailer. Bob Clark’s slasher Black Christmas was released in 1974 and is considered by many as one of the earliest slasher films, and it was a big influence on another slasher classic: John Carpenter’s Halloween. Black Christmas wasn’t well received by critics in the beginning, but throughout the years it has earned a cult following and much better reviews....
