Stephen King’s Children of the Corn story and its movie adaptations feature the villain He Who Walks Behind the Rows, a deity with a devoted cult. Children of the Corn is a 10-movie franchise, a fact that’s honestly kind of puzzling. Just about every entry into the series is bad, but for whatever reason, they just keep arriving every few years. Clearly, someone is watching them, and the series has a following of devoted fans, despite how boring a franchise it appears to be on the surface....

A Taiwanese Apple supplier has warned that the global chip shortage will worsen without a massive increase in COVID-19 vaccinations on the island. The comment was made as the world’s leading chip testing company was forced to suspend production following a COVID-19 outbreak … Taiwan was initially hardly touched by the pandemic, thanks to tight travel restrictions and a world-beating contact-tracing system. However, infections are now rising exponentially in the country....

Bradley Cooper’s first hit the big screen in the 2001 ensemble comedy Wet Hot American Summer; however, it was around the end of that decade he began to rise to fame. Since the late 2000s, Cooper has remained one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Because of this, we decided to take a look at how all of his feature films rank. Rather than picking our own favorites though, we’re turning to IMDb for answers....

Breaking Bad is a show about, well, breaking bad. As show creator Vince Gilligan put it, breaking bad means “raising hell.” It’s when you abandon your moral spectrum. Since Walter White is the show’s protagonist, the title may suggest that the only one to break bad is this mild-mannered chemistry teacher who ends up becoming a ruthless drug kingpin. However, that’s not the case. Almost every character in the critically-acclaimed TV show has done something wrong....

In contrast to hiring a dedicated company for security testing, bug bounty programs encourage individual researchers to come to you. It’s crowdsourcing security in the same way we might crowdsource fundraising; but is a bug bounty program effective enough to replace dedicated security testing? No. Download Ted’s free ebook, “How to secure your software faster and better.” If your goal is to find and fix security vulnerabilities in order to improve the overall security of a software system, you can’t rely on bug bounty programs alone....

The iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro lineup is set to be revealed in a week and a half, and naturally, we mostly know what to expect: a big focus on camera improvements thanks to the new triple-camera system. Whilst the shape of the overall chassis is not changing, we are expecting some tweaks to the back of the phone....

Among the various topics, like the new employee discount program, discussed at a recent all-hands Town Hall session with Apple employees was something seemingly very important to CEO Tim Cook: Charity. Unlike cofounder Steve Jobs who thought his company should focus on maximizing shareholders’ value so they can donate their own wealth, the new boss is adamant that Apple must do more on this front. According to The Verge, the Town Hall meeting saw Cook shed more light on Apple’s charitable contributions that totaled $150 million (versus a cool $97....

After a long wait, Channel 4’s on demand service is finally available for Apple TV. This means the last major UK TV channel is now officially onboard with Apple’s set-top box. Whilst it is great that the app is now available on the App Store, search for ‘All 4’ in the tvOS App Store, the initial release of the All 4 app is relatively barebones. The features bring the You can access the Channel 4 catch up service with a variety of on demand TV shows from the last few weeks, in addition to its collection of box sets....

YouTube Vanced was easily one of the best inventions in recent history. It offered the YouTube experience but without all the annoyances like the pesky ads, constant changes in the UI, and questionable updates like the removal of the dislike counter. Not only did Vanced fix all these issues, but it brought about extra features that totally changed the way you consume content. The SponsorBlock API still remains to be one of the best features that Vanced had to offer....

Better Call Saul, the spin-off and prequel of sorts to AMC’s Breaking Bad, launched in 2015, just over a year after Breaking Bad ended. The series follows the story of Walter White’s shady lawyer Saul Goodman, a.k.a. Jimmy McGill. To date, four seasons have aired with a fifth scheduled to premiere on February 23, 2020, followed by a sixth and final season in 2021. There is still a lot of story to tell along with many unanswered questions....

In case you had not heard, BlackBerry World is occurring in Orlando right now, and RIM is officially announcing BlackBerry 10. Overall, I am not seeing anything that will save this company, but there are a few nice features in the new OS to speak of. First is the predictive text soft keyboard: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JEPYYo0-gfc] Interesting use of the predictive text here and perhaps ironic that, of all companies, RIM is putting the last nail in the physical keyboard coffin....

Borderlands 3 is full of legendary loot and the best way to earn some legendary weapons is through boss fights. One of the earliest bosses players will face off against is Mouthpiece. A massive man with a giant shield and electrified speakers. Taking on Mouthpiece can be a bit of a challenge for new players but taking him down can earn you his legendary shotgun, the Mind-Killer. The Mind-Killer shotgun isn’t a guaranteed drop, but luckily Mouthpiece is an easily farm-able boss....

A Bright sequel is still in the works, according to director David Ayer. Released as a Netflix Original in 2017, the first Bright starred Will Smith and Joel Edgerton as LAPD officer Daryl Ward and Nick Jakoby, the first-ever orc cop in a world where humans have existed alongside fantasy creatures for centuries. The genre mashup was largely dismissed by critics (citing its half-baked metaphors about racism and general sloppiness), but was a huge success for Netflix, bringing in a reported 11 million viewers in its first weekend of streaming alone....

The detectives of Brooklyn Nine-Nine are a mixed bag of brilliant and goofy, but the true star of the precinct was Gina Linetti. She was paid to be Captain Holt’s assistant but more often than not, she didn’t work. Gina somehow managed to play the airhead that didn’t know anything but also exuded confidence fitting for her true brilliance. There’s a reason a group of psychologists once referred to her as the complete overlap of the id and the ego....

So, again: what a difference two years makes. What was once a drab interface that gave marketers very little control over their campaigns—and even less insight into performance—is now as full featured as they come. In the previous version, customers created a brief, set a budget, set some criteria for influencers and then sat back and watched everything else unfold. There was no interaction with influencers or any other kind of creative direction or input that could be offered beyond whatever they put in the brief....
