While Helena Bertinelli aka The Huntress isn’t the most famous DC superhero/villain ever, she still managed to become popular among many fans who enjoy heroes, not as squeaky clean as some other DC big names (Superman, or Wonder Woman, to name just two). Just like the city, she lives in, Gotham, Huntress is a complicated character who hides in the shadows and only steps out of them to do what she deems necessary and to disappear immediately afterward....

DC’s latest movie, Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn), has aimed to break barriers with regards to diversity and inclusivity, both in front of and behind the camera. Director Cathy Yan and Cassandra Cain actress Ella Jay Basco have contributed to that goal, and Screen Rant recently caught up with them at a Birds of Prey event to discuss - as part of a group interview with other entertainment outlets - what that diversity means to them, the film’s R rating, and the comic book industry in general....

The director of photography for Black Adam wants to reshape what a comic book movie is. Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and set to release in 2021, Black Adam is being directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and has already been confirmed to be the first introduction of The Justice Society of America into DC’s cinematic universe. A number of rumors have surrounded the announcement of the upcoming Black Adam movie, including one which suggests Henry Cavill might return as Superman for the film and another, likely spurned on by the actor himself, which says Kevin Hart will be in Black Adam....

Objective In this article, we would be assuming the role of the ethical hacker who has zero knowledge about the target network. The objective would be to breach the target network, own the entire domain and compromise critical assets of the target network. So let’s get started. Limitations Before beginning the assessment, it was clear that we would have zero information about the target network and would only be given physical access to the guest area of the target network....

Black Desert has announced its third major content update, Valencia, which will be free for all Xbox One users — and there may be an influx of those coming soon, as the game will also become available as part of the Xbox Game Pass tomorrow, May 9, with subscribers getting a special in-game item and 20% off Standard, Deluxe, or Ultimate edition bundles. Black Desert is the ambitious MMORPG title from developer Pearl Abyss, and it has quietly been refining itself into one of the best experiences in the genre across several major content updates....

Warning! Mild spoilers ahead for Birds of Prey. Warner Bros. and DC’s latest film, Birds of Prey, unites several women of Gotham City together in one epic girl gang action film, narrated by the chaotic Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie). The team-up film features Gotham City detective Renee Montoya, Black Canary, Huntress, and Quinn herself, with crime boss Roman Sionis (Black Mask) being the villain that brings them all together. Played by Ewan McGregor, Black Mask is a classic Batman villain from the comics, who wants nothing more than total control of Gotham, as well as the deaths of all the aforementioned women....

​This is why we always keep testing newer versions of popular Linux distributions or completely new distributions as soon they are launched. But the problem arrives when we have to keep making a bootable USB for every distro that we want to test. So is there a solution to this problem? The answer is YES! And the answer is ‘Don’t make a bootable USB’. Yes, you read it right. There is an Android application Called DriveDroid(requires Root) which can mount iso images as USB drives which can be used to boot to your distribution of choice....

Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket is more darkly comedic than the average war film, but its portrayal of war is as shocking and terrifying and bleak as you’ll find in any other entry in the genre. Praised by contemporary critics for its complex themes, gorgeous visuals, and powerful performances, Full Metal Jacket was an instant classic that captivated audiences. At the 60th Academy Awards, Kubrick and his co-writers were nominated for the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay....

Watching Breaking Bad a second time drastically changes the perception of the series, specifically when it comes to Walter White. The series starring Bryan Cranston originally debuted in 2008 and ran for five seasons before it came to an end in 2013. Many viewers decided to give the award-winning series a rewatch to gear up for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, which hit Netflix in October. During Breaking Bad’s initial run, viewers were enamored by Walter White....

Fans may have loved Captain Marvel, but the superhero film received one distinction it might not have wanted: the most mistakes in any film this year. Captain Marvel was released in March 2019 and introduced audiences to Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, played by Brie Larson. Ironically, the movie was shot after the final Avengers film, Avengers: Endgame, even though it came it out a month earlier. As Avengers: Endgame also features Captain Marvel, this put Larson and filmmakers in the unique position of figuring out the character before they’d seen or filmed her origin story....

Included in activist shareholder and investor Carl Icahn’s open letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook requesting an increased stock buyback from the company is somewhat of a prediction about when Apple might release an actual Apple TV set, not just an updated set-top box. Icahn sees fiscal year 2016 as an opportunity for Apple to enter the home television market citing an upgrade cycle due to UltraHD displays. In his open letter to Tim Cook, Carl Icahn went on to predict that the hypothetical Apple-branded television will be sold in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes averaging $1,500 in price....

In short, they have a lot of goodies that they’ll be announcing later today (and we’ll update this post when they do).

According to the latest ChangeWave Research survey posted Monday, both Apple and Samsung are enjoying “explosive momentum” as 2012 begins while other handset makers are struggling to win the hearts of minds of consumers, such as Canada-based Research In Motion, which today updated its struggling BlackBerry platform with new software features, and Taiwan-based HTC, which posted a 26 percent income drop today —its first quarterly profit decline in two years....

Dutch carrier KPN might have done it first as a publicity stunt, but Chinese carrier Unicom is seemingly offering pocket enlargements as a serious but publicity focussed service for iPhone 6 Plus buyers, reports Ubergizmo.

It is offering in-house pocket enlargement to customers who pick up Apple’s largest iPhone ever....

Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler (affectionately known as “Shamy”) stole our hearts back in the Season 3 finale of The Big Bang Theory when they were first brought together. It wasn’t so much of a “will-they-won’t-they” situation – we always knew they were the only two people for each other – but it was certainly a question of how far these two unique characters would be able to take their relationship, mostly because of Sheldon and his “Sheldonisms....

The recent DC superhero film Birds of Prey featured plenty of memorable female characters, most importantly Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie. However, Harley wasn’t the only dame in Gotham who wanted to emancipate, as Harley herself said in the film. Another hero who was tired of letting people walk over her was Black Canary who originally worked for the film’s main villain Black Mask as a singer and then a driver....

In a new report primarily focused on the redesigned iPad Pro, Bloomberg also sheds new light on what to expect from the iPad mini.

Activism sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis has spread across all 50 US states. Apple Stores have been swept up in the momentum, looted and vandalized as some protests turned to violence. Now, some peaceful protestors are reimagining the boarded up windows of Apple Stores as canvases for a positive message. Between the evenings of May 27 and June 1, more than a dozen Apple Stores across the US were looted or significantly damaged as violent opportunists co-opted Black Lives Matter protests....
