In a lengthy post, Technobuffalo goes behind the scenes of the iPhone Verizon launch earlier this year. Supposedly, Verizon engineers had been working with it for six months – which put it at about the time that AT&T iPhone was released. Interestingly, Steve Jobs said at the Antennagate press conference, that Apple was testing both Verizon and AT&T towers on campus. Some notables from the story: And… A little bit like LOST?...

China has today shared that it will be offering a temporary tax exemption for foreign companies. This news comes a week after the US tax overhaul passed through Congress. The New York Times reports that China announced the new tax break for foreign companies, but with limited details. The exemption will be retroactive from January 1, 2017. The government also shared the main caveat. To receive the tax exemption for earnings, businesses must reinvest the money into an approved sector such as technology, railways, agriculture, and mining....

In a new report, the ReasonLabs research team says it found Monero miners attached to Russian torrent files of the new film, which brought in more than $750 million worldwide since it debuted last week. The miner adds exclusions to Windows Defender, creates persistence, and spawns a watchdog process to maintain its activity, according to ReasonLabs. “The malware is not signed and written in .net, and as of this date, it is not present in Virus Total....

Despite having the risqué premise of a man falling in love with a prostitute, Pretty Woman became a runaway box office hit in 1990 and is easily one of the most beloved romantic comedies ever made. Richard Gere and Julia Roberts emerged as a popular on-screen pairing, and went on to reunite in subsequent projects. Pretty Woman had a long road from a darkly themed script about the class divide in Los Angeles to a mainstream Hollywood romcom, under the close guidance of director Garry Marshall and his cast and crew....

When the word ‘Bollywood’ is uttered, the first thing that usually comes to mind for Americans is images of Indian people doing crazy dance moves and singing. But actually, Bollywood is an entire film industry based in India that produces the most amount of films per year in the world. As such, there are multiple genres of film produced including horror. While some borrow ideas and elements from horror films in the West, others are distinctly rooted in Indian culture....

Born in China, also known as Shēng zài zhōngguó, is an American-Chinese collaborative documentary film that follows the path of a snow leopard and her cubs, a young golden snub-nosed monkey, a panda and her daughter, and a herd of chiru. The footage collected shows us a different side to China that Western audiences have never been able to see, especially with the footage of the elusive snow leopard. This documentary will take audiences through emotional journeys as they watch each animal’s familial story develop....

Since it’s almost inevitable that Thanos will be killed in Avengers: Endgame, Brie Larson has offered her opinion on how Captain Marvel could pull it off. There has plenty of speculation as to how the Avengers will take down the Mad Titan - including a theory involving Ant-Man entering his butt and blowing him up from the inside out - and Larson definitely has an intriguing approach. By the end of Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers (Larson) easily earns a spot among Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (even though she’s spent decades away from Earth)....

Bungie may still have big plans in place for Destiny, but the studio is hoping to spread its wings with new gaming franchises in the years to come. It’s no secret that Bungie has had its hands full with several major moves in recent months. The biggest changeup was the split from Activision earlier this year in order to pursue self-publishing initiatives. Fortunately for Bungie, the developer retained the Destiny property in that divorce....

While early word on Too Old To Die Young is somewhat mixed, with criticism aimed the show’s high level of violence, Refn has always been somewhat polarizing as a filmmaker - which is something he seems to court. Outside of Drive most of his work like The Neon Demon is aimed at a more niche audience. He’s also turned down opportunities for bigger projects like A Good Day To Die Hard and Spectre to focus on the material that interests him....

Captain Marvel’s Brie Larson casually opened up about wanting to be a Jedi, and Star Wars personally responded to her. Both existing under the Disney umbrella - though in two very different cinematic universes - both Captain Marvel and Star Wars: Episode IX are releasing this year, so some playful cross-promotion is to be expected. Both Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm are releasing breakthrough films in 2019. For Marvel Studios, Captain Marvel is a major game-changer, being the first female-led standalone film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

A new featurette for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword details star Charlie Hunnam’s intense work days on set. Up until this point, the marketing and trailers for director Guy Ritchie’s reboot have felt scattered and almost bizarre at points. Part of that is because of the unique combination that Ritchie is bringing to this new take on the story of King Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) and his sword, Excalibur, by mixing his typical, highly-edited style with sweeping action shots and CGI visuals, but part of that is also because of the film’s strange tonal balance....

Archie Comics introduced the comic book world to Sabrina all the way back in 1971 in a series called Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She also got her own sitcom with the same title in 1996....
