After launching a pilot program for digital contact tracing last month, the state of California has made contract tracing available today, December 10. That’s about half a year after Apple/Google made the feature available on iPhone and Android. But better late than never as the support will allow the almost 40 million people living in California to stay safer amid the pandemic. We’ve been keeping a detailed and updated list of all the U....

The massively popular Call of Duty franchise has been around for a long while, and the series has reached lifetime sales that are only topped two of gaming’s other timeless juggernauts. Although it remains in the shadow of those game franchises, Call of Duty’s in incredibly good company. Call of Duty’s success is made even more impressive when considering the fact that the franchise is relatively “new” in the grand scheme of things, with the original game having released in 2003....

To the new generation, Marvel might seem like the big dog of the comic book movie genre, but those of us a little older will remember it was DC who ruled the scene until the mid-2000s. There were dozens of projects in line to be produced from this universe, but ultimately a lot of them were scrapped. Now that the cinematic landscape is all things superhero, it’s interesting to go back and see the films from the DC Universe that might have been common knowledge....

When it comes to inspiring others, few superheroes can make better speeches than Captain America. Whether he’s rallying an army or giving a pep talk to one friend in need, Captain America’s best punches can rarely match the impact of his words. Given that the Super Soldier Serum enhanced all of Steve Rogers’ natural abilities, it’s possible it made this patriotic kid from Brooklyn a super statesman as well as a super soldier....

Captain Marvel 2 is finally on its way towards a 2022 release date, but the venture will go ahead without the directors of the first film. After Captain Marvel grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, a sequel was guaranteed despite not being included in the Phase 4 lineup presented at San Diego Comic-Con. Now, though, there’s plenty of new buzz and concrete information to discuss. Marvel’s first solo female-led superhero movie was helmed by the directorial duo of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck....

Update: Apple confirmed the security issue in a statement provided to iMore. Apple has also revoked the certificate to prevent the apps from being installed on new devices. The New York Times reports that a security firm called Palo Alto Networks has uncovered a new form of Apple-focused malware that is capable of infecting non-jailbroken iOS devices. Typically when such software pops up, as it does from time to time, one of the key factors that allows the malicious code to run on iOS is whether the device is jailbroken....

Binging the third season of Stranger Things left fans with all the feels and lots of unanswered questions. Some people found themselves ruining their Fourth of July weekend with that finale, which kicked everyone in the gut before leaving them just a ray of home a few moments later. While the Duffer Brothers and Netflix have always ended Stranger Things with an ominous preview of what’s to come, they certainly haven’t left fans dangling with a cliffhanger like this one....

Birds of Prey has been in the works since the Suicide Squad premiered back in 2016. Fans were impressed with Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and of course, DC saw an opportunity. The film will be released in February on the 7th this year and fans are anticipating how much they will truly enjoy this female empowerment movie. Harley has a new crew, she’s dumped her toxic man and 2020 is going to be her year....

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), uses footage from 2016’s Suicide Squad, according to the film’s director, Cathy Yan. The scene that uses the footage is featured in the second trailer Warner Bros released for the movie. In a few shots at the beginning of the trailer, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) crashes a gas truck (or similar) into the ACE Chemical Plant. The resulting explosion is nothing short of epic, and Harley walks away unharmed....

Killmonger can return in Black Panther 2 without ruining the end of the original Black Panther. With T’Challa and the rest of Wakanda back from the dead after Avengers: Endgame, all eyes are on where the Black Panther sequel will take the franchise. Black Panther was as much a cultural event as a superhero blockbuster, and it’s going to be a real challenge to repeat that. At the moment, it looks as though Marvel’s strategy is to ensure all the key players from the first film are involved in the sequel....

Blade Runner 2049 is one of the highly anticipated films of 2017 and for good reason. It may be a sequel coming in over 30 years after the original Ridley Scott-directed classic, but a lot of great talent is involved with this film, including Scott as an executive producer. As teased in the announcement trailer, the upcoming film from director Denis Villenueve (Arrival, Sicario) stars Ryan Gosling as an L.A. police officer in the process of uncovering a mystery, which leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, played by a returning Harrison Ford....

Like Naruto before it, Boruto has become a big hit among anime fans. One of the biggest reasons for that is it’s vibrant cast of characters. This includes the unique, mysterious son of Orochimaru, Mitsuki. As no one wants to romantically entangle themselves with the snake Sannin, his son was created as a clone. Except, Mitsuki isn’t exactly a full clone. Orochimaru experimented, spliced, and scrambled his genetics to make them as perfect as possible....
