They say that while a virus isn’t impossible, it is extremely unlikely – but there are four other ways the security of your smart home can be compromised, and we outline some simple steps you can take to reduce the risks …...

Some social media apps notify people when some of their contacts join the app, primarily due to the person’s app settings. For example, Snapchat sometimes sends you a notification to become friends with somebody just joining Snapchat and is supposedly on your contacts list. This is also a setting from the end of a new person joining and is the only time you see or get notified someone just joined Snapchat....

After spending all of Captain Marvel in 1995, the post-credits scene brings Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) to the present day so she can meet the Avengers - but is the scene actually from Avengers: Endgame?

Like it did for SXSW, Tribeca Film Festival, and the Olympic Games, event app platform Eventbase will be in charge of rolling out iBeacons at the upcoming Cannes Lions 2014 Festival that will provide attendees with unique features via the event’s official iOS app. This time around, rather than speeding up check-ins or interactive audience features, the company is allowing attendees to network with an “Around Me” feature in the event’s app that displays nearby attendees using iBeacons....

As one of the newest heroes in the MCU, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has already made a considerable impression. She sadly hasn’t gotten much screentime with the other heroes of the universe, but from her solo movie and her brief appearance in Avengers: Endgame, she has managed to make a surprising number of friends and there are guaranteed to be more in the upcoming sequel The Marvels. In some cases, these relationships are just beginning to form and hint at a connection shared....

It appears that the iPhone 7 is going to eliminate the 3.5mm headphone jack but headphone manufacturers aren’t waiting for Apple to make an announcement before hitting the market with some great solutions to this so-called “problem.” I’ve been living with the new $349 Bose Quiet Comfort 35s for the past week and not only are they amazing, but I can honestly say they’ve changed my life.

Over the weekend we gave you an exclusive look at some of the big new features coming to iOS 11 and the soon-to-be-announced iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X. One of the highlights is a novelty feature for iMessage called Animoji, which will allow users to send their friends 3D emoji animated by actual facial expressions.

A new social app called Polygram has already implemented its own version of facial reactions, and you can run it on your iPhone today....

The titular characters from Captain Marvel and Kim Possible have teamed up in a new TV spot on the Disney Channel. Though the two characters are from two completely different fictional universes, the heroes have joined forces to promote their new movies. Once Disney acquired Marvel, all of the heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe became part of the House of Mouse. This has come in handy when it comes to cross-platform (and cross-franchise) promotions, especially when it comes to promoting two iconic female heroes....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare games necessarily glorify violence. They are about war, and - to borrow a phrase from another popular video game series - “War never changes.” It’s violent. It’s brutal. And, of course, people die and suffer horribly. So what’s the deal with Modern Warfare’s White Phosphorus controversy? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare brings back “Killstreaks,” which reward you for killing set numbers of enemies without taking The Big Sleep yourself....

Of all the many confusing elements that appear in Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, by far one of the most perplexing is the film’s comedic cops. The Halloween franchise may currently be riding high, but the late ’80s and early ‘90s marked the absolute lowest point for the slasher franchise. Halloween 5 is set firmly within the series’ “Cult of Thorn” trilogy and with Laurie Strode now a distant memory the films really go for broke....

So far, the biggest search engine is Google. Google has become synonymous with the Internet. Chrome, the most popular web browser, uses Google as the default search, and most other search engines do the same. It is no secret that Google and other search engines rely on showing ads to their users. When a user performs a query in the search engine, the search engine collects the user’s private information such as specific location, device type, browser history, etc....

Breaking Bad season 1 was much shorter than the other four seasons within the AMC series. The debut season consisted of just seven episodes that aired in the first few months of 2008.

Breaking Bad’s first season focused on Walter White’s (Bryan Cranston) transition from depressed high school science teacher to underground meth cook....

California is now presenting a new bill that, if passed into law, would stop Apple from selling iPhones on its home turf, via ZDNet. The bill requires smartphone manufacturers to sell devices that have backdoors to allow them to be decrypted. Naturally, this affects iPhones which use high-strength security methods and make it practically impossible for anyone including Apple to gain access without the passcode. If this proposed bill sounds familiar, there’s a reason for that....
