Following runs of negative online reviews for Captain Marvel, directors Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) and Paul Feig (Ghostbusters) shared their thoughts. Johnson and Feig’s entries into their respective franchises both received extensive backlash, due in significant part to female characters taking on most or many of the lead roles that had been predominantly filled by men in previous installments. While their films were in theaters, detractors took to social media to vehemently voice their opposition to the directors, stars, and studios....

Apple opened the door to new extensibility features on iOS with extensions and Notification Center widgets in iOS 8, but mixing app launchers with the swipe down Today view was quickly disallowed by the App Store as we saw around this time last year. That policy has since changed and we’ve seen developers able to build better widgets like Workflow’s recent update. Launch Center Pro has been working on its own Today widget, which puts actions like opening the Instagram camera or messaging a specific contact a swipe down away from anywhere directly in Notification Center....

In the latest TF Securities report from Ming-Chi Kuo, the Apple analyst estimates the cost of adding 5G to this year’s iPhone. Kuo believes it will cost Apple about $75 per unit for sub-6GHz 5G support, and up to $125 for millimeter wave 5G. Kuo does not expect Apple to pass on all of the cost increases to the consumer sale price of the iPhone 12. That means Apple is looking to offset 5G component costs by looking for cost savings elsewhere in the phone....

The cool ARKit demo apps keep coming. The latest one, from a developer specializing in augmented reality apps for the beauty industry, shows how trying on lipstick could become a whole lot easier.

From the showcase, in addition to the Kirin 980 SoC, we were able to see other gadgets, such as a smart speaker, the Huawei AI Cube, and a Huawei Locator.

During this period of the year, we always had the opportunity to ramble around one of the biggest technology fairs in the world....

When considering the greatest catchphrases in comic book history, there are some obvious contenders. “Hulk Smash” shouted before destruction, “My Spidey senses are tingling” before a Spider-villain strikes, and Batman’s ever-shortening motto, now simply: “I am Batman.” But in the short time since DC’s Rebirth, one line from the comedic villain Kite Man has unpredictably turned into DC’s best catchphrase. Is it deserved? Hell yeah. Just a few years ago, the average Batman fans wouldn’t even know who Kite Man actually is....

The purported increase in RAM on the updated tablet would double that of the current generation iPad Air (and iPhone 6 for that matter) and make more more powerful multitasking on the device....

I’m not surprised why they have retained the name “Kindle” and why it is priced below $200. Update: Kindle Fire is no iPad Killer, but a threat for Low cost tablets As tech writer Nimish Dubey says, Kindle Fire would represent a bigger threat to the budget tab market than the iPad....

Mike Judge’s Texas-based cartoon King of the Hill aired on Fox from 1997 to 2010. The series followed the everyday trials and tribulations of the Hill family, as well as their friends, families, and neighbors. Judge wanted the show to be a homage to the Texas town he spent time in as a youth. One of the most memorable characters on the show is Hank’s next-door neighbor, Dale Gribble, a self-employed exterminator who spends most of his life in his basement investigating conspiracy theories and preparing for the end times....
