Back in 2020, the Brazilian Supreme Court decided to accept the appeal of local company IGB Eletrônica (also known as Gradiente) against Apple regarding the iPhone trademark in Brazil. However, it seems that things aren’t going to end well for Gradiente as Brazil’s Prosecutor General has now said that the iPhone trademark belongs to Apple and not to the Brazilian company. As reported by Tilt (via MacMagazine), Brazilian Prosecutor General Augusto Aras gave his assent to Apple last Friday....
[Update: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare gets trademarks and official teaser trailer!] The Call of Duty franchise has become such a global phenomenon and on an annual basis has the capacity to bring in more money than most Hollywood blockbusters do at the box office. Early installments in the series focused on gameplay based on events during World War II but eventually it was brought to near present day and the series has never looked back since....
Warning: potential SPOILERS for Captain Marvel The new Captain Marvel trailer has showcased even more of Carol Danvers’ time as a Kree super soldier, but fans may not realize that her Starforce codename has also been revealed. And it sure isn’t ‘Captain Marvel.’ The trailer has proven that the Captain Marvel movie won’t adapt the heroine’s comic origin story, and will be making some serious departures. Weaving Kree mind-wiping and genetic engineering into memories of Earth and Carol’s life before Starforce, one of the trailer’s smallest moments may have also shown how Carol Danvers– sorry, just Vers gets her name as a Kree warrior hero....
WARNING: This post contains SPOILERS for Carmen Sandiego season 1. Netflix’s Carmen Sandiego season 2 is certainly happening, but when will the TV show reboot return and what can fans expect to see when it does? Originally starting out as an educational video game released in the 80s, Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? meant to teach kids about history and geography. The game was popular enough to launch a series of sequels, as well as spinoffs in other media, including the 90s game show as well as the series Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?...
Christian Bale reveals that Heath Ledger insisted that he really be hit during The Dark Knight’s famous interrogation room scene. This is unlikely to surprise anyone familiar with Ledger’s career, as the late actor was well-known for being completely committed to the characters he played. Some would even argue that Ledger was a little too concerned with authentically portraying even the darkest of roles, but it can’t be argued that the final product of his method acting wasn’t usually good....
The Karate Kid sequel series Cobra Kai premiered on YouTube Red this week and many have likely already binged the entire 10-episode first season. Those who have already, or are currently making their way through the first season were introduced to a Johnny Lawrence who is far removed from the young man he was in the 1984 film. It’s no spoiler to say that Johnny’s a little down and out, and is in need of a pick-me-up — the exact opposite of a crane kick to the face, if you will....
It’s been twenty years since Curb Your Enthusiasm landed on HBO as one of the most unparalleled comedies ever made. In that time, it has remained a singular comedic experience that has not only gone unmatched, but no one has even tried to touch it. Granted, no one could come close to the genius of Larry David. But Larry is not the only great aspect of Curb. When the show was potentially weakening a bit from repetitive storylines, a new character was introduced to the show....
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’s marketing has given new definition to the word “ubiquitous,” with its logo and key art adorning everything from buses to billboards to breakfast cereals for over a year’s worth of run-up to a release that the reportedly nervous Warner Bros. is banking on to make or break its chance to launch a cohesive challenger to the box-office domination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, the hype machine prepares to hit the realm from whence the iconic superheroes of the title originally came, with a slew of variant covers set to hit various DC Comics series throughout the month of March....
The world of the Deus Ex games offers as much intellectual stimulation as it does exciting stealth-based gameplay and action. Set in a future where mankind has become obsessed with “improving” human bodies by adding machine parts, the franchise poses some challenging questions about the morals and merits of transhumanism, alongside a broader narrative about personal liberty and political machinations (with the Illuminati always somewhere in the mix). The latest entry in the series, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, will continue the story of protagonist Adam Jensen, who first appeared in the 2011 prequel game Deus Ex: Human Revolution....
SPOILERS for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode ‘All the Comforts of Home’ ahead - This week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. featured a major event we knew was coming when Ruby (Dove Cameron) cut off the arms of Yo-Yo (Natalia Cordova-Buckley), but did it happen too early? We break down if the agents changed the timeline. When Yo-Yo met the future version of herself in “Past Life”, both she and viewers learned that Yo-Yo was kept alive by Kasius (Dominic Rains) in order to offer insight into the S....

DockCase, best known for their integrated MacBook hubs and cases, has returned with a new external USB-C enclosure for SSDs. They previously launched an enclosure for M.2 drives, but their latest two enclosures are made for the larger 2.5 inch drives to accommodate SSDs or even traditional mechanical hard drives. With that out of the way – the product itself! The new 2.5″ drive enclosure follows in line with the other “smart” accessories that they have launched before....
Doctor Strange is being widely touted as the first Marvel film in a while to significantly upend the general understanding of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, mainly inasmuch as it will introduce the concept of mysticism and magic (as opposed to science-as-magic as seen in the Thor movies) to the mega-franchise. Indeed, this would mark the most significant leap forward for the MCU since Guardians of The Galaxy added entire new solar-systems worth of worlds and characters to the mix several years back, and with similar broad-reaching implications....
Superhero movies took audiences and the box office by storm in 2018, and that’s what made ranking the best superhero movies of the year a bit challenging this time around. Over the years, superhero movies have become a cornerstone in the filmmaking industry, with every major Hollywood studio developing their own comic book adaptations. It’s a trend that simply won’t die out - and why should it? Superhero movies gross billions of dollars every year, and they’ve become go-to events....
Season 3 of AMC’s Better Call Saul ended on quite the cliffhanger. However, you don’t have to wait until next season to find out the fate of Jimmy McGill’s older brother, Chuck (Michael McKean). For Chuck, the season 3 finale started off with him smugly believing that he and Howard Hamlin could “let bygones be bygones” and go back to business as usual at Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill. But he was caught completely off guard when Howard - still fuming about the lawsuit - dipped into his own personal account to buyout Chuck, severing all ties with his former friend and business partner....

Captain Marvel star Brie Larson has joined the cast of Just Mercy, a book-based courtroom drama also starring Black Panther’s Michael B. Jordan. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has come to be home to quite the impressive mix of actors, some of whom were household names prior to entering the Marvel world, and others who saw their careers skyrocket to new heights after coming aboard. In the first category sit legends like Michael Douglas, Robert Redford, and Laurence Fishburne....
Jeph Loeb has done it all. He’s a writer of all trades and a producer, but he is most known for his work in the sci-fi and comic book realms. He has worked on Smallville, Heroes, Lost, and Teen Wolf. Since 2010, Loeb has been the Executive Vice President of Marvel Television. His next project is the upcoming Freeform series Cloak & Dagger.

Coco is set to top the box office for the third weekend of its release. Disney-Pixar’s latest beat out Justice League in its first three days, becoming the third-biggest Thanksgiving release ever. The film also drew rave reviews and looks lined up for big-time success come awards season. In its third and final weekend at the top of the box office before Star Wars: The Last Jedi takes over, the acclaimed animated adventure continues to go strong amid relatively weak, limited competition in theaters....
