The James Bond film franchise has been around since 1962, with the most recent addition set for release this year with No Time To Die. Due to the fact that the franchise has been running for so long, several elements of the films, particularly the earlier in the series, have become outdated, whether it be the cliches, the technology, or even the villains and their plots. However, one particularly important aspect of the James Bond franchise that ought to be discussed is its problematic moments....

While the Snyder Cut of Justice League has been treated as somewhat of a conspiracy by some over the past 2 years, Zack Snyder’s recent confirmation means that everyone must now accept that the alternate version exists. 2017’s Justice League is roundly thought of as a disappointment, both by Warner Bros. who were expecting to make more money from the DCEU superhero team-up movie, and by fans who were expecting to be more entertained by the DCEU superhero team-up movie....

Karl Urban has vocalized his support for a Quentin Tarantino directed Star Trek movie. Previously, Urban played Leonard “Bones” McCoy in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek franchise, which had its fourth installment recently shelved for a number of reasons. One of the biggest being that its predecessor, Star Trek Beyond, did poorly at the box office despite receiving rave reviews from both critics and fans. Many fans also considered it to be the best entry of the rebooted series, which was later dubbed the Kelvin Timeline....

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqr7a0ekmS8&w=640&h=505] FaceTime has long been seen as the iPad’s main glaring omission, and now you can partially solve this with a hack courtesy of “Intell.” The several step process is noted to be risky, but the end result (video above) is very cool and seems to work as advertised. The hack installs the iPod touch 4 FaceTime application on the iPad, with a full-screen, optimized user interface. This interface looks very similar to that of the FaceTime application on the iPod touch, but does leverage iPad-specific user interface elements, like the silver navigation bar at the top....

Ben Miller has shared images of a new iPhone 8 dummy unit with the rumored copper/bronze/gold color while Benjamin Geskin has shared a cleaner looking render of the same color option. Miller also compares the iPhone 8 dummy unit to the 5....

The latest iPhone 9/SE 2 renders from Onleaks again show something extremely close to the iPhone 8 design, with just two visual changes. This time, we’re seeing iPhone 9 video renders rather than just static images. Instead of a glossy glass back, there is a frosted glass one, like the iPhone 11 Pro finish. The Apple logo is also vertically centred as per all three iPhone 11 models… In all other respects, the renders show something identical in form factor to the iPhone 8, matching reports that the new entry-level iPhone will essentially be an iPhone 8 with A13 chip — and without 3D Touch, as Apple has now abandoned this tech in favor of a long press....

Yesterday’s report that we’ll see an iPhone punch-hole display next year raised quite a few eyebrows. Three main objections have been voiced. First, that a punch-hole is uglier and more distracting than a notch… From reader comments, for example: Personally, I think the aesthetic point isn’t really an issue. The vast amount of time, a punch-hole would be as invisible as the notch: just buried in the black area at the top of the screen....

A local news report last night from Denver’s 9News reveals a scheme setup at Apple stores in Colorado that saw iPhone traffickers convincing people in need of quick cash to sign contracts and hand-over subsidized iPhones. The traffickers would turn around and sell the unlocked iPhones for full retail, off-contract prices, but in exchange their unknowing accomplice is stuck with the monthly payments or faces ruined credit. The report also claims that Apple store employees appeared to be in on the scheme....

Iron Man 3’s release in China featured the addition of four minutes of extra footage. At times, Hollywood and China have seemed to be opponents rather than allies, but it’s now generally accepted that the Chinese market is becoming increasingly important to the American film industry. As such, studios have even changed movies for Chinese audiences, even though China’s box office isn’t as important as people think. In the case of Shane Black’s Iron Man 3, Marvel Studios’ efforts proved to be a tremendous success....

Here’s some breaking news from the AP: Owners of the iPhone will be able to break electronic locks on their devices in order to download applications that have not been approved by Apple.

Jersey Shore’s The Situation isn’t taking post-prison life for granted. The MTV star wants to make sure he lives every day to its fullest and spend all the quality time he possibly can with his loved ones. In 2014, Mike Sorrentino was indicted after he failed to pay taxes on 8.9 million dollars of income between the years of 2010 and 2012. In April of 2017, Sorrentino was additionally charged by the Department of Justice, and both The Situation and his brother plead guilty and were told they could face a maximum of 5 years behind bars....

One case, however, as reported by Law360, has been thrown out by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Maureen A.

Raylan Givens may be the star of the neo-Western series Justified, but Boyd Crowder, the show’s villain, certainly steals more than a few scenes. The show follows Raylan, a U.S. Marshal, who returns to his hometown of Kentucky to take on the local criminal element. Boyd, a man Raylan used to work with, proves to be his main target. Though a relatively small-time criminal, Boyd has big ambitions and won’t let too many people stand in his way....

Put the iPhone 6s next to its predecessor, and I’d challenge anyone to tell them apart. You start to notice the difference as soon as you put your thumb on the Touch ID sensor. Apple says that the new sensor is faster, and I was surprised to find that the difference – while small – is definitely noticeable. I had to use both a number of times to persuade myself that it wasn’t just a placebo effect, but I did end up convinced....
