Marvel fans are gearing up for one of the most exciting dates in their 2017 calendar, as Netflix unveil The Defenders this summer. For the first time, the streaming service and Marvel Entertainment will bring together Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) in their own mini-series, with the four heroes teaming up to face their biggest threat yet. Whilst not too much has been revealed about the story of The Defenders, more information is now beginning to trickle out to fans, and recently Charlie Cox has opened up some more about his own dealings with bringing his Daredevil character into a whole new series....

In the original Charmed, no one was as unlucky in love as Phoebe Halliwell (Alyssa Milano). Phoebe was the youngest child of Patty Halliwell (Finola Hughes) and Victor Bennett (James Reed), and the middle sister of the Charmed Ones. She also worked as a columnist for “The Bay Mirror,” where she provided her readership with relationship advice. This was only possible due to her own unfortunate love life. While Phoebe believed she had found her Mr....

It might be two months before the rumored launch date of the iPhone 6, with a working phone yet to be sighted and no clue as to the retail price, but that isn’t stopping sellers taking pre-orders, reports the WSJ. One seller even went as far as putting together a laughable mockup of an Apple webpage for the iPhone 6 (the full page can be seen below). More than thirty sellers on Alibaba’s Taobao marketplace said they can help purchase the upcoming new iPhone 6s from the U....

Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS for Carnival Row Season 1 In Carnival Row’s season 1 finale, “The Gloaming”, the truth that Philo is half-Faery is discovered. Since Philo is a Critch, which is what humans derisively call magical beings, he’s arrested by the Constabulary because it’s illegal for a Critch to pose as a human. Philo then comes face-to-face with his father, Chancellor Absalom Breakspear (Jared Harris), who accuses him of being the Darkasher killer who murdered his own mother, Aisling Querelle (Erika Starkova), a Pix singer who fell into destitution....

Once upon a time, Andrew Lloyd Webber created a musical called Cats, which is actually based on a collection of poetry by T. S. Eliot titled Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. And in 2019, this popular story came to the big screen. It was directed by Tom Hooper, who did Les Misérables, and it starred big names like Judi Dench, James Corden, Jennifer Hudson, Jason Derulo, Rebel Wilson, Idris Elba, Taylor Swift and Ian McKellen....

Chinese smartphone maker Digione is claiming Apple’s iPhone 6 and 6 Plus copy the design of its own smartphone line. Macworld reports that the company published a letter online yesterday that was originally sent to Apple back in September in order to make them aware that the latest iPhones might infringe on a patent it was granted in July by China’s State Intellectual Property Office. Digione’s device is sold under its 100+ brand in China as a low-end device (around $130 US), sports a 5....

What is comedian Chelsea Handler’s estimated net worth? One of Chelsea Handler’s first breakout roles was on hidden camera series Girls Behaving Badly, which debuted in 2002 and featured female comedians playing pranks on unsuspecting members of the public. The show lasted four seasons and once it ended she went on to star in her own, short-lived sketch comedy series The Chelsea Handler Show for the E! Network. In 2007 she launched late-night chat show Chelsea Lately, where she performed an opening monologue before discussing various pop culture topics with a round panel of guests, which included the likes of Whitney Cummings, Kevin Hart (Ride Along) and Mary Lynn Rajskub....

Chris Pine has had a long and successful film career that just keeps getting stronger. Though he first broke into feature-length productions in 2004 when he starred across Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, he’s taken on roles in many dramas, comedies, musicals, and sci-fi adventures since. Because of his versatility (and because we’re excited to see him in the Wonder Woman sequel this summer), we thought it was time to look at Pine’s best films to date....

These new features are said to be coming in the coming weeks. But until they’re actually rolled out, and even after they do, here’s a look at a couple of troubleshooting tips you can use that you might be aware of – rebooting or resetting your Chromecast to factory settings. Reboot Chromecast from App The other day I was having problems connecting to my Chromecast using my favorite app for streaming local videos to it, Videostream Premium, as well as other apps from my Nexus 7....

“It starts with the product experience – that was the No. 1 thing,” Cort told ZDNet at the recent SaaStr conference. “The founders were just obsessed with it; they’d release new features every single week for a long time, and that was what allowed us to get traction in a very busy marketplace in a short amount of time.” The San Diego-based company makes a customizable workplace productivity platform that serves all departments across an organization, and a lot of people apparently are intrigued....

I normally decline power-bank reviews on the grounds that, for the most part, when you’ve seen one, you’ve seen ’em all. The Zendure SuperTank Pro was an exception thanks to its ability to double the battery-life of a MacBook Pro, while the Chargeasap Flash 2 (just Flash from now on) is a rather neat travel solution more geared to iPhones, iPads, and – unusually – the Apple Watch. That’s not to say that the Flash can’t power MacBooks too: it definitely can....

Cryptocurrency has long been a popular target for organised cyber criminals, whether they’re stealing it outright from cryptocurrency exchanges, or demanding it as an extortion payment in ransomware attacks. But the growing value of cryptocurrency means it has quickly become a key target for cyber criminals and they’re increasingly launching attacks that aim to steal cryptocurrency from the wallets of individual users. SEE: A winning strategy for cybersecurity (ZDNet special report) Research by Chainalysis warns that cryptocurrency users are increasingly under threat from malware including information stealers, clippers – which allow attackers to replace text the user has copied, redirecting cryptocurrency to their own wallets – and trojans, all of which can be purchased for what’s described as “relatively little money” on cyber-criminal forums....

ChinaFile has pieced together an interactive map (full-screen) of Apple’s world-wide product component suppliers (via PED/Fortune). The map, which is based on Apple’s publicly available suppliers list, features points for each individual supplier. It is interesting to see the number of suppliers per region with complete context. Unsurprisingly, you will find the biggest numbers in Asia, the continent in which most of Apple’s mass production occurs. Apple CEO Tim Cook previously announced that Apple will begin producing one of its existing Mac lines in the United States....

Analysts say that the official launch of the iPhone on China Mobile could lead to subsidy wars as Chinese carriers compete to attract buyers. The predictions, quoted by Business Insider, follow price cuts by rival carriers China Unicom and China Telecom as China Mobile reports 1.2 million pre-orders. China Mobile is currently offering the iPhone 5s free with a 24-month contract costing the equivalent of $98 a month. A 30-month contract on China Unicom costs $63 a month....

Joining this Chinese retailer is yet another retailer from the same nation, which even tells the exact price that the Cupertino will charge for its new iPhones. If the numbers are to be believed, the entry level 4.7-inch iPhone will set you back by 5288 Yuan ($860), whereas, the 32GB is priced at around $999, while the 64GB variant costs roughly $1120. It’s probably worth noting that the China Mobile’s page doesn’t actually say iPhone 6 anywhere, but it does mention 4G and alongside an Apple....

Back in May of last year, Google started enforcing a policy that requires Chrome extensions be hosted on its Chrome Web Store, but only on Windows. The goal was to prevent malware hidden in extensions installable from outside its store, and it even started disabling extensions already installed on users’ systems that weren’t hosted on the Chrome Web Store. Now, Google says it will bring that requirement to Mac Chrome users over the coming months, as well as the Chrome developer channel for Windows that wasn’t previously enforcing the policy:...

The host of The Bachelor, Chris Harrison thinks former The Bachelorette contestant, Jed Wyatt could find redemption after all. Chris thinks that the musical spinoff The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart could be the perfect shot for this scorned Nashville based musician to make his reality TV comeback. Wyatt was a frontrunner on last season of The Bachelorette where he fought for Brown’s heart and the two fell in love in front of Bachelor Nation....

Chris Pratt confirms that James Gunn’s script will be used for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. This is despite the fact that the filmmaker was booted out of his Marvel Studios job last year when his old offensive tweets were unearthed. The firing of Gunn came quickly from Disney, convincing a lot of people that it was a knee-jerk reaction from the company and believing that the director should be reinstated, especially since he’s repeatedly addressed and apologized for his past social media posts....

Google today updated its Chrome browser for iPhone and iPad with support for iOS 8’s new third-party App Extensions feature. That means that Chrome’s sharing menu will now show additional sharing options from apps you have installed supporting the new App Extensions feature. We previously put together a roundup of some of the best apps offering App Extensions when iOS 8 launched. Google says the update, version 37.0.2062.60, also includes iOS 8 compatibility, stability improvements, and bug fixes....

The bad news is that yes, Carrier IQ is running on iPhones right now, as we speak. Carrier IQ, you’ll recall is the rootkit that Carriers put on many of their phones to monitor customer usage. As a security researcher found out, Carrier IQ monitors keystrokes and sends that back to its own servers. On Apple’s devices, it appears to have been cut off from such activities. Developer chpwn breaks it down:...
