The Economic Times of India, Penn Olson, Ifeng.com, DigiCha and China.com.cn are all reporting that Chinese authorities in Shijiazhuang are confiscating iPads because of an ongoing Proview trademark litigation. Proview, you will recall, is suing Apple over its I-PAD trademark and hopes to receive up to $1.5 billion for the name. As Penn Olson pointed out, the confiscations are in one city and so far just on third-party retailers. However, the action forced other retailers to take iPads off the shelves, though they can still be purchased if asked for....
Gail Simone’s chilling comic seris Clean Room is a must-read for horror fans. Body horror is a very specific subgenre that focuses on the human body being shaped or mutated in terrifying ways. The work of David Cronenberg often comes to mind when the term is brought up, with much of early films like Shivers, Rabid, and Videodrome all featuring sequences designed to make viewers squirm. The Fly from 1986 remains his most popular work, which features Jeff Goldblum’s scientist slowly morphing into a hybrid creature after his DNA is accidentally fused with a fly during an experiment....
Child’s Play killer doll Chucky began his fictional life as a human serial killer named Charles Lee Ray, and that moniker has a special significance. While the 2019 Child’s Play remake has its fans, and Mark Hamill did an admirable job trying to make Chucky his own, one aspect that proved much less dramatically intriguing is Chucky’s origin. In the remake, Chucky is the result of a rogue programmer at a Vietnamese factory that dies by suicide not long after....
Stephen King’s Children of the Corn story and its movie adaptations feature the villain He Who Walks Behind the Rows, a deity with a devoted cult. Children of the Corn is a 10-movie franchise, a fact that’s honestly kind of puzzling. Just about every entry into the series is bad, but for whatever reason, they just keep arriving every few years. Clearly, someone is watching them, and the series has a following of devoted fans, despite how boring a franchise it appears to be on the surface....
A Taiwanese Apple supplier has warned that the global chip shortage will worsen without a massive increase in COVID-19 vaccinations on the island. The comment was made as the world’s leading chip testing company was forced to suspend production following a COVID-19 outbreak … Taiwan was initially hardly touched by the pandemic, thanks to tight travel restrictions and a world-beating contact-tracing system. However, infections are now rising exponentially in the country....
The classic 1952 Western High Noon, which starred Gary Cooper as a sheriff standing alone against a group of gunmen, is getting a remake. Produced by Stanley Kramer and directed by Fred Zinnemann, High Noon garnered seven Academy Award nominations including Best Picture. The movie would lose out to Cecil B. DeMille’s The Greatest Show On Earth in the Best Picture race (a result many still consider a travesty), but would ultimately take home four awards including Best Actor for Cooper....
The durable Child’s Play franchise is quite unusual, and that is much of its appeal. Besides, of course, the infectious voice acting of one Brad Dourif, also known for hits like Lord of the Rings. Chucky’s original outing subverts expectations of the slasher genre, essentially parodying it, tongue in cheek. Yet, it also fully commits to familiar slasher tropes and legitimate horror, cementing Chucky’s position as an icon himself. The series eventually evolved, so to speak, into predominantly slapstick and juvenile humor....
Marvel Cinematic Universe star Chris Evans believes a Black Widow movie annoucement is likely to happen. Scarlett Johansson has had a major role in the MCU for years as Black Widow, but has yet to see a solo movie, and Evans is hoping that will change soon. Johansson first debuted in Iron Man 2 but has since brought Widow back for four more appearances. Captain America: The Winter Soldier featured her most important role to date, though she was also a major contributor in Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Age of Ultron....
Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk takes the cover of the latest issue of Total Film magazine, along with a special celebration of the director’s filmography so far.

The upcoming film is a re-telling of the famous battle of World War II, and will star Tom Hardy, Harry Styles and James D’Arcy among others....

Star of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim Kardashian has once again caused the internet to be divided. The Skims founder looks as though she got confused this Christmas when she used thick velour fabric to wrap her presents instead of wrapping paper. Since Keeping Up with the Kardashians aired in 2007, Kim was shot into stardom and has been entertaining the reality TV audiences ever since. The beauty mogul married rapper Kanye West in 2014....
Google today updated the Chromecast app for iPhone and iPad users adding a feature announced earlier this year at Google I/O called Backdrop. When the Chromecast HDMI streaming stick isn’t playing content like Netflix or Pandora Radio through your TV, it already displays the current time and featured photos as a screen saver, but now Chromecast users can display additional content like weather conditions and news headlines on Chromecast-connected TVs. Chromecast also now supports using your own photos from Google+ albums as the backdrop....

Now, the Chief Official White House Photographer has shared a collection of images that he took throughout 2015 with his iPhone. In a post on Medium, Pete Souza shared that throughout the year he took a handful of images around The White House with his iPhone as opposed to his DSLR....

The initiative was made possible by bipartisan support … Background Despite competition, the US is one of the most expensive countries in the world when it comes to broadband. It is, for example, almost twice as expensive as the UK on a like-for-like package....
Marvel’s collaboration comic with Northrop Grumman may have been canceled, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t get a hint as to what it could have been, as the first issue of the aborted series has recently emerged online. Last month, Marvel made headlines after they teased working with Northrop Grumman - an American global aerospace and defense technology company and one of the largest defense contractors in the world. Fans were not exactly thrilled with the collaboration and they did not hold back on making their opinions heard on social media....
Mark Hamill is taking another step into the horror genre by voicing Chucky in the upcoming remake of Child’s Play, but it wasn’t an easy task. Three decades after director Tom Holland’s slasher film Child’s Play arrived to terrorize generations – and six sequels later – comes a new version with Lars Klevberg in charge of directing. Child’s Play follows the same basic plot of the original, in which a mother (Aubrey Plaza) gives her son, Andy (Gabriel Bateman) a toy doll for his birthday, unaware of the evil inside of it....
Apple A-series and M1 chipmaker TSMC has announced dramatic investment plans to help address the global chip shortage.
