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....

Included in activist shareholder and investor Carl Icahn’s open letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook requesting an increased stock buyback from the company is somewhat of a prediction about when Apple might release an actual Apple TV set, not just an updated set-top box. Icahn sees fiscal year 2016 as an opportunity for Apple to enter the home television market citing an upgrade cycle due to UltraHD displays. In his open letter to Tim Cook, Carl Icahn went on to predict that the hypothetical Apple-branded television will be sold in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes averaging $1,500 in price....

According to the latest ChangeWave Research survey posted Monday, both Apple and Samsung are enjoying “explosive momentum” as 2012 begins while other handset makers are struggling to win the hearts of minds of consumers, such as Canada-based Research In Motion, which today updated its struggling BlackBerry platform with new software features, and Taiwan-based HTC, which posted a 26 percent income drop today —its first quarterly profit decline in two years....

Writer Stephen McFeely reveals early drafts Avengers: Endgame didn’t include Steve Rogers aka. Captain America (Chris Evans) seeing Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) in the past. Peggy was part of Steve Rogers’ story from the very beginning, meeting the young wannabe soldier from Brooklyn before his transformation into Captain America. When Steve awoke in the modern age at the very end of Captain America: The First Avenger, Peggy was his last link to the only life he’d known - until Captain America: The Winter Soldier revealed his best friend Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) was still alive....

Grey’s Anatomy is in its 13th season, and the show still manages to capture our imaginations with the lives and work of the surgeons in Seattle Grace. Some of them have been around so long, they feel like family. That said, for as many long-term relationships as we’ve had with characters on this show, there have been just as many one-night stands. The Grey’s cast is a revolving door of long-lost family members, visiting doctors, and new interns, but not every storyline succeeds....

[Contains SPOILERS for Captain America: Steve Rogers #12] – Life as a double agent takes a treacherous but daring nature, careful plotting, and a heck of a lot of luck. But for Captain America: Steve Rogers, his duplicitous existence wasn’t a conscious choice but rather a re-imagining by a naïve Cosmic Cube named Kobik (hoodwinked by Red Skull into believing Hydra was pretty right on). Nonetheless, Cap has truly owned his retconned history, easily becoming one of the Marvel comic universe’s most compelling new villains....

Captain Marvel’s directors thought about other ways for Nick Fury to lose his eye during the film. The mystery of Fury’s damaged eye was one many fans expected the movie to address, seeing as it takes place in the 1990s (well before audiences met the one-eyed Fury in 2008’s Iron Man). What they didn’t anticipate, though, was how, exactly, he would lose it. Yes, while many people speculated Fury would damage his eye during a big battle, he ultimately lost it when Goose - a Flerken disguised as an orange cat - got annoyed by Fury’s teasing and blinded his eye with his claws....

In the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer, Peter Parker references Captain Marvel - and it’s the first time in the MCU Carol Danvers gets her superhero name. Later this summer, the 23rd installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe hits theaters with Spider-Man: Far From Home - the third MCU movie of 2019 after Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame. A direct sequel to 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, Far From Home is actually the fifth appearance of Tom Holland as Peter Parker in the MCU....

Setup The download page is here. Always read the description to see if there’s anything the author shared that they think is important. Here, they recommend VirtualBox over VMWare, so that is what we will use this time. The machine also has DHCP enabled, rather than having a static IP address, which is good to know. We download the .ova file and import it into VirtualBox as usual. I then like to go in and ensure the network setting is set to “host-only” so that it is not exposed to anyone except my attacking machine....

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has made waves this past month. This is partially due to its incredible success in the box office, but also because of its choice to include digital actors. One of these, Grand Moff Tarkin, appears exactly as he did in the 1977 original. This is possible despite the fact that the original actor, Peter Cushing, has been dead for nearly 23 years. The other digital appearance comes in the form of the 19-year-old Princess Leia, who was once played by the recently deceased Carrie Fisher....

Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon are all offering free service in areas hit by Hurricane Harvey as they describe the efforts they are making to keep networks up and running, while AT&T issues credits.
