Captain Marvel originally included a shout-out to Jim Carrey’s 1994 comic book adaptation The Mask, according to the film’s directors. The twenty-first movie set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe overall, Captain Marvel marks the first solo female superhero adventure for the franchise, as well as the big screen debut for the Carol Danvers character. Oscar-winner Brie Larson plays Carol in the MCU and was praised for her performance ahead of the movie’s release, as was the project at large....

While most case makers missed the mark last year by producing “iPhone 5” cases for a thinner, taller, wider, and “teardrop” form-factor, these manufactures have historically provided accurate insight into Apple’s future hardware product plans. We have seen purported Apple case leaks almost yearly and 2012 is no exception. Case makers have begun to produce and ship cases for the upcoming third-generation Apple iPad. Read below for additional details and more images:...

Created by Adam Wood, Cash Cab follows Bailey posing as a taxi driver in New York City....

Captain America: Civil War, the next installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the first step in Phase 3, is more than three weeks away from its release in U.S. theaters. However it’s clear that the buzz is strong, perhaps the strongest of any film in the run of Marvel Studios films released to date. Early reviews for Civil War have been universally positive, with the Tomatometer registering at 100 percent through the first 15 reviews....

Warning: SPOILERS for Captain Marvel Captain Marvel has finally arrived in the MCU, and as fans hoped, setting her origin story more than a decade before The Avengers first teamed up has resulted in too many Easter Eggs and secret MCU connections for fans to possibly catch in one viewing. Luckily, we’re here to help. There will be much to discuss once the credits roll, from the most shocking Captain Marvel spoilers, to the ways in which the post-credits scene sets up Avengers: Endgame....

When world renowned actress and icon Carrie Fisher suddenly died of a heart attack a few years ago, the entire world found itself in shock and mourning at the loss. Carrie had a long, colorful, and entertaining career as an actress and writer in Hollywood, but she died at a relatively young 60 years old, and it felt like she had so much left to offer the world that the world now wouldn’t get to see....

More news from Apple’s AirPlay partner, BridgeCo, the company which manufactures the silicon used in AirPlay devices. AirPlay devices weren’t so apparent at CES this year, though iHome, B&W and Klipsch all showed solutions implementing the standard, which enables users to stream audio from an iOS 4 device to an enabled speaker system. BridgeCo’s VP of Sales and Marketing Jordan Watters told Engadget, “AirPlay devices could ultimately dwarf “made for iPod” audio docks by 2x to 4x....

While fans often talk about the things that we love about Deadpool, we rarely think about what he’d be like to hang out with in real life. Think about his character: he is a smart aleck, rude, disrespectful, and balks at authority. Also, he is very much insane. Despite all of his flaws, however, he manages to successfully team up with other heroes and establish incredible duos. However, in many of those cases, Deadpool manages to see the friendship before it truly exists (again, he is insane)....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is almost a decade old and comprises over a dozen films, TV shows and Netflix series that are all designed to add up into a singular cohesive world. But as the bold experiment in continuity grows older and expands to cover ever more characters and storylines, some audiences have found it increasingly challenging to stay abreast of every detail and connection; and while there are no shortage of resources to help out (like our own Chronological History of The Marvel Cinematic Universe), there’s always the potential for confusion if the audience walks into a new Marvel feature “cold” and the film doesn’t pause to catch them up....

Captain Marvel has finally hit theaters introducing fans to the latest MCU hero. Set in the 90s, before The Avengers Initiative was a thing, the movie follows the origin of Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel as she uncovers her mysterious past and discovers her true potential as a hero. As with any MCU film, Captain Marvel is packed with tons of fun Easter eggs to the overall universe. There are also plenty of small jokes, references and fun facts that will no doubt reward fans on multiple viewings....

Underground communities offer various products and services, including the bulk of stolen card data, malicious codes to compromise payment systems (i.e. PoS, ATM), money laundering services, plastic, and card-on-demand services. In these black markets, criminals can easily acquire and sell tools, services, and data for various kinds of illegal activities. The offer of criminal activities is extremely variegated, security researchers constantly monitor black markets and their evolution in order to identify noteworthy trends, and this is the purpose of the post....

Casper the Friendly Ghost was much more than the 1995 movie starring Bill Pullman and Christina Ricci. Casper started out as a character in the 1930s before reaching the comic book world in the late ’40s. After the success of the comics, Casper began popping up in cartoons and later the live-action movie fans adore today. Unlike other mystical ghosts, Casper isn’t scary or malicious. As his name describes, he’s a friendly ghost who craves human interaction....

Many Marvel fans complained that Captain America: Civil War should have happened after a lot more heroes had been established in the MCU - but in truth it couldn’t have happened any later. The film is based on a classic Marvel Comics story from 2006 that saw the entire superhero community divided over a Super Human Registration Act. There’s a sense in which the Civil War comic set the scene for the modern comic book industry....

According to writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, Avengers: Infinity War almost showed Captain America eating bloodied mashed potatoes. After the fallout between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark/Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War, the Super Soldier and his allies were forced to operate underground as the government had dubbed them vigilantes. It wasn’t until the threat of Thanos became imminent that he emerged to assemble with the rest of MCU to stop the Mad Titan....

Captain America’s team in Avengers: Infinity War is indeed the Secret Avengers. Although Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) has typically aligned himself with the government, he found himself on the run after the events of Captain America: Civil War. He worked in hiding for two years, prior to returning to his prominent heroic place when Thanos threatened all life. During that time, plenty changed in Cap’s life, but he was joined by some of his closest crime-fighting friends....

Captain Marvel has proven to be yet another major hit for the MCU. The film helped to further expand the vast universe of these films while introducing a new hero in the form of Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel. The film also adapts a highly influential storyline from Marvel Comics, the Kree-Skrull War. The conflict between these two alien species was most famously seen in a nine-issue run in the early 70s which was a precursor to the big crossover event comics that became so popular....

Fans are wishing a new fan-made poster for Captain Marvel was the movie’s official poster. Marvel has yet to officially release any art or images of Brie Larson in-costume as Captain Marvel, other than concept art that was shown to Comic-Con International attendees last summer, but Captain Marvel set photos have been keeping fans occupied. Larson has been seen multiple times in a blue-and-green suit but not in a suit with her classic red-and-blue colors yet....

Captain Marvel’s soundtrack is full of hit songs from the 1990s, featuring some of the most popular rock, hip-hop, and grunge songs of the era. The film isn’t Marvel’s first period piece (yes, the 1990s are now a “period”), but it is the first of their films to integrate popular music as a way of highlighting the film’s setting. Unlike Guardians of the Galaxy, which includes 1970s/80s pop songs to keep Peter Quill connected to his roots, Captain Marvel’s soundtrack uses pop songs to reacquaint both Carol Danvers and the audience to the year, 1995....
