See, internet banking is becoming de rigeur. It’s the nicest way to visit your overdraft or to watch the numbers growing on your credit card statement as those punitive borrowing rates slowly enhance your debt. (So, how is it again banks lost all that money), anyway – I digress – the story is that now Australian police are warning citizens ‘down under’ to belay use of Windows for internet banking, advising they use a Mac or Linux machine instead....

Namor McKenzie was never an easy person to get along with. Since his introduction in Motion Picture Funnies Weekly (1939), the Sub-Mariner has enjoyed a gray streak as long as the Mariana Trench is deep. One of the first major super-antiheroes for Timely Comics (later Marvel), Namor has been protecting his undersea kingdom of Atlantis since before the dawn of Aquaman and remains a popular (if duplicitous) character. While the cantankerous merman has often fallen afoul of landlubbers, he mostly doesn’t care for surface-dwellers who meddle in, or worse, pollute, his watery domain....

Streaming video services like Apple TV+ and Disney+ are facing a ‘coronavirus crunch’ in their release plans. The lockdown means productions have been put on hold, leaving them with potential holes in their programming schedules further down the line.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 7 has brought a forgotten prequel villain to the forefront. The conflict between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems acted as the backdrop for the more personal narratives set forth in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Since the clone wars were nothing more than a basic story element, a lot of its finer details didn’t get much development. With the advent of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the heroes, villains, and worlds mentioned in name only during the prequels got plenty of progression....

The Cloverfield Paradox will be getting a Blu-ray and home video release in February 2019.

Cobra Kai season 3 could bring back The Karate Kid Part II’s Chozen Toguchi, but this time to work with Johnny Lawrence against John Kreese. The second season of YouTube Premium smash hit Cobra Kai saw disgraced karate teacher Kreese (Martin Cove) return to the frontlines as co-sensei of the Cobra Kai dojo, seemingly humbled and claiming to be a changed man. Unfortunately, what seemed to Lawrence (William Zabka) like another man’s redemptive arc proved the exact opposite....

At its Mac event last week, Apple previewed a new app called ‘TV’ that’s coming in December to the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV (and apparently not the Mac). The TV app is Apple’s effort to unify the video watching experience that currently takes place across various (mostly paid) video apps. The videos are still served up in each channel’s app, but Apple’s new TV app is home base for discovering what to watch next or resuming something you’ve already started....

Jump Force is an upcoming fighting game that unites the casts of several prominent series from Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Crossover fighting games are nothing new in the video game industry, but this time around, developer Spike Chunsoft is looking to put together a lineup completely different than what gamers are used to. Typically, the biggest fighting games in the world, such as Mortal Kombat, have featured characters from other franchises in the mix, but when it comes to manga characters, they don’t pop up in too many titles outside of their own series....

At Recode’s Code Media conference today, Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch touched on what he is seeing in terms of the early response Apple News+. This follows a report from last week that suggested Apple News+ has struggled to add new subscribers since its debut in March. Speaking at Code Media, Lynch said that the “jury is out” on whether Apple News+ will prove to be successful. One important thing to note is that Lynch inherited Condé Nast’s deal with Apple News+ from his predecessor, as he only took over as CEO in April (via Variety)....

The Disney and Fox merger is finally cleared to proceed after Comcast drops out of the bidding war to acquire the Murdoch family-owned company. Rumblings about the House of Mouse looking to buy Fox had been going on for quite some time before it was officially announced back in December.
