But that’s where the Hanna TV show deviates from the movie. Instead of Marissa shooting Johanna dead on the road like in the film, this time the CIA agent chases the family via helicopter and forces their car to crash and explode as they attempt to make it to the forest. Johanna is killed but Erik escapes with baby Hanna into the woods. The Hanna TV Show Follows The Same Story Beats… But With Some Differences Hanna’s pilot echoes the first act of the film with many familiar beats....

Dwyane Wade noted that he’s waiting on a good answer from America’s Got Talent for firing his wife Gabrielle Union. As the controversy grows, many stars are calling on the Screen Actors Guild to take up the cause on Union’s behalf. The retired basketball pro is reacting to the news that Union was fired in retaliation after lodging a complaint about a racist comment made in her presence on the show....

There are many reasons why America’s Got Talent season 1 was the worst season. The show suffered from a lack of identity in its inaugural year, and the problems only grew from there. The lineup that season included host Regis Philbin and a judging panel consisting of singer Brandy Norwood, David Hasselhoff and Piers Morgan. In the beginning, AGT struggled to find its footing among a sea of competition talent programs....

We already heard Starbucks is coming to Passbook by the end of the month, and Target announced yesterday too, but it appears another industry heavyweight, American Express, will also join the party as soon as today. VentureBeat reported the AmEx integration will not allow users to pay with Passbook, but it will be more centered on current promos and recent purchases.

Apple has created a new screensaver for the fourth-gen Apple TV that consists of a collection of videos taken all over the world. While it’s possible to locate these screensaver videos online and download them from Apple’s website, there hasn’t been a way to set them as your Mac’s screensaver. Thanks to developer John Coates, that’s not the case anymore. Coates published a Mac screensaver this week that lets you choose to run any of these videos when your Mac has been idle....

On Monday, Ceremorphic of San Jose, California, formally debuted chip efforts that have been kept in a stealth mode for two years, discussing a chip the company claims will revolutionize the efficiency of AI computing in terms of power consumption. “It’s counterintuitive today, but higher performance is lower power, said Venkat Mattela, founder and CEO of the company, in an interview with ZDNet via Zoom. Mattela believes that numerous patents on low-power operation will enable his company’s chip to produce the same accuracy on signature tasks of machine learning with much less computing effort....

Reuters reports that South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission (FTC) is investigating Apple for possible anti-competitive practices in the country. This appears to support an earlier unconfirmed report in Korea Times that FTC was examining the legality of Apple’s contract terms with mobile carriers. If this sounds familiar, it’s because it echoes an earlier case in France … Sources said Apple Korea has pressed carriers into buying a minimum volume of promotional iPhones and sharing the burden of repair costs […]...

In three seasons on ABC, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been hit or miss, even for the most diehard of Marvel fans. With season four, the writers pulled out such comic book hits as Ghost Rider (played by Gabriel Luna) and Life Model Decoys to revitalize the story. Now, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is heading somewhere it’s never gone before: a whole new virtual world. The series has taken its secret agents to a whole new planet (in season three), and even to another dimension (in season four), but this time around, an entire virtual reality in which the minds of those connected to it are completely immersed has arrived....

SPOILERS for those not caught up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ahead More so than any year before, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 has been broken up into three distinctive “pods” - as they’re called by those close to the show. After dispatching the ancient Inhuman Hive at the end of season 3, with Lincoln Campbell (Luke Mitchell) sacrificing himself to do so, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returned with a focus on introducing Robbie Reyes aka Ghost Rider (Gabriel Luna)....

Alita: Battle Angel, directed and co-written by Robert Rodriguez off a story plan by producer James Cameron, may be getting a lot of attention for the groundbreaking processes and technology behind the creation of the title character player by Rosa Salazar, but Iron City is chock full of cyborgs of varying sizes and shapes. Shooting sequences, especially large scale action scenes, with these characters against real-life sets and with actors performing motion capture can make these uniquely complex to bring to life....

The Apple AirPods have led the truly-wireless earphone industry and maintained their crown ever since their release in late 2016. The changes introduced in AirPods 2, or AirPods (second-generation) as Apple describes them, don’t shake the boat but help AirPods maintain their lead. I received my AirPods with Wireless Charging Case yesterday morning in the UK, so I’ve had about a day to get a feel for them.

From this guide, you could download the latest stock firmware for all the Oppo devices. When you are part of BBK Electronics which houses giants like OnePlus and other famous OEMs like Vivo and Realme, it is a real tough job getting a separate identity for yourself.
