Crisis on Infinite Earths, the 5-part Arrowverse crossover event, is set to resume on January 14 with the final two parts of the game-changing storyline. But already in the first three parts of the multi-show event has so much happened. From the huge list of DC cameos and appearances from other films and TV shows to major ramifications for the Arrowverse as a whole, TPTB has made it very clear that they are not joking around with this story....

The first episode of Crisis on Infinite Earths confirmed that Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman has already faced Doomsday. Hoechlin’s version of the Man of Steel has won viewers over on Supergirl, to the extent that The CW has now signed off on a spinoff starring Hoechlin’s Superman and Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane.

1. Trend of states prohibiting ransomware payments is spreading Increasingly, state legislatures have made it illegal to use public funds to pay ransom in ransomware cases.

Dave Bautista is “very excited” that James Gunn is back directing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The Drax the Destroyer actor was Gunn’s biggest public supporter after Disney fired him from the third Guardians movie over his old offensive joke tweets last summer. Indeed, Bautista spent the following months openly campaigning for Gunn’s return, making it crystal-clear he felt the Mouse House had made the wrong call, and that he would only return for Guardians 3 without Gunn due to a contractual obligation....

For six seasons, the core group on teen drama Dawson’s Creek try to figure out this whole growing up thing while falling in love and planning for the future. Since Joey Potter (Katie Holmes), Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek), Jen Lindley (Michelle Williams), Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson), and Jack McPhee (Kerr Smith) are the main characters, they’re the people that fans have grown the most invested in. Capeside may be a small town (and an idyllic one at that) but whether Dawson and his friends are still at home or have moved to Boston after high school, they’re always interacting with other people....

Death Stranding will be coming to both Steam and the Epic Games Store simultaneously for its PC release. Publisher 505 Games made the announcement the same day the game was released for PlayStation 4.

A supply chain report indicates that demand for MacBooks and iPads remains positive despite the fact that most stores are closed and many consumers face financial concerns during the coronavirus outbreak. While it’s just one measure, today’s report says that suppliers of Apple’s scissor-switch keyboard are continuing to ramp up production as per pre-coronavirus plans … The scissor keyboard is used in the 16-inch MacBook Pro, 13-inch MacBook Air and the upcoming Magic Keyboard for the 11-inch and 12....

I love the Apple ecosystem. It’s not perfect by any means, but I’d say that the vast majority of the time it lives up to Steve’s famous ‘it just works’ promise. It’s the main reason that I have two Macs, an iPad and an iPhone. So when a big Apple fan deliberately moves outside of that ecosystem, that’s a sign that something is very wrong. And I do so not just in one area, but two....

Apple this week very quietly launched another new Services product: an AppleCare+ subscription. It’s a move that could see the company doubling its money on what is likely to be a very profitable product. Previously, you could choose between a one-off upfront payment for your AppleCare+ policy or a monthly one, but either way, it ran for a fixed period of either two or three years, depending on the product. Two years in the case of an iPhone....

The whole show had been turned upside down....

Well, there’s no truly decentralized, user-controlled music streaming service yet. But it’s kind of the idea behind doubleTwists’s new CloudPlayer app that’s “launching on Android first” (iOS version should be tagging along soon?). doubleTwist CloudPlayer lets you hack your own music streaming service that’s currently limited to Android and the storage space you have on Dropbox/Google Drive. You upload your entire music collection to either/both cloud storage services (which can take a couple of hours to a couple of days), then get the Android app, connect respective accounts and let CloudPlayer do its thing....

While CSI: Crime Scene Investigation had enough drama between burglaries, violent crimes and just about every employee being framed, abducted or offed during the show’s run, writers opted to add in more drama with a few relationships. It’s impossible to throw a bunch of humans together and expect otherwise, and as with any popular TV show, some of the relationships worked really well while others flopped or worse. Some managed to do both....

Warner Bros kicked off their DC Comics Extended Universe last year with the debut of Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice - a follow up to the director’s Man of Steel. Although there was a great deal of buzz and excitement going into Batman V Superman, the film was largely maligned by critics, and inspired a divisive response among moviegoers. Fans hoped David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, the second of Warner Bros’ 2016 DCEU entries, could help the burgeoning superhero universe bounce back, but that turned out not to be the case when it received the same critical panning and divisive response....

It’s commonly said that actors have the biggest egos in show business. When you’re starring in the latest superhero movie or gunning down Tie Fighters, it’s easy to feel a little full of yourself. Acting can be difficult, whether it’s as an action star or an Oscar winner and that hard work deserves the occasional pampering. However, some performers remain absolutely clueless about their place in Hollywood. Whether their career flopped a long time ago or it still hasn’t taken off, the mere act of appearing in films is enough to send them over the edge and straight in to diva mode....
