A recent study by Truecaller shows that the number of spam calls has been rising around the world. People in the U....

Update: The attack vulnerability is in Java 1.7 which almost no Mac Users are using (you’d need to update to 1.7 manually) In what seems like a flashback to a couple of months ago, several security experts are now warning folks about a new Java 7 exploit that is said to be super dangerous for Mac owners. As Metasploit’s Tod Beardsley told ComputerWorld, the bug can be exploited through any browser (including browsers on Windows and Linux) on a machine that has Java installed....

The New York Times has announced that its NYT Now app is to be withdrawn as of 29th August. The app, which provided a curated selection of stories from the paper aimed at younger readers, was launched at South by Southwest back in 2014.

It is for this reason their managers have never stopped working to ensure greater doses of privacy and security. In particular, during the last four years, Tor Project has focused on creating a new generation of Onion Services more robust than the previous one. After more than a decade in operation, age began to manifest and that was not desirable. The new “.onion” has 56 characters The measures that have taken from this network, one of the three largest hidden networks in the world, comprise several aspects....

Netflix renews Ricky Gervais’ After Life for season 2. The black comedy premiered last month, featuring a distinctly different style from the series creator and lead. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Gervais has been one of comedy’s most controversial figures. With his contrarian societal takes and unapologetic celebrity commentaries, the English comedian’s act transferred to Hollywood awards shows, as Gervais hosted the Golden Globes four times between 2010 and 2016....

While Netflix’s Dracula provides a unique take on the vampire novel, one element that remains impassable is its strange relationship with the vampire’s sexuality. Bram Stoker’s original novel has a history intertwined with eroticism. Published in 1897, it approaches the topic of sex the only way Victorian novels knew how: indirectly. Many scholars have attempted to make sense of the book’s sexual undercurrent, some claiming that Dracula represents Victorian anxieties towards gender and sexual fluidity....

The first one and perhaps the most important is a brand new Apple A7 chip which integrates a powerful CPU and a GPU to match the computation. Besides being simply faster, this new-generation unit is the very first 64-bit chip mounted on a smartphone, opening a new age in technical battles and also, in development. [Update: Looks like, it was Huawei who had the first 64-bit smartphone, with Ascend D Quad, way back in February 2012] The iPhone 5s also comes with an M7 motion sensing co-processor, which helps the phone keep a better track of all included sensors, like a gyroscope, accelerometer and proximity....

We posted images last month of what appeared to be a logic board for the next-generation iPhone showing an internal look at the A6 chip expected in the iPhone 5. New images of the logic board from HDBlog.it today show an A6 chip and what could be some of the other updated internal components of the iPhone 5. Earlier this year, we reported Apple was internally seeding a faster iPhone with 1GB of RAM and a variation of the A5x chip in the new iPad....

Vietnamese website Tinhte, which has a solid track record of getting its hands on pre-release Apple products and accurate mock ups,today posted what it claims are mock ups of two next-generation iPhones. One is the full-fledged “iPhone 5S” upgrade, while the other claims to show the much rumored low-cost “iPhone 5C” that we’ve been hearing a lot about recently.

After several long delays and an acquisition by Disney, New Mutants, featuring Charlie Heaton as Sam Guthrie, AKA Cannonball, is finally headed to theaters. As one of the core characters on the New Mutants, Cannonball hasn’t made it into live-action before, and Heaton gets to portray the character as he’s still learning to master his powers. Unfortunately, since the X-Men are expected to be rebooted to become a part of the rest of Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, this could be Heaton’s only turn as the character, and possibly the only time we’ll even see Cannonball and we won’t see his intended impact on the future of the X-Men franchise....

The current cut of Fox’s The New Mutants has reportedly dropped all references to the studio’s X-Men movies, and could eventually become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Writer-director Josh Boone’s adaptation of Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod’s X-Men spinoff comic books was one of the last Fox Marvel movies produced before the Disney-Fox deal was finalized in March, along with Dark Phoenix. The latter hit theaters in June and was poorly received by critics on its way to becoming Fox’s lowest-grossing X-Men film of all time....

This will continue Netflix’s recent push toward producing original anime content for both niche and mainstream audiences. Netflix is purportedly planning to spend $15 billion on content this year to enhance its slate of original content.

Netflix today announced its Q1 2019 earnings, reporting $4.5 billion in revenue, up 22.2 percent year-over-year. In its quarterly letter to shareholders, Netflix addresses newfound competition from Apple and Disney, but it doesn’t seem too worried.
