Even though it’s been off the air for almost half a decade, Mad Men still remains one of the highest-ranking television shows of all time on IMDb. The misadventures of everyone’s favorite ad executive Don Draper made its way into the hearts of audiences swiftly. It’s the kind of period drama we simply can’t convince ourselves to take our eyes off of.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is set to finally introduce Iron Man’s most iconic villain, The Mandarin, to the MCU, but Shang-Chi’s greatest enemy, Fu Manchu, will be nowhere in sight. Why? Because Marvel no longer owns the rights to the character. Mandarin is replacing Fu Manchu as his primary antagonist and possibly as his father as well. It was confirmed at SDCC 2019 that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will be part of Marvel Studios and Disney’s lineup for Phase 4 of the MCU....

At the end of Mayans M.C. season 1, Ezekiel ‘EZ’ Reyes (J.D. Pardo) learned the identity of the man who killed his and his brother Angel’s (Clayton Cardenas) mother. As it turns out, that man was none other than SAMCRO member Happy Lowman (David Labrava), though he wasn’t wearing the SAMCRO cut at the time. It was a huge moment that season 2 is all too eager to remind viewers of, though getting to the matter at hand comes in the sometimes painfully circuitous way this franchise likes to deal with exigent circumstances....
“This is a significant and dangerous reduction in the scope of [Australia’s critical infrastructure laws] because business-critical data does not describe the type of information that is most commonly held by government departments and agencies nor what is crucial to the functioning of government,” the Australian cloud and data storage provider said. Macquarie Telecom’s remarks were made to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS), which is currently reviewing the latest critical infrastructure reforms that were introduced into Parliament last month....

It’s time to party like it’s 2099 - Marvel Comics’ November event will relaunch the Marvel 2099 universe. In 1992, Stan Lee and John Byrne attempted to collaborate on a new comic book called Ravage 2099, exploring the future of the Marvel Universe. The project fell through, but Lee was still enthusiastic about the idea, and Marvel’s editors agreed. The Marvel 2099 range was set in a high-tech dystopian future bereft of superheroes, and it allowed veteran comic book writers to create a new world populated by distorted versions of classic characters....
Shared universes live and die on the diversity of the characters. Marvel and DC Comics are the two biggest kids on the comics block because there’s a character for everyone, from mere mortals in spandex whose only power is punching to godlike super0humans that can shrug off a nuclear warhead or two. It’s hard enough to write stories with demigods who can punch anything into submission, so imagine how much harder it is to write stories featuring actual deities....

We noted last summer that many UK payment terminals were allowing Apple Pay transactions above the standard £30 ($39) limit for contactless cards – and Apple says this is now true of the majority of terminals. The news was revealed by Jennifer Bailey, head of Apple’s payments business … Bailey told the Telegraph: It should be noted that ‘limitless’ may need to be qualified. One retailer told me that there is still a limit to Apple Pay transactions, but not one that would be hit by most purchases....
Navigation app MapQuest has been updated to version 4.4, offering more accurate ETAs thanks to better traffic data; an app-specific volume control that allows you to set the voice navigation volume independently of other apps; Ballpark Guides to MLB stadiums and airport maps; and GrubHub integration to allow you to order food from take-out restaurants before the app navigates you there to collect it. While MapQuest, like Apple Maps and Google Maps, downloads maps as you drive, it offers two forms of automatic caching designed to ensure that data deadspots don’t leave you stranded....
Warning: SPOILERS for Amazing Spider-Man #34, Doctor Doom #3, Savage Avengers #8 Remember when Doctor Doom became Iron Man and served the world as a superhero? Yeah, neither does Marvel. At least judging by his speedy return to being seen as the villain everyone loves to hate. That includes the storytellers at Marvel Comics, too. It briefly seemed that with Doctor Doom giving the villain his very own comic book series, his days of being a punching bag for the Fantastic Four were finally over....
In the history of Marvel Comics, fans can notice a tendency to keep its younger characters from growing up, keeping them teenagers or kids for years, even decades. Part of this has to do with Marvel’s sliding timescale, which ensures its characters only experience ten years of history regardless of how much time passes in the real world. Because of this, early Marvel characters like Spider-Man and the Human Torch aged from teenagers to early adulthood, but characters introduced more recently remain perpetually young....
