http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1 If you are a public school student, it is hard to beat Maine when it comes to getting Apple products. Every middle school student got a MacBook starting in 2009 (and their 1-to-1 program started in 2001). Now Kindergartners are getting iPad 2s. Seems like the Apple thing is working out for them. Where are the iPhones for High Schoolers? http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/apps/cvp/3.0/swf/cnn_416x234_embed.swf?context=embed_edition&videoId=us/2011/04/08/dnt.me.ipad.kindergarten.wgme Mossberg: Samsung Series 9 tries to be a Windows MacBook Air (9to5mac....

What is a Mainframe? The mainframe is a high performance and a high-speed computer system. It is used for larger scale computing purposes that requires great availability and security. It is mostly used in sectors like finance, insurance, retail and other critical areas where huge data are processed multiple times. While performing Mainframe testing, the tester only needs to know about the navigations of the CICS screens. They are custom built for specific applications....

The first major event addition to Mario Kart Tour is set to arrive this week, adding a handful of new things for players to enjoy. There’s been a lot of controversy surrounding Nintendo’s latest mobile title since its launch. These complaints are largely targeted at the game’s penchant for pursuing real-world cash from its user base through controversial gacha mechanics. This doesn’t appear to have impacted the success of the game at all, however, as Mario Kart Tour surpassed $1 million in revenue in just 24 hours....

Mass Effect is a sci-fi action RPG that puts you in the shoes of Commander Shepard, hero of the galaxy and puncher of annoying reporters. Thing is, even with all those conversation wheels, it can be difficult to see Shepard as their own character; they don’t develop all that much across the trilogy, and you can have them making such wildly different decisions from scene to scene that it’s hard to discern any character outside of ‘good at shooting things’....

Shachar Menashe, senior director of JFrog security research, and Andrey Polkovnychenko explained that hijacking a user’s Discord token (the user’s credentials) effectively gives the attacker full control over the user’s account. “This type of attack has severe implications if executed well, and, in this case, public hack tools made such an attack easy enough for even a novice hacker to perform,” Menashe said. “We recommend organizations take precaution and manage their use of npm for software curation to reduce the risk of introducing malicious code into their applications....

There will only be two new films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe hitting theaters in 2020, and here’s why. Once Disney acquired Marvel Studios and both companies saw the success of a shared universe blossom with The Avengers, the output of these films increased. Starting in 2014, Marvel Studios has released at least two films every year, with 2017 marking the start of a three year run with three MCU films in theaters....

In an effort to further expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel will be branching away from just having properties on the big screen, ABC, and Netflix. They have a number of ideas in the works, one of which is set to give Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson the spotlight in Cloak & Dagger. The series will mark Marvel’s first attempt at bringing their ever-expanding universe to Freeform, an ABC affiliate network, which will reportedly bring a heavy focus on romance into the MCU....

One of the biggest mysteries set up by the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the origin of Knowhere, a giant decapitated head that doubles as a space station for the scum of the universe, and fans are now hoping that the impending release of Marvel’s Eternals may finally shed some light on the subject. First discussed as a possible Phase 4 film by Kevin Feige in April 2018, and later confirmed as such at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, the Eternals movie will supposedly span thousands of years, from the very beginnings of the Marvel Universe all the way to present day....

Polkit, formerly known as PolicyKit, is a systemd SUID-root program. It’s installed by default in every major Linux distribution. How dangerous is it? Very. This vulnerability is easy to exploit. And, with it, any ordinary user can gain full root privileges on a vulnerable computer by exploiting this vulnerability in its default configuration. As Qualys wrote in its brief description of the problem: “This vulnerability is an attacker’s dream come true....

Mars Stealer is a stealthy and powerful malware with only 95 KB but capable of stealing a large volume of data. According to 3xp0rt analysis, this is a redesigned variant of the Oski trojan that stopped its operation in July 2020. Its authors closed the Telegram channel and stopped all activity, including communication with their clients. Later, in July 2021, Mars Stealer began to be promoted on a Russian-speaking underground forum....

Legendary director Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman has been in development hell for the better part of a decade now, since he first announced his plans for the film in 2008. Early last year, it looked as though the adaptation of Charles Brandt’s I Heard You Paint Houses was finally coming together, as distribution rights were picked up by STX Entertainment (along with some others), and a 2018 release was planned. Unfortunately, that deal fell through, as Paramount backed out of the “risky” movie with the exit of studio chairman Brad Grey....

The cast of Marvel’s upcoming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will consist almost entirely of Asian actors. Shang-Chi is a superhero who first appeared in 1973 during the Bronze Age of Comic Books and during the boom of martial arts films in the U.S. Created by artist Jim Starlin and writer Steve Englehart, Shang-Chi is a master of all martial arts, who has the power to duplicate himself....

A new discovery in yesterday’s release of macOS 10.12.1 hints at the much anticipated OLED touch screen expected to be integrated into Apple’s upcoming MacBook Pro rumored to arrive at the company’s October 27 event this week. Within resources for System Preferences (via MacRumors), updated assets in macOS 10.12.1 show a new virtual keyboard layout with the top row of the current keyboard design missing. With the upcoming refreshed MacBook Pro’s expected to have the new OLED touch bar in place of the top row of function keys on the device’s keyboard, it makes sense that a new virtual keyboard layout for that device wouldn’t have those keys represented…...

The third quarter of 2011 marks a shift in the cell phone biz as Samsung takes the smartphone crown from Apple and China’s ZTE rises to become the world’s fourth-largest cell phone vendor by volume and Apple slides to fifth place. The bad news for Cupertino arrives just as the company for the first time in years missed Street expectations after shipping 17.07 million iPhones in the September quarter, a modest 21 percent annual growth and a notable 16 percent quarterly decline in units....

From 9to5Toys.com Just over 6 months ago, 2K released the third entry in the long running Mafia franchise for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

At the heart of Manifest season 2 is the building suspense over the ominous “death date” that was revealed in the season 1 finale. Apparently, the passengers of Flight 828 have an expiration date, which means that all of them are expected to die at the same time, but one character in particular, Zeke (Matt Long), is fated to die earlier than everyone else. Manifest season 1 primarily dealt with the passengers of Flight 828 returning after a five-year absence and struggling to reintegrate into their old lives....
