It would appear DC Comics has at last looked in the mirror and recognized its own internal darkness, much like an edgy teen after they get their first listen at some rock music. Yes, DC Comics – or Hal Jordan, at least – has owned up to its own consistently dark content in the recent Green Lantern: Blackstars #2. With plots like the ones in “The Infected,” a recent crossover event that follows infected, villainous versions of classic DC heroes Shazam!...

Add Griffin Technology on your wish list of iPhone-controlled helicopter makers (and Parrot’s AR.Drone and Keyword Shopping’s iHelicopter, if you haven’t yet). The Helo TC, announced today, works with a free iOS app that lets you control a twin-rotor helicopter by the means of touching virtual buttons or tilting your device. Interestingly, the app talks to the helicopter using an infrared battery-powered module attachable to your iOS device’s headphone jack rather than communicate via a wireless base station in your home or office....

Guillermo del Toro has one of the darkest minds in Hollywood, but he’s also one of the most talented and inventive filmmakers working today. Although he’s told such disparate stories as the romance shared by a mute janitor and a sea monster, a paranormal law enforcement agency’s quest to save the world led by a demonic superhero, and soldiers in robot suits beating up interdimensional giant monsters, you can always tell a del Toro movie....

HTB is an excellent platform that hosts machines belonging to multiple OSes. It also has some other challenges as well. Individuals have to solve the puzzle (simple enumeration plus pentest) in order to log into the platform and download the VPN pack to connect to the machines hosted on the HTB platform.

There aren’t too many cool apps that launch first on Android, but Google Spotlight Stories is one. It plays sweet, animated stories using a mix of 2D and 3D imagery – the cool part being that you can ‘look around’ the scene simply by rotating your phone. There’s some heavy-duty talent behind the creation of the stories, the debut story Windy Days being created by former Pixar animators, and Help by Justin Lin, director of The Fast and the Furious … Immerse yourself in a world of storytelling made just for mobile....

Gossip Girl ran for six seasons, chronicling the lives of teenagers from the Upper East Side, considered New York and Manhattan elite. Along the way, we meet other characters, such as their parents, enemies, and allies. However, for the most part, the TV show stays focused on Serena, Blair, Nate, Chuck, and Dan (the outsider). For many of the seasons, two other outsiders, Jenny and Vanessa also serve as the main cast....

Warning! Spoilers for Gretel & Hansel below. Oz Perkins’ Gretel & Hansel is as gorgeous as it is strange, putting an even darker twist on a 200 year fairy tale.

In January of this year, Apple released AirPort Utility 6.0, an updated version of the configuration tool for setting up home networks and AirPort products. With a redesigned interface much like the iOS Airport Utility app, many did not notice support for IPv6—the next version of Internet Protocol expected to follow IPv4—was completely removed. With Comcast now offering IPv6 services to home users in two cities and an official roll out later this month, experts at the North American IPv6 summit in Denver this week expressed concerns over Apple’s decision....

Both Dan Humphrey and Nate Archibald were typically seen as the “good guys” of Gossip Girl. Each had a pretty decent moral compass (most of the time) and they were both relatively responsible and friendly at a surface level. However, when you take a second look at this duo’s friendship, it becomes apparent that they both did things and had secrets of their own that made it impossible for them to truly be best buds....

Mantiz’s Venus is an upcoming eGPU box and docking station for Thunderbolt 3-enabled laptops like the 2016 MacBook Pro. The Taiwanese-based company is working on bringing two eGPU boxes to market — the eccentric-looking Saturn, and the more subdued-looking Venus.

Even before Stadia launched, signs were pointing to a disappointing release....

While Arrow is exiting the Arrowverse, there may still be more adventures for John Diggle (David Ramsey) involving the Green Lantern universe. Crisis on Infinite Earths concluded one chapter and began another as The CW’s DC TV universe was forever changed. But as the current shows got rebooted, so did the Multiverse concept.

Cygnett: I used a couple of Cygnett’s cases over the past few months on both iPhone and iPad and can vouch for the quality.
