Hates

The U.S. Department of Justice and 16 state attorneys general sued Apple for allegedly violating federal antitrust laws on Thursday. The 88-page complaint lays out the government’s case against Apple, claiming the tech titan abused its monopoly in the smartphone market by imposing unfair practices for developers, blocking super-apps and cloud-streaming apps, and prohibiting tap-to-pay services outside of their own.But on page 38, prosecutors get to the real juicy stuff: Apple’s long-standing assault on Android users via…

For decades, the X-Men have been presented as a metaphor for the Civil Rights Movement, as mutants were seen as different because of their abilities and how they appear due to factors outside their control. Their response to bigotry and hatred is to educate their greatest haters, while the villainous Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants originally fought for mutant supremacy and the annihilation of humanity — a mission that angered the already frightened human populace.  When writer Chris Claremont…

There is something uniquely, profoundly sad about the fact that someone signed off on releasing Madame Web in the state that it is. Indeed, after watching the latest from Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, most of you will rightfully walk away thinking that Sony just really hates superhero movies, and is going out of its way to gut whatever characters it can (legally) get its hands on so as to worsen the public’s perspective on the genre, because Madame Web‘s disastrously-woven pile of flaws exceeds the descriptive limits not…

What motivates you to do a great job at work? Is it the pressure to earn a decent paycheck to support your family? Or maybe it’s the desire to fund some travels this summer? Or perhaps it’s just the fact that you need to pay rent and eat this month. But no matter how much you need a paycheck, if you really hate your job, finding a reason to work hard is going to be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. That’s why one team leader decided that there was no point in trying to motivate an employee who was clearly…

Apple's Vision Pro VR headset hit the market last Friday. Apple sees the Vision Pro as a transformative product, on par with the groundbreaking iPhone in 2007, and hates it when people refer to them as a VR headset. Instead, they want people to call it a spatial computer…

Making sure an event as large as Games Done Quick (GDQ) runs smoothly is a monumental task. There are lots of technical moving parts, from video equipment, to lighting, sound, and stream overlays, to donation trackers that have to be kept running 24 hours a day for a week straight. The tech team also has to consider the individual needs of over 100 runners playing on consoles that range in age and complexity from the NES to the PlayStation 5.With all of that going on, I wondered which game out of the thousands that have…

I believe most people would agree that parenting is hard. Parents probably would agree more, but also people who don’t have kids yet, I am sure, wouldn’t argue. Looking from the outside, seeing parents who are our friends or relatives – well, it looks really exhausting. So it’s no surprise that sometimes it’s hard to control our words when we are tired.A mom expressed her regret online, having said that she “hated” her child for being awful to his younger brother and then realized he had heard it.More info:…

Actress Drew Barrymore said that she was left "sick to her stomach" when she dated a man who napped excessively. The 48-year-old star did not reveal which of her previous boyfriends annoyed her with his habit of going to bed during the day. Speaking on her show, she said, "I`ve said that I have a very strong opinion about them. I just had a relationship with a guy who just napped all the time. It made me sick to my stomach. Yeah, it was just always, he was so tired all the time and had to nap all the time. It`s really…

Google released a big Google Maps upgrade a few weeks ago, including a significant redesign and new AI features. The new Google Maps color palette is now similar to Apple Maps, which is one widespread criticism from users. It’s not necessarily bad, but I can see how longtime Google Maps users will have difficulty adjusting to the new colors. And no, there’s no way to switch back to the old theme. The new colors have been rolling out more widely, drawing more criticism from users who have found themselves…

Images via Marvel Studios After a gap of four full years, if you can believe it, Samuel L. Jackson is finally returning to the Marvel universe as Nick Fury in the incoming Disney Plus series Secret Invasion, and he’s wasting no time in admitting the one thing that he wishes would change about his beloved character. Although Jackson’s tongue-in-cheek comments are nothing compared to the shade his Avengers co-star Elizabeth Olsen has thrown on a major part of her own MCU journey. Let’s begin: Samuel L. Jackson…
