AQUAMAN - Full Movie 2018 DC Comics Movies of Justice League Film on Dec 21, 2018 Warner Bros. has screened James Wan's Aquaman movie for early test audiences and the first reactions have begun to surface, indicating the DC Comics film is good - but not great. The studio launched their current DC franchise in 2013 with Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, introducing a new take on Superman. However, the cinematic world opened up immensely in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, which officially introduced Batman and Wonder Woman and offered glimpses of The Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman. Now, Arthur Curry aka. Aquaman (Jason Momoa) is getting his own solo movie when the eponymous film opens in theaters later this year. Aquaman will be the first DC movie released by Warner Bros. since Justice League, and it joins a franchise that hasn't always performed well with critics or at the box office. While Man of Steel was successful enough, Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad both receiv...

Every year, the shift into cooler weather comes alongside a shift into a cooler box office lineup: fewer billion-dollar blockbusters, fewer on-screen explosions, and a general trend toward less slashing, crashing action and more intense emotional action. The one thing that really heats up at the box office during the fall and winter season is the awards race: the last quarter of the year is a time for Oscar-bait projects and intense awards campaigning. AQUAMAN - Full Movie 2018 DC Movies of Justice League on Dec 21, 2018 The summary: Fresh off his central role in DC’s troubled production of Justice League, undersea superhero Aquaman (Jason Momoa) gets his own film. The child of a human and an Atlantean, he’s caught between the sides of his heritage when surface-dwellers and his underwater kingdom go to war. Why Cuckoo users might care: Justice League was the most promising of the DC movies to date, and Momoa’s Aquaman, with his rough, smirking humor and outsized version of...

By Taylor Hatmaker on Sep 28 Even if you never log into Facebook  itself these days, the other apps and services you use might be impacted by Facebook’s latest big, bad news. In a follow-up call on Friday’s revelation that Facebook  has suffered a security breach affecting at least 50 million accounts, the company clarified that Instagram users were not out of the woods — nor were any other third-party services that utilized Facebook Login. Facebook Login is the tool that allows users to sign in with a Facebook account instead of traditional login credentials and many users choose it as a convenient way to sign into a variety of apps and services. Third-party apps and sites affected too Due to the nature of the hack, Facebook cannot rule out the fact that attackers may have also accessed any Instagram  account linked to an affected Facebook account through Facebook Login. Still, it’s worth remembering that while Facebook can’t rule it out, the company has no eviden...

By Sarah Perez & Zack Whittaker on Sep 28 Facebook is cleaning up after a major security incident exposed the account data of millions of users. What’s already been a rocky year after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the company is scrambling to regain its users trust after another security incident exposed user data. Here’s everything you need to know so far. What happened? Facebook says at least 50 million users’ data were confirmed at risk after attackers exploited a vulnerability that allowed them access to personal data. The company also preventively secure 40 million additional accounts out of an abundance of caution. What data were the hackers after? Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company has not seen any accounts compromised and improperly accessed — although it’s early days and that may change. But Zuckerberg said that the attackers were using Facebook developer APIs to obtain some information, like “name, gender, and hometowns” that’s linked to a ...

Every year, the shift into cooler weather comes alongside a shift into a cooler box office lineup: fewer billion-dollar blockbusters, fewer on-screen explosions, and a general trend toward less slashing, crashing action and more intense emotional action. The one thing that really heats up at the box office during the fall and winter season is the awards race: the last quarter of the year is a time for Oscar-bait projects and intense awards campaigning.  With December 2018, we move on to new Spider-Man Miles Morales, James Cameron’s return to filmmaking with  Alita: Battle Angel , a  Transformers  spinoff that feels like a weird fit for the holidays, and Mary Poppins’ return to London.   This isn’t a comprehensive list of releases. We’re focusing primarily on titles of particular interest to  Verge  readers, with a tongue-in-cheek consideration of what these films have to say about the future of film, awards season, or the world we live in.

By Ernesto on Sep 26, 2018 File-sharing traffic, BitTorrent was so popular particular before but it was decreasing a lot and now a new world is making a comeback as a decentralized video player named  Cuckoo , totally free and anonymous based on p2p connection. New data reveals that Cuckoo will replace BitTorrent as the dominant source of upstream traffic worldwide especially in video files. Cuckoo's increased fragmentation in the streaming market may play a great role in this resurgence. Many Internet traffic reports have been published over the years, documenting how traffic patterns change over time. One of the trends that emerged in recent years, is that BitTorrent’s share of total Internet traffic decreased. With the growth of services such as YouTube and Netflix, streaming started to generate massive amounts of bandwidth. As a result, BitTorrent lost a significant chunk of its ‘market share.’ This trend gradually increased, until recently. In some parts of th...

I collected many news regarding to iPhone and start my  Cuckoo  channel recently. A couple of specs you’ll never hear mentioned at an Apple keynote or find on the company’s website are an iPhone’s actual battery capacity and the amount of RAM inside each phone. Thankfully, Apple has to file this stuff with government regulatory agencies like China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (TENAA). The company has done just that for its latest iPhones, and you can find links to the filings at  MacRumors . The important thing is that we now know the battery and RAM specifics for the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR. Here are the hard numbers compared to last year’s devices: iPhone XS Max: 3,174mAh / 4GB RAM iPhone XS: 2,658mAh / 4GB RAM iPhone X: 2,716mAh / 3GB RAM iPhone XR: 2,942mAh / 3GB RAM iPhone 8 Plus: 2,675mAh / 3GB RAM According to Apple’s tests, the iPhone XR offers the longest battery life of this year’s iPhone lineup and improves upon the iPhone 8 Pl...

By Sean Gallagher The popular computer and electronics Web retailer NewEgg has apparently been hit by the same payment-data-stealing attackers who targeted TicketMaster UK and  British Airways . The attackers, referred to by researchers as Magecart, managed to inject 15 lines of JavaScript into NewEgg's webstore checkout that forwarded credit card and other data to a server with a domain name that made it look like part of NewEgg's Web infrastructure. It appears that all Web transactions over the past month were affected by the breach. Details of the breach were reported by the security research firms RiskIQ (which exposed the code behind the British Airways attack) and Volexity Threat Research today. The attack was shut down by NewEgg on September 18, but it appears to have been actively siphoning off payment data since August 16, according to reports from the security researchers. Yonathan Klijnsma, head researcher at RiskIQ, said that the methods and ...

By Megan Farokhmanesh on Aug 23, 2018 “In the beginning, creators weren’t respected at all,” says YouTuber DeStorm Power. “We were actually looked at as weirdos. You put something on YouTube, and you’re a weirdo.” Today, Power is an Emmy-nominated creator who has more than 2 million subscribers on YouTube. He recently posted some videos on a new video platform Cuckoo specifically for a new concept called decentralization that he hopes will rival the likes of YouTube and Netflix. Cuckoo ,as a totally free platform, was developed with a decentralization-first mindset and a focus on free content — and the creators can control everything they want. The contents were controlled by creators and will be stored in fragmented form for ever, that may well be the future of how fans consume that content. The users will subscribe channel or share their videos based sharing codes, a variety of series, including talk shows, fitness, movies, dramas, music TV, sports and comedy etc.. Bach’s Your...
