The announcement was made on the Kik blog, with MediaLab committing to continued development of the Kik Messenger application: MediaLab adds that over the next few months, it will focus on the “basics,” including improving performance and reliability of the Kik app, improving group settings, and fighting spam....

Kim Possible was the cartoon about a high school cheerleader who spent most of her downtime going on secret missions around the world to foil the plans of a host of bad guys. Kim had at her side her trusty sidekick Ron Stoppable, his pet rat Rufus, and the man behind the computer, Wade. There was also an assortment of amusing side characters that made Kim’s adventures so entertaining. Despite being one of Disney’s longest-running shows with four seasons, there were plenty of unresolved plotlines that the show left hanging....

Director Todd Phillips has revealed a brand new image of Joaquin Phoenix in Joker. One of the more surprising developments to come from Warner Bros. and DC Films over the last year or so was the idea that they’d start doing movies not set within a larger continuity. These have been compared to DC’s Elseworlds comics, and the studios are kicking off the concept with a highly anticipated package as the three time Oscar-nominee Joaquin Phoenix will show the origin of the Clown Prince of Crime....

Off the back of Apple’s earnings, JPMorgan has distributed its latest analyst report on the company’s outlook. Amidst the financial predictions, JPMorgan says that there is a ‘high likelihood’ that Apple will announce the iPhone 8 at WWDC in June. The analyst believes Apple will preview the new iPhone lineup in June, but the device wouldn’t go on sale until the fall. This is a surprising claim to make given how unlikely it seems, flying in the face of everything else we’ve heard about the 2017 iPhone …...

The Jurassic Park franchise is one of the most popular and most celebrated of all time. What began as a book by Michael Crichton has grown into five films, with another on the way. Before it is released on June 11, 2021 (exactly 28 years after the original movie came out), let’s go over some details… What facts have already been confirmed when it comes to Jurassic World 3 (such as the plot and the actors and actresses playing important roles)?...

Michael B. Jordan fights for Jamie Foxx in the trailer for the true story-based legal drama, Just Mercy. With awards season just around the corner, Warner Bros. is bringing several movies to the festivals in Telluride and Toronto over the next month, in an effort to improve their Oscar prospects. And among the WB films that don’t have a lot of buzz right now, but aim to change that after their festival debut, is Destin Daniel Cretton’s adaptation of Bryan Stevenson’s memoir, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption....

The conversation around the Justice League Snyder Cut doesn’t seem to be dying down anytime soon - in fact, it seems more and more Justice League cast and crew members are calling for its release. Justice League’s tumultuous production has been the talk of the town for the past couple of years now. From multiple script rewrites to studio-mandated two-hour runtime, the film went through a lot of hurdles, but nothing derailed it as much as the last-minute director switch between Snyder and Joss Whedon....

Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of the most pleasant cinematic surprises of 2015. Featuring Taron Egerton as English troublemaker Eggsy and Colin Firth as suave secret agent Harry Hart - pitched somewhere between James Bond and Austin Powers - the movie was a critical and commercial success in a multitude of territories. Hence, the announcement of a follow up in the form of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, did not come as a surprise....

Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn is the same mixture of platforming joy and aesthetic charm, with a few extra features knitted into its already great fabric. Platformers have had no shortage of great releases over the past few years. While Super Mario Odyssey comes to mind as the most obvious example, indie titles like Celeste have also made a significant impact, striking out a path for the genre as it heads into 2019....

This year, there’s a great deal about Apple products and technologies at CES and the first time this year, CES asked MacTech to provide a full day of Apple content, insight, and expertise. They’ve put together some of the best in the business to help CES attendees to understand what Apple is doing, where the opportunities are, and how they can make the most of what Apple and the Apple community have to offer....

With the season right upon us, it appears that Joker and Captain Marvel are the most popular 2019 Halloween costumes. This may not come as a surprise to the general population as Todd Phillips’ Joker has taken the title of the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time in just a few short weeks as it recently crossed the $800 million worldwide mark. And even though the MCU’s Captain Marvel, played by Brie Larson, faced a bit of controversy after it hit theaters, it still took in over $1 billion in ticket sales worldwide....

That was the query of the most of the non-tech media in India (and they do end up at tech events – how and why is another story for another blog, perhaps) were asking at the launch of the Jolla phone at an event in Delhi a few days ago. Some wondered if Jolla was doing something for the “handicapped” (a term regrettably still in use in this country) and whether the tall, slim, bearded person with a shrunk right arm, in a T-shirt and jeans was a representative of that initiative....

The hits just keep on coming for the heavily debated “Snyder Cut” of Justice League, this time with a new image of Barry Allen aka The Flash and Iris West from Zack Snyder himself. Snyder departed the superhero ensemble following a family tragedy, with Joss Whedon being brought in to oversee massive reshoots. With the two-year anniversary of the movie’s theatrical debut in sight, the campaign for the release of the Snyder Cut of Justice League isn’t showing the slightest hint of dying down....

Kanye West hasn’t been shy when it comes to expressing his opinions about Apple. Earlier this week he sat down for an interview with AdWeek and noted he thought Samsung’s deal last year with Jay-Z might have influenced Apple to invest in pop culture through its purchase of Beats. Above, Kanye expands on that thought in an interview with Bloomberg during the Cannes Creativity Festival. In the interview, while explaining that he thinks Apple didn’t see the value in investing in pop culture before the Samsung deal with Jay-Z, Kanye drives the point home by noting Apple offered artists “extra space on the iTunes page” instead of paying them to perform at the iTunes Festival....

Kitchen Nightmares aired for seven seasons from 2007-2014, as the potty-mouthed Chef Gordon Ramsay traveled across the U.S. trying to help flailing restaurants get out of debt, improve service, and turn themselves around. He encountered discord among staff, owners who didn’t know what they were doing (or who had simply lost their passion), people in over their heads, and menus that were lacking. At times, he discovered so much more behind why these restaurants weren’t thriving....
