2020 will see the arrival of many movies, most of them sequels – but there are a lot of long overdue ones. The remakes, reboots, and sequels trend has been dominating the movie industry for a while now, with some of these being big hits and others not so much. Many of them weren’t well received when they were announced, but ended up being a pleasant surprise for viewers, and there are others that only marked the end of their franchises (a moment of silence for Terminator: Dark Fate)....

A couple of months prior to the DDoS attack on the Generalitat, the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) was forced to revert to pen, paper and chalkboards when it was hit by a ransomware attack.

From John Carpenter to Wes Craven to Alfred Hitchcock, these directors were able to thrust us into their terrifying worlds and leave us gasping in terror each and every time....

Each decade, the horror genre changes. The ’80s were filled with trashy slasher movies. Then in the ’90s, the genre had started to grow stale and repetitive. It wasn’t until 1996’s Scream finally revitalized the genre, leading to the influx of “hip” and self-aware horror that bled into the 2000s. The horror genre has now changed in the 2010s, for better and for worse. This list will look at the genre’s tropes within the last ten years, with some being a saving grace, while others that need to just go away....

Today, we want to try and uncover the best and the worst as we continue to back the idea that sport-based shows & movies on the big screen are, more often than not, much more fun than any of the alternatives....

Between the ring lights, lavaliere microphone, webcam, and 30-inch monitor, it’s easy to mistake him for a television reporter on the scene of a breaking story.

As employees increasingly want the Future of Work to Be Hybrid – with flexible options to work from home, from the office, or both – how do organizations plan for success?...

This is the year of 5G iPhones, but one of the biggest unknowns around the iPhone 12 is which flavors of 5G we’ll get. All models in all countries are likely to support sub-6GHz 5G. This is effectively the next step up from 4G/LTE, with similar range but offering only a relatively modest bump in speed. But when people talk about super-fast 5G, they are talking about a very different beast: mmWave 5G....

Pac-Man + Tournaments for Android Install Pac-Man + Tournaments from the Google Play Store. This is the best port of the original Pac-Man game I have ever played.
