At the time, it was made clear this was a decision that would play out going forwards, so it’s no surprise that Disney Plus has launched without it. The real reason Simpsons fans are mad at Disney PlusThe episode removal isn’t worth getting that upset about. Besides, The Simpsons launched on Disney Plus this week with some actual controversy among passionate fans of the show. The arrival of The Simpsons on Disney Plus still feels like a big deal, then, but it’s not the total slam dunk it could’v

We’ve been sitting here, waiting for Intel Xe graphics cards (GPUs) for years at this point, but we might have finally seen something that gives us an idea of what they’ll look like. Intel’s first Xe graphics cards will be code named “Ponte Vecchio,” according to a leaked press deck spotted by VideoCardz. There’s still hope for anyone waiting for Intel gaming graphics cards with bated breath, though. Whenever we see Intel Xe graphics cards enter the mainstream, however, it will be about time. Wh

Security researchers have discovered that an Iranian state-sponsored hacking group has built and been operating its own private VPN which it uses for hacking, reconnaissance and even everyday web browsing. According to new research from Trend Micro, the group, codenamed APT33, is Iran’s most sophisticated hacking unit.

It began over the weekend when an admin of the website Personal View published a speculative article claiming Olympus’ imaging division was in turmoil and that employees were scrambling to find other jobs. However, it’s important to keep in mind that Olympus has been in business for over 100 years, and has successfully weathered some tough periods before. Yet the company survived, and in 2012 released the first of its groundbreaking OM-D cameras in the form of the E-M5. So if Olympus is planning

In what seems like an effort to combat the threat of Disney Plus, Netflix has entered into a multi-year deal with the kids entertainment giants at Nickelodeon which will bring numerous original animated films and TV shows to the streaming service. The deal acts as an expansion of Netflix and Nickelodeon’s existing partnership, which has so far produced such animated TV specials as Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling (pictured) and Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus. The pair also have two more special

The One-NetBook OneMix 1S is sure to divide opinions; as not everyone will consider a $499 Celeron-based laptop to be a good deal, but then this is no ordinary laptop. The OneMix 1S is probably the smallest devices on the market today, targeting a niche user base searching for extreme portability with as few compromises as possible. Bear in mind that the keyboard may infuriate touch typers and given its lilliputian dimensions, a touchpad is out of question. On the other hand though you will be a

The Witcher has been renewed for a second season, before the show has even debuted on Netflix.

Google Stadia is set to launch on November 19, but a Reddit AMA (ask me anything) sessions with Stadia developers has revealed a few features that won’t be available from day one. For one, you won’t be able to play local co-op through Stadia games – which seems an odd omission given that functionality will be baked into the game itself. Other missing features include ‘Crowd Play’ (for allowing streamers to play games with their viewers), gifting Stadia subscriptions, sharing save data between ac
