Cool your jets Batman fans, James Gunn has heard you loud and clear over the highly anticipated sequel to Matt Reeves’ The Batman. So much so that he recently expressed his frustration with the demand in defense of the time DC Studios was taking. “Listen, we’re supposed to get a script in June. I hope that happens.

Something Big Is Twisting Mercury’s Crust

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-04-04 10:00:50

Mercury has it rough. Not only is it the smallest planet in the solar system, it’s also the closest to our Sun. This unfortunate position has caused Mercury to develop cracks and fractures across its surface, and generate stresses to its crust, a new study has found. Mercury is dry, rugged, and heavily cratered; the planet appears deformed with towering cliffs and ridges, as well as fracture lines that run along its surface. The origin of Mercury’s scars has long been a mystery: How did the pla

The "USB killer" is dead: Apple drops FireWire support in macOS 26

What just happened? FireWire was Apple's ambitious attempt to establish a novel connectivity technology for its computer ecosystem back in the 90s. Now, Cupertino is unceremoniously removing the standard from its modern operating system capabilities. The recently introduced macOS 26 "Tahoe" will bring a new naming scheme for Apple's operating system ecosystem, novel features, and a highly questionable Vista-like UI redesign.

Apple vs. generative AI: Who needs who?

zdnet.com Jason Hiner 2026-04-04 15:03:00

Tim Cook at Apple WWDC 2025. Jason Hiner/ZDNET One of my editors once told me that a cynic will always sound more rational, but that doesn't mean they're right. French statesman Francois Guizot basically said the same thing from the other POV: "The world belongs to optimists. Pessimists are only spectators." Apple's AI strategy has a lot of cynics and pessimists -- and they sound pretty rational based on what we've seen over the past year. The long-awaited revamp of Siri has never materialized
