Here’s where else you may have seen Venom star Riz Ahmed. Since making his movie debut in 2006, Ahmed has emerged as one of the best young actors of his generation. He can jump from intense dramas to comedy or blockbusters with ease and no matter the size of the role, he always delivers strong work. His first movie appearance came in Michael Winterbottom’s The Road To Guantanamo. This disturbing docudrama told the true story of the Tipton Three, three British Muslims who were sent to Guantanamo Bay and subject to brutal interrogations before being released without charge....

Chainalysis provides data, software, services, and research to a variety of organizations in over 60 countries, including government agencies, exchanges, financial institutions, insurance, and cybersecurity companies. Robinhood Crypto will be using two pieces of software called Chainalysis KYT and Chainalysis Reactor. Chainalysis KYT will help the company flag “risky and illicit transactions in real-time, while Chainalysis Reactor enables deeper due diligence into suspicious activity.” Ben Einstein, head of partnerships at Robinhood Crypto, said Chainalysis works closely with regulators and law enforcement to “develop industry best practices, and that approach is aligned with Robinhood’s commitment to working with policymakers in a collaborative manner....

This is a bit strange, but renders based on schematics provided to MySmartPrice indicate some external design changes to the iPhone 13. These adjustments don’t really tell us much about any new features, but they are notable if accurate. In addition to the new slimmer width notch we’ve seen elsewhere, the MySmartPrice renders depict a diagonal arrangement of the iPhone 13’s dual camera system. Rather than being stacked vertically as in the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12, the depicted render places the lenses diagonally in the top-left and bottom right corner of the square camera module....

There are a few companies that make skins specifically for Apple’s keyboards to add icons for the various shortcuts that pros use daily in apps like Logic Pro and Final Cut. I’ve tried a few in the past, but the benefits never seemed to outweigh the tradeoff of putting a clunky rubber skin over Apple’s masterfully built keyboard. The latest Logic keyboard I received in for review from EditorsKeys, however, has actually won me over and proven up to the task of permanently replacing my stock Apple keyboard....

Anyone who grew up reading Sci-Fi will know that by now we’re all supposed to be driving hover-cars and living in fully-automated homes, with Star Trek-style swishy doors and cookers we can talk to. Home automation hasn’t really happened, unless you are either very wealthy, very geeky or both. What Belkin has set out to do with its Wemo products is provide at least a touch of home automation for the rest of us: something affordable, and easy to use …...

The Late 2016 MacBook Pro lacks many of the convenient ports that we’ve seen on previous MacBook releases. But if there’s a silver lining to be found, it’s that the USB-C ports featured on the new machines are super-versatile. With a single USB-C cable, for instance, you can tap into CalDigit’s USB-C Dock, which gains you instant access to multiple legacy USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, an extra USB-C port, and an additional 3....

The promise of the Thunderbolt standard is that it can deliver a lot of data over long distances very quickly for many types of devices. Unfortunately, that promise has been pretty slow to materialize, and the long distance piece of the equation has been particularly painful. Corning is hoping to turn that around this year with the consumer launch of its Thunderbolt Optical Cables in 10 meter (33 foot), 30 meter (99 foot), and 60 meter (198 foot) sizes....

ProWidgets is a brand new tweak for jailbroken iPhones and iPads that builds on the foundation of a previous tweak called Tap to Widgets (both by developer Alan Yip) to provide the most solid and complete widget platform on iOS. With nine built-in, fully-featured widgets and an architecture that allows third-party developers to add their own, ProWidgets is one of the best tweaks you can get right now. Keep reading for a full breakdown of everything this tweak can do for you....

League of Legends developer Riot Games will pay out a massive $10 million USD settlement as a result of the long-standing gender discrimination lawsuit that was filed against the company by women who experienced a pervasive sexist culture while working there. Riot Games has been embroiled in the lawsuit since late last year, and reporting on the incident has uncovered a number of troubling stories detailing the company’s problematic treatment of women and general inequality in the workplace....

Rockstar Games Inc. is a video game publisher that has developed a couple of stunning and most popular video games like the Grand Theft Auto franchise and the Red Dead series. Now, talking about the Rockstar Games Services, some of the users may get a particular error message that says Rockstar Game Services are Unavailable Right Now. So, if you’re also one of them and want to know what’s the reason behind it and how to fix it, then check this article....

Rockstar is making some updates to the beta of Red Dead Online. The online component of Red Dead Redemption 2 launched its beta in November 2018, and now three months later, it remains in beta mode. Red Dead Online takes its cue from Red Dead Redemption 2, which followed the adventures of Arthur Morgan, a veteran of the Van der Linde gang. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to the highly successful Red Dead Redemption but focuses on a time when the Wild West became less wild, with the civilized world threatening to take down the gangs once and for all....

A Kindle that looks classy? Yep! The Voyage is Kindle turning on the style. Earlier Kindles were known for being sturdy and functional, and well, smart at best. This one? Ah, it is definitely not flimsy but whoever we have shown it to has remarked on its sleek finish. At 7.6 mm, it is definitely in the slim category – the iPhone 6 Plus is 7.1 mm – and at 180 grammes, is just a fraction heavier than the iPhone 6 Plus, which is 172 grammes....

With Instapaper and The Magazine, Marco Arment effectively invented the read-it-later and independent publishing idioms on iOS. Naturally, competitors followed but Arment was already a ‘front runner’ in the market. With Overcast, Arment is the follower. Overcast joins a whole host of other developers in a segment of the App Store that is already well established. It’s a different set of challenges. In many respects, Overcast acts like its the only podcast app on the iPhone....

Creating an ebook isn’t difficult. If you’ve written your book in Pages, you can export to EPUB–the format needed for iBooks–direct from the app. There is also the excellent Calibre app (featured in our How-to guide), which will convert just about any file format to any type of ebook. There’s also iBooks Author, but that has the disadvantage that if you use it to create your book, you’re not allowed to sell the iBooks version through other channels....

Following Dave Bautista’s vicious attack on Ric Flair that ended Monday’s WWE Raw, the former Evolution teammates trade threats on Twitter. Over the last several weeks, WWE had been heavily promoting last night’s episode of Raw, which emanated from Atlanta, and was to feature Flair’s 70th birthday celebration. “The Nature Boy” had experienced some of the greatest highlights of his career in Atlanta, which was a hotbed for former WWE competitor WCW back when Flair was cementing his status as one of the greatest world champions of all time....

RIM has filed an ‘opposition action’ (via Patently Apple) in Canada against Apple’s trademark application for ‘WebKit’, the rendering platform based on KHTML that Apple help create before making open-source. The move grants RIM more time to build their case before a November 22, 2011 deadline. Apple originally filed the trademark application in May of 2010 which, while getting a little bit of media attention, kind of flew under the radar of most....

At the start of the week we saw Apple officially pull the plug on Beats Music after using it as the foundation for Apple Music which includes a streaming radio station dubbed Beats 1 as a salute. On the hardware front, Apple is totally marching forward with the headphone and speaker business it acquired after buying Beats for $3 billion a year and a half ago. The first totally new product to come from Apple under the Beats brand is the recently announced Beats Pill+ ($195, reg....

Robinhood trading restrictions for GME and other stocks were bad for customers, the company has admitted. However, CEO Vlad Tenev denied that the company had been pressured into this by hedge fund and business partner Citadel, saying that the company had been left with no choice. Tenev said that the volume and value of trades meant that its deposit requirements rocketed … Bloomberg reports: The company initially stopped customers buying any of the stocks being pumped by WallStreetBets before allowing “limited” purchases....

Director Dexter Fletcher debunks rumors that Paramount reportedly wants to cut a provocative scene in the new biopic Rocketman. The alleged scene in question includes the exposed buttocks of the film’s star, Taron Egerton, and Game of Thrones’ Richard Madden. Rocketman is a biographical musical fantasy drama that explores the life of English musician Elton John. Born Reginald Dwight, the now-iconic singer released his studio debut Empty Sky in 1969, and has since released 29 more albums....
