Hollywood has decided tonight's the night to shove back their slate of films — including James Bond's latest outing No Time To Die, the Uncharted movie, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. No Time to Die now has a release date of October 8th, Ghostbusters will be pushed back five months to November 11th, and Uncharted now won't arrive until 2022, Exhibitor Relations reports.

Bond was the big film whose third delay was enough to force theater chains Regal and Cineworld to close all their US and UK locations. It was originally slated for April 2020, then got pushed back to November 2020 and now to April 2021. If you're counting, this news marks the fourth delay. Instead of releasing the movie on streaming, as other studios have been doing, MGM...

Google is threatening to pull its search engine from an entire country — Australia — if a proposed law goes into effect that would force Google to pay news publishers for their content.

"If this version of the Code were to become law it would give us no real choice but to stop making Google Search available in Australia," Google Australia and New Zealand VP Meg Silva told Australia's Senate Economics Legislation Committee today.

"We have had to conclude after looking at the legislation in detail we do not see a way, with the financial and operational risks, that we could continue to offer a service in Australia," she added, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

The company, which has been lobbying against Australia's plan for months,...

Alphabet is shutting down Loon, its internet balloon company

Alphabet is shutting down Loon, its division that provides internet from floating balloons, according to a post on the blog of Alphabet's X moonshot division.

"The road to commercial viability has proven much longer and riskier than hoped," Astro Teller, who leads X, wrote in the blog. "In the coming months, we'll begin winding down operations and it will no longer be an Other Bet within Alphabet."

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, launched Loon in June 2013, and Loon "graduated" from a moonshot to an independent company within Alphabet in 2018. Loon launched its first commercial internet service in Kenya in July, comprised of a fleet of about 35 balloons that covered an area of around 50,000 square kilometers. Loon has also...

You can now play Resident Evil Village’s ‘Maiden’ demo on PS5

If you've got a PlayStation 5, you probably know there's not a lot to play right now — particularly if you've already finished the likes of Miles Morales, Demon's Souls and Astro's Playroom. But here's something to (very briefly) tide you over: you can now download the Resident Evil Village "Maiden" demo ahead of the full game's just-announced May 7th release date. It wasn't available in the PS Store at first, but it's been there for about an hour now.

In the PlayStation Store on my PS5, the game was featured front and center in the "What's hot" section for me, and I was able to start the download with a couple button presses. But if you're away from your PS5 and want to remotely download the demo so it's ready to play later, there's a...

Only hours after gaining full control of Congress, House Democrats are going after Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube for the platforms' perceived roles in inciting violence at the Capitol earlier this month.

In letters addressed to the chief executives of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Tom Malinowski (D-NJ), along with dozens of other members, called for the companies to make sweeping changes to their platforms to curb violent and extremist activity on their networks.

The lawmakers accused the companies of using certain product features and algorithms that boost content that evokes extreme emotions as a means of increasing engagement, pointing out specific features they want to see changed on each platform. For...

A new meme generator lets you drop Bernie Sanders and his chair around the world

We've put him somewhere warm.

You may have seen the many memes of Sen. Bernie Sanders sitting at President Joe Biden's inauguration (we even did a rundown of the best ones), but now there's a website that lets you easily drop Bernie and his chair all over the world with the help of Google Maps' Street View (via Android Central). Simply put in a location or address in the website, and after one button click, you'll have an image of Bernie sitting wherever you specified.

The site, made by NYU masters student Nick Sawhney, is pretty bare-bones, and it's not exactly fast — though the fact that it's getting a lot of traffic could be partially to blame. As you can imagine, there are a lot of people, like me, using it for shenanigans.

Here are a couple of examples Sawhney...

Posted: 21 Jan 2021 02:12 PM PST

The eighth mainline Resident Evil game now has a release date. Today at a live-streamed event, developer Capcom announced that Resident Evil Village will be coming to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC on May 7th, 2021 — as well as current-generation consoles, the PS4 and Xbox One. The company also announced that a demo will be available for PS5 owners later today. Capcom says that Village "will be eligible to upgrade from PlayStation 4 to the digital PlayStation 5 version and will support Smart Delivery for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles."

The event also provided a first proper look at the game with a new, rather unsettling trailer, which you can see above. It gives a good look at the disturbing castle where Village takes...

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a tiny $4 microcontroller running off the company’s very own chip

The Raspberry Pi Foundation's tiny computers can be used for anything from homemade cameras to cucumber sorters, and now, the group is branching out into microcontrollers and custom silicon. The Raspberry Pi Pico is the first step. It's a new $4 microcontroller that's smaller than the average Pi, features a custom chip powerful enough to be used in machine learning projects (according to The Raspberry Pi Foundation), and is on sale now.

In its introductory blog post, the company explains that today's Raspberry Pis are already often used alongside a smaller microcontroller:

The Raspberry Pi takes care of heavyweight computation, network access, and storage, while the microcontroller handles analogue input and low-latency I/O and,...
