UPDATE [Friday, September 16, 2011 at 7:50am ET]: RIM just reported quarterly earnings. They shipped 200,000 PlayBooks, barely half the figure analysts projected.

We’ve suspected Research In Motion’s seven-inch BlackBerry PlayBook tablet may have been met with muted response from the iPad-maddened fans of technology. Bloomberg polled a group of analysts and concluded that RIM during last quarter may have shipped just one PlayBook for every nineteen iPads....

After his involvement in Captain America: Civil War’s massive airport battle (where he fought with Team Cap), Scott Lang took a plea deal with the government so he could return home. In the original Ant-Man film, Scott’s primary motivation is being able to go back to his daughter, Cassie. That’s what made his participation in Civil War’s conflict so strange. Because he sided with Steve Rogers against the Sokovia Accords, Scott was once again on the wrong side of the law and found himself in a top-secret underwater prison....

In any period drama, the story cannot get by without a few romances along the way. Anne With An E is no different.

Marvel’s Phase 2 slate of movies was features a wide slate of superheroes, but none were (literally) smaller than Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang. Rudd starred in the 2015 summer blockbuster as the titular Ant Man, a film cenetered around a thief turned collaborator with the biochemist Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), who gains the suit that shrinks him down to the size on an ant, allowing him to talk to and control other insects....

The biggest problem for the Switch has been a lack of fresh content, with fewer new games leading to lower hardware sales, while cardboard add-on Nintendo Labo has failed to generate much interest. The Nintendo Switch was launched in 2017, and offered a unique way for players to seamlessly “switch” between couch-bound gaming and gaming on the move....

Depending on who you ask, Neil Gaiman’s sprawling fantasy novel American Gods is either the perfect source material for a TV show or movie, or completely unfilmable. Those on the former side are in luck, however, as American Gods is heading to Starz with Gaiman himself writing multiple episodes of the adaptation, and Hannibal’s Bryan Fuller serving as co-showrunner with Michael Green (Heroes). The first major piece of casting news came earlier this year, when it was announced that Ricky Whittle (The 100) will be playing the show’s protagonist, Shadow Moon....

Thanks to social media, we get plenty of practice, and we’ve honed our whiny skills to near-perfection. We need to talk about all this. Please lie down on my purple chaise-longue and think of all the things that fill you with distaste, disaffection and even downright loathing. Now narrow those feelings in the direction of gadgets. Which ones fill you with despair? Which ones force you to scream at them?...
