LOS ANGELES (AP) — Despite his jokes that he'll never get asked back after the historic envelope flub at this year's Academy Awards, Jimmy Kimmel is set to host the Oscars once more. Ratings for the 89th Oscars this past February were the lowest since 2008 with 32.9 million viewers tuning in, however, even with the drama of the envelope gaffe in which Faye Dunaway, reading an incorrect card, announced "La La Land" as the Best Picture winner.

Bryan Cranston stars as Howard Wakefield, a successful, upper class suburbanite with a wife and kids who, on an otherwise ordinary day, doesn't come home from work. Cranston is simply remarkable in the role, a tricky one since his character has precious little dialogue with anyone else. Yet the actor shows everything here — arrogance, sorrow, anger, love, fear. Wakefield's wife is played with delicate sadness by a terrific Jennifer Garner, who somehow is able to convey ranges of emotion mutely from behind a glass window. Читать дальше...

Filmmakers have long projected that artificial intelligence could spell the end of humanity, and some top scientists and tech leaders — including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk — share their concern. "The first thing we think of when we have a machine that has capacity is not to put it into something that looks human," Tyson said. Because the human form is not very good at anything, so why have it look human? [...] you get the expression of the mad professor who makes a mistake in going too far... Читать дальше...

The in-house efforts have largely been weak because few streaming services bother designing apps for them, and they don't have big teams to look for security threats.

Besides the rows of icons for various apps and streaming content, there's now a row just for shows currently available through an antenna.
