It’s a huge pain when you don’t know whether your Bluetooth earbuds are going to die or not. Google is going to fix that.

Android users with Fast Pair Bluetooth devices will be getting some new features before the end of 2019, including more detailed battery life information and compatibility with Find My Device, Android announced on its developers blog Friday.

The new battery features will allow users to see battery life percentages on individual devices.

Plus, users will be able to receive notifications when they hit certain percentages. Read more…

Marvel unleashed a torrent of news at Comic-Con Saturday including the reveal of a whole bunch of new movies and series for its post-Infinity Saga Phase Four along with new characters joining the fray.

New characters means new actors, and because there’s so many big additions, we decided to round up everyone who’s joining (or returning to) the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a big new role. 

Let’s kick it off with one of the most surprising and exciting announcements of the event, which is actually slated for Phase Five (sorry). Read more…

Sea turtles aren’t hatched underwater. Instead, what happens is a mama turtle makes her way to a sandy beach, digs a hole, and deposits a bunch of eggs — as many as 350! — then covers them with sand and heads back to her ocean home.

The eggs hatch about two months later, at which point the tiny newborn sea turtles, guided by instinct, dig their way out of the sand   and shimmy their way into the water. It’s a beautiful gift of nature. It’s also derpy AF to watch in action.

This video gives you that unique opportunity. Watch as dozens of baby sea turtles excitedly derp their way to the end of the beach and let the lapping waves carry them off. It’s downright hypnotic, and a lovely way to spend three minutes. Read more…

The next trip to the moon isn’t supposed to happen until 2024, but NASA is now ready to put living humans on the surface.

On July 20, the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, NASA confirmed that work on the Orion crew vehicle is complete. The reusable capsule, designed to carry four to six astronauts, is meant to offer a “sustainable” option for carrying humans to other worlds, including the moon and, later, Mars.

NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine called the new development “an opportunity to take a giant leap forward for all of humanity.” The Orion capsule is supposed to carry humans to the moon in 2024 as part of the larger Artemis program. Read more…

Footage of the first moon landing taken in 1969 during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission was purchased at auction through Sotheby’s for $1.82 million on Saturday.

The collection of footage totals about 2 hours and 24 minutes across three reels of film recorded at Mission Control in Houston, Texas. This footage is the “earliest, sharpest, and most accurate surviving video images of man’s first steps on the moon,” according to Sotheby’s.

The tapes include recordings of Mission Control as it waited for the lunar-surface camera to be deployed, as well as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s first steps on the moon and the moment that the astronauts planted the American flag on the surface. Minus the 9 minutes of Mission Control footage, the tapes contain the entire duration of the lunar extravehicular activity (EVA). Read more…

Don’t forget, kids: it’s all Disney now anyway.

Marvel’s bid to get Avengers: Endgame one, last broken box office record has paid off. Until July 21, 2019, Avatar was the top-earning release of all time worldwide, with a total of $2.789 billion earned at the box office. Now, Endgame is out in front, with an estimated $1.5 million in weekend ticket sales bringing its grand total to an Avatar-topping $2.790 billion.

The broken record was all but assured by Saturday, which ended with just $500,000 separating the two movies. Disney even sent out a press blast celebrating that, complete with a statement from Walt Disney Studios co-chairman and chief creative officer, Alan Horn. Read more…

There’s a new Thor in town, and it’s Jane Foster.

Marvel Studios announced as much during their Comic-Con panel Saturday, revealing that the fourth Thor movie, now titled Thor: Love and Thunder, would reveal Thor’s erstwhile girlfriend as the new God of Thunder. The film will be based on the Mighty Thor comics, written by Jason Aaron. 

Natalie Portman, who played the character in Thor, Thor: The Dark World, and Avengers: Endgame, will once again play Jane.

Chris Hemsworth will return as Thor Odinson (and wow, is it going to get confusing real quick to have two characters called “Thor” running around). Thor will now be the first Marvel Cinematic Universe lead to get four standalone films. Read more…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe take on Hawkeye isn’t everyone’s favorite, but Marvel looks to be tapping into a killer source for his next act.

A Hawkeye series reveal at San Diego Comic-Con for Disney+ release in fall 2021 was accompanied by a logo, and a small-but-vital piece of information. The logo has the same art style as writer Matt Fraction’s fantastic Marvel Comics series and the Disney+ take will feature his young protégé, Kate Bishop.

Get ready to meet Blade, again.

In a surprise announcement, Marvel Studios confirmed that a new film based on the superhero is in the works, with Mahershala Ali in the title role. The character is a human-vampire hybrid who protects humankind by hunting vampires.

Previously, Wesley Snipes played Blade in a trilogy of movies released between 1998 and 2004, right at the dawn of the current comic-book movie boom. 

Blade isn’t Ali’s first foray into the world of Marvel. He also played the villain Cornell Stokes a.k.a. Cottonmouth in Netflix’s Luke Cage — which is technically also part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kinda. It’s complicated. Read more…
