Ma Yun, known professionally as Jack Ma sure is one absolutely incredible specimen of a human being. The legendary Chinese entrepreneur, better known for his work as the founder and executive chairman of the Alibaba Group, is prepping to take on a new unexpected role: starring in action movies. The Alibaba boss is set throw down some mad kung fu chops in an all-new martial arts movie, produced by none other than action extraordinaire Jet Li, China’s CGTN reports. The entrepreneur has already confirmed the news on his official Weibo (known as the Chinese Twitter) along with a picture of the film’s poster. Titled Gong Shou Da or the art of guard and defense  the twenty-minute short will feature appearances from Li himself as well as other notable local action stars, including Donnie Yen and Jing Wu. Details of Ma’s involvement in the movie remain vague as of now. While reports claim the entrepreneur will act in the movie, IMDB lists him as the director. In any case, we can’t w...

Apple Inc. has a reputation, rightly or wrongly, for taking security on its iOS platform very seriously. Developer Felix Krause recently called attention to a simple hack that can be used to steal passwords on iOS, and now he’s back with another potential Apple security hole. According to Krause, the way Apple manages the camera app on iOS opens the door for apps to spy on users and upload footage to the internet. Krause is the founder of Fastlane, a developer toolkit that was acquired by Google this year. While he does work for Google, Krause says this is a personal project. All the code (and a sample app) is posted to GitHub, so others are free to check his work. The gist of the problem is that granting the camera permission to an app gives it far too much power. The sample app shows how a seemingly innocent app that’s following all of Apple’s rules could actually be snooping on everything you do. When you allow an iOS app to access your camera, it can take photos and vide...

There’s only one way to build a cheeseburger and Google’s emoji has it all wrong, which was politely pointed out to Google over the weekend. It appears that this cheeseburger emoji is a serious situation because the head honcho at Google promised that the emoji for Google’s cheeseburger would be addressed first thing on Monday. In fact, the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, said their team “would drop everything” they are doing and get on this cheeseburger emoji dilemma right away. So what is the problem with Google’s cheeseburger emoji? According to Twitter user Thomas Baekdal, the cheese is in the wrong place. Baekdal tweeted a screenshot over the weekend of the Google cheeseburger emoji along with Apple’s cheeseburger emoji to show a “glaring error” on the part of Google. That error: the cheese is in the wrong place. Once Baekdal’s tweet hit online, the masses backed him up. Google has its cheeseburger emoji with the cheese at the bottom at the very bottom underneath the bur...

Sony Corporation is holding a PlayStation media briefing today, live from Paris Games Week, in which the publisher says it will have some "big game announcements." Of those announcements, seven games are expected to be revealed when the conference kicks off today at 4 PM GMT / 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET (that's 3 AM AET on Halloween in Australia). An hour earlier, the publisher kicks off its pre-show. Sony has announced new content in its pre-shows in the past, so that could be worth watching. It's unclear at this stage exactly what Sony will show off at the conference, but the event will likely include trailers and gameplay from the company's upcoming games, similar to its traditional E3 show. At the event two years ago, Sony revealed Uncharted 4's multiplayer mode, showed off more footage of Horizon Zero Dawn, confirmed Street Fighter V's release date and unveiled Quantic Dream's latest game, Detroit: Become Human. Sony also has its annual PSX celebration wh...

Arguably the most important model Rolex has ever produced, the Daytona is renowned for the purity of its design and the tell-tale particulars that set one iteration apart from another which often driving collectors into a frenzy when bidding for important examples. But none is more important than the one worn by the man who lent his name to the model, Newman's own Reference 6239, which features a cream dial and a personal inscription on the case back from his wife, Joanne Woodward 'Drive Carefully Me' reflecting the actor's passion for motor racing, the discipline for which the sports chronograph was originally conceived. In 1984 Newman gifted the watch to a boyfriend of their daug...

Supreme and Nike’s Air Humara collection had barely hit shelves when news of the next collaboration between the two brands hit social media. According to sources, Supreme is set to collaborate with NikeLab on a set of three NBA jerseys alongside the shooting sleeve that surfaced in Supreme’s FW17 lookbook.

Nike took over the manufacturing of NBA apparel this year and, while the new designs were lauded, players have had trouble with their jerseys ripping mid-game. Stay tuned for more information.

Warner Brothers is already teasing another DC Entertainment adaptation. But instead of focusing attention on superheroes, this new movie would star a big bad villain, Deathstroke. Despite the recent pivot to happier, feel-good fare thanks to "Wonder Woman," and with the swashbuckling "Aquaman" movie finally wrapped, Warner Bros. looks to take a risk on a darker, fairly bloody character. The Times can confirm that "The Raid" director Gareth Evans is in talks to write and direct a "Deathstroke" feature starring former "True Blood" werewolf Joe Manganiello. Fun fact: Manganiello was already on the radar to play Deathstroke. Fans even assumed he would appear in either "Justice League" or the standalone Batman movie, especially after Batman himself (Ben Affleck) released some footage of the character (presumably on the "Justice League" set) via Twitter. However, it looks like most of that cameo has been scrapped...
