Picture-in-Picture has been a feature on Apple’s platforms for a few years, allowing a single video to pop out into a floating window while the user browses the rest of the OS. Apple appears to be working on upgrading that capability, at least for live sports matches in the Apple TV app. Code references first spotted by Steve Moser in the iOS 16.5 betas describe a new “Multiview” experience for the Apple TV app, supporting up to four simultaneous streams at once.

God Bless Robert Smith. Although the neverending war against Ticketmaster has been going for decades, it’s only recently that the counter-movement is being taken seriously.

In a coincidental turn of events, the discourse surrounding Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber, and briefly Kylie Jenner, has resulted in a noticeable drop in Instagram followers for the latter two stars.

Who are you, really? That question is at the core of Marvel’s new series, Secret Invasion, which follows Samuel L. Jackson’s spymaster Nick Fury as he uncovers a conspiracy to quietly install double-agents into positions of power around the world. In a traditional espionage story, these might be operatives from hostile rival nations, but in the Marvel Cinematic Universe the infiltration has an otherworldly origin: shapeshifting green-skinned extra-terrestrials known as Skrulls, who can perfectly simulate any human being at will. Figuring out who is who becomes especially daunting.

In 2013, when I was a freshman at Howard University, one of my friends was borderline obsessed with Childish Gambino’s music. Before that, I hadn’t heard much about Gambino — or his alter ego, then-comedian Donald Glover — but I was surprised when, in the midst of a conversation praising his artistry, my friend, who is also a Black woman, flatly said that the rapper didn’t like Black women, something she said was evident not only in his dating choices (at the time, the rumor was that he only dated Asian or white women) but in his lyrics. “Everyone knows that,” she said dismissively, with no anger or jealousy in her voice.

Apple TV+ became the first streaming service to win the prestigious Oscars Best Picture award last year, for Sundance acquisition CODA, but its overall film slate has been somewhat underwhelming so far. Via Bloomberg, that may be set to change as Apple is significantly expanding its original films division to focus on blockbuster titles that will debut widely in theatres first, before arriving on the streaming service. Apple will purportedly spend $1 billion annually on its movie slate.

Jackie Chan announced at the Red Sea International Film Festival last December that “Rush Hour 4” is officially in development. “We’re talking about ‘Rush Hour 4’ right now,” the acting icon said, adding that he would be meeting with the film’s director later that night to work on the script. No official “Rush Hour 4” details exist outside of Chan’s tease, but consider his co-star Chris Tucker more than eager to return to the franchise.
