WarnerMedia plans to charge $9.99 per month for its advertising-supported HBO Max service, according to people familiar with the matter speaking to CNBC. To CNBC, AT&T chief executive John Stankey said the ad-supported HBO Max will “expand the product’s potential audience to more cost-conscious consumers.” If the rumors come to fruition, HBO Max’s entry plan would cost less than Netflix’s, which starts at $13.99 per month. At the same time, Disney’s Hulu charges 50% less for its ad-supported version ($5....

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 6, episode 4, “Code Yellow,” finally begins to answer some of the season’s deepest mysteries. The story kicks off when Clark Gregg’s Sarge (a.k.a. Not-Coulson) begins his actual mission on Earth. It seems Sarge and his team are hunting strange creatures who have infiltrated the human race, parasitic beings who take possession of host bodies. Unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a surefire way of killing the parasites, and one of them actually breaks free and goes on a rampage in S....
Just as Nike’s dismantled FuelBand team continues heading to Apple ahead of an expected “iWatch” launch this fall, Adidas thought it would be the perfect time to introduce its own FuelBand-like fitness tracking wearable. Today the company introduced FitSmart, a wrist worn fitness tracker that pairs with the company’s miCoach fitness apps for iOS and Android. The device packs in a heart rate sensor, accelerometer, and is capable of tracking the usual fitness metrics including calories, pace, distance and stride rate....
Agents of SHIELD season 6 villain, Izel, isn’t inspired directly by the comics, but the character does still possess roots within the Marvel source material. First introducing herself to Fitz and Simmons as a supposedly friendly face, Izel offered the two stranded travelers passage back to Earth, for which the couple were sorely grateful. It didn’t take long, however, for suspicions to be aroused and it transpired that the harmless artifacts Izel was seeking on Earth were actually the diabolical monoliths that have plagued the Agents of SHIELD team for the past few seasons....
See the first footage from the final four episodes of Agents of SHIELD season 6 with a new trailer. Agents of SHIELD is currently nearing the end of its sixth season, which has been a wild one, to say the least.

Anybody out there with more information on the subject? Update: Masinter posts this in the comments: No part of HTML5 is, or was ever, “blocked” in the W3C HTML Working Group — not HTML5, not Canvas 2D Graphics, not Microdata, not Video — not by me, not by Adobe. Neither Adobe nor I oppose, are fighting, are trying to stop, slow down, hinder, oppose, or harm HTML5, Canvas 2D Graphics, Microdata, video in HTML, or any of the other significant features in HTML5....
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was referenced in a Saturday Night Live sketch featuring US President Donald Trump. Though none of the actual characters from the show - nor SNL actors portraying said characters - appear in the sketch, Alec Baldwin gives the show a shout-out, and the Marvel series’ showrunner even shared the moment on social media. Even before Trump was elected president, Baldwin had been frequently portraying him on SNL, and his appearances even earned Baldwin an Emmy for his performance....
The AirPods integration is fantastic on iOS with system level support on the iPhone and iPad. And to a certain extent, they’re easy to use on Apple Watch and Apple TV as well. However, the Mac seems to be a lone wolf as it arguably has the worse integration within Apple’s ecosystem. However that changes with AirBuddy, a brand new utility for macOS that brings iOS-like AirPods integration to the Mac....

First up, and most critical to the updates on the software side of the story, is the new Creative Profile content synchronization service.

As the T-Mobile and Sprint merger officially became a done deal, T-Mobile CEO John Legere stepped down as COO Mike Sievert took the role at the beginning of April. That was a month earlier than first planned but Legere was planning to stay on the board of directors until June but now he has decided to depart effective immediately… Reported by The Verge, Legere’s plans have changed and he’s abruptly leaving T-Mobile’s board of directors in order “to pursue other options....
WARNING: Spoilers for last week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - The most recent episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was packed full of shocking moments, but the big Yo-Yo twist is actually a nod to her comic book origin. The current fifth season may be the last for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it’s making sure to go out on a bang. Time travel and a post-apocalyptic future in space have already occupied the first part of the season, and the series is bringing back a number of elements from its past....
A supply-chain report today suggests that Apple’s new over-ear AirPods Max headphones are made in Vietnam. It gives the impression that this is instead of China, but the wording isn’t 100% clear … It could instead mean that production is taking place in both countries. Digitimes carries the report. Apple has been working for some years now to reduce its reliance on China, efforts which were intensified by the trade war provoked by the Trump administration....
After the trailer premiered to overwhelmingly bad responses, Disney’s upcoming remake of Aladdin remains its riskiest bet of 2019. Live-action remakes have become as defining a part of Disney’s business model as their beloved animated originals and their enviable array of acquisitions. While the 1996 live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians technically kick-started the trend, it didn’t become their greatest cash cow until 2010, when Tim Burton’s reimagining of Alice in Wonderland grossed over $1 billion worldwide....
Mail apps have been a huge topic of discussion lately. A few months ago Newton announced that it would be shutting down its apps on all platforms, while others such as Spark have recently been updated to support new features available on iOS and macOS. Today, Airmail is updating its Mac app with a slew of new features. For the Mac app, Airmail now officially supports macOS Mojave, which means it works with the native Dark Mode, accent color layouts, and improves support for Voiceover and Omnifocus 3....
Adam Sandler extends his agreement with Netflix for four more films. Back in 2014, when Sandler was coming off critically panned works like Jack and Jill, That’s My Boy, and Grown Ups 2, his Happy Madison production company signed an exclusive deal with Netflix. That partnership got off to a great start when The Ridiculous 6 broke viewership records for the streaming service, and things have only grown more fruitful from there....
