the alien characters (^ Sinestro looks like the real deal) look better in CG than Hal's for some reason...

And I agree....I'm not big on humour in it...Hal should be more of a serious type guy. I don't remember him making corny jokes/remarks in the comics...lol WTF! I knew casting Ryan Reynolds would lead to that...I mean he is good in his humourous roles...but just doesn't seem to fit this character though.

Ryan Reynolds has said that his superhero costume in the Green Lantern movie had to be created using visual effects.

Speaking to Empire, Reynolds defended the decision not to use a spandex outfit, saying that CGI will help reflect his character Hal Jordan's changing moods throughout the comic book movie.

"It has to be virtual rather than spandex," he said. "This is a suit from an alien planet. It's not The Dark Knight - I don't put the suit on and my voice drops several octaves.

"The suit is powered specifically on his will, his emotion, his creativity and his imagination. I love that. Everything Hal creates are images from his childhood. Or things fuelled specifically from his own mind."

Green Lantern opens in cinemas this summer.

In Green Lantern Blake Lively plays Carol Ferris, who as VP runs Ferris Aircraft and is also a pilot. In the trailer her helmet has an 8-pointed star symbol which hints that Carol has her own secret: she's a member of the Star Sapphire Corps.

While a Green Lanterns power ring draws from the users willpower, a Star Sapphires power ring uses love. Other Corps use different colors, each signifying a different point along the emotional spectrum; anger, fear etc. These differences often bring the Corps into conflict, even if both are trying to do the right thing. Carol and Hal, who also have a romantic undercurrent, are prime examples.

Below is an image of Star Sapphire from the comics. We can only hope Ms. Lively wears something similar ;)

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
