Previously, when you were sent a friend request by someone you had two options; confirm or ignore. Now, instead of the ignore button you will see the “Not Now” button. Pressing this button will send the would-be-friend into friend purgatory, the place where they are only half your friend. We’ll call people in this category “Half-Friends.” Why are they called a Facebook “Half-Friend?” As mentioned above, these are the people in limbo mode....

The Fallout series has some pretty insane weapons, and Fallout 4 is no different. In the latest installment of the franchise, the world is filled with all kinds of weapons you can find, use, and modify. However, not all of them are all that useful. Though there are plenty of insanely powerful weapons in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the Commonwealth, there are just as many that are straight up horrible. Sure, when you’re starting out, commonly found items are useful to ward off low-level enemies before you find more useful weapons, but once Death Claws and other horrendous wasteland monsters get involved, you’ll want something more powerful....

It looks as though Marvel’s Falcon and Winter Soldier Disney+ series will feature comic-book-accurate Hydra designs. Hydra made their MCU debut in Captain America: The First Avenger, and Steve Rogers initially believed they died with the Red Skull in the Second World War. Of course, he was wrong on every count - as he learned to his cost in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Cap was horrified to learn Hydra had evolved into a parasite within SHIELD, and he decided the best course of action was to burn it all down - destroying both Hydra and SHIELD....

A modified version of the Facebook Messenger has revealed that person-to-person payment interfaces and other elements are already integrated into the app. The discovery was made by iOS developer Andre Aude.

Facebook is expanding its recently launched Find Wi-Fi feature to work globally after initially launching in a few countries last year. The feature lets businesses share with Facebook that they offer free Wi-Fi to visitors, and Facebook in turn can promote those businesses to users in need of a better Internet connection. The feature considers both your current location and time of day to recommend the nearest available hotspots, and business information including hours of operation and even the Wi-Fi network name is easily visible to users on a map or list view....

From here users will be able to add captions to each photo, write an introduction for the post, or rearrange the order of the photos....

Family Guy has released a funny compilation video tribute to its late voice cast member Adam West. The entertainment world was saddened by the loss last month of West, who passed on June 9 at the age of 88. Of course, West’s most famous role was that of Bruce Wayne/Batman on the iconic 1960s television series Batman, which ran from 1966-1968, but lived on through syndication. And while West made a name for himself in the live-action realm playing the Caped Crusader, animated fans came to love him as the voice of Mayor Adam West in creator Seth MacFarlane’s hilarious TV comedy Family Guy beginning in season 2 in 2000 in the episode Fifteen Minutes of Shame....

The social company is in the process of developing a Messenger-based Siri competitor called Moneypenny, a new report indicates. Details are a bit scarce at the moment, but The Information says that the system will differ slightly from other personal assistants. Rather than sending your queries to a computer for processing, the system is said to have “real people” answering questions....

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s title for the upcoming Dinsey+ Marvel TV show is essentially a lie, as neither character uses those respective names anymore. Easily one of the most anticipated projects from the MCU’s upcoming Phase 4 slate, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier sees the two former Captain America sidekicks - Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) - co-lead their own streaming series that will show what they’ve been up to after Avengers: Endgame....

Sebastian Stan confirms Falcon & Winter Soldier will begin filming this October. After eleven years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe largely focusing on the original six Avengers, the time has finally come to put a spotlight on different heroes. This will happen in the movies as new franchises become the focal point, but Marvel Studios is also set to utilize Disney’s streaming service, Disney+, to do highlight other underserved characters....

The Brian Griffin character has changed a little over the years, but he’s always been an intellectual with a dry sense of humor and a strong relationship with both Peter and Stewie who is infatuated with Lois. He began in season 1 as the voice of reason who tagged along with Peter’s antics, but he’s since evolved into an douchey, uninformed, uber-liberal wannabe writer. Either way, he’s always been very rigidly characterized, and with that has come some of the funniest lines in the whole history of the show....

After Unity announced in March that it was beginning to work with Facebook to help bring web games using the engine to the social network, Facebook announced today that it’s releasing a new SDK to bring 3D Unity games from Android, iOS, and the web to Facebook.

Facebook continues to implement measures to prevent fake news and misinformation on the web. The company is now testing a new method to ensure that users will not share old articles that are no longer valid or contain outdated information. Currently Facebook already provides a context button for each link shared on the social network, which reveals information about the source of that content. The new strategy is more aggressive as it alerts users whenever they try to share an article that was first published over 3 months ago....

Although Disney officially owns the rights to Family Guy and American Dad, neither show will appear on the Disney+ streaming subscription service. Disney completed its acquisition of Fox assets earlier this year, a move that gave Disney all rights to FOX Network’s television programming. After Disney announced the launch of Disney+, many assumed much of that FOX programming, if not all, would land on the new streaming subscription service. Disney previously announced that the FOX TV series The Simpsons would join the Disney+ line-up, making it one of the most anticipated pre-existing shows to land on the service....
