It probably goes without saying that Apple will eventually launch HomePod in markets all around the world that they operate in, but more recently we have heard that the company could be gearing up to launch it in France and Germany. For those living in those countries, you’re in luck as Apple has announced the HomePod’s official release date.

According to Apple’s announcement, the HomePod is slated to be released in Canada, France, and Germany come 18th of June which means that these customers only have a couple of weeks of waiting before they are able to get their hands on it. Pricing is unclear for those particular regions, but as it stands the HomePod is priced at $349 in the US.

Right now the HomePod is still limited in its availability where it is only sold in the US, the UK, and Australia. The expansion to Canada, France, and Germany brings the total number of countries the smart speaker is available in to six, although we had previously heard that Apple could also be getting it ready for a launch in Japan, but this particular announcement has skipped on those details.

Apple also announced the release of iOS 11.4 which will bring about AirPlay 2, meaning that HomePod users will be able to link up multiple units of the speakers together for multi-room audio.

It is not surprising that we’re seeing an uptick in AI being used in the medical field, where even governments are backing such initiatives. There is good reason for this, because unlike humans, computers don’t get tired and they aren’t biased, which is why sometimes AI can help pick up on things doctors miss.

In fact a recent study has found that when a computer was pitted against human dermatologists, it actually performed better when it came to detecting skin cancer. The study found that the AI was able to pick up on 95% of melanomas versus 86.6% in dermatologists. The gap isn’t as big as you would think, but the fact that it was able to pick up on skin cancer close to 10% more than regular doctors, it could mean more lives are saved.

However to be fair, the study was conducted against only 58 dermatologists from around the world, with half being considered “experts” with more than 5 years of experience, while the other half consisted of dermatologists who had 2-5 years of experience, and those who were relatively fresh in the field with under 2 years of experience.

In addition to being able to detect melanomas better than doctors, it also performed fewer misdiagnosis which meant that it spared more patients unnecessary surgery. That being said, AI won’t be replacing doctors anytime soon and are instead meant to help augment treatments where like we said, it can help pick up on things a doctor could have missed.

Way before the DCEU and the MCU, there were already movies based on superheroes, such as the 1997 live-action Spawn movie. For a movie that’s a little over 20 years old, it actually holds up pretty well, although we have been hearing that there are plans for a reboot which was officially announced last year.

For those who are looking forward to seeing what the movie will bring to the table especially with the advancement in filming and CGI technology, you’ll be pleased that the movie is progressing as it has since found its leader actor. In a report from Deadline, it has been confirmed that Jamie Foxx is set to star as Al Simmons, also known as Spawn, in the upcoming movie.

However if you were hoping for some big budget action movie, that won’t be happening as Todd McFarlane, Spawn’s creator, expects the movie’s budget to be around $10-12 million. He also plans for it to be a dark and gritty movie that could possibly get an R-rating. The R-rating is something that movie makers might have tried to avoid in the past due to it limiting the number of people watching it, but the success of Deadpool and Deadpool 2 has resulted in more film makers to be open to the idea.

As to how he decided to last Foxx for the role, McFarlane said, “Jamie came to my office five years ago, and he had an idea about Spawn and we talked about it. I never forgot him, and when I was writing this script, you sort of plug people in, and he was my visual guy and I never let go of him.”

“When I got done and my agents and everybody was talking about what actor, I said, I’m going to Jamie first and until he says no I don’t want to think about anyone else because I’ve never had anyone else in my head. Luckily, he hadn’t forgotten either. I said, ‘Hey, I’m back to talk about Spawn again, and he was like, let’s do it.’” No word on when the movie will be released so we guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
