Fans of the Jessica Jones series will already be aware that the forthcoming season will be the last for this Marvel show. Netflix today released a trailer for the final season of Jessica Jones and also confirmed when all episodes of the show will be available for on-demand streaming.
The dynamic in the trailer is one that fans are quite familiar with. It shows that Jones will be up against a scary villain in the season, as she has been in previous seasons as well. The trailer is light on clues as far as the plot is concerned but does highlight a creepy voice which threatens to kill Jessica Jones.
When Jessica (Krysten Ritter) crosses paths with a highly intelligent psychopath, she and Trish (Rachael Taylor) must repair their fractured relationship and team up to take him down. But a devastating loss reveals their conflicting ideas of heroism and sets them on a collision course that will forever change them both.”
This is the third and final season of Jessica Jones which is going to hit Netflix on June 14th. All episodes will be available for streaming on that day. Other shows such as Luke Cage and Daredevil which were also part of Marvel and Netflix’s deal have already been canceled.

Parrot, a French drone maker that has long been a competitor to China’s DJI, has now been selected to make spy aircraft for the United States military. You could hardly expect DJI to be ever selected for a Department of Defense program on account of its Chinese nationality. Parrot is one of the six companies that have been selected for this program by the U.S. Department of Defense.
The project will result in the development of short-range aircraft that will be used for reconnaissance or spying missions by the military. The five other companies are also commercial entities from the United States and Europe.
DJI isn’t on the list even though it’s one of the world’s largest and arguably the most popular drone makers. Its products are not only loved by consumers but have widely been deployed for a variety of other purposes as well such as aiding first responders in the event of an emergency. Since this is a military project, it was unlikely that DJI would have been picked for it, particularly at this point in time due to the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China.
Parrot will receive an undisclosed amount from the $11 million fund set up by the Department of Defense. It will build prototypes of next-generation drones that can perform recon missions while flying for 30 minutes straight at a range of up to three kilometers. These drones will be able to fit inside a soldier’s standard-issue rucksack and take under 2 minutes to assemble.

Could Sony be jumping on the foldable smartphone bandwagon as well? A rumor out of China appears to think so. Despite the fact that Sony is exiting the smartphone market in all but four regions, it’s believed that the company may launch its first foldable smartphone under the Xperia F brand.
According to a report out of China, we may see Sony launch its first foldable smartphone in 2020 with the Xperia F moniker. The F would understandably stand for “foldable.” It’s also claimed that the device is going to use Samsung’s flexible OLED display panel, presumably the same one what we saw on Samsung’s own foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold.
Rumor has it that Sony will retain the focus on tall displays that we have seen on its recent handsets for its foldable smartphone as well. It’s claimed to have a 21:9 aspect ratio, the same as the Xperia 1 flagship. It’s unclear if the device will have the same 4K UHD resolution as the Xperia 1. What it may offer, though, is support for 5G which would be pretty commonplace for high-end devices by 2020 anyway.
None of this has been officially confirmed or even hinted by Sony at this point in time so take it all with a grain of salt.

Some of Apple’s very first computers tend to fetch a lot of money when they’re sold now and that has been the case for this original Apple I in a briefcase. It’s one of the very few remaining units of the first computer that Apple ever built. This original from 1976 was actually hand-built by Steve Wozniak and it fetched almost $500,000 at an auction.
The Apple I computer is inside a leather briefcase which includes an integrated keyboard. It went under the hammer at Christie’s Auction and was picked up for just over $470,000. Those of you who know your Apple history will be aware that the Apple I didn’t have its own case. Customers only got a board for $666 which they could connect to a TV and keyboard.
It was left up to the customer to figure out what the enclosure for this computer was going to be. So someone eventually came up with the idea to mount the Apple I board in a briefcase. Not only did it provide protection to the board but it also made it portable in its own unique way.
Only 200 or so units of the Apple I were made back when the company just starting out and it’s believed that fewer than 70 remain in existence. The one that has been auctioned bears model number 10.

It was revealed during a recent Super Mario Maker 2 Direct that co-operative play will be offered by this title. It would provide an element of fun in the game as friends will be able to play against each other in groups of four when they’re sitting together or through local wireless. It seems that while the game will allow this, it may not allow them to play co-op online.
According to Nintendo World Report, a representative for the company has suggested that it will not be possible for friends to team up online with each other. If they want to play with other people online, they will have to make do with online matchmaking with random players.
It’s pertinent to note there that Nintendo hasn’t made an official announcement in this regard. The suggestion comes from a single Nintendo representative and there’s a possibility that they might not be fully aware of the specifics. This will be so because Nintendo feels that being able to play with your own friends online could lead to global leaderboards being compromised.
Nevertheless, this remains within the realm of possibility, particularly when Nintendo’s history with online play is taken into context. Nintendo hasn’t issued a clarification on this as yet.
