Apple developers should follow this guide for assistance with any text that they…

Unfortunately, these two topics have much in common in Mexico. Civilians that do not have anything to do with the cartels get caught up in these kind of…

August 22nd 2013 around 10 o’clock at night, the announcement that many cinematic comic book fans have long been awaiting arrived. With this announcement came many “boos”, and cheers, some misunderstandings and hatred. This is because actor and director Ben Affleck was awarded the role to play the new incarnation of the famous caped crusader Batman.

Former CEO and founder of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs was man of many talents and virtues. Although Steve Jobs was very honorable, there was a time in his life he failed to uphold a commitment.

Most states in America do not have a professional sports team and most of the state 's citizens devote themselves to their local sports team by endorsing them and purchasing various things that make them somewhat closer to the team. There is a huge issue on whether college athletes should be paid or should they just remain with the way things are…

The Dark Night trilogy set the gold standard for the characters Batman, and the Joker. Every casual movie goer or critic would tell you that the most recent portrayal of each of these characters isn’t as good as the Dark Night Trilogy characters. With the flop of Man of Steel, and Batman vs. Super Man, Warner Brothers, the company making DC films, wanted to take a lot of control away from directors, and unfortunately the first movie to take such directions was 2016’s “Suicide Squad” by David…
