LastPass says some unauthorized login alerts were sent in error, no passwords were compromised

LastPass wants to assure its users that there has been no breach into its system. The statement follows reports that users were getting notified of unauthorized login attempts.

DC is teasing one of its big tentpole releases coming out next year. We're getting another look at the upcoming The Batman film starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman. In the new trailer titled "The Bat and the Cat," we get to see Bruce interact and trade barbs and a few kicks and punches with Zoe Kravitz's Selina Kyle/Catwoman. 

Beyond that, we're getting a better look at what The Riddler has up his sleeve (played by Paul Dano). Or at least we see him video chatting with Batman, sort of.

The standout concept is called the OLED Shelf, a stack of two 55-inch transparent OLED screens and topped by a shelf.

When turned off, you can see the objects behind the screen (like actual paintings). It also comes with a sheet of opaque material that rolls down like a shade, so the transparent display is more like your typical OLED.
