Is this the title of ‘Avengers 4?’

Eagle-eyed fans discovered something over the weekend. They were checking out the resume page of Avengers 4 cinematographer Trent Opaloch and discovered he listed the second part of Avengers: Infinity War as Avengers: End Game. He has since updated this listing to Avengers 4 but it’s already gotten fans speculating. Some saying this refers to the scene in Infinity War where Doctor Strange has been looking for all the possible outcomes in the battle with Thanos to see if there was an ending where the Avengers win against him and he only finds one. He told Iron Man as he handed the Time Stone to Thanos that, “We’re in the end game now.” This possibly hints to that and that everything that’s happened is part of Doctors Strange’s plans.

But we won’t hold our breaths that this is right. As Comicbook.com has pointed out co-director Joe Russo has denied in an interview back in May that the film’s title would be based on a line of dialogue in Infinity War.

Cadillac's Super Cruise: Going Handsfree on the Highway

Text and photos by Emily Chung.

Cadillac has introduced Super Cruise, the world’s first handsfree driving technology for the highway. This system allows drivers to let go of the wheel (and pedals) on divided, limited-access freeways with defined on and off ramps. Essentially, ‘limited-access’ means that the freeways have controlled access, which include the provincial highways (e.g. 400-series highways in Ontario). Cadillac engineers have validated and mapped over 210,000 kilometres of highways and freeways in Canada and the US for the system. Hit jump for our hands on, or rather, hands off this impressive new autonomous driving technology.

Google releases ‘near-final’ version of Android P beta

The third beta version of Android P is here and we’re getting a “near-final” look at the operating system before it officially goes live later in the summer. According to Google engineering VP Dave Burke, this latest beta is an “early release candidate build” that “takes us very close to what you’ll see in the final version of Android P.” The focus of this update it seems is on bug fixes and optimizations, which is a big deal for developers because the system behaviors and APIs are supposed to be close to final state. And that means, they can start testing their apps to see if it works with their apps.

Burke has also announced that the Android engineering team will be hosting a Reddit AMA on July 19 to answer technical questions about the new operating system.
