There will be a black-and-white cut of ‘Logan’

20th Century Fox

If you loved Logan and want a pure black-and-white experience for it, you can own a piece of that. According to Logan’s director James Mangold, there will be a Blu-ray and DVD release for it. But if you find yourself in the U.S. on May 16^th, then you’ll have a chance to catch the black-and-white version on that one night. Not much has been said yet when it’ll be shown but this version of the film, as Mangold said, had to be “regraded [and] timed shot by shot.”

Suggestion. Hard core B&W loving LOGAN fans should not make any plans on the evening of May 16th.

Google adds links to media content services when searching on iOS

Google just updated its search capabilities on iOS to make it easier to look for media content—like movies and music—online. When you do a Google search on a specific song, TV show, or movie. The results will show in the Knowledge Panel icons for services that offer the content, like iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, etc. If you click on these links, it’ll take you straight to that app or service. And if you haven’t signed up for the specific service, pricing information will be displayed, too. This feature should show up on both Google Search app as well as on mobile web browser.

Uber makes it easier to delete your account, gives you more control over your data

A new update for Uber makes it easier to delete your account on the ride-hailing app. It’s now possible to delete your account and the accompanying data right from your smartphone. Before uninstalling the app doesn’t entail that your data gets deleted from Uber’s server. You had to go through the tedious process of contacting Uber’s support team to get your data removed. The new process will begin a 30-day countdown from the Privacy Settings page from when you delete your account. After those 30 days, it’ll remove all your data. According to Uber’s Product Manager Zach Singleton, this makes things a bit easier for them. “Internally, this lets us manage it better in terms of scale.”
