First ‘Godzilla’ anime movie is heading to Netflix

It seems strange that after all this time the King of Kaiju a.k.a. Godzilla still doesn’t have an animated movie in Japan. Well, it seems we’re finally getting that and it’s even going to be shown outside of the country. The Polygon Pictures’ Godzilla film will be brought by Polygon and Toho to Netflix. This animated take on the giant monster brought to us by Gen Urobuchi, Hiroyuki Seshita, and Kobun Shizuno will be hitting the streaming service after it airs in Japan later this year.

As a side note, this isn’t the first time Godzilla has been animated. Godzilla made a brief tie-in appearance in Crayon Shin Chan for Shin Godzilla. And the Kaiju King also appeared in two animated TV shows. But getting an actual movie is a first and we’re pretty stoked for it.

Baby Studio Pro 1.1 for iOS for capturing and sharing the memories of parenthood

ZRL Alliance released  Baby Studio Pro 1.1, the company's photo sharing app developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. The nine months from pregnancy to delivery are full of special moments and milestones that are amplified once the baby is born. The birth of a baby and their growing years are a treasure trove every parent wants to keep in their heart.

From the visibly growing baby bump to the first kick, smile, tooth and the first few steps, it is now possible to share, store, relive and decorate these memories with the Baby Studio Pro. The concept for the app comes from the founder's wife, a mother of 3 kids who longed to share her milestones and moments with her husband while she was pregnant and worked overseas in Australia.

Nissan recalls 54,000 cars for faulty airbags that could deploy when doors are slammed

Nissan has issued a recall for 54,000 Nissan Versa 2012 models which have curtain and seat-mounted airbags which can unexpectedly deploy when the door is slammed.

Nissan North America, who issued the recall, says the problem is likely to be casued by the degradation of the side impact sensor connector pins. The unexpected deployment of airbags in non-crash situations can increase the risk of injury.

Nissan says dealers will install a new jumper harness and replace the side impact sensors free of charge. Car owners can contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Microsoft revamps Cortana for iOS

Following the revamp of Cortana on Android in December 2016, Microsoft is trying to connect with iOS users with the app’s update. The refreshed app is said to load faster and defaults into listening for your voice commands or questions. At the same time, there is a new Quick Actions feature that lets you tap a couple of buttons and have Cortana do things like create an alarm, tell a joke, or set a reminder. You don’t have to talk to Cortana now to do the simple things and, at the same time, it teaches users some of the things the app can do.

When you ask it questions now, it’ll provide you with a full page of answers. There is also a Google Now-like cards that display information such as news, weather, traffic, etc. Even the call and texting functions have been refreshed. When you want to call or text through Cortana, it’ll redirect you to iPhone’s dialer and the built-in messaging app.
