All 'Fantastic Four' movies are now on Disney+ Canada

20th Century Fox

Comic book films are big spectacles now, but they aren't always that great. And now, you can relive some of the more questionable ones. And by questionable ones, we mean the Fantastic Four films. All three movies are now available on Disney+. These include Fantastic Four (2005) and its sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) as well as the 2015 reboot Fantastic Four (which is stylized as Fant4stic). All the movies were produced by 20th Century Fox, which was acquired by Disney and thus having been made available on the company's streaming service. 

If you want to see Chris Evans and Michael B. Jordan both play The Human Torch before getting their more famous roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Captain America and Black Panther's Killmonger, you know where to find the movies.

Google tests biometric support for Android autofill service

XDA Developers discovered the feature, which looks like it supports both fingerprint sensor and face unlock, as well as anything that uses Google's new biometric API. So, it will work with the iris scanners available on some of Samsung's handsets.

CES 2020: Samsung Ballie demonstrates future AI, smart home plans

 

A scene-stealer at Samsung's Consumer Electronics Show keynote comes in the form of an adorable, rolling smart home control center that reminds us of a mix between Star Wars' BB-8 and a tennis ball. Ballie, as it is called, represents the company's future home robot strategy.

Ballie has a plastic, scalloped frame, which gives it a sense of playfulness. It's like having a little ball follow you around at home. Samsung won't dish much about what Ballie's hardware will be. But it doesn't seem to be using Samsung's home-made Exynos processors to power it. It has a single camera for object and person detection, and it handles all image processing directly on-device. It supposedly can't record and store footage of its surroundings entirely, which may or may not appease privacy concerns.
