According to New York City Police Commissioner James O’Neill, none of the revelers in the Big Apple Monday night who are there to party and celebrate the arrival of 2019 will be more than 10 feet away at any time from either a uniformed or undercover police officer. It’s part of the intense security cordon the city’s law enforcement annually puts in place, given the estimated 2 million people who will pack the area on New Year’s Eve. But in addition to cops who will be on hand to keep everyone safe, O’Neill added during a press briefing that — no surprise — there will also be plenty of security measures you don’t see and may not take any notice of.

Like the fact that the NYPD, for the first time, will be using drone technology on New Year’s Eve to keep an eye on the party crowd and ensure everyone’s safety. Additionally, law enforcement officials will likewise be employing “counter-drone” technology.

Ever since the new Nokia came out with its first Nokia phones two years ago, we heard rumblings that flagship devices that would rival the iPhone, Galaxy S, and Pixel phones would arrive in due time, and HMD Global delivered. The company, however, never launched that elusive Nokia 9 phone that appeared in rumors all the way back in 2017. That might change soon, a new leak tells us.

When Amazon acquired Whole Foods for $13.4 billion back in June of 2017, many people found the move a bit curious. Now, about 18 months later, Amazon’s plans with the popular supermarket chain are finally starting to crystallize.

A few months ago, for example, Amazon announced that Prime members would able to receive discounts on Whole Foods purchases, with some items available at a generous 50% discount. And now comes word via The Wall Street Journal that Amazon is planning to expand the cumulative number of Whole Foods stores across the country. The reason? It will significantly expand the pool of Prime subscribers who will be able to take advantage of Amazon Prime Now, the company’s free two-hour delivery service.

Kids learn about Christmas and New Year’s Eve at a very young age, and they want to make the most of it every year. But you know what they don’t get? How time works. So if you have to put your young ones to bed as soon as possible come December 31st, you’ll be able to do so whenever you feel like it — all thanks to Netflix.

Just like in previous years, Netflix has its own (fake) New Year’s Eve countdowns for kids, which will help you convince them that they’ve stayed up way past their bedtime so that they could experience the fireworks (on Netflix, of course) and the fake bubbly drinks (if you’re serving any).

Launching on March 8th, Captain Marvel will be Marvel’s first new movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year, and it’s meant to introduce a brand new hero who’s going to have a pivotal role later in Avengers: Endgame. That’s Captain Marvel, of course, played by Brie Larson in the film. But there is one major Hollywood star in Captain Marvel whose role is still something of a mystery. For months now, we’ve been waiting to see who Jude Law will play in the movie, as Marvel and Disney tried to keep it a secret. Earlier this week, Disney mistakenly let the name of Law’s character slip out. And now we have a different leak that seems to shed even more light on his role.

The final hours of 2018 have arrived, but as always, when one door closes, another opens… or in the case of Netflix, a bunch of shows and movies leave, while dozens more take their place. This week happens to include the first day of the month, which has become a traditional dumping ground for Netflix, packed with more licensed content than you’ll ever be able to work your way through before another round of content drops next month.

Some of the highlights this week include all three Indiana Jones movies (ok, technically all four), Pan’s Labyrinth, Pulp Fiction, Swingers, The Dark Knight, The Departed, and The Mummy, to name a few. Sadly, we’re also losing Kung Fu Panda, Meet the Parents, The Godfather: Part II, The Iron Giant, and The Shining.

For years, Netflix has outlasted one challenger after another that’s tried to dethrone the streaming giant we’ve all grown accustomed to turning to for our next video binge. From Blockbuster to Walmart and a host of other rivals that fizzled, you’ve got to hand it to Netflix — they pulled ahead early in the race for streaming prominence, and they never let their foot off the gas.

We may end up eating these next words. But a fearsome challenger will step into the ring towards the end of 2019 that Netflix, if it’s not already, should be downright scared of. We’re talking of course about Disney, the performance of which throughout this year made it clear to anyone who’s paying attention that it will be playing to win in 2019 with the launch of its Netflix rival, Disney+.

A few days ago, an image on Instagram showed us the Avengers: Endgame hero we’ve been dying to see in a new Avengers episode. Before Avengers: Infinity War premiered, we had a feeling this particular hero wouldn’t appear in the movie, and we were not wrong, as Marvel had other plans in mind. But the company later confirmed that the hero is still alive, and the first Endgame trailer was conslusive proof that he’ll appear in Avengers 4. Now we have even more images from the same collection of Endgame art that is said to be authentic art from Marvel for future Avengers products.
