Good news: Avengers: Infinity War is set to have its 4K Blu-ray and DVD release on August 14. Now, fans will be able to relive the movie experience while watching it in the comfort of their homes. But is this actually news? For years, we have had follow-up DVD releases of blockbuster movies, but as society becomes more modern, the excitement and desire to own a DVD has largely shrunk.

So it appears that Apple is going to have some exciting products this year. And then soon enough, consumers will be anxious ...

Initially revealed in 2007, Android has undergone numerous releases, with the latest being Android P, previewed earlier this year. Despite these updates, Google has imagined and been experimenting with a grander redesign for Android, one that will stretch its boundaries quite literally. Called Fuchsia, this recreated operating system has already seen some appearances of its open-source code online.
