The Untitled Animated Spider-Man Film has now found both its Miles Morales and main villain voice actors. In just a few months, Spider-Man: Homecoming will land in theaters and mark Spider-Man’s first solo outing in the MCU. Even more historic is the deal Marvel and Disney were able to strike with Sony in order to share the rights to the character. Despite the financial success of Sony’s previous films featuring the web-slinger, the joint venture with Marvel looks to be a huge hit and will likely be the start of a strong relationship....

Apple has officially acknowledged community reports of inadvertently deleted music, with users left with missing tracks in their libraries that may never be recovered, in a statement to iMore. The company says that it is pushing an iTunes update next week with ‘safeguards’ to pre-emptively prevent data loss. However, Apple says it cannot reproduce the issue in internal testing so the forthcoming iTunes update is not guaranteed to work. It also means that the exact cause of the bug is still unknown, although it appears to be a problem with the iTunes desktop app misbehaving rather than the Apple Music streaming service....

Instead, Munster said Apple could announce an incremental upgrade to iPad or iTunes in April and wouldn’t have a major product announcement until the iPhone 5S lands in late June....

Since then, the studio produced two more titles: Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (developed by The Chinese Room and published by Frictional Games) and Soma....

Its unfair to call out just Shaw. Looking at the list of Analysts for someone who might have a clue yields very little. Even Gene Munster (Piper Jaffray) whose full time job (and huge budget and crew of at least 4) it is to gather information on what Apple is up to, is not even 33% right. Even worse, most of his “correct” “information” is weeks behind some of the better Apple blogs – like Appleinsider, Ars Technica, and MacRumors....
