Google Chrome Comes to iOS

Today at Google I/O, the search giant announced and later released the Chrome browser for iOS devices. It’s available on the App Store for free, alongside Google Drive, the company’s cloud storage service. Chrome for iOS is supported on both the iPhone and iPad, and we tried it out on both devices. It’s safe to say that you can almost replace Safari.

‘Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One – Avengers Assembled’ Blu-ray Trailer

Six hundred million dollars later, The Avengers has rocked our world. The film, and the build-up to it, were such massive pop culture events, years in the making, that everything coming after it almost feels superfluous.

That would be films like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, (mostly) high quality superhero movies that lead to this summer’s uber-hit. Marvel is releasing a huge Blu-ray box set September 25 called Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One – Avengers Assembled and has just released a trailer teasing the package. Check it out below. viaSlashFilm
