Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, is reportedly saying no to shows that feature graphic depictions of sex and violence for the tech company’s upcoming digital streaming slate.

Per The Wall Street Journal, this all began last year, when Cook saw footage from Apple’s first original drama, Vital Signs, which comes from rap mogul Dr. Dre and his business partner, iconic music producer, Jimmy Iovine. The half-hour dark drama is loosely based on Dre’s life, with veteran actors Ian McShane (Deadwood) and Sam Rockwell (Moon) set to star in leading roles. For a look at the dozens of TV shows in development at Apple, click through the gallery below:

Each day we grow closer to the futuristic, voice-controlled future promised to us in the movies. It’s almost fully realized at this point, with so many cool gadgets to control things in your home like lighting and environmental controls. Soon we’ll all be taking it for granted, but for now it’s still a pretty novel concept to walk into a room and say “Alexa, play ‘Ocean Man’ by Ween” and have it happen.

To help facilitate a smooth transition to our voice-controlled futures, Amazon and Walmart have Alexa-enabled devices on sale right now.

Here’s why Loki is the ideal candidate to get his own MCU series on Disney’s streaming service.

A TGS demo and PlayStation Store listing have revealed Devil May Cry 5 will have both microtransactions and some form of online multiplayer.

Fans have been able to play DMC 5 at TGS 2018 this week, which led Gamespot to notice that players can pay real world money to purchase the series’ in-game currency, red orbs.

The orbs, which traditionally are never abundant enough to unlock absolutely everything, are used to purchase upgrades to weapons, new moves and one-off consumables.

When asked why these were being included, series director Hideaki Itsuno said it was all about player choice. “With giving people the ability to purchase Red Orbs, it’s something we want to give people as an option. If they want to save time and just want to get all the stuff at once, those people can do that.”
