Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is being turned into a TV series.
Ang Lee famously adapted elements from books in the Crane-Iron series into an Oscar-winning movie in 2000, starring Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun-fat and Zhang Ziyi.

The official synopsis reads: “Amidst stunning landscapes and spectacular action, ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ follows Shu Lien and Mu Bai, two star-crossed warriors, as they struggle between forbidden love and the pull of modernity – caught between preserving their way of life or embracing a future together.”

Apple has been hit with at least two more proposed class action lawsuits over its delayed personalized Siri features for iPhones.

In the U.S., a complaint filed in a California federal court this week alleges that Apple violated false advertising and unfair competition laws by marketing Apple Intelligence upgrades for Siri that are still not available. The two named plaintiffs said they never would have purchased or been willing to pay as much for an iPhone 16 had they known that Apple’s marketing surrounding the features was false and misleading.

Microsoft is gradually rolling out new preview features to Windows Insiders, including Recall, which has been the target of critics’ security and privacy concerns since it was announced. It was originally supposed to be a preview experience that’s broadly available to all Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs when the first batch of AI-assisted devices hit the market in June last year. But Microsoft pushed back its release to ensure the feature was truly secure. It delayed the tool’s rollout yet again in October 2024 to ”refine the experience before previewing it with Windows Insiders.

The US military announced Thursday it had fired the commander of its Greenland base, saying it would not tolerate attempts to “subvert President Trump’s agenda.”
The Pentagon’s spokesperson said in a post on X that Colonel Susannah Meyers had been fired, and linked to a news article reporting an email Meyers sent to staff in which she reportedly distanced the base from comments made by Vice President JD Vance during his visit to Greenland last month.
Trump has said he would get rid of staff deemed to be disloyal to him, and the administration has fired top national security officials over concerns of disloyalty.
