Mr. Robot Season 2 Premiere ‘Leaks’ Online for Limited Time
The network behind cyber drama Mr. Robot intentionally leaked part of its season 2 premiere on Twitter and Snapchat as part of a timed marketing ploy.
While the show won't air fully until July 13, USA Network tweeted a heads-up that fans could get an early glimpse of the show on July 11 at 8.30 p.m. ET. The first half of the two-episode premiere was available for a small window before being briefly broadcast again on Snapchat, YouTube, and USA's official website.
"Leak" seems like the wrong choice of word when the spilled beans are intentional, but the network is deliberately capitalizing on the show's cyber security theme for the marketing of this sneak peek.

Niantic Teases Trading, Leaderboards Coming to Pokemon Go
Niantic's CEO, John Hanke, has teased some of Pokemon Go's upcoming features.
According to Business Insider, Hanke says the ability to trade Pokemon is "kind of a core element," - adding that the app was designed with interactions between players in mind, meaning we could see this function sooner rather than later.
As for Pokestops and Gyms, players will one day be able to "customize their functions," but Hanke didn't go into what that could mean for the hubs that allow for battling and item-buying.
Business Insider also reports there will be a kind of global leadership scoreboard. In addition, Hanke suggests the game's augmented reality technology will be improved, saying the current version is a "great first step."

Last year some images surfaced claiming to be Sony and Nintendo's prototype SNES PlayStation. It was, of course, never released, but that doesn't mean you can't play Super Boss Gaiden on it.

Jessica Jones #1 cover by David Mack
This new Jessica Jones solo series, which was originally called Alias when it launched under the adult-oriented Marvel MAX line in 2001, has been in the works for some time, even before her well-received TV debut on Netflix last year. Bendis was content to end Alias when it came to its natural conclusion in 2004, but as the Marvel Universe experienced one major event after another, like last year’s reality-altering Secret Wars, Bendis took note of what unsolved mysteries were falling through the cracks, storing them away for Jessica to one day solve. Now that day has come.
