“So no one told you life was going to be this way. Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s DOA.” To make matters worse your favorite TV show Friends has a million plot holes. As matter of fact, it has more plot holes than a Joey Tribbiani movie. The sitcom Friends quickly became one of the most popular shows on TV during its time and is still very popular today....
Over the course of Sex and the City’s six seasons, protagonist Carrie Bradshaw had her fair share of eye-opening dates. She learned a lot about love and relationships between the pilot episode and the series finale (even though she ended up with the guy that was always emotionally unavailable, but we’ll let that slide). The boyfriends that she had were sometimes good, sometimes terrible, mostly hilarious, and always fascinating. Some of them still hold a place in our hearts....
Futurama might not be on the air anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s still not an extremely popular show. The reason for that popularity is probably a combination of things, from the humor to the animation style to the fact that it’s set in the distant future. But the characters themselves probably contribute a good deal to why people watch the show. We certainly love the crazy cast of the animated adventures, so we went over to the Myers-Briggs® website to see which personality types fit them best....

Friday Night Lights is one of the most well-respected teen dramas as it masterfully combines football and high school angst. The small town Texas setting is perfect, showing how these teenagers are dreaming of sports stardom while struggling to imagine moving away from the only home they’ve ever known. There are many great couples on the series, and the romantic drama does make up the bulk of the storylines. But even though fans love the pairings, there are many other relationships that could have taken place....
Friends’ ending was an overall satisfying one, with each character ready to move on to another phase in their lives, but Rachel deserved a much better ending than the one she got. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, Friends premiered on NBC in 1994, later becoming one of the most popular sitcoms of the decade, and often regarded as one of the greatest TV shows of all time. The series followed the lives of six young adults (Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, Joey, Chandler, and Ross) in New York City, struggling with adulthood and everything that comes with it....
Analysts are suggesting that Apple might in future buy the A-series chips it uses in iPhones and iPads from Intel, following an interesting turnaround by the chipmaker this week, reports Fortune. Intel has long offered foundry services in which they manufacture chips designed by customers, but that service has so far been limited to chips based on its own architecture. As of this week, however, the company has announced that it will also be able to produce ARM-based chips....
No fictional family has been synonyms with words like “diabolical,” “manipulative,” and “power-hungry” quite like the Lannisters have been. Although Tyrion is easily the most famous Lannister on HBO’s masterpiece Game of Thrones, it’s Jaime and Cersei who push boundaries the most. Therefore, they just stand out above the rest. In theory, we should absolutely loathe these two. This is especially true of the Queen Regent Cersei, who continues to make bad choices and never seems to learn from her mistakes....
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Game of Thrones season 8, episode 5 Daenerys truly became the Mad Queen in the Game of Thrones episode “The Bells,” but her deep paranoia was actually justified, as Varys was trying to poison her. The Master of Whispers doesn’t say so explicitly, but it’s obvious from the dialogue exchange with his “little bird,” Martha, who informs him that Daenerys is refusing to eat. In response, Varys says, “We’ll try again at supper” - and he’s clearly not just talking about trying to get Daenerys’ blood sugar up....
After months of speculation, Emilia Clarke has finally revealed who is responsible for the infamous coffee cup from the final season of Game of Thrones. In the fourth episode of the season, eagle-eyed viewers spotted a Starbucks cup sitting on a table during a Winterfell feast. People were quick to point fingers, including some cast members themselves, with even Sophie Turner suggesting Clarke (who was sitting closest to the cup during the scene) was responsible....
Frozen 2 sets a new Disney Animation box office record during its opening weekend. Though the Mouse House owns Pixar (and has made a killing off that subsidiary for a number of years), the studio continues to look towards their fabled in-house animation depart to keep churning out hits. This decade, Disney Animation experienced a new renaissance, bolstered by blockbusters like Zootopia, Moana, Wreck-it Ralph, and more. But of course, one of Disney’s biggest titles of all-time is 2013’s Frozen....
Yes, you read that right. The Telegraph yesterday ran an interesting piece that caught my attention. The basis for their story is a breakthrough development calling for a chip that can generate power from microscopic body movement such as the human heartbeat or the pinch of a finger. The new chip is “thousands times more powerful” than a previous prototype and it’s based on nanogenerators. Scientists say it’s likely this tech will at some point enable gadgets that don’t require batteries because they will generate power from our body movement....
It’s hard to believe sometimes that at the beginning of the Game of Thrones series, Jaime Lannister was the most hated character on the show. Everyone viewed him as the true villain of the story, at least at that point. The biggest part of the hatred fans had for Jaime spawned from a moment in the premiere. See, while in the midst of an inappropriate intimate moment with his twin sister, Cersei, young Bran Stark stumbled upon the scene....

[vodpod id=Video.15968071&w=650&h=420&fv=autoPlay%3Dfalse] Earlier this week, Apple pledged to let the Fair Labor Association access its suppliers’ facilities to monitor working conditions. Even though Apple is the first technology company admitted to the FLA, the snowballing issue of harsh conditions at Far East plants will not go away with the announcement. Quite the contrary, the problem has escalated and gone mainstream, with both The Daily Show and This American Life focusing on the grim reality of earning a living at Foxconn-operated sweatshops in China....
Several days ago, the United States announced that it would investigate France’s proposed “digital tax” to determine whether it unfairly targets U.S. companies. Despite that threat, however, the French government has approved the tax and is moving forward with it. As detailed by the BBC, the French senate has approved the tax, despite the looming threat from the United States investigation. The tax targets any digital company, including Apple, with revenue of more than $750 million, of which at least $28 million is generated in France....
Frozen 2 hits theaters this year, and it’s possible that Elsa might not be the only princess with superpowers this time around. Although not a lot is known about the upcoming Frozen sequel, a new Frozen 2 trailer has provided some interesting hints at what’s to come - and inspired multiple theories, including one about Elsa’s mother having powers of her own. So far, it has been confirmed that Frozen 2 will see the return of Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and the rest of the core characters from the original film, as well as a couple of new additions (to be voiced by Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K....
In a Financial Times story about Apple’s Senior Vice President of Industrial Design Jonathan Ive “emerging from [Steve] Jobs’ shadow,” we get a few interesting stories from ex-Apple employees regarding the design guru’s work ethic. While one anonymous ex-Apple employee told the publication Ive’s “main talent was his ability to manage his relationship with Jobs,” Path chief and former Apple employee Dave Morin remembers Ive as a perfectionist. Morin described a story about Ive spending three months adjusting the MacBook design to ensure it could be easily operated with one finger:...
According to an Apple patent application published by the United States Patent & Trademark Office and detailed by PatentlyApple, Apple is working to implement audio transducers in combination with multiple speakers to enable surround sound configurations on MacBook-like devices. Apple’s focus of the patent appears to be improving audio in mobile devices as speakers decrease in size to accommodate smaller and thinner form factors. As detailed in the image to the right, one embodiment of the invention shows the use of several speakers and an audio transducer integrated into the bezel and enclosure of a MacBook....
The series finale of hit HBO drama Game Of Thrones was divisive. Many fans were left shocked by the events of season eight, which included Arya Stark killing the Night King, Daenerys Targaryen destroying King’s Landing and Bran Stark winning the throne. The ending was unexpected, and many fans had theorized completely different outcomes for the characters. Given the controversy of the series finale, here are ten Game Of Thrones fan theories that would have made a better ending....
