Frank Oz is reuniting with Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson on the upcoming murder mystery, Knives Out. Before he took his trip to a galaxy far, far away, Johnson was known for making unconventional genre films like The Brothers Bloom and Looper. Indeed, he started his feature moviemaking career off with Brick, a low-budget detective noir mystery that featured hard-boiled dialogue and characters straight out of a 1940s novel, but took place in a modern high-school setting....

With its sharp wit, farcical comedy style, and cast of colorful characters, Frasier was a hit series from 1994 all the way until it ended eleven seasons later. It was only recently unseated for having the most Emmy nominations, an honor that now belongs to Game of Thrones. It remains one of the most successful spin-offs in television history, following psychiatrist Frasier Crane from Boston (where he was a series regular on Cheers) to his new life in Seattle living with his retired police officer father and working at the KACL radio station....

A character would need to be someone special for him to last two decades on screen or to be able to make the jump to an entirely different series, and Frasier is seen as the ultimate success story for this example. The show managed to make Frasier out to be his own person rather than be connected to Cheers all the time, with his bromance with Niles being a duo that only a few characters have emulated since....

Swirling rumors about a fifth-generation iPhone have gone mainstream with the news that Episode 2, Season 2 of television show “Covert Affairs” featured a brief appearance of what could only be described as a poorly designed next-generation iPhone prop rocking an edge-to-edge display. I know what you’re thinking, “What’s with the fugly steel edge”, right? I guess the show producers didn’t get the memo about current iPhone 4 design being “out of favor” at the highest levels of Apple as the company “moves on to an entirely new product”....

Despite a lack of major deaths or any substantial action, the second episode of season 8 of Game of Thrones had a few noteworthy moments.

While debates regarding the final season of Game of Thrones, just when George RR Martin will complete the next book and whether or not Dany’s doom was actually warranted or not will likely rage on for years, at least fans have memes to help dull the multiple stings they feel were inflicted by HBO writers. What would any fandom do without the humor of fellow fans to sustain us through the cold winter when it hits the North?...

Thanks to its complex storytelling, witty dialogue, and memorable characters, Frasier emerged as not only one of the most popular television programs of all time, but the most popular spin-off of an already popular series, Cheers. It received no less than 37 Emmy nominations during eleven seasons of following Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer), a respected radio psychiatrist navigating life and love in Seattle. The phenomenal writing was only amplified by fantastic performances by the colorful cast of characters....

Game of Thrones has finally come to it’s end, and as all had hoped and expected, the humans managed to defeat the white walkers, wights, and the Night King himself, once and for all. But unfortunately while Game of Thrones did offer a conclusion for these mysterious and strange beings, it really didn’t offer up a lot of explanations for what the white walkers did, could do, or even an explanation of their very nature....

With the second episode of season 8 about to hit screens, Game of Thrones inches ever closer to its finale - and the series’ final villain may actually turn out to be none other than Daenerys Targaryen. From the start, Game of Thrones has never been a show with straightforward good guys and bad guys; the inhabitants of Westeros are gloriously complicated, with motivations that are nuanced and changeable. Those that seemed the worst in the first season may be the ones that fans are rooting for by now: Jaime Lannister, once simply an arrogant, incestuous rich boy who pushed a kid out of a tower, has become a fan-favorite, giving up his family name to ride North and join the fight to save Westeros....

According to government officials, iPhone manufacturer Foxconn is planning to open operations including 10-12 factories and data centers by 2020 in India for the first time. Foxconn producing iPhones and iPads in India could result in lower prices on Apple’s hardware in the country where Apple’s hardware is sold at a price higher than many of its competitors. The move is also said to be an effort by Foxconn to chase low wage costs as wages in China where it currently operates rise, Reuters reports....

From the outside, Apple Palo Alto looks much the same as it did after relocating from a smaller store just down the street in October 2012. Floor to ceiling glass panels welcome customers through the store’s doors, where a massive, glowing Apple logo is suspended above. An arched glass roof runs the length of the store suspended by stone walls that border three of the building’s sides. When the store opened, it was referred to as a “prototype” for the future of Apple’s retail design....

Game of Thrones is about certain characters vying for control of the Seven Kingdoms. Their primary goal is to claim the Iron Throne, the most coveted of uncomfortable chairs. However, the history of the Iron Throne extends further back than just Cersei Lannister and Daenerys Tagaryen’s upcoming fight for it. The lore of the Game of Thrones series is legendary. By simply reading the books, you can glean that Westeros has a longer history than a single episode has the time to tell you....
