The world of Game of Thrones can be a pretty bleak one. There is constant war, threat of White Walkers invading and even the weddings aren’t safe. With things always seeming so dark, it can be really nice to add a bit of humor every now and then. The show does a wonderful job balancing the violence hopelessness with some genuine laugh out loud moments. There are a handful of characters who are usually the ones responsible for most of the comedy in the show....

Which of the Stark family’s direwolves are still alive on Game of Thrones? As the sigil of House Stark, the direwolf is regarded throughout Westeros as a mythical symbol of the North. Indeed, before Ned Stark and his children - Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Rickon, and Jon Snow - adopted a brood of direwolves, it had been nearly 200 years since the beasts were sighted south of the Wall. In the Game of Thrones pilot, “Winter is Coming”, each of the Stark children received a direwolf as a pet after the Ned Stark and his sons happened upon six orphaned pups still nursing from the corpse of their dead mother....

Out of all the gang on Friends, many people would agree that Monica is likely to be their least favorite. It’s not that she doesn’t have any great qualities, as she is the most generous out of them all. However, it just happens to be that the other characters’ personalities outshine hers. It also doesn’t help that Monica had some of the most annoying and weirdest moments on the series, with her controlling and selfish attitude making people feel awkward and uncomfortable....

Update: Earlier this week we shared the full hour-long Steve Jobs speech from the 1983 International Design Conference in Aspen. At the time, we mentioned John Celuch of Inland Design, who provided the recording to LifeLibertyTech, actually met Jobs at the conference. John apparently approached Jobs at the conference in order to obtain an item to place in a time capsule. Today, LifeLibertyTech posted the full story, revealing Jobs gave John the mouse from the Apple Lisa he was using to control a 6 projector setup during the conference....

What is symmetric encryption? Symmetric encryption is the one in which the sender and the recipient of the data use the same key to encrypt and decrypt the data. The sender and receiver must exchange the key with each other over a secure channel to maintain confidentiality and using this key the sender and receiver encrypt and decrypt the data exchanged between them. Symmetric encryption types Symmetric encryption algorithms can be categorized into two types....

Gabrielle Union thanked fans for their support amid her America’s Got Talent departure. Controversy arose when she and fellow freshman judge Julianne Hough were both unceremoniously fired from the show, following rumors of a toxic work environment. Union and Hough were brought onto the show in early 2019 to replace judges Heidi Klum and Mel B, both of whom had been terminated in the previous season. Klum has since made her way to America’s Got Talent Champions, and will soon be joined by judge Alesha Dixon in 2020....

In the aftermath of ‘The Long Night,’ Game of Thrones focuses its attention on Cersei and her army, promising a siege of King’s Landing in the trailer for episode 5. The follow up to the Battle of Winterfell didn’t take it easy on the survivors, moving them out of the destructive path of the sentient Zamboni formerly known as the Night King and tossing them back into the unforgiving machinery of the battle for the Iron Throne, something the show knows very well....

TV sitcoms often rely on the strength of their cast of memorable and humorous characters. This is certainly the case when it comes to the family sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, which had a successful 9 season run. While this show had no shortage of zany, yet charming characters, one of the standouts who tends to get overlooked is the wisecracking, witty, and often cynical father of Ray (Ray Romano) and Robert (Brad Garrett) Frank Barone, played by the late great Peter Boyle....

Throughout the course of a single generation, the High Lord House of the Westerlands, House Lannister, managed to become the most powerful House in Westeros, only to be pushed to near ruin and extinction in a matter of years. Tywin Lannister was one of the smartest and savviest men in the history of Westeros, and he managed to take his family all the way to the top, but now his son Tyrion is the only child that survives him....

You generally can’t expect to make much money in the early days of your business. It takes time to build a following and establish yourself online. However, assuming that there is a demand for the products you intend to sell (or services you will perform), then you should be able to build a client base in the end, as long as you have the patience and resilience to survive the initial lean times....

In the video and photos below, we get a look at how the iPhone has evolved over the past decade and a new perspective of Apple’s upcoming device with an iPhone 8 dummy unit compared to all other iPhone models. Perhaps most noticeable, the expected iPhone 8 design will shrink the overall footprint of the device while packing in a much larger display by minimizing the size of the bezels around the screen, much like Apple did with its new 10....

Disney’s Frozen 2 features incredible music and performances, but it’s Kristoff’s “Lost in the Woods” that arguably steals the show. Portrayed by Jonathan Groff, the mountain man barely sang in the the original Frozen, but receives his chance to shine in the sequel. Kristoff doesn’t really have any big Frozen moments that compare to Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel), Anna (Kristen Bell), or even Olaf (Josh Gad). He’s just a low-key ice seller, with a reindeer pal named Sven....

Frozen 2 suffers from problems similar to many of Disney’s live-action remakes. Frozen was released in 2013, winning over the hearts of children everywhere with memorable music, goofy humor, and lovable characters. Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic The Snow Queen, Disney revamped an already great story by removing Elsa from the villain role of the titular character and created a new backstory for her that involved having a sister....

Other than improved S Pen integration, are there other specifications or features that might compel you to upgrade? If you are considering an upgrade, I recommend you take advantage of the pre-order launch specials and generous trade-in offers since it is always best for the customer to buy a Samsung phone before the official launch date. We have the S22 Ultra in hand and are trying to decide if its worth selling an iPhone 13 Pro Max to purchase the S22 Ultra....

The final season of Game of Thrones is finally here, and that means one more season of the iconic opening sequence. Since the beginning, fans have joked about the length of the opening sequence, with one even working out that fans who watch the entire thing each episode have spent over an hour and a half watching that map of Westeros and listening to the theme music. The credits do more than just take up an incredible amount of time, though - they also change from episode to episode, revealing a little bit about what is going to happen in the episode....

The French data protection regulator, CNIL, is casting doubt on Apple’s compliance with EU privacy rules, according to a 13-page confidential note. As reported by Politico, CNIL believes that “Apple’s practices suggest a lack of consent collection” despite its requirements for other developers. The note is from December 17 and was signed by the CNIL president Marie-Laure Denis. Last week, the French data regulator opened a probe into Apple over personalized advertising features and the day after, the competition authority and CNIL backed Apple’s App Tracking Transparency....

ABC has cancelled the comedy Fresh Off the Boat after six seasons. Starring Constance Wu and Always Be My Maybe star Randall Park, Fresh Off the Boat premiered on ABC in 2015. Created by Nahnatchka Khan, the series received critical acclaim for the network for being the first to predominantly feature an Asian-American family. Despite a devoted fan base, Fresh Off the Boat experienced a steady decline in ratings in recent years....

Remember back when Mario used to have a cape and fly around every level? Back then Yoshi came in a huge variety of colors, graphics were in 32-bit, and Goombas were the least of your worries. Gaming has come a long way since the 1990’s, but it can be fun every once in a while to go retro and replay past favorites.

In the summer of 2014, Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was half done. The MCU, which began in 2008 with Iron Man, consisted of nine films, most of which were actually sequels. With the exception of The Avengers they had all centered on individual heroes. Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America. And then a movie was released which was not about one hero, but many. It was not about protecting Earth (or Asgard) but the entire galaxy....
