Throughout ten epic seasons of NBC’s Friends, Ross Geller dated plenty of women. Some were his colleagues, students, or just random women he picked from the coffee shop. Ross was also lucky enough to find love in beautiful, intelligent women such as Julie, and his ex-wife Emily. But none of these worked. You know why? He was always Rachel’s lobster. Today we bring you every worst date Ross Geller has had....

Game of Thrones is known for its penchant for violence, political scheming, and sex. Due to the inherent nature of the political scheming in the show, many characters aren’t exactly trustworthy or even good people. That being said, even though many characters are morally grey, we still have a vast amount of characters that we could consider to be BF worthy. This list will base the BF worthiness of the character based on their personality, as well as their past actions....

Though it was a hugely popular series when it was on the air, the final season of Game of Thrones was divisive, to say the least. The main complaint with fans was that, after eight long seasons, the characters they loved didn’t get satisfying endings. While fans have to accept the ending of the show, the books could give more of what fans was hoped for. George R.R. Martin has two more books left in his Song of Ice and Fire series, and he has confirmed that the ending will share similarities with the show while also having notable differences....

According to several local reports, Foxconn’s Terry Gou made some pretty bold statements at Hon Hai Precision’s annual meeting of shareholders on Monday. While there are a few translations, all seem to claim Gou urged customers to wait for the iPhone 5, “saying that the new model will put Samsung’s Galaxy III to shame.” A report from Focus Taiwan quoted China Times: Gou also apparently claimed that Foxconn’s Sakai plant “has an exclusive agreement with Corning Inc....

There hasn’t been a Friday the 13th film since 2009, and one big reason for Jason’s continued absence is a lawsuit concerning rights to the franchise. The 1980s were a golden age for slasher movies, and one of the poster boys of this movement was Jason Voorhees, who took over the family business of killing teens at Camp Crystal Lake from his mother Pamela after she lost her head. There was a new Friday the 13th film in all but two years of the decade, with only 1983 and 1987 going without a Voorhees murder spree to call their own....

Jason Voorhees, of Friday the 13th franchise fame, shares a surprising connection to Alfred Hitchcock even though their movies are quite different on the whole. Hitchcock, who is known by many to be the Master of Suspense, played his part in the creation of the slasher sub-genre with his 1960 psychological horror film, Psycho. Starring Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates, the soft-spoken motel proprietor with a strange fondness for his mother, Psycho created a murder mystery with a twist ending that became the basis for many others to follow in its footsteps....

While Macs are popular for many high-end applications, including music creation and video editing, there’s one demanding field where they have mostly been dismissed: gaming. ArsTechnica declared Mac gaming dead as long ago as 2007, and ten years later Oculus declared that Macs still aren’t good enough for VR – despite workarounds. But Ars says that there is now some optimism among game developers … In a piece entitled The state of Mac gaming, Ars says that Apple’s OpenGL graphics API just couldn’t compete with Direct3D on Windows when it came to modern machines....

Despite the controversial final season, Game of Thrones will go down as one of the greatest television series of all time.

With twists and turns that you never saw coming and an unpredictable finish, the show will go down in history. And, one of the reasons it was so successful was down to the superb season finales that the show always produced....

Job listings on both jobs.apple.com and jobs.ch appear to confirm long-standing rumors that Apple is to open a fourth Swiss Apple Store in Basel, joining its existing stores in Geneva, Zurich and Wallisellen … Although no Basel jobs are currently found on the Apple site under that filter, five jobs – including Apple Genius – appear on the jobs.ch site. The entries were spotted by Swiss site macprime.ch, which previously reported what it believes to be plans and construction photos for the new store at Freie Strasse 47....

The secret to Friends’ success had a lot of ingredients in the recipe, one of them being the pop culture icon that Rachel Green became. Back in the day, the streets were filled with women attempting to replicate Rachel’s dressing style, and that trend has returned thanks to Friends being on streaming services. And yet, it would be a lie if one claimed that Rachel had all her outfits stamped with a 100% approval rating, because she certainly had some get-ups that we didn’t take a shining to....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for both Game of Thrones & A Song of Ice and Fire. Game of Thrones season 8 is the conclusion for the television show, but the books on which the HBO series is based, A Song of Ice and Fire, are still unfinished. So how different will the ending of A Song of Ice and Fire be from what audiences watched on Game of Thrones? The final season of Game of Thrones has been the source of much debate, with some disgruntled fans going so far as to demand it be remade....

Game of Thrones is setting up a perfect final mission for one of the show’s most beloved supporting characters: the sellsword Bronn. Played with scuzzy charm by Jerome Flynn, Bronn has quietly played an important role in the Lannisters’ rise to power over the course of the series. He’s rarely shown ambitions beyond the desire to be rich and surrounded by beautiful women, which has ironically made him one of the show’s purest and most likeable characters....
