Who could have predicted a series that revolved around a stuffy Seattle radio host and his urban family would garner a whopping total of 37 Emmy nominations, going on to become one of the most popular spin-offs ever made? The fussy life and times of Dr. Frasier Crane, beloved series regular on Cheers, was a staple of network television since it began in 1994. It was praised for its taut storylines, witty dialogue, and memorable characters, which have been brought to an entirely new generation thanks to easy bingeing access on Netflix and Hulu....

On a blog post, Haschek says that he analyzed 443 top free proxies (of which 199 are available as online services), and found a mere 21 percent of them to be “not shady.” In his study, Haschek notes that 33 proxy servers modified static HTML pages to inject ads. In simpler words, say you visit TechPP.com using any such proxy, you won’t see the ads official admins of TechPP had put on the website, but you will see ads that are injected by those proxy services....

Ross Geller was the most arrogant member of the lovable Friends gang, but his hilarious meltdowns made him so memorable. Ross was at his funniest when he was in the midst of a temper tantrum, and it was in those unforgettable moments that David Schwimmer’s acting skills truly shone. Over Friends’ ten seasons, Ross provided some of the most comical scenes, as his storylines always tended to be the most absurdly funny....

Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) of Friends is like no other. She follows the beat of her own drums and rocks it. Her friends love her, wackiness and all. You can expect that with a personality like Phoebe’s, it would call for some strange-looking outfits, or even an awesome outfit that you had no idea could be concocted. Phoebe’s known for her creative and outside-of-the-box thinking. Still, while we may love her, there were definitely some outfits over the 10 years of episodes that we just didn’t care for....

The penultimate episode of Game of Thrones, titled “The Bells”, saw the deaths of many key characters, not least of all Jaime Lannister. While Jaime was able to fulfill his dream of dying in the arms of the woman he loves, not everyone was a fan of how the Kingslayer’s story ended. Jaime has been one of the most complex characters on the show, from his teetering between hero and villain to his relationship with Cersei....

Recently the world (that’s right the whole world) celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of NBC hit sitcom Friends. While there was a lot of celebrating there were also some questions raised about certain jokes and characters and how the show, while still popular, is a product of its time. Some of the jokes no longer ring true, or appropriate for that matter. But, as we reminisce and rewatch the smash hit on its quarter-century anniversary some questions have also come up about the characters themselves....

Frozen 2 expands the franchise’s mythology in fantastic new ways. Both films are intimate character journeys, exploring the stories of sisters Anna and Elsa, but Frozen 2 is all about how the siblings fit into the wider world. Elsa abandons her refrain of “the past is in the past” in order to learn the truth about her parents, and unlock the secrets of magic itself. In thematic terms, Frozen 2 is something of a mash-up of different legends, philosophies, and fairytales....

Daenerys Targaryen undergoes one of the most transformative character arcs in Game of Thrones. Fans first meet her as a meek and scared princess in exile who is forced to marry Khal Drogo by her brother, Viserys. The Targaryen queen grows more powerful throughout the series as she hatches dragons and conquers kingdoms. Daenerys changed immensely throughout Game of Thrones, and looking back, is near unrecognizable from the person she was in the series finale....

Game of Thrones brought to life the wonders and dangers of George R. R. Martin’s universe, as well as some of the most memorable characters in TV history. Tyrion Lannister walked into some dangerous situations but was always able to talk himself out of them. As one of the leading protagonists, Tyrion represents the good within the Lannister family despite his other family members’ ulterior motives. Though Tyrion had his fair share of darker moments, regrettable decisions, and a drinking problem....

Was the episode title for Game of Thrones’ Battle of Winterfell episode, “The Long Night”, a spoiler? Secrecy around the HBO fantasy series has reached a new level in the final season. For the past few years, no screeners have been made available to press, and now the network’s not even announcing the names of new episodes until after they air....

The Game of Thrones season 8 scripts insinuated that Jon Snow was disturbed by his incestuous relationship with Daenerys Targaryen after he found out about their blood ties. Jon was finally filled in about his Targaryen heritage in the final season of the HBO series. Jon tried to act as though his identity as Aegon Targaryen didn’t affect his feeling for his lover, but the original scripts suggested otherwise. Jon first aligned with Daenerys in Game of Thrones season 7 when he asked for her assistance with the impending battle against the Night King and the Army of the Dead....

After being killed off in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Jason Voorhees was resurrected as a zombie in Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives. While Jason proved extremely hard to stop in Friday the 13th Parts 2, 3, and 4, he was still canonically a man. A very strong, fast, and imposing man to be sure, but a man nonetheless. Fueled by rage over the death of his mother Pamela in the original Friday the 13th film, Jason claimed a pile of victims over the course of those three sequels....

The “Mother Hen” of the group, Monica Geller is best known for her cleanliness, orderliness, competitiveness, and bossiness. Consequently, Monica’s most memorable moments originate from her obsessing over the state of her apartment, turning virtually anything into a competition, and doing her best to control absolutely everything and everyone. Whether it’s cleaning other people’s dirty cars, playing a “friendly” game of football, or barking orders military style, Monica’s antics never fail to make us laugh....

Apple tops many rankings, some objective, others subjective. The Top 15 Best Global Brands Ranking is among the latter, such things typically factoring in everything from market capitalisation through name awareness to brand loyalty, but it’s fun to see Apple rocket up the list … The fun begins in the year 2000, when Coca-Cola headed the list, with Microsoft close behind and IBM taking third place. The iPhone launch in 2007 doesn’t get Apple into the list, nor does the iPad in 2010....

Ever since the first scene of Game of Thrones, fans were anticipating the confrontation between the Night King’s Army of the Dead and the forces of the living in Westeros. After the growing threat of the dead broke through the Wall, the battle finally came in “The Long Night,” the final season’s third episode. Like much of the final season, “The Long Night” was hugely divisive. Many fans complained about the darkness of the episode, the anticlimactic feel, and the strange character choices....

As Game of Thrones fans prepare for the final season, the anticipation has reached a fever pitch. We’re finally ready to get the answer to a question 10 years in the making. Who will sit on the Iron Throne? While there are several possibilities, the two front runners are Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow. They’re two of the genuinely good people among Westeros’ leaders, and are pretty evenly matched in most categories....

A Digitimes report claims that Apple suppliers are facing pressure from Apple to reduce costs, with major players like Foxconn and Pegatron affected.

A major British supplier has also just posted the largest loss in its history …...
