Thanksgiving episodes of the hit show Friends are as big a part of the holiday as turkey and stuffing. In the wake of a monthlong celebration of the series’ 25th anniversary, fans will have the opportunity keep the party going by watching Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Ross (David Schwimmer), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courteney Cox) and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) gather together to give thanks on big screens across the country....

A special event was recently organized to celebrate Friends’ 25th anniversary, but it was so disappointing, the organizers are offering customers refunds. Fans all over the world commemorated the special milestone in various ways, but it sounds like those who gathered for this specific event were less than pleased with how things turned out. Debuting in 1994, Friends ran for 10 successful seasons with an accumulated of 236 episodes. It centered on a group of mid-20s people living in New York City and catapulted Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Courtney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), David Schwimmer (Ross), Matthew Perry (Chandler) and Matt LeBlanc (Joey) to mainstream popularity....

The Frozen 2 trailer broke the all-time views record for an animated movie. Disney scored one of their biggest hits ever with the original Frozen, released in 2013. Not only was the film a massive commercial success (totaling $1.2 billion worldwide), it was also a critical smash and took home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. With all that in mind, it was a foregone conclusion the Mouse House had a new franchise on their hands, and Frozen 2 was officially announced back in 2015....

Back in 2013, Disney animation churned out a mega-hit with Frozen, which went on to gross $1.28 billion, earn the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and garner two Grammys. The film, along with its Idina Menzel-led song “Let It Go,” dominated popular culture for much of 2014, and left a lasting impression on kids and adults alike. Disney aptly announced in 2015 that they would be moving forward with a sequel to the animated hit, currently called Frozen 2....

Game of Thrones’ House Stark is one of the most ancient families in Westeros. They can trace their lineage back 8000 years to the First Men of Westeros, before the Andals visited the country and before the first Long Night even happened. The Starks are famously known for traits including honor and bravery, as well as being well known for faults including naivety and presuming the best of others. That being said, it would be wrong to suggest that the Starks are completely devoided of intelligence....

A second Game of Thrones prequel series is on the brink of getting a pilot order, and will reportedly focus on the history of House Targaryen 300 years before the original series begins - and around a century after the Doom of Valyria. This cataclysmic event completely shifted the history of Game of Thrones world, creating a power vacuum in Essos and leaving the remaining Targaryens in search of a new land to conquer....

Here’s the story behind House Lannister’s origin in Game of Thrones. House Lannister was one of the richest and most powerful Great Houses that ever existed. The dynasty ruled the western region of Westeros for thousands of years, dating back to the Age of Heroes. House Lannister was involved in many of the violent confrontations between the royal families featured throughout Game of Thrones. House Lannister became the royal house of the Seven Kingdoms after the death of King Robert and the fall of House Baratheon....

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen initially appeared as the ultimate power couple of Game Of Thrones. However, we soon learn that the lovers are secretly aunt and nephew as Jon is the trueborn son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, and the heir to the Iron Throne. Jon’s relationship with Dany ends in disaster after the Dragon Queen snaps in season eight’s controversial “The Bells.” After destroying King’s Landing, Daenerys declares war on the rest of the world and Jon later stabs her through the heart to protect his family....

There’s no question that Tyrion Lannister, the most famous imp in all of Westeros, was a massive fan-favorite throughout all eight Game of Thrones seasons. No matter the dire circumstances, you could always count on Tyrion for a good laugh with his hysterical and sarcastic wit. Even though the show’s eighth and final season left a bad taste in most fans’ mouths, people clung on to their love for Tyrion and even wished he had been the one to wind up on the now destroyed iron throne....

Warning: SPOILERS for the Game of Thrones series finale ahead! - Game of Thrones has ended and we now know the fate of Sansa Stark - she is crowned Queen in the North. The season 8 finale, “The Iron Throne” brings HBO’s epic tale of ice and fire to a dramatic and, in some ways, surprising conclusion. The ending to Game of Thrones is indeed bittersweet, but thankfully, Sansa receives one of the sweeter endings on the show....

If you’ve ever despaired of getting your kids to brush their teeth properly without close parental supervision, Kolibree may have the solution: a smartphone-linked toothbrush that reports back to an iPhone or Android app how well they did, and creates family league tables to turn tooth-brushing into a competitive sport. Engadget reports that the Bluetooth-connected toothbrush is equipped with an accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope. You calibrate it to the shape of your mouth first, and it uses this model – together with data supplied by dentists – to get a percentage score of how well each Kolibree user in the family cleaned their teeth....

Clayton Morris at Fox says that new iMacs will launch soon, perhaps as early as next week during the iPhone event or even after the rumored October event, but he seems to think they will be available for the holidays. It appears that Morris changed his story from “releasing next week” but there is no mention of that on the Fox News website. Only this tweet: [tweet https://twitter.com/claytonmorris/status/244079886107566080] There has been no shortage of new iMac rumors, and supplies have been dwindling in a number of retail channels....

Fox is developing a new Planet of the Apes film under the Disney umbrella with director Wes Ball. Originating in 1968, the Planet of the Apes movie franchise experienced a new wave of popularity thanks to the rebooted series that began with 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Starring Andy Serkis as Caesar, Rise spawned two critically-acclaimed sequels - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes - forming one of the decade’s strongest cinematic trilogies....

Days after reporting that Foxconn will no longer be building its Wisconsin factory, the company is reversing course yet again following new discussions with President Trump. Foxconn now says that it will build the factor following “productive discussions” with the White House. However, it remains unclear what level of work will be hosted at the plant, as a report by Reuters last week claimed the $10 billion factory would mostly house high-paid engineers, rather than lower paying factory jobs....

We love the 90s sitcom, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where we all first fell in love with Will Smith as an actor. This hilarious sitcom was one of the first to touch on a rich, black family in the United States, and these characters are full of quirkiness and charm. While we may laugh at all of the ridiculous scenes the show has to offer, this sitcom also did quite an impressive job at tackling some real life issues....

Hacking Team is known for exposing zero-day vulnerabilities, the loopholes in software which are unknown to the vendor. The loopholes are further exploited by the clients to discreetly inject the target with their software. As a matter of fact, the researchers have also found out several zero-days in the deluge of leaked e-mails since last month. The company’s update labeled MS15-078 has fixed a flaw in the rendering of OpenType fonts which is jointly created by Adobe and Microsoft....

It’s beginning to look like fans of FromSoftware may finally be seeing more of Elden Ring at next month’s Taipei Game Show. Although the developer has been around in the video game industry since 1994, releasing titles like King’s Field and Armored Core on the original PlayStation console, it wasn’t until 2011’s Dark Souls that FromSoftware became a household name in the gaming world, and their following entries in the Souls franchise, as well as other titles like Bloodborne, only solidified their foothold....

Futurama is perhaps one of the most loved series out there. At least, if the number of times it has been brought back by its fans is anything to go by. The series has a huge litany of amazing episodes. But this isn’t a typical top ten list. No, instead, we’re going to talk about Futurama, and some of the groundbreaking plots the series has had over it’s run (which never felt long enough)....

Philips Hue outdoor products have been available since this past July, when the first wave of light strips, luminaries, spotlights, and bollard lights went up for sale. For 2019, flood lights and an “Econic” line of contemporary fixtures have been created. Additional models will be available in the European market. In person, each light in the collection offers even and clean lighting and felt suitably bright to light up a yard without casting harsh shadows....

Game of Thrones has been off the air for six months and fans are still not over it. The quality of season eight is still being debated, and the output of quality fanart and fanfiction remains high. That doesn’t mean official content isn’t still being created, it’s just that the official content is more of a look back than a look forward. Earlier this month, on November 5, Insight Editions released its behind the scenes book, Game of Thrones the Costumes, the Official Book from Season 1 to Season 8....
