Lord Petyr Baelish, aka Littlefinger, was a master manipulator on Game of Thrones and there was speculation that he was the father of Robin Arryn. Littlefinger served as the Master of Coin on the small council appointed by King Robert Baratheon, and later, King Joffrey Baratheon. In addition, Littlefinger owned the brothels in King’s Landing as a way to gain information on important figures throughout Westeros. He was an expert spy and often manipulated those around him for his own personal gain....

Today, a team of designers and developers unveiled an incredible new Mac app dubbed “Freezeframe” that lets you save different workspaces for later. The app essentially takes a snapshot in time of your windows and tabs and lets you return to them through a handy menu bar icon. It’s like Mission Control on steroids. Freezeframe can freeze your window arrangement and save it for later. The app drops that snapshot into a menu bar list....

He might be best known as Norman Bates from Bates Motel but Freddie Highmore has been part of many movies and TV shows over the years – here’s where else you’ve seen the actor. Born in 1992, Freddie Highmore began his career in the entertainment business when he was seven years old and hasn’t stopped working ever since. Highmore went from child star to one of the most respected young actors of his generation thanks to his role in Bates Motel....

Hawkeye’s line about hope in Avengers: Endgame became one of Clint Barton’s defining moments in the MCU, but Fringe had the idea first. From the minds of J. J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, Fringe first aired in 2008 and ran for five seasons, gaining a cult following with its cutting-edge science fiction and unmistakable character chemistry. Fringe’s central trio of characters included skeptical FBI agent, Olivia, the archetypal mad scientist, Walter, and his brash, estranged child prodigy son, Peter....

If you own a ScanSnap scanner from Fujitsu, we’ve got good news for you. You may have noticed that the ScanSnap app for macOS is 32-bit, prompting a compatibility warning when you open it. Recently, however, Fujitsu has released a new ScanSnap app that fully embraces the 64-bit Mac future. Apple first started warning users of 32-bit applications earlier this year, implementing a popup notification explaining that 32-bit apps “need to be updated by their developer to improve compatibility....

A brand new Forum, Video Wall, and signature pivoting glass doors welcome shoppers to the new Apple Natick Collection. Natick’s store is the 7th out of 11 stores in Massachusetts to be updated with Apple’s contemporary design language. Like all recent designs, the space is significantly wider than it is deep, opening the storefront to its surrounding environment. In order to increase customer capacity, Apple absorbed a former J.Crew store next door....

My plan as a young boy was to be a pilot, and it wasn’t until my early 20s that I pivoted a bit to serving as an engineer down below the decks of a ship instead of cruising above the sea in the air. I won’t be able to evaluate the new Garmin D2 Air X10, but I can certainly appreciate its capabilities as an assistant or backup for pilots....

A reader sent this in. He was apparently able to make iPad-only GarageBand run on an iPhone 4 using a hack that requires a jailbroken device. It involves transferring the GarageBand application with changed metadata to an iPhone 4 via OpenSSH. “Surprisingly, it didn’t crash as much as I expected it to do”, he writes. It obviously isn’t the perfect solution because as GarageBand for iPad isn’t formatted for a slightly lower iPhone 4 resolution but it works well enough....

A Friends reunion is in development thanks to HBO Max, but it won’t be the type of reunion fans have been waiting for. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, Friends premiered on NBC in 1994 and came to an end in 2004 after 10 seasons. Friends is considered as one of the best TV shows of all time, and is still very popular in big part thanks to Netflix, where the series has been available to stream for the past few years....

While her murder wasn’t shown onscreen, a deleted scene revealed who really killed Daenerys handmaiden Irri in Game Of Thrones season 2. Game Of Thrones is based on a series of fantasy books by George R.R. Martin, which were renowned for their great characters, rich mythology and shocking twists. The HBO adaptation debuted in 2011 and within a few years it had become one of the biggest shows on the planet....

Here’s why a messy rights lawsuit prevents Friday The 13th: The Game from receiving future updates. The original Friday The 13th was heavily inspired by the success of Halloween. John Carpenter’s 1978 slasher was made for a tiny budget and later became one of the most successful independent movies of all time. Friday The 13th director Sean S. Cunningham designed his movie around the formula pioneered by Halloween, featuring a group of camp counselors being picked off one by one by a mystery killer....

Following the story of Cook offering to give Jobs his liver, Cook is quoted as saying the Isaacson book did the late CEO a ‘disservice’. In very similar words to how Cue described the (unrelated) film about Jobs at SXSW, Cook says ‘The person I read about there is somebody I would never have wanted to work with over all this time’. Cook also recalls how Jobs would call up his mother on the pretense of finding Cook, but in reality just wanted to talk to his parents about convincing Cook to have more of a social life....

Daenerys from Game of Thrones was a fearsome ruler with a strong cause but lacked the foresight to ensure she didn’t become her father. As one of the protagonists (turned villains) of the show, Daenerys sought to do good with her selfless nature. But despite her positive characteristics, she made some regrettable mistakes along the way. Whether it’s letting her ego get the better of her or simply being selfish, Daenerys’s list of wrongdoings leads to her inevitable downfall in the season finale....

While the characters on Friends incredibly iconic, so are many of their outfits. Rachel’s hair might have inspired a generation of women, but throughout the show, each character ends up wearing some incredibly memorable pieces of clothing. Of course, with any good sitcom, not all of those outfits are iconic and memorable for the right reasons. Some of the outfits that are worn on the show are truly horrendous, some by design and others simply due to the era....

From the day that Friends came to an end people have wanted to see the show return. The sitcom has a legion of loyal fans who constantly speculate what the group may or may not be up to after the series ran its course, and it’s truly impossible to predict. However, with the Friendsreunion special on HBO Max giving everyone hope that more could be coming, more stories from these beloved characters have never been closer....
