It’s time to check in on our favorite machete-wielding serial killer, Jason Voorhees. The Friday the 13th franchise is nearly forty years old and Jason has had his fair share of glorious bloodstained moments. Jason has kept his machete arm strong throughout his endeavors at Camp Crystal Lake, New York, Hell, and even Elm Street. His legacy as a prime slasher villain is more than cemented. Audiences are familiar with his homicidal tendencies and obsession with goalie face garbs....

Fring (App Store Link) has always been our favorite iPhone instant messaging app…by far. Not only is it free, it was the first to allow Skype calls and SIP calls (including Google’s Gizmo5). It was also one of the first to have Push Notifications and it works across many smartphone platforms. Today’s iPhone update allows video calling to Skype users via the iPhone‘s built in camera. We misunderstood the video....

Fear not sequel fatigue, Frozen 2 has just become the highest grossing animated movie of all time. Frozen 2 released back in late November 2019 to mostly positive reviews, and has since skyrocketed to the highest echelon of the box office. It seems Disney played their cards right with the release of Frozen 2 by having the film launch worldwide the weekend before Thanksgiving, essentially ensuring the sequel wouldn’t face the same “challenges” its predecessor did....

Throughout its run, Game of Thrones has featured a production value that rivaled most major Hollywood films. In addition to detailed costumes and stunning CGI, the show is perhaps best known for its location shooting. Rather than shoot eveything in a studio, GoT uses real-life locations across the Western Hemisphere to represent Westeros. From the hills of Northern Ireland, to the glaciers of Iceland, Game of Throne’s production crew spared no expense in making the most detailed show possible....

As the cheeky, cunning Tyrion Lannister once said to Jon Snow, “My brother has his sword, and I have my mind.” Does he ever. During the eighth season of Game of Thrones, it is the smallest Lannister, Tyrion, who possessed the most smarts. Since his family received the accolades and held most of the political power, Tyrion used his charm, cunning, and wisdom to get by, and he succeeds in doing so many times....

They also tend to be some of the busiest people out there. Whether it’s running their own salon or freelancing for many clients, working in the service industry is often a huge juggle of handling client inquiries, managing a busy schedule, and oh yeah, actually looking after clients! And, on top of that, you have to also grow your business to keep new customers coming in the door! Phew! It’s enough to may you want to take a really long nap (or have a glass of vino) Because, with Instagram being such a visual platform, growing a hair or beauty business often means showing up consistently with stories, posts, and lives....

Update: One reviewer has suggested that the units were supplied on 10-day loan, with the expectation they would then be swapped for a US-specific model. It’s unclear whether Samsung is recalling the review units early, but at this point they are not being replaced with a US model. Just a day after Samsung confirmed reports that it was delaying the launch of its foldable smartphone after multiple reviewers reported serious problems with the folding display, the company is reportedly now taking back Galaxy Fold review units from tech writers and videographers....

Director David Nutter has come to the defense of the latest episode of Game of Thrones, and the way in which Jon Snow bid a final farewell to his loyal direwolf Ghost. Episode four of Game of Thrones’ eighth season, titled “The Last of the Starks”, saw Jon departing his home of Winterfell and sending Ghost off to the true north. Some were unsatisfied with the way the scene played out, as it seemed Ghost was once again being pushed out of focus....

Game of Thrones returns for a final season this month, but while the promos have been hyping a showdown with the Night King, the final battle will almost certainly be against Cersei Lannister. With a little help from an undead Viserion, the White Walkers have finally breached the Wall and are heading South to Winterfell. The battle between the living and the dead, the mystery of the Night King, and Jon Snow’s stand against them has been building since the opening scene of the very first episode....

Texas-based game retailer GameStop has taken a hit over the past year as users move game downloads to mobile devices and online platforms. While the company still maintains a two-thirds share of the retail market, its stock has taken a sharp 26 percent dive, leaving the company in need of a serious turn-around. We first reported last September that GameStop had begun taking in trade-ins of Apple’s devices, and we now have learned that was a part of the company’s master plan to bounce back....

Do a Google search for “Google in 1998.” When you get to the search results page, you might notice things look a bit, um, pre-turn of the century. That’s right, instead of the Google doodle of the day in the top-left, you can see an old school Google! logo. (That’s right, before there was “Jeb!”, Google was rocking the branded exclamation point.) Oh, and if you’re wondering why your cursor isn’t turning into a little hand when you mouseover links, it’s because cursors didn’t do that back in 1998....

HBO releases the Game of Thrones season 8 trailer, previewing the final season of the network’s wildly popular high fantasy drama. Game of Thrones kicked off in 2011, adapting George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series into the cinematic television series that has since captured fans around the globe. Over the course of seven seasons, fans have followed the lives, adventures and tragedies of a whole host of characters from Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen and Arya Stark to Tyrion Lannister and Brienne of Tarth....

Agilebits’ 1Password is a password management app for iOS, Mac and other platforms. I’ve been using 1Password for several years, migrating over from LastPass. In my opinion, there is no better app than 1Password for password and credit card management. In this week’s Friday 5, I explain five of my favorite 1Password features. Syncing I prefer 1Password for a lot of different reasons, but I especially like the fact that you have a choice as to where your password information resides....

Like many other classic horror movies from the 70s and 80s, Friday the 13th had its share of production blunders, including being unable to cast the role of Pamela Voorhees. Because the role was so vital to the film, given that Pamela Voorhees was Friday the 13th’s original killer, it’s surprising that director Sean S. Cunningham took so long to cast the role. Eventually, Cunningham found Betsy Palmer, who stepped up to the role and became known for it, despite her initial thoughts that nobody would go out and see the film....

We’re not new to the wild and complex relationship that is Ross and Rachel, right? Well, for all Friends fans, it might be difficult to keep track of all the wonderful and terrible things these two do to each other. While it’s more than obvious that these two actually do some pretty selfless and amazing things for each other, they also have some pretty petty moments. In case you’ve forgotten, we’ve made a list....

If you want full-speed Verizon 5G when it comes online around the end of the year, you’re going to have to splash out on one of the company’s premium plans. The company made the admission about its 5G plans during a Virtual Investor Day presentation … Background We’ve noted before that what is currently billed as 5G by both AT&T and Verizon is often a hybrid of 4G and 5G coverage known as dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS)....

NOTE: This article contains SPOILERS for U.S.Avengers #1 - As far as movie fans are concerned, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has defined (at least for the moment) the absolute top heroes of their universe as the one of a kind Avengers, a roster filled with the likes of Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and a few human teammates. But as comic fans know, the heroes who make up Marvel’s chief super team are on a near-constant rotation - and given the fallout of Captain America: Civil War, the movie is soon to follow suit....

With just four episodes left in its first season, the TV adaptation/continuation of What We Do in the Shadows gets a season 2 renewal from FX. Long in development, the pseudo-sequel to Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement’s 2014 mockumentary of the same name finally premiered on the cable network in late March, earning positive reviews for the writing and the cast, which includes, Matt Berry (The IT Crowd), Kayvan Novak (Four Lions), Natalie Demetriou (Sick Note), and Beanie Feldstein (Booksmart)....

There were a lot of big deaths on Game of Thrones, but nothing quite satisfying as when King Joffrey was poisoned at his own wedding. Joffrey was a cruel king, a spoiled brat, and the person responsible for the death of Ned Stark as well as the mistreatment of several of the most beloved characters on the show. With so many key characters being killed on the show, it’s easy to overlook the impact of Joffrey’s death had going forward....

From the Youtube Movies site, click the down arrow on Categories and click Free Movies. Either Google is diving head-on into the Nigerian Porn business or the engineering geeks at YouTube didn’t bother to check its algorithm recently. Right at the top of the Free Listings is Mad Sex 2, BlackBerry Babes (Hmm… a tech movie?) and Naked Girls. All available for any user on YouTube. Parents won’t appreciate Google making it so easy for kids to get their hands on this stuff — not that one can’t find plenty of porn out there on the Internet....
