Samsung is the biggest smartphone maker on the planet, but Apple’s tight reigns on the US market give the company a run for its money. Now, a report on last year’s numbers reveals that Apple absolutely dominated the US market while Samsung had the most successful Android phones of 2019. Counterpoint Research today published numbers on the smartphone market for 2019 and the numbers are actually a bit surprising. Through the year on the global stage, Apple iPhone models took up six of the top ten spots for the year with the iPhone XR, 11, 8, 11 Pro Max, 7, and XS Max in that order....

Watching The Battle of Winterfell on Game of Thrones was one of the most intense experiences in television history. There were moments of absolute heartbreak (we’re looking at you, Lyanna Mormont) and there were moments of utter redemption (don’t mess with Arya Stark.) The episode was so iconic, it was no doubt that there would be a ton of memes centered around The Battle of Winterfell crowding the internet the following day....

Game of Thrones is one of the most successful TV shows ever, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are hundreds, if not thousands of memes online focused on the show and its heroes. The colorful bunch comprising the Game of Thrones’ characters certainly fits into memes and one of those heroes who often appears in them is Sansa Stark. Sansa went from a spoiled noble girl to a strong young woman, and, while her path was far from easy, it included a lot of intriguing moments and especially people who are now a part of the memes as well as Sansa herself....

HBO has begun filming its untitled Game of Thrones prequel series. Based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Game of Thrones premiered on HBO in 2011 and only just finished its eighth and final season in late-May. The show’s last season was incredibly popular in terms of ratings, but struggled to impress critics - who took the season to task for its rushed pacing, unearned narrative payoffs, and dazzling yet hollow spectacle - and continues to be heavily debated and/or discussed by general viewers online almost a month after its finale aired....

Gamescom, the biggest video game trade fair in the world, is set to feature over 15 world premieres from AAA game developers before it opens this year from Aug. 20th through Aug. 24th. Held in Cologne, Germany, since 2009, Gamescom is commonly used by game developers and entertainment companies from all around the world to show off new hardware and exhibit some of their upcoming games.

How do you become the single longest-running daytime television series ever? Well, you need to ask the team behind General Hospital, because they clearly know what they’re doing! Impressive doesn’t even begin to cover it once we realize that the soap opera has been on the air for almost six decades. This adds up to thousands of episodes and over five hundred award nominations. Maybe it’s because of it’s guilty pleasure quality, maybe it’s because of the complex and outrageous storylines....

When Phil Schiller unveiled the iPhone 5 in front of a sea of exclusively invited press last September, he proudly stated that the smartphone is “an absolute jewel.” Schiller went on to say that the iPhone “is the most beautiful product we have ever made. Bar none.” So when Apple decidedly refrained from releasing a Bumper case for the iPhone 5 as it had done for the previous iPhone design, it was immediately clear that Apple wanted to showcase its new “jewel” and leave case making to third party companies....

As the final season of Game Of Thrones inches ever nearer, fans are hotly debating how the hit show will end - and who will end it atop the Iron Throne. Since season one, the rulership of Westeros has been bitterly fought over, and while everyone has their own opinions over who should rule (and who will), a clear fan-favorite has to be Jon Snow… aka Aegon Targaryen. In season six, it was revealed that Jon is actually not the Bastard of Winterfell, but the child of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, born at the end of Robert’s Rebellion in the Tower of Joy....

Warning! SPOILERS ahead for the Game of Thrones season 8 premiere. The Game of Thrones season 8 premiere finally sees Jon Snow learn the truth about his parents, explaining to audiences in the process why he - and not Daenerys - is the true heir to the Iron Throne. The truth of who Jon’s parents really are has loomed over Game of Thrones for the entire show. Initially, those questions were about who is the woman who could make the honorable Ned Stark betray his vows and sire a bastard, but as the HBO series went on, it became apparent that the mystery of Jon’s parentage was far more complicated....

Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss deliver the bad news to Jason Momoa that Khal Drogo has been killed off in a hilarious bit from Jimmy Kimmel Live. Ever since the shocking demise of Ned Stark in season 1, Game of Thrones fans have gotten used to the fact that any character can die at any time, even good guys who have become fan favorites. Over the years, Game of Thrones has killed off many more popular characters like Catelyn and Robb Stark - both of whom met their end at the infamous Red Wedding - and even killed Jon Snow as part of a cliffhanger that was ultimately resolved by Snow’s resurrection courtesy of Melisandre....

The short answer is a resounding “yes.” Chances are you’ve heard of GDPR or perhaps recall EU companies scrambling to become compliant with data and privacy regulations in May 2018. However, the impact of GDPR on digital marketing is ongoing and businesses in the EU aren’t the only ones affected. Marketers should take the time to understand the implications of GDPR, privacy laws and what it all means when it comes to social media....

Share Apps With Other Trusted Friends and Family Apple’s current method of Home Sharing makes you pair your account with another family member to share apps. Not everyone wants to do that. On desktop and mobile devices, you can only have one person logged in at a time. Sharing works a bit differently on the Apple TV.

The cast of the beloved sitcom Friends have reportedly signed a deal to appear on an unscripted reunion special for HBO Max, helping to launch the upcoming streaming service. Although the NBC comedy premiered in 1994, and ended all the way back in 2004, it may feel to some like the Central Perk gang have never really gone away. The series has stayed in the public consciousness thanks to syndication, later gaining a newfound popularity with a younger generation of fans due to streaming....

FNAF Security Breach or Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach is a cool game that offers you a lot of familiar and new characters to the series. However, unfortunately, not each character that you saw in the last Security Breach game kept their purpose, but guess what? They leave a memorable impact on users’ minds. Meanwhile, some of the characters will also be upgraded for Freddy Fazbear, which is remarkable. Anyway, did you get any idea why we are here today?...

Outside of the Wall or the Red Keep, Winterfell is arguably the most iconic location in author George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series and its wildly popular HBO adaptation, Game of Thrones. The ancestral home of House Stark, this ancient castle – which serves as the unofficial capital of the North – has played host to several key events over the course of the narrative....

Jaime Lannister is one of the most complex and interesting characters in Game of Thrones. The Lannister knight started life in the show as the central villain, after he pushed a young Bran Stark from the Winterfell tower and frequently clashed with Ned and Catelyn Stark. However, as the series went on, Jaime started to redeem himself to a certain extent. All of the damage he received, both mental and physical, appeared to reveal the diamond within....

The events of Game of Thrones season 8 will likely play out differently in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, but it may still have confirmed a book readers’ Targaryen fan theory. Season 8 was a Targaryen-heavy season, with a focus given to Daenerys’ descent into ‘madness’ and aim to take the Iron Throne for herself, which in part was inspired by the reveal that Jon Snow himself is really Aegon Targaryen....

What is the motivation for CISA to create resources to reduce ransomware risk? We should begin by understanding and accepting that there is no such thing as perfect cybersecurity. Every computer system that man has ever developed is vulnerable to a certain extent and thus needs to be secured. CISA understands this and that is why it partnered with Infosec to host a ransomware webinar with Amy Nicewick, the Communications Management Section Chief Cyber Security Division at CISA, and David Stern, the Head of Cyber Security Communications Management Section Chief of Cyber Security....
