[WARNING – This article contains SPOILERS for Game of Thrones season 6.] - With Game of Thrones season 6 reaching its final episodes, lines are being drawn and allegiances are being formed. The ‘war to come’ is still that between the living and the dead, which likely won’t truly happen until the HBO series’ final hours, but the petty squabbles between the different houses and factions of Westeros continue. To help make sense of just who is loyal to whom and where the battle lines will fall, we’ve compiled a guide listing the most important and influential groups within the Seven Kingdoms and beyond....

Game of Thrones packs plenty into a super-sized season 7 finale that offers more dramatic moments than you can shake a Valyrian steel sword at. The term “hasty” might best describe Game of Thrones season 7, and that’s not just because the series saw three fewer episodes than its usual 10-episode order. Either due to corporate mandate or the increasingly likely scenario that creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss found themselves running short on plot, the shortened season leaves the series in an awkward position where some might be questioning its ability to deliver the kind of ending initially considered to be a slam dunk at this point....

Developer Primate Labs announced Geekbench 5 in a blog post today detailing that the major release for macOS, iOS, and more “allows you to measure your system’s power more accurately than ever before....

There’s money in free. Please, bear with me, it may sound counter-intuitive, but why else are one-third of the top-grossing iPhone apps made available via the App Store free apps? In-app purchasing has opened up new opportunities to developers to entice users with quality apps for free (the carrot) and then to upsale new features, layers, levels or any other conceivable kind of virtual good (I bought an obelisk once) via in-app purchasing, GigaOm tells us....

Friends has become an iconic sitcom that has definitely lived beyond the 1990s. Of course, fans certainly have their favorite, and least favorite, characters of the gang at Central Perk. This show is hilarious and wholesome, but it’s also full of a mistakes that this group of friends makes throughout their lives. As much as Monica is competitive, ambitious, and the best hostess ever, she certainly has her fair share of mistakes throughout the series....

Friends isn’t really that old, but it is already considered a classic television show. There are lots of jokes on the series that are pretty much timeless, and lots of them are very clever as well. While many of the jokes that were featured on the show were really obvious, some of them were a little bit harder to figure out. Those who have watched the show multiple times might never get bored with it, since many fans have found out the meaning to jokes that they did not understand before....

[This is a review of the Galavant season 2 finale. There will be SPOILERS.] - For these past five weeks, Galavant has been an enjoyable spoof of all things medieval and fantasy, while also performing an average of three to four musical numbers per episode. That the series manages to squeeze in as much quality entertainment as it does in a 22-minute runtime is impressive, and especially on what is likely a meager budget at best....

Game of Thrones has experienced its fourth leak in four weeks. The HBO series is currently airing its 8th and final season, but these highly anticipated episodes keep being unveiled ahead of schedule. According to Deadline, the same thing appears to have happened again this week, with clips being posted well before viewers had access to the new installment. The leak apparently shows a pivotal moment from episode 4, which is set to air tonight....

HBO’s Game Of Thrones has forged a reputation as one of the most shocking shows to ever be aired on TV. With its free approach to gory violence, liberal attitude towards sex and nudity, and it’s “no character is safe from the pointy end of the sword” policy, it is no surprise the show creates a lot of controversy among both fans and critics. Despite an array of despicable events portrayed within the past five seasons, the one that has arguably garnered the most controversy was the season 5 rape of Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) by her psychotic new husband Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon)....

Joey Tribbiani had a lot of jobs in Friends, but one stands out as the most humiliating one: the VD poster, which was pasted all over New York City. Even worse: the poster appeared in another episode, showing just how big the campaign was. Created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, Friends debuted on NBC in 1994 and came to an end in 2004 after ten successful seasons. The series followed the lives of six young adults (Phoebe, Rachel, Monica, Joey, Chandler, and Ross) in New York City, doing their best to balance their social, personal, and professional lives....

These days, it seems like studios can make a film based on anything. The cinematic landscape is full of adaptations of novels, comic books, short stories, and even video games. Recently, however, a new trend is emerging. In an attempt to capitalize on recognizable brand names, executives have started to look at source material that doesn’t have a clear narrative through line (and hence, is difficult to craft a feature film around)....

After Facebook and Google had their Enterprise Certificates revoked by Apple, a new investigation by TechCrunch has revealed more companies exploiting the program for uses outside of the terms and conditions. Specifically, TC verified over two dozen gambling and porn apps that use the Enterprise Certificates to distribute their apps to non-employees, with thousands more likely doing the same. The publication also discovered just how easy it is to gain access to an Enterprise Certificate....

Warning: SPOILERS for Game of Thrones season 7 and A Song of Ice And Fire ahead! - Last week’s episode of Game of Thrones featured Jon Snow leading a ragtag group of men north of The Wall. The gang was something of a who’s who’s of Westeros’ toughest survivors, with each of them having avoided certain doom on more than one occasion. However, of these hardy heroes only two have actually beaten death itself: Beric Dondarrion and Jon Snow....

Jaime and Cersei Lannister’s death scene was a lot more plausible in the scripts for Game of Thrones season 8. The brother and sister met their demise in the penultimate episode, but their fate wasn’t confirmed until the Game of Thrones series finale. Leading up to Jaime and Cersei’s death in “The Bells,” Daenerys led her troops to King’s Landing. With the help of Drogon, she eviscerated the Golden Company as her forces moved through the streets of King’s Landing....

A Instagram post from country music legend Garth Brooks had some fans outraged. The post, which has over 69 thousand likes, was a thank you note from Brooks to the city of Detroit, which was the latest stop on his “Garth Brooks Stadium Tour.” The musician wore a Detroit Lions jersey during his performance in the Motor City, which was featured in the post. However, that’s only where the story begins....

French parliamentary deputies have voted in favor of legislation that would see execs from private companies jailed for refusal to hand over encrypted data to investigators, reports the Guardian. While no direct reference was made to the Apple/FBI battle, it is clear that this was behind the proposal. The controversial amendment, drafted by the rightwing opposition, stipulates that a private company which refuses to hand over encrypted data to an investigating authority would face up to five years in jail and a €350,000 (£270,000) fine....

Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a holiday staple, seen in various iterations this time of year, including Disney animated and Muppets children’s versions, the stop-motion animated variety, and more traditional outings like the films starring George C. Scott and Patrick Stewart. Then, there’s the subversive update, Scrooged, starring Bill Murray, which is always highly recommended this time of year. In other words, television — especially in the ongoing glut of content known as Peak TV — isn’t exactly in dire need of a new spin on the classic tale of redemption....
