Jorah Mormont had a notoriously bad love life in Game of Thrones. Though he is an honorable man, a great warrior and a wise counsel to powerful people, a lot of people know him as the guy who was friend zoned by Daenerys. Despite initially selling Daenerys out to Robert Baratheon, Jorah becomes her most devoted followers and falls in love with her, even as he sees her choose several other men over him....
This is the season of Game of Thrones where the television series surpasses the novels, adapting material author George R.R. Martin has yet to publish. It’s an unusual situation for an adaptation to be adapting an unfinished work, but neither HBO or Martin appear bothered, especially while Game of Thrones only gets more popular every day. When the season 6 trailer dropped, it quickly garnered millions of views, setting a new record for HBO....
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....
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....

In order to increase customer capacity, Apple absorbed a former J.Crew store next door....
Game Of Thrones never really gave a clear answer but was Hizdahr zo Loraq a spy for the Sons of the Harpy? It’s doubtful anyone involved with Game Of Thrones expected the series to explode in the way it did. Fantasy shows were typically something of a hard sell to audiences prior to Game Of Thrones, and while George R. R. Martin’s book series was critically praised, the success of the show was far from a given....
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....
Although tobacco use has never been particularly prominent in Microsoft’s flagship cover shooter, it was rumored that Gears of War 5 would be removing all references to smoking as a result of anti-tobacco activism. But lead developer Rod Fergusson says the choice was made due to personal preference. This comes directly after reports that anti-smoking organization, Truth Initiative successfully lobbied Gears of War developer The Coalition to cut all tobacco references and imagery from its upcoming sequel....

The games that will be available for PlayStation Plus subscribers to download in August have been revealed and they are Wipeout: Omega Collection and Sniper Elite 4. That means there isn’t much time left to claim July’s selection of games from PlayStation Plus, which are Detroit: Become Human (which came with a free copy of Heavy Rain) and Horizon Chase Turbo. Last month’s selection of games was controversial, as Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 was originally slated to be one of the free games, but it was replaced with Detroit: Become Human/Heavy Rain at the last minute with no explanation as to why....
FX’s Y: The Last Man comic book adaptation has recruited Eliza Clark to serve as its new showrunner. Written by by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Pia Guerra (among others) from 2002-2008, the original Y: The Last Man comics tell the story of Yorick Brown, the last man alive in a post-apocalyptic future after a mysterious plague wipes out every other human possessing a Y chromosome.

HBO programming chief Casey Bloys has addressed a fan petition demanding Game of Thrones season 8 be remade. The final season of HBO’s epic fantasy saga is in the books, and critical and fan reaction to the ending has been mixed to say the least. At the top of the list of complaints about Thrones’ final season was the decision to have long-time character Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) turn bad at the last minute, unleashing the full fury of her dragon on the (mostly) innocent civilians of King’s Landing....
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....
