With a low-slung roofline and intensely contemporary architecture, the new Apple University Village stands in stark contrast to the company’s outgoing location next door. We previously detailed the shopping center’s history and how Apple has the opportunity to cultivate a warm, community atmosphere through friendly and accessible design. This morning at 9:30 a.m., customers streamed onto the store’s breezy porch, where visitors can stop to sit and chat. The Seattle Times detailed some of the project’s impressive new design elements, including the custom teak Adirondack chairs set outside....

Joffrey Baratheon is often cited as the most hated character on Game Of Thrones. It makes sense - he’s a spoiled brat who gains too much power and goes on to be a murderer. He’s needlessly cruel towards everyone around him and abusive - yes, place him in most shows, and he’d be the worst character on there, hands down. But the truth is, in Westeros, there are actually people worse than Joffrey....

After some seven years on our screens, two of the biggest Game of Thrones characters finally met in season 7 to tease the mother of all alliances. However, actress Emilia Clarke said that it was all a bit “weird” when she first shared a scene with co-star Kit Harington. The world of Westeros got a little smaller in episode 3, “The Queen’s Justice,” as Jon Snow sailed to Dragonstone to shore up some resources from Queen Daenerys Targaryen....

WARNING: Spoilers for Game of Thrones season 8, episode 4. - Game of Thrones season 8, episode 4 sends Daenerys and her armies south, but on the way a surprise attack from Euron Greyjoy kills another of her dragons - Rhaegal, the dragon Jon rode for the first time just episodes earlier. As the final season of the hit HBO series, it was always expected that more major characters would die before the end, but there’s something especially sad about losing another of these incredible creatures....

[Spoilers for the Game of Thrones season 7 finale ahead!] - The minds behind HBO’s Game of Thrones have known how the Wall would come down for years. During last night’s dramatic season 7 finale, the Night King used an undead dragon to bring the wall crashing to the ground. After he killed Viserion in the episode ‘Beyond the Wall’, the Night King resurrected the giant creature and rode it, unleashing a blue flame that completely destroys a section of the wall....

It’s safe to say that, after nearly two years away, expectations for the final season of Game of Thrones, were sky high. With only six episodes in its final season (some longer than the average episode) series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are under a tremendous amount of pressure to bring what is arguably the biggest television show in the history of the medium to an end that lives up to the seven (okay, six) seasons of subversive storytelling that came before....

A battle of ice and fire arrives in Westeros with a new Game of Thrones season 8 teaser trailer. HBO has turned George R. R. Martin’s book series into one of the biggest ongoing TV show. Just as with all good things though, Game of Thrones nearing the debut of the eighth and final season. Game of Thrones routinely pulls in large amounts of viewers after building up a dedicated hardcore following through the first seven seasons....

Steam’s Gabe Newell said in a statement to users:...

The conflict between the Starks and the Lannisters was a consistent plot thread throughout Game of Thrones. It was this conflict that Littlefinger exploited in order to trigger the War of Five Kings. The Lannisters are typically considered to be the most politically astute due to their actions in the destruction of House Reyne, as well as the Red Wedding that shocked Game of Thrones viewers around the world. However, just because the Lannisters have a reputation for intelligence, it doesn’t mean that the Starks are completely inept....

To say that Game of Thrones fans are waiting on the edge of their seats for the new (and final) season of the show would be the understatement of a century. Frankly, April 14th just can’t come soon enough. The anticipation and anxiety that GoT fans are feeling all across the globe is the main reason why so many of them are scouring the internet for as many leaks and spoilers from the final season as possible....

Jon Lovitz was one of the very first established celebrities to cameo on Friends, but he didn’t reappear on the show until several years later. The actor’s first appearance occurred in Friends season 1 as Steve. Lovitz later reprised his role eight years later, the longest span of a returning character in the series, even though there were plenty of celebrity cameos during that time. Over the show’s decade-long run, Friends was known for its ample amount of guest stars....

FX has an impressive slate of shows set to premiere and continue in the second quarter of 2017. The network is coming off an extraordinary, awards-winning run that included The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story and Atlanta, from creator, writer, and star Donald Glover. The former took home Emmy gold, while the other garnered two Golden Globes just last week. Obviously, with that kind of momentum, the network is clearly looking to run full steam ahead into the New Year....

I’m a very long-time iPhone user. In fact, I’ve never had an Android phone as my personal phone before. Although I had been curious about Android phones in the past, I was okay with Apple’s ecosystem. More recently, foldable smartphones have become a thing, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want one. Now I have finally had the opportunity to try out the Galaxy Z Flip 3 for the past month....

There aren’t many companies as accomplished as Garmin regarding fitness tracking and accurate workout data. Of course, it’s been making watches for years, and you may have believed you need to expend a lot of money to get all the great features you require, but – as is shown in the Vivoactive 4 – that’s not necessarily the case. But, unfortunately, for some users, Vivoactive 4 is not working really well as they regularly complain about some errors in the watch....

Cloud isn’t a new game, in fact, it has been around for a few years now. It was created by Jenova Chen, the maker of flOw, back when he was attending the University of Southern California’s Interactive Media Division. In 2006 it took home 3 awards for its innovative approach to gaming and has been featured in several gaming magazines. Cloud focuses on non-violent artistic values and was one of the first of its kind to spark the huge controversy drawing the line between games and art....
