New details have emerged from Game Of Thrones’ infamously bad pilot. Game Of Thrones is based on author George R.R. Martin’s series of fantasy novels A Song Of Ice And Fire, and the show quickly became a worldwide phenomenon. Prior to this, fantasy shows were a hard sell, but Games Of Thrones hooked viewers with its great characters, shocking plot twists and lavish production design. Fans of the show have probably heard of the original pilot episode, which turned out so bad it was almost entirely reshot....

NOTE: This article contains SPOILERS for Weapon X #1 - It’s an unavoidable truth that every hero must eventually fall… or in the case of Wolverine, who can’t die, you might just wind up obsolete. And thanks to the newly-launched version of the Weapon X Program, the Marvel Universe may finally have soldiers deadly enough to take down Wolverine. Granted, it’s still the older, less virile, Old Man Logan version of Wolverine, but that shouldn’t take away from the victory achieved in the debut issue of Marvel’s Weapon X series....

We first heard about NBCUniversal’s upcoming streaming service, Peacock, back in September. We learned some initial details from The Hollywood Reporter but there wasn’t any information about pricing. Now it seems that NBC is considering making the service free for all with ads that could help as it’s set to compete with Apple TV+ and Disney+. The previous report from THR detailed that Peacock will include over 15,000 hours of NBC content including The Office and may launch in April 2020....

One of the most common criticisms and complaints about Netflix’s The Witcher has been the timelines. The show — at least, for the first season — made the controversial decision not to follow a linear narrative and instead explored the idea of converging timelines that are each set in different periods, meaning that people who expected a more cohesive story were lost and confused. Although many reviewers complained, the simple reality is that the show isn’t a “background watch” — it’s one that demands attention so you can follow where everyone is, catch the hints that the show drops to keep you clued in....

The new Xcode 9.1 beta has also been released by Apple today with support for the new operating system updates: iOS 11.1, watchOS 4.1 and tvOS 11.1.

We learned yesterday that the 2018 MacBook Pros include Apple’s True Tone technology. What we didn’t know was that apparently this will also extend to Apple’s Thunderbolt Display, and the LG UltraFine 4K and 5K displays when plugged into the notebooks as well. According to a support document from Apple, all three displays will work with True Tone, just like the internal display. While the support document is fairly vague, it’s safe to assume that the notebook’s display will have to be open in order for this to work....

Earlier this year, 440,000 Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were recalled following the discovery of a critical safety flaw that could accidentally deactive the system. Today, Nest has put the Protect back on sale at a reduced price of $99—previously $129. However, the “wave” feature that allowed the user to disable the alarm with a hand gesture has been removed. In the blog post announcing the return of the Protect, the company boasted some of its safety statistics and recounted the story of one Nest Protect user who was alerted to the presence of carbon monoxide in his home by the device, which saved his life....

Netflix users will no longer be able to assign star ratings to the films and shows they have watched, reports FastCompany, as the streaming service switches instead to a simply binary like/dislike system. The change is said to be happening ‘in a few weeks.’ While the move makes little sense on the surface, providing far less scope to provide the feedback that drives future recommendations, Netflix claims that the stars we award are less relevant than we might think …...

The Politician’s season 1 finale begins with a big jump forward in time, and sets up an exciting new political campaign for Payton Hobart (Ben Platt) in season 2.

We’re just a week away from the expected announcement of Apple’s streaming video service. While details are still sparse, a report earlier today listed five TV shows that have already wrapped shooting. Despite the looming unveil, however, analysts remain skeptical of the effects Apple’s video service will have on its long-term business. Meanwhile, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings today confirmed that the company has no intentions to be a part of Apple’s upgraded TV application…...

Another little addition to the New MacBook Pros is that they’ll charge an iPad as quickly as the wall charger. The previous MacBook Pros, as evidenced by this page on Ars, shows 500mA as available with another 500mA “Extra Operating Current” The new MacBookPros show this: That combined 2100 mA of power is about the same as the wall power adapter for the iPad. New iPad a modest upgrade? All new MacBook Pros in 2012?...

New Mutants director Josh Boone thinks the Fox and Marvel filmmakers learned the wrong things from X-Men Apocalypse’s failure. The 2016 movie was the third outing from the soft reboot/prequel series of the franchise. Many had high hopes for it considering the success of its predecessors - X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Unfortunately, it was a major let-down. Few years and X-Men: Dark Phoenix later, the Fox Marvel Universe is now officially dead....

At the end of August, Apple announced that set-to-retire Bob Mansfield would continue his role with the company and Craig Federighi and Dan Riccio would step into executive roles.
