Although it’s weighed down by its hackneyed biopic framework, Harriet has a spirit and heart befitting of its daring namesake and her legacy. Harriet Tubman’s long overdue Hollywood biography has arrived, and it both is and isn’t the film you’re expecting. On one level, Harriet is exactly the type of respectful, yet formulaic testament to the incredible life of a historical figure that comes out every awards season and earns polite applause, but is mostly forgotten thereafter....

It is easy to be tempted by those ads promising to send you a set number of followers for a relatively small price. But, as we’ve explained previously, buying Instagram followers is a really bad idea. It is far better to use genuine ways to get more Instagram followers. It may take longer than buying fake followers, but your earned followers will make much better followers and you don’t risk damaging your account and reputation....

Three market intelligence companies have provided their estimates of global smartphone shipments in Q1, putting yesterday’s Apple earnings report into perspective. Apple yesterday announced that iPhone revenue for calendar Q1 (fiscal Q2) was down from $31.05B in 2019 to $28.96B this year, a relatively modest fall of 6.7%. The comparative estimates from IDC, Counterpoint and Omdia follow an earlier one from TrendForce … None of the companies come up with the same estimate for global smartphone shipments during the quarter, but all suggest Apple fared better than most in terms of year-on-year decline....

It’s been almost 25 years since Friends aired its first episode, and Google has joined in the celebration. The beloved sitcom premiered on September 22, 1994 and ran for 10 seasons. It was a huge part of NBC’s “Must See TV” block on Thursday nights, which also included Seinfeld, ER, and Will & Grace. Friends centered on a group of six New Yorkers in their 20s and launched the careers of its cast, including Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, and Matthew Perry....

Nobody saw this coming, and Google made sure of it. The latest version of Android is not going to be called Key Lime Pie after all. In a surprise move Google just released news that the latest version is called KitKat. Not only is this a surprise because Google had codenamed Android 4.4 after the name of a pie, but it KitKat itself is a registered trademark owned by the Nestle corporation....

The final season of Game of Thrones is less than a week away, and fans are spending time frantically catching up with what’s going on in Westeros ahead of the final season. With almost a two-year gap between season seven and season eight, it’s understandable that some fans might not quite remember what is happening with all three hundred characters… which isn’t actually that much of an exaggeration! The final season is going to see all the major players return to our screens, as well as several new faces (yes, new characters are being introduced in the final season), but thankfully, at this point they are very clearly grouped into two sides: one headed up by Jon and Daenerys, and the other by Cersei and Jamie....

Netflix’s Grace and Frankie started off as a story about two women who were left by their husbands after they fell in love with each other. But after six seasons, times have changed. Grace and Frankie were once lonely and confused women but they’re now new business partners, best friends, and living life to the fullest. Viewers wondered what would happen to this fabulous duo when one of them wanted to move on in a serious romantic relationship and in the sixth season, we finally saw what that looked like....

Neville Longbottom is not without his share of fans. The blonde (in the book) boy whose own family thought he might be a squib turned out to be one of the bravest and most badass Gryffindors in all of Harry Potter lore. Neville was what they call a late-bloomer, which means he took some time to develop a reputation as an ineffectual nerd before finding his inner warrior and leading his classmates into battle....

“These storms cause the atmosphere to warm and atmospheric density at our low deployment altitudes to increase,” SpaceX explained in an update. “In fact, onboard GPS suggests the escalation speed and severity of the storm caused atmospheric drag to increase up to 50% higher than during previous launches.” In response to the storm, the Starlink team commanded the satellites into a safe mode to “take cover from the storm” so the satellites would “fly edge-on like a sheet of paper to minimise drag”, the company said....
