But which supporting character do you think has been the worst?...

One of the biggest complaints regarding the 12-inch MacBook has been the ports, or lack thereof, that the device offers. The MacBook features just as single USB-C port that you use for everything, including charging. This means that the MagSafe technology that Apple introduced 10 years ago and that we’ve all come to love is nowhere to be found. A new accessory introduced by Griffin today, however, aims to fix that problem....

By default, wp-config.php sits in the same folder as your WordPress blog. So, if the homepage of your blog is at mysite.com/blog, so is your wp-config.php. That’s not as reckless as it seems since .php files are server-side scripts that are processed by the server. When you are looking at a .php file, you are actually looking at the output of the file. The same goes for when you view the source....

In Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore, leader of the light, defeater of dark wizards, was a legend in the making. Armed with his own Chocolate Frog Card, an enthusiastic following, and the respect and fear of nearly everyone, no one in their right mind would fight Dumbledore one-on-one.

He is a character that doesn’t have a lot of tact and because of this, he can be quite shameless at times. There are many instances where he is selfish and doesn’t think about the way he’s treating other people....

Snapchat is insanely popular with the younger demographic, and it flourishes in areas like schools, where there is a community of individuals using the app who see each other face to face. One of Snapchat’s greatest weaknesses, though, is that it lacks good discovery tools built inside the app. It’s why I believe that its growth, although impressive, has been bridled in some instances. It’s why an app like GhostCodes can provide a valuable bridge to user discovery on the platform....

Poor Lindsay Lister got a lot of hate during her time on Gilmore Girls, but was it justified? Played by Arielle Kebbel of Midnight, Texas fame, Lindsay was introduced in the third season of Gilmore Girls as the new girlfriend of Rory’s (Alexis Bledel) ex-boyfriend and first love Dean Forester (Jared Padalecki). Lindsay was described by Rory as “cute and smart and really nice” and she even had a sweet anecdote about a fourth-grade field trip to Mark Twain’s house, during which Lindsay bought Rory a Mark Twain magnet because she had no money and wouldn’t let Rory pay her back....
