The Vampire Diaries and Buffy The Vampire Slayer may have aired during different time periods, but they have many things in common. The former is a fun teen drama about a teenage girl and two vampire brothers, and the latter is a ’90s classic about an adolescent girl who protects her town from vampires (while, okay, falling in love with two vampires along the way). While these two shows are both about teens and, of course, vampires and other creatures, they have unique approaches, character development, and storylines....

Universal Studios became the first major studio to accept the Challenge officially....

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DhJZAhjbcI] I’d find this video hard to believe were it not for its credentials. The WSJ reports that StoreDot, the start-up behind the technology, has its background in the Nanotechnology department of Tel Aviv University, and it’s been demonstrated at Microsoft’s Think Next conference. Ultra-fast battery charging has been seen before, but using special (and not very portable) battery technology. This system charges batteries compact enough for smartphones. It’s demonstrated here with a Samsung Galaxy S3, but the company says that it plans to make versions for other phones, which will could certainly include the iPhone … StoreDot claims the commercial version of the charger will only cost around twice as much as today’s chargers....

“Development hell” is a film industry term referring to a place where movies can get stuck mid-development if they lose their director or struggle to find a cast or can’t find the necessary funding. Movies occasionally escape from development hell, but a long labored development process doesn’t always result in a good movie. In fact, a lot of the time, the final result will have passed through so many hands – script rewrites, tonal changes, actors signing on and off – that it’s a bastardization of the original vision....

There are many things in this movie that are kind of messed up and haven’t aged well at all, but there are also things about it that are timeless that make people keep watching....

Who benefits it? ​Everyone on Linux and to the most who is curious what Linux has to offer. Let’s begin our lesson with the program called the terminal emulator. 1. Command Line Interface ​Did you know that most of the GUI programs actually execute the CLI commands behind the scene? For instance, the file manager you’ve been using to perform an operation (move, rename, delete, etc) on a file or group of files by right-clicking and then selecting the required option (let’s say) rename but the actual command executed is – mv old-file new-file ​So next time you wish to show off your mastery skill to your peers without the file manager program, it’s time to launch the terminal program and get accustomed to the basic commands....

5G conspiracy theorists have been around as long as the technology, but it’s only recently that they’ve decided to up their game by setting fire to 5G masts. Their, uh, reason?
