Several former execs at Foxconn have been charged with taking bribes from companies supplying the company with iPhone components, reports the WSJ.

Foxconn said it would cooperate fully with the authorities, who say there is no suggestion of any involvement on the part of any of Foxconn’s clients....

Friends was a sitcom that took the 90’s by storm, and often contested as one of the very best right along with shows such as Seinfeld, Frasier, and Mad About You. But one of the main differences between Friends and all of those other shows was that while it was still a comedy, and a great one at that, none of the characters seemed as though they were really meant to be funny....

Friends could have had a very different main couple had the creators kept their initial plan of having Joey and Monica get together – and it would have been super weird.

Tormund Giantsbane was one of the best characters on Game of Thrones. As the de facto leader of the Free Folk, he was crass, caveman-like, and didn’t mince words. He wasn’t afraid to slice your head off but would also happily clink glasses and share some ale (or, in his case, spoiled milk). And behind his rough exterior was a logically-thinking leader with killer instincts. Despite his barbaric and often gross nature, there was something oddly charming about Tormund....

A wild fan theory has suggested that Arya Stark was actually dead in the last two seasons of Game of Thrones. The character, played by Maisie Williams for all eight seasons of the series, played a vital role in the show’s final season. Not only did she kill the Night King, but she was also present for the battle at King’s Landing and served as a street-level perspective for viewers. Here’s why Arya’s death theory has no legs to stand on....

Game of Thrones’ latest episode was - somewhat surprisingly - the best episode of the show in years. “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” doesn’t occupy a significant place in the Game of Thrones episode schedule. It’s not a premiere, it’s not a finale, it’s not the famed penultimate episode of the season. It’s not particularly oversized, nor does it feature paradigm-shifting events the likes of which we saw in “Baelor,” “The Rains of Castamere” and “The Winds of Winter....
