How To Reboot Star Wars

Now that both Batman and Star Trek have enjoyed cinematic reinventions, it’s only a matter of time before Hollywood reboots the franchise that rebooted entertainment itself.

Heraclitus said you can’t step into the same river twice, but that’s what Syfy, having adapted Riverworld into a standalone feature…

A Funeral For A Time Lord

We have to doff our hats, in sadness and respect, to Doctor Who fan Seb Neale for leaving this plane of existence in such style.

AT&T MMS Delay May Be Due To Opt-Out Codes, $70 Tethering Plan In Works

According to BGR, the reason AT&T isn’t going to be ready with MMS at launch is not because of any new pricing plan—it’s because of Opt-Out MMS codes. https://gizmodo.com/iphone-os-3-0-available-on-june-17th-5283055 Apparently, because people were using MMS with the iPhone 3.0 betas, AT&T put an opt-out on all iPhone accounts. So, theoretically, if AT&T manually (yes…manually) removes…
