Hear Jordan Peele (!) step into Rod Serling's shoes in 'The Twilight Zone' reboot teaser
September 20, 2018There are few opening lines more iconic in science fiction than “there is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man,” the words spoken by original The Twilight Zone host Rod Serling at the start of every episode of the iconic show.

Check out the teaser to hear the Get Out director’s take on Serling’s inimitable monologue and get hype for the new series arriving in 2019. Read more…

Get an Asus Zen all-in-one desktop computer for $999.99, its lowest price yet on Amazon
September 20, 2018As popular as laptops are, it’s hard to replace the power (and screen size) of a quality desktop. And thanks to the growing popularity of all-in-ones, desktops don’t take up anywhere near as much room as they used to. The downside is that most all-in-ones can run a little more on the pricier side. Thankfully, if you’re in the market for a new desktop computer, Amazon has a deal that’s almost too good to pass up.
The Asus 23.8-inch Zen AIO Pro Z240IEGT-16 All-in-One Desktop is available at Amazon for just $999.99. This is $400 off the listed price of $1399.99 and the lowest the desktop has been available on Amazon to date. Read more…

Gmail smart replies may be creepy, but they're catching on like wildfire
September 20, 2018This summer, Gmail’s billion-plus users received a new chill-but-efficient way to answer emails: Smart Reply.
Smart Reply is Gmail’s suggested response feature. At the bottom of received emails, Gmail serves three short phrases that its AI has determined are appropriate and relevant responses. Popular responses are phrases like “Awesome,” or “Sounds good, let me know.”
The feature was initially available just in the Inbox app, but rolled out in the new version of Gmail to all users in July.
As the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, the responses sometimes sound anachronistic, curt, or out of character for the writers. Personally, I can’t decide whether Google frequently suggesting phrases that I myself was about to write is helpful or irksome. I have also wondered whether saving a few seconds of not having to type “ok, sounds good” is worth letting a robot mediate my interactions with other humans. Or if the impulse to hit a button instead of form a thought could in some way stymie my own expression, even in rote communications. Read more…

An investigation: Does Harry Styles really dress like Gonzo from 'The Muppet Show'?
September 20, 2018Harry Styles is nothing if not an excellent dresser. He is the prince of prints, a trailblazer in the world of floral printed mens wear.
But has the singer actually been getting his style inspo from The Muppet Show all along?
Fans on Twitter seem to think that there are remarkable similarities between Harry Styles’ style and that of the muppet Gonzo the Great.
Gonzo, whose trademark is a great enthusiasm for performing, does serve some pretty flashy lewks. Much like Styles, who is 24 years his junior, Gonzo favours suit and shirt combos in bold prints and colours. Read more…

September 20, 2018Google’s upcoming Pixel 3 phone has just popped up on an online store.
