Frankie Bergstein is the hippy-dippy burst of energy that makes Netflix’s Grace and Frankie the success that it is. As the former wife of Sol and best friend to Grace, Frankie is surrounded by people who love and adore her. Even her ex-husband couldn’t escape her charms and called her his soulmate, even though he’s in a new marriage. Frankie has this whimsical way about her that sucks the most none-suspecting of people into her arms, making them never want to leave....

In 2017, a duo of security specialists: Braden Thomas, former Apple security engineer, and Justin Fisher, senior research scientist at Endgame, formed a highly secretive company known as Grayshift. They began selling a box which promised to unlock any password-protected iPhone. At a cool $15,000 to $30,000 a pop, GrayKey boxes were generally exclusively marketed and sold to law enforcement agencies and police departments. These boxes assisted in gathering evidence previously left inaccessible behind the security pillars of Touch ID, Face ID and users’ passcodes....

Grey’s Anatomy is truly great. Aside from being able to convince pretty much every fan that they are now doctors after binge-watching the show, it also blessed us with a plethora of great characters, strong plot lines, and laugh-out-loud moments that are hard to forget. The show is also incredibly tragic, and we dare you to find a single fan out there who hasn’t shed a ton of tears over the course of the last few years....

Gwyneth Paltrow seems to have revealed Pepper Potts is indeed pregnant with Tony Stark’s child in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4. The relationship between the two characters has been one of the longest-running threads in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, dating back to their initial appearances in the original Iron Man 10 years ago. While Tony and Pepper apparently hit a rough patch over the past decade (as evidenced in Captain America: Civil War), they’re in a much better place now....

HTB is an excellent platform that hosts machines belonging to multiple OSes. It also has some other challenges as well. Individuals have to solve the puzzle (simple enumeration plus pentest) in order to log into the platform and download the VPN pack to connect to the machines hosted on the HTB platform. Note: Only write-ups of retired HTB machines are allowed. The machine in this article, named Poison, is retired....

Google has updated its Google Wallet application for the iPhone with a few notable enhancements. First, like it has added to its other apps on iOS as of late, Google now allows single sign-on for Wallet. This means that if you are signed in via Google to YouTube, Gmail, Adsense, or other compatible Google apps, you can be automatically logged in to the Wallet app. More interestingly, you can now use your iPhone’s camera to capture the data from your debit card or credit card to connect it to the app....

Gossip Girl was a teen drama television series that focused on an attractive and affluent group on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. One of these characters was named Blair Waldorf, and she was the Queen B of this main group (or she at least liked to think so). From her signature headbands and preppy looks to her designer gowns and overall princess vibe, Blair certainly had many stylish outfits that stood out within this TV show—and, all these years later, most still do....

In an earlier groovyPost, I touched on the basics of Layers in Adobe Photoshop however there is so much more to talk about I figured I would do a follow-up post reviewing some of the more advanced features. Understanding how Layers work and being able to manipulate them is a key foundation in using Photoshop so if you have any questions or comments, please drop them below in the comments....

An engineering student who made 3,000 fraudulent iPhone warranty claims has entered a guilty plea in a US federal court. Quan Jiang sent Apple non-functioning counterfeit iPhones and received genuine ones in return … Although Apple rejected just over half of the claims, it sent replacement phones in 1,493 cases, costing the company close to a million dollars. Bloomberg reports the guilty plea. Apple said that counterfeit devices would normally be detected when powering on the devices, but the key here was that they were non-functional....

Introduction It took a health insurance company almost a year to notify some 1.1 million of its members that their personal data had been swiped by hackers. In another incident, more than 80 million health data was stolen from Anthem breach because of a network server hack. In 15 months from January 2014 into March 2015, the healthcare industry had 15 separate major breaches of protected health information that affected well over 100,000 individuals....

Halloween was released in 1978, and horror movies have never been the same since. Made on a tiny budget, John Carpenter’s classic not only helped usher in the age of teen slashers, but created one of cinema’s great bogeymen - Michael Myers. An unstoppable, incomprehensible force of evil hiding underneath a pale mask, Myers lacks the charisma of Dracula, the pathos of Frankenstein’s monster or Freddy Kruger’s one-liners. He truly is, as the first movie credits him, “a Shape”: a cipher whose lack of personality makes him all the more terrifying as he stalks and slaughters teenagers around the sleepy town of Haddonfield, Illinois....

The Halloween 4-6 trilogy starring Jamie Lloyd is an underrated movie run. Jamie’s introduction in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers expanded on the saga of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode by extending on their already tumultuous family tree. Her story, which saw Michael Myers target his young niece instead of his sister, brought a new level of brutality to the already arduous killer because, comparatively, many horror films set a precedent of shying away from the taboo of killing children onscreen....

John Carpenter’s Halloween is one of the most influential and beloved horror films of all-time. The movie has inspired countless slasher films that followed as well as several sequels, reboots and remakes. The success of these films varied, none living up to the original. However, in 2018 a new Halloween was released and infused the franchise with some new life. The new film is a direct sequel to the original, finding Laurie Strode and Michael Myers coming face-to-face again 40 years later....

The investment will comprise $700 million to acquire a 1.28% stake in Airtel and up to $300 million towards potential multi-year commercial agreements to bolster the telco’s digital offerings. One of the first commercial agreements, according to the telco, will see the pair work together to build on Airtel’s range of Android-enabled consumer devices, and remove barriers of owning a smartphone by working with various device manufacturers. Both companies will also explore the possibility of co-creating India-specific network domain use cases for 5G and other standards....

Alexander Siddig (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Game Of Thrones) played Ra’s Al Ghul on season’s three and four of Gotham, making him the first actor of Arabic origin to play the character. His version was the third live-action incarnation to hit screens in the last two decades, after Liam Neeson played him in The Dark Knight Trilogy and Matt Nable played him in Arrow. As with most comic book to screen translations, there were many things kept the same as the source material, but many more that were changed to fit the nature of the show better....

For most fans of DC Comics, or comic book movies in general, it doesn’t get much better than Batman. He’s a hero as iconic, unsettling, and inherently tortured as the city he calls home - but Gotham City has a brand new vigilante to go along with the likes of Batwoman, Nightwing, and Batgirl. We should warn you, though: a hero the likes of Mother Panic is most certainly not for the faint of heart… or any but mature readers....

Gotham is tipping its cap to fellow DC television series Arrow after the latter made a sly reference to a certain DC icon in a clip from the upcoming episode “Tribute.” In the newest season of Arrow, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) finds himself - once again - accused of being the vigilante archer, Green Arrow. In the second episode of Arrow season 6, Oliver, now the mayor of Star City, denies the accusation in a press conference....

GTA 5 is currently one of the most popular online games. This is pretty surprising considering the fact that the game was launched back in September 2013. So this makes GTA 5 around 7 years old and gamers are beginning to ask one question — When will GTA 6 release? Well, it seems that the successor to one of the most popular titles from Rockstar Games is apparently closer to release than expected....
