Apple’s own operations have been 100% carbon neutral for more than two years, and received a UN award for this, but the company has today made a bold commitment for the same to be true of its entire supply-chain by 2030. The company is promoting this on its homepage, calling it ‘a planet-size plan.’ Apple started working on greening its supply-chain back in 2015, and VP Lisa Jackson provided an update last year....

Mad Men is a classic television series created by Matthew Weiner which will most certainly go down in history as one of the most well-written shows of all time. The series highlights the daily struggles brought on by “the decade of discontent.” “Discontent” is the perfect word to describe how these characters feel. Almost no one in the series is satisfied with the current position in life they hold. Despite how powerful the people of Sterling Cooper Ad Agency are, each employee strives for more....
It’s been 15 years since Adam McKay and Will Ferrell graced the world with Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, a comedy movie that pushed the boat so far out with its sharp focus on decidedly absurdist humor that it harked back to such classics as Airplane! and Blazing Saddles. Then, almost a decade later, they graced the world with a sequel. Comedy sequels very rarely live up to the expectations set by the original, but Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues managed to please both diehard fans and more casual moviegoers....
When people think of horror movies there are a few faces that come to mind. Some people may think of a hockey mask, others may think of an expressionless Halloween mask, but some people think of a horribly burned man with knives for fingers. Freddy Krueger was first introduced in 1984 for Wes Craven’s original A Nightmare on Elm Street. Robert Englund played the character behind the makeup for a total of eight movies, before the character was rebooted in 2010 with Jackie Earle Haley....
2015’s Inside Out is now considered by many to be one of the best Pixar films ever. Although it was a kids’ film, there was quite an emotional depth to Inside Out that took it leaps and bounds beyond most animated movies. Any parent that decided to take their kids to the theatres was likely surprised by the complex storytelling they found in this Pixar film. The story of Inside Out dove deep into the complex emotional state of a young girl named Riley who had recently moved to a new town....
Since it first began airing on FOX in 2013, to when it was unjustly cancelled and rescued up by NBC less than seventy-two hours later, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been an iconic series. Soon concluding its sixth season, it has been renewed for a seventh on NBC. This hilarious procedural sitcom has certainly made its mark on the world of TV, becoming very popular in recent years. It’s one of the most progressive shows on television, all the while being one of the funniest....
Like all great fantasy stories, J.R.R. Tolkien created a comprehensive world for his masterpiece The Lord Of The Rings. Within this main story-world are an assortment of cultures, myths, and adventures that fill in the gaps and thematically enhance the plotline, most of which only dedicated fans even know about. Tolkien even left notes that were compiled and edited by his son, Christopher Tolkien, and subsequently made into books such as The Silmarillion and The Fall Of Gondolin....
The world of animation is mainly directed towards a younger audience, which inevitably sticks with kids throughout teenagehood, and later, adulthood. There’s a reason ’90s kids today still reminisce about watching The Rugrats or popping in Disney’s The Lion King. The older we get and the more we think back to our favorite animated films and shows, we start to wonder who the voices were behind the character. After all, some of the stars became even more famous over times while others kind of dwindled away....
The third season of our favorite Netflix teen drama 13 Reasons Why premiered this year. While we definitely all have our favorite and least favorite characters by now, we know there’s still some debate and controversy about who really is the best character to watch on our television screens. Justin Foley and Alex Standall have been at odds since the beginning of the series, and yes, a lot of this has to do with their mutual pining over Jessica Davis....
The movie industry is more competitive than ever. Summer used to be the designated season for the Hollywood’s biggest releases, but now big-budget films drop year-round and partake in vicious competition at the box office. The world’s largest studios all place their bets on a handful of big projects, whether it be a classic franchise, an iconic superhero, or a new property that has the potential to be the next big thing....
To say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a behemoth is an understatement, amazingly enough. It’s the highest grossing film franchise of all time. At the time of this writing, 20 movies have been released so far and another three are on the way in 2019: Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: Far From Home. One of the keys to the series’ box office dominance is that the MCU has managed to introduce a deep roster of characters who mean the world to its massive fan base....
But, if there’s one feature that’s here to stay, it’s Instagram Stories. Even as Reels continues to dominate our feeds, there’s absolutely still a place for this ephemeral content type. As of 2021, 500 million people use Instagram Stories daily — making it the perfect place to share casual, behind-the-scenes content that engages your audience. The only downside to the popularity of Stories? It can be hard to know how to stand out....
Jim Carrey was one of the funniest actors of the ’90s and early ’00s. First gaining attention as a cast member on the sketch comedy series In Living Color, which aired from 1990 to 1994, he then went on to star in a long string of comedy films, many of which ranged from totally silly to downright ridiculous. Sure, Carrey has shown that he is a pretty versatile actor with more dramatic roles like in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, as the Riddler in 1995’s Batman Forever, and currently as lead character Jeff Pickles in Showtime comedy-drama Kidding....
Quentin Tarantino is one of the most popular filmmakers working today, and he has one of the most unique creative voices, too. His movies are known for their non-linear narratives, graphic violence, profanity-laden monologues, pop soundtracks, and homages to the traditions of earlier genres. This combination of elements has struck a chord with moviegoers across the world, to the point that he can make a darkly comic spaghetti western about American slavery and audiences will lap it up....
The Scooby-Doo franchise has been loved by every generation in a different form for over fifty years. There are endless TV series (from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, to What’s New Scooby-Doo?, to Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated), a long string of animated films, and even two blockbuster live-action remakes. Sure, Scooby-Doo himself is a talking dog, but we’ll let that slide for now. Other than this overarching problem, there are a fair amount of plot holes that make the franchise pretty difficult to follow at times....
Ridley Scott announced recently that despite Alien: Covenant underperforming at the box office and Fox selling most of its cinematic assets to Disney, he is still working on another Alien sequel to complete the prequel trilogy that he began with Prometheus and Covenant. There is also a rumor that Scott will follow up this trilogy with another sequel that will tie the prequels and the original series together, but let’s just take it one movie at a time....
As we saw in an earlier article, supply chains can be an entry point for malicious actions that result in security incidents. A third-party vendor presents a number of areas that can impinge upon your own security strategy and VRM program. The key is to use a forensic approach to identifying, auditing and reducing the risks that working with a third-party vendor may present — this means keeping the chain clean....
The Harry Potter franchise is undoubtedly the reigning champ of magical mayhem. From Wingardium Leviosa to Expecto Patronum, the spells are world-famous, and we can all recite them by heart. However, if you’re looking for a little enchantment in-between the new Fantastic Beasts installments, Netflix’s The Order might just fit the bill. The show features a magical cult instead of a magical school, but it has plenty of hexes that would make even Voldemort jealous....
