TV/Movies / BREAKING NEWS: WINTER IS COMING AGAIN, GAME OF THRONES PREQUEL by xxolisexx(m): 10:34am On Sep 13, 2019
Another 'Game of Thrones' prequel could take wing at HBO

(CNN) — There could be more winter coming to HBO, with another "Game of Thrones" prequel potentially advancing to the pilot stage.
Author George R.R. Martin is working on a project set roughly 300 years before events depicted in the series, according to Deadline.
HBO declined comment on the report, which characterized the show as focusing on events that would eventually lead to the fall of House Targaryen, one of the major ruling families featured in Martin's books and the hugely popular series, which ended its run in May.
Martin is said to be deriving the program from his book "Fire & Blood," and developing the pilot with Ryan Condal, whose credits include co-creating the show "Colony" with "Lost" producer Carlton Cuse.
HBO has already produced another related pilot that takes place thousands of years before "Game of Thrones," starring Naomi Watts. The network has yet to take the next step of ordering a full series based on that concept.
Additional spinoffs of the series were placed in development when HBO learned that "Thrones" would be ending, as the cable network -- like CNN, a unit of WarnerMedia -- sought to retain a connection to its most popular franchise.
Martin has periodically kept fans abreast of possible additions to the "Game of Thrones" mythology via his blog.

Shoprite will be back soon, and stronger, take it or leav it, shoprite took shopping experience to a whole new level, they believe so much in nigerian products, most of the fruits yu see in shoprite are locally sourced, shoprite even goes a long way to bring in seeds of crops that are not grown in nigeria and share to farmers for them to grow in nigeria,

Business / Apple iPhone: INVENTOR OF iPHONE SET TO LEAVE APPLE by xxolisexx(m): 6:54am On Jun 29, 2019
Sir Jony Ive, the Briton who over two decades helped turn Apple into the world's most valuable company, is leaving to set up his own venture.

Sir Jonathan, designer of the iMac, iPod and iPhone, leaves later this year to start a creative firm, LoveFrom, with Apple as its first client.

"This just seems like a natural and gentle time to make this change," he said.

Apple boss Tim Cook said his "role in Apple's revival cannot be overstated".

But the departure comes at a time of wider change at the tech giant. Retail chief Angela Ahrendts left in April and investors have been worried about falling iPhone sales.Sir Jonathan said in a statement: "After nearly 30 years and countless projects, I am most proud of the lasting work we have done to create a design team, process and culture at Apple that is without peer."

Little is known about LoveFrom, but it will be based in California and there are reports one area of focus will be wearable technology. News of his departure broke in an exclusive interview in the Financial Times.

In the article, Sir Jonathan said Marc Newson, a friend and collaborator at Apple, would also join the new firm. There would also be "a collection of creatives" spanning several different disciplines beyond design, he said.
He became head of Apple's design studio in 1996, when the company was in poor financial health and cutting jobs. The turnaround began with Sir Jonathan's iMac in 1998, and the iPod in 2001.
Apple's founder, the late Steve Jobs, once said of Sir Jonathan: "If I had a spiritual partner at Apple, it's Jony."

One of Sir Jonathan's most recent projects was finishing Apple's new corporate headquarters, Apple Park, an ultra-modern complex designed in partnership with British architects Foster + Partners.
After the death of Steve Jobs, there was speculation that Jony Ive might one day move into the chief executive's office. That always seemed unlikely. Instead he remained the firm's design guru, the often parodied voice of those iconic Apple product videos, while Tim Cook drove the mighty profit machine ever onwards.

In recent years, it has been harder to detect the Ive magic - while the Airpods look set to become another classic, the $999 stand for a Mac Pro monitor stand seemed to symbolise a company taking its fans for granted.

But the man who started his career by designing toilets and toothbrushes and ended up giving us the most profitable product in history, the iPhone, is assured of his place in history.
