Apple Will Reportedly Reveal iPhone X Plus in September
Apple will reportedly reveal the iPhone X Plus this September, and it'll be the biggest iPhone ever.
Forbes reports the iPhone X Plus will sport a 6.2-inch edge-to-edge Retina display (OLED) instead of the rumored 6.5-inch screen with an LED display. The screen size will allegedly be similar to Samsung's S9+, but wider and shorter.
Apple is also set to make some minor changes to the iPhone X, including "adding new color options and integrating faster components."
Reports earlier this year suggested Apple is working three new iPhones for release later this year. The trio of smartphones reportedly include the large"phablet," which is most likely the iPhone X Plus, a new phone similar in size to the iPhone X, and a cheaper model with fewer features.

Oz is an actor, writer and director, but unlike many filmmakers who wear all those hats, he is also one of Hollywood’s most accomplished puppeteers. The director of comedy classics like Little Shop of Horrors, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and What About Bob? rose to acclaim playing iconic characters like Miss Piggy in The Muppet Show and Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back.
NASA Working to Stop an Asteroid From Hitting Earth in 2135
An asteroid the size of the Empire State building, named Bennu, is currently hurtling towards our planet, and while the chance of it actually colliding with us is slim, NASA is getting ready. Just in case.
The Washington Post reports odds of the asteroid hitting the planet in 2135 is 1 in 2,700. NASA is working on a contingency plan anyway, because they don't want to die at the hands of a catastrophic fireball of annihilation as much as the rest of us.
Serena Williams Has A Big Question About Avatar: The Last Airbender
Whenever Serena Williams is not too busy winning Grand Slam title after Grand Slam title, she's trying to figure out the lore behind Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Williams asked a lingering question about the series on Twitter, specifically about the origins of humans learning how to bend. "Avatar last air bender fans only: Question- If the original benders were the sky bisons, badger moles, and dragons; how does that tie in with Avatar Wan when the lion sea turtle gave all the people bending power?????" Williams tweeted.
Of course, as you'd expect Williams received plenty of replies with different answers. Most fans suggest animals learned how to bend from the elements, while the lion sea turtles gave humans the power to bend.

#WarGames Is Reborn as an Interactive Hacker Thriller
John Badham's original WarGames was released in theaters in 1983, and was one of the earliest films to wring drama from the then-nascent world of computer hackers. The main character, a laid back computer genius played by Matthew Broderick, idly broke into a U.S. defense computer thinking it was a game, and proceeded to activate an artificial intelligence that was casually hell-bent on inciting World War III. It was a novel concept at the time and WarGames remains a taut (if technologically dated) thriller. There was a straight-to-video sequel called WarGames: The Dead Code released in 2008, but little is said of it.
The video studio Eko, working with MGM and with famed game designer Sam Barlow (Her Story, two Silent Hill games), have now cannily brought WarGames to the 21st century in what might be the most appropriate medium: the interactive web series. Available on Steam, Vudu, iOS, and on the web, the new #WarGames not only updates the hacking tech but also allows a viewer to essentially edit the series as they go, selecting the camera angles and central characters they prefer, all in real time. #WarGames was my very first interactive series, so it was novel TV experience.
