Twin Peaks Return Teaser

Showtime's upcoming Twin Peaks revival has debuted its first teaser.

One would expect the mysterious series, once more guided by David Lynch and Mark Frost, to not spoil too much in its first reveal, and that's precisely the case here. What we get is some behind-the-scenes footage of actor Michael Horse ("Hawk") discussing returning to the series over imagery of the familiar Twin Peaks scenery... and a closing shot that, if part of the actual show, hints that things are still quite dangerous in the not so sleepy town, via a blurry look at a grey-haired figure. Could that simply by David Lynch behind-the-scenes, Lynch in-character as Gordon Cole, Ray Wise somehow back as Leland Palmer or someone else entirely?

The Man in the High Castle Renewed for Season 2

Amazon has given its dark, trippy Ridley Scott/Frank Spotnitz series, The Man in the High Castle, a second season.

Based on the award-winning Philip K. Dick novel, the series - starring Alexa Davalos, Rupert Evans, and Rufus Sewell - launched back on November 20th with ten Season 1 episodes.

Set in an alternate world in which the United States was on the losing end of World War II and is now controlled by Germany and Japan, with a “buffer zone” in the Rocky Mountains between the areas the two powers oversee, The Man in the High Castle offered up a nightmarish and compelling "What If?" look at history.

A premiere date for Season 2 hasn’t been set.

LG Made a True Power User’s Phone and No One Cared

The year is winding down and everyone’s taking a look back at the best tech of the year, myself included. After choosing my Best Smartphones of 2015 nominees, I was surprised to see the LG V10 left off so many top lists.

LG V10 camera

Taking a look at the numbers, the LG G4 and V10 haven’t been doing so well. The G4 sold 240,000 phones in two months in Korea, while its competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge sold 1.3 million in the same amount of time. The V10 is struggling in the US because of its high pricing, prompting LG to slash its price from $700 to $600 on T-Mobile. The company is also offering a free spare battery, charging cradle, and 64GB microSD card when you buy the V10 during the holidays.
