Phil Dunphy is by far one of the funniest characters on ABC’s Modern Family. For 11 seasons, we’ve seen him raise three kids, woo his wife Claire, and try to out-sell Gil Thorpe. He’s a passionate man with many hobbies and loves his extended family. One of the reasons why Phil is such a popular character on the hit show is because of his parenting. Between him and Claire, he is definitely the fun parent — the good cop....
Update: Molekule is refuting the claim made by one of its employees, saying HomeKit support is not in its immediate plans. HomeKit support for air purifiers has been somewhat of a sore thumb for many users, with Apple’s own HomeKit website proving as a source of unreliable information. Now, however, Molekule Air Purifier HomeKit support is seemingly on the horizon. Owners of the $799 Molekule Air Purifier have been longing for HomeKit support for sometime, but one user on Reddit suggests that the wait is nearly over....
TechCrunch is out with a story today with details on why some of the mapping features originally scheduled for iOS 8 didn’t make the cut at Apple’s WWDC keynote last week. The report quotes a few sources close to the mapping teams that say most of the improvements originally planned for iOS 8 weren’t finished on time due to talent departures and internal politics: We reported leading up to WWDC that the transit directions in iOS 8 might be pushed back to instead focus on other priorities....
Marvel Studios original plan for its shared universe culminated with a very different version of The Avengers. Now Avengers: Endgame brings the storylines of those original heroes to fitting conclusions, it’s easy to view the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe as a masterclass in planning. What it actually is, though, is testament to how often the best stories come from freewheeling. Indeed, while it may now feel like the MCU was always on a road that ended in Thanos, it really wasn’t always the plan....
There are growing rumors that Marvel Studios is preparing to launch the Ultimates. Marvel Studios announced their Phase 4 slate at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, with a range of films and Disney+ TV shows that left fans thrilled. But one thing was noticeably absent. The Avengers franchise has become a phenomenal success, with this year’s Avengers: Endgame becoming the highest-grossing movie of all time. But last year, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that Marvel Studios was working on a new franchise beyond the Avengers; it’s logical to assume that this is an Avengers-equivalent franchise, so fans have speculated that the MCU could be building towards superhero teams such as the Ultimates, the Champions, or even A-Force....
The partnership has broadened the existing relationship between Meta and AWS over the last five years. Meta uses AWS compute, storage, database and security services to complement its own on-premises infrastructure. However, when Meta (then Facebook) acquired Instagram in 2012, the social media giant moved Instagram from AWS to in-house infrastructure. Multiple tuck-in acquisitions by Meta have also leveraged AWS. At AWS’ re:Invent conference, Meta and AWS outlined the following:...

Basically the reason for the back-to-back release is because build 10159 is simply ready to go, and rather than wait, the company decided to go ahead and release it. According to Gabe Aul in his Blogging Windows post: “We could have held off on it and picked a later build to give you some time with 10158 but we thought that you’d want to see that one change… Let us know if we chose correctly, or if Fast suddenly got too fast with 2 builds in 2 days....
Previously Microsoft has been known to wait for a service pack release to unload patches as big as this one. With Windows 8, the company is doing things differently. Steven Sinofsky explains that “During the final months of Windows 8 we challenged ourselves to create the tools and processes to be able to deliver these “post-RTM” updates sooner than a service pack. By developing better test automation and test coverage tools we are happy to say that Windows 8 will be totally up to date for all customers starting at General Availability....
You’ve seen what is happening to Microsoft before. A company runs out of ideas so they end up cannibalizing their main source of income to try to squeeze more money out of their existing customers. AOL is a company well into this phase in its life cycle. A few years back, they made the business decision to make it much harder to get out of their ISP/Content plans. Why? Because that is all that they got....
Columbian beauty Gloria Pritchett is the epitome of making the best out of poor circumstances. Leaving her family behind, she ventured to America with her son Manny to make a better life for herself. Luckily, she met Jay at a diner and the rest is history. Marrying Jay meant Gloria became apart of the crazy Pritchett/Dunphy/Tucker family that makes up Modern Family. We’ve watched Gloria for 11 seasons and have seen her grow and mature even when there was no room to do so....
One of the most common misconceptions about antivirus software is thinking that anything will do. They download the first free program they can find, thinking it will work just as well as a paid product from a legitimate company. In reality, using free antivirus software could cost you dearly. When you’re protecting your computer, you get what you pay for. That’s why Kim recommends her sponsor, TotalAV, which has an industry-leading security suite that offers the best protection possible....

This article contains spoilers for X-Men #7. Marvel’s X-Men relaunch has forgotten who Nightcrawler really is. Introduced as part of the X-Men’s Second Genesis team back in 1975, Kurt Wagner has always been the spiritual center of Xavier’s Dream. Although, for all that’s the case, Kurt seems to have had something of a muted presence in the X-Men relaunch. He serves on the Quiet Council, but appears to be largely inactive, and hasn’t been seen participating in any field missions since House of X....
