"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" pit the legendary Dark Knight against the Man of Steel in March, and now we have another big superhero showdown in "Captain America: Civil War."

While the two films should be markedly different — Warner Bros.' film will use "BvS" to introduce members of its Avengers-like team to audiences — both show the government calling for superhero regulation against the Avengers and Superman, respectively.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones" season six.

"Game of Thrones" has more characters than the average viewer can keep track of, so the reappearance of Kevan Lannister in Sunday's episode may have caught a few fans off guard.

Cersei, Jaime, and zombie-Gregor visited the small council meeting, where Kevan Lannister was seated as Hand of the King. Maester Pycelle summoned him to come and serve on the Small Council when Cersei was imprisoned.

Kevan is Tywin Lannister's brother — Cersei and Jaime's uncle.

There's a term VCs use for their ideal investment candidate: "blue flame." It refers to young people, preferably in their 20s, with lots of energy and no kids.

A blue flame is a fire that is burning at its brightest. A blue flame founder is willing to do nothing but work, forgoing all else but the company.

On the flip side, it's also a secret way to describe someone they think is "too old" to get their investment, discovered AtScale CEO Dave Mariani.

Mariana is 51 today. Читать дальше...

The ongoing battle between HBO and a man often referred to as the "Spanish Spoiler" may be coming to a close. 

On May 7, Tech Insider reported that a YouTube channel called FrikiDoctor had been uploading videos describing the exact plot details of "Game of Thrones" episodes days before HBO aired the show. 

HBO filed claims against the videos using YouTube's DMCA system, much to the frustration of fans who believed they had a right to the information FrikiDoctor was providing. Читать дальше...

The US is one of the worst countries for parental leave — and it's especially bad for new dads.

Simon Isaacs, cofounder of Fatherly, an online parenting resource for men, says very few US employers provide paid paternity leave today.

"This means a lot of new dads are not able to take time to bond with their babies and be at home with their families," he told Business Insider.

The good news is that the conversation around paternity leave is louder than ever, he said. Читать дальше...

Stephen Curry on Tuesday won his second consecutive MVP award, becoming the first player in league history to win the award unanimously.

The award is the latest in a string of unimaginably impressive feats for Curry, who returned from injury on Monday night and scored 40 points in Game 4 against the Blazers to swiftly remind the basketball world why he is the best player alive.

But the award is also the latest in a string of unimaginably impressive feats for Under Armour... Читать дальше...

5 p.m. rolls around, but it’s not quitting time. You’ll be lucky if you get out by 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m. at the earliest.

When 8 p.m. rolls around, you slam your head against the keyboard because you’re still not done.

Sound familiar?

It’s no shocker that Americans are overworked. 53% claim to be overworked and approaching the burnt-out phase (if they’re not already there).

But what if you could do more work in less time, leaving more time for family, hobbies, and sleep? Читать дальше...

Way back in 1987, a few years after Steve Jobs was removed from Apple by its board of directors, Apple spun off a software subsidiary called Claris. 

Claris itself is technically no more — in 1998, the company changed its name to FileMaker, after its most successful product, not long after Steve Jobs' triumphant return to Apple as CEO.

But it's still proudly billed as an Apple subsidiary. This whole time, FileMaker has been plugging away in its Santa Clara headquarters... Читать дальше...

It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who uses iPhone and iPad apps that big companies dominate Apple's App Store.

But new research from Sensor Tower shows just how skewed the market is to the big players.

According to Sensor Tower's first-quarter estimates, the top 1% of publishers that produce paid apps (or apps with in-app purchases) collect 94% of revenue from the platform. 

That works out to 623 top publishers collecting $1.34 billion of... Читать дальше...

Ingredient substitution is common in the food industry.

A recent study highlighted examples such as a "black bean burger" that didn't contain any black beans. Similarly, most "100%" Parmesan cheeses on the market contain at least some amount of anti-clumping additive made of wood pulp.

Most of the time, these incidents are simply an example of cost cutting that is undetectable to customers (and usually physically harmless).

But not always. A court... Читать дальше...
