Its time you start obsessing over Halt and Catch Fire.




When AMC renewed its highly-rated rarely-watched, 80s’ period drama Halt and Catch Fire for a second season it came out as a surprise to everyone. However did you know that particular decision by AMC is in itself a reason why you should start watching the show?

AMC doesn’t quit. 

The cancellation of Bryan Fuller’s critics’ favorite Hannibal during its third season was expected by even some cult fans of the show because despite its masterfully scripted pieces the show failed to garner enough viewers. However AMC has the history of investing time in its adventures. The Lee Pace starrer ‘Halt’ is running the same road as Mad Men and Breaking Bad. There is no doubt that the show has long way to go before it can be compared to the likes of Mad Men and Breaking Bad but the good news here is that AMC is giving it enough to time to cover that distance.
So if you have been a big fan of Don Drapper than its time you tie yourself with the story of Joe McMillan.

It is wonderfully coded.
Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers have created an intricate yet comprehensible depiction of characters from the tech valley of 80s’ Dallas. The good thing about the show is the understanding between the script and the charters. The first season started with Joe McMillan tied with the corporate ventures of IBM and Cardiff while Cameroon (Mackenzie Davis) as a young code junkie in search of (to be honest) something. However. This year we have Cameroon struggling with her new startup Mutiny and Joe in search of, well, ‘something’.
‘Halt’ has over the course of 16 episodes developed itself into a kind of period drama that you have been trying hard to ignore but it is almost that time when you will not be able to do that anymore.

Sony announces the Xperia Z5, Z5 compact and Z5 premium

Today Sony officially showcased the Xperia Z5 series of its flagship phones, while Sony hasn't been having a lot success in the smartphone market. Recently it hasn't been as much successful as it once used to be in mobile phone sales, its sales have fallen in the international market which is primarily due to the highly saturated market for premium smartphones as even Samsung and Apple are having a hard time now. Sony today presented the world with what it believes a smartphone of 2015 and 2016 should be like and that is the Xperia Z5 which comes in three different variations the largest being the Xperia Z5 premium followed by the regular Xperia Z5 and lastly the smallest Xperia Z5 compact.

Last year Sony released the C5 Ultra a near bezel less phone with a premium design but was ultimately a mid ranger, this year we are here again reporting about the C6, another bezel less phone with a premium design. Image Source   The phone most likely will boast a 5.5 full HD screen, an Octa core Helio P10, 16 Gb internal storage, 3 or 2 Gb Ram and will of course support 4g LTE. The leaked pictures show a bezel less design which resembles the Z3 though it's not aluminium like the later. Image Source What do you think about the phone and it's design? And how it will fare against the other mid rangers.
