Anthony Ramos, star of Lin-Manuel Miranda’ movie adaptation of Miranda’s musical In the Heights, has been cast in a very important, yet very secret role in the Ironheart TV series. What’s more interesting is that whoever he’s playing, he’s supposed to have a very important role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe going…

In fact, it’s been so long that you’d be forgiven for forgetting the series even exists. Still, 15 years after the last “Mario Strikers” game, Nintendo is revisiting the series with a new game titled “Mario Strikers: Battle League,” and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch later … Continue reading
Approximately 95 percent of the nerd news sites you may frequent will begin their articles announcing the return of Futurama with “Good news, everybody!” based on Professor Farnsworth’s iconic catchphrase on the show. So I hope you all with appreciate my restraint when I merely tell you that yes, Futurama has emerged…
New research in animals seems to confirm the frightening resilience of the Ebola virus. The study found that the virus could routinely persist in the brains of monkeys following treatment with monoclonal antibodies, even sometimes resurfacing weeks later to cause acute illness and death. The findings, the authors say,…
The Book of Boba Fett has come to a close. Well, chapter one at least. Today brought the seventh and final episode of The Book of Boba Fett season one, meaning there’ll be no new Star Wars content on TV for at least a few months. The show also left behind lots of burning questions—though most of those don’t have much to do with the…
Alongside the new Galaxy S22 phones, Samsung introduced three new Tab S8 tablets this morning. Named Galaxy Tab S8 (11-inch, $699.99), Tab S8 Plus (12.4-inch, $899.99), and Tab S8 Ultra (14.6, $1099.99), the tablets differ in size and specifications.
However, navigating this offering will be easy since the naming follows a similar logic to the Galaxy S smartphones, where Samsung has invested a lot in communications (excellent branding leverage).
Each size lends itself to a slightly different usage model that drives the tablet market, going from media consumption and basic app usage (11”) to light computing tasks (12.4”) to laptop replacement (14.6”).
Most Android tablets are geared towards media pure consumption, and Samsung probably has the best productivity and professional offering, especially since Huawei no longer ships with Android, despite building remarkable hardware.
I have more affinity with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra because of its large screen and the possibility to replace a laptop if you’re using the right app combo (web, MS office, sales usage) and perhaps mobile video editing.
Such tablets are more agreeable to use if you need to present visual content. Also, the battery life is usually longer, and they are slightly lighter than most laptops with the same screen size.
The S-Pen digitizer might also be a very compelling reason to have a large tablet. Regardless of what you’re doing with it, a greater surface area makes the pen easier and more natural to use.
Samsung is also using the most powerful mobile processor available now, the Snapdragon 8 Gen1, and that’s a great choice. For years, I have been frustrated to see Android tablets behind 1-2 years behind phones in computing power. Hopefully, that’s definitely in the past.
This chip also means that users will get the best connectivity on the market right now, including Wi-Fi 6E.
Compared to laptops, Samsung’s tablets offer great potential for their camera systems, with front and rear cameras potentially much better than your average laptop.
These tablets might offer superior video-conferencing capabilities with all remote work and education needs. The potential for young students is undeniable, depending on apps or school eco-system.
The Tab S8 Ultra has a better selfie dual-camera system that lends itself to group calls thanks to its ultrawide camera.
Size aside, the tablets are technically very similar, and you can find differences in maximum storage (microSD available), fingerprint reader placement, and battery capacity.
Finally, I highly recommend getting an optional cover keyboard as it is much more productive for any text input. If you’re going to budget one of these tablets, that should be part of the must-have accessories.
These tablets look very promising, with the Tab S8 having the most competition, but as you go into the high-end, there isn’t a lot of Android-based competition for Samsung.

Disney’s Hulu is bringing Futurama back. According to Variety, the streamer has ordered 20 new episodes of the animated series. Series creator Matt Groening will return to lead the project alongside writer and producer David X. Cohen. The entire voice cast outside of one critical player has agreed to reprise their roles. John DiMaggio hasn’t signed on to voice Bender again. The good news on that front is that Hulu is reportedly finalizing his deal, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
As you might imagine, Futurama’s creators are excited to return to the series. “It’s a true honor to announce the triumphant return of Futurama one more time before we get canceled abruptly again,” Groening said.
For those counting, this latest revival will mark the fourth time the series has come back after supposedly ending. After it was canceled in 2003 following an initial four-season run on Fox, Comedy Central ordered four direct-to-DVD Futurama films. In 2008, the network re-edited those movies into what’s now considered the show’s fifth season. It then went on to fund two additional seasons that aired between 2010 and 2013. The fact it will continue on Hulu is fitting given that you’ve been able to watch all 140 episodes and four films of Futurama on the platform since 2017.
Production on the new episodes is expected to start this month. They’re currently scheduled to debut sometime in 2023.
