The end has finally arrived for Showtime’s Emmy-winning drama Homeland, as the first trailer for season 8 paints a troubling picture for Claire Danes’ Carrie Mathison.

The season ended with Carrie at one of the lowest points she’s ever been, having spent seven months in a Russian prison with no access to the medication she relies on to manage her mental illness....

Fortune does a nice look back on how long Apple has waited from announcement (which seems to be October 4th at this point) and actual launch of the iPhones and iPads. Initial launch windows are huge because there weren’t really competitors in the space quite yet. Importantly, the general trend is towards a smaller window. Ten days out, October 14th, seems like a reasonable projection, doesn’t it? Ahead of the launch, Samsung wants iPhone 5 banished from Korea (9to5mac....

Holiday photo books have always been well-received gifts, whether it’s photos of the vacations and other fun experiences you’ve had with your significant other, or photos of your kids as a present for their grandparents. But they also take some time and effort to put together. I’ve created a number of photo books over the years, and I’ve noticed that people seem more appreciative of them now that most photos are only ever seen digitally....
Philips Hue is the gold standard of HomeKit bulbs, and I am delighted with the ones I own. They’re bright, rarely need to be rebooted to fix a disconnection, and offer many color combinations.

HomeKit Weekly is a series focused on smart home accessories, automation tips and tricks, and everything to do with Apple’s smart home framework....

Like most ‘attractive young people in New York’ sitcoms, How I Met Your Mother is all about the friendships. Yes, it’s about romance (and the never-ending search for it), but while boyfriends and girlfriends come and go, it’s the core group of friends that give the show its heart and soul. Except that, when you start to look at little closer at some of these ‘friendships’, they aren’t quite as heartwarming as that opening montage of bar photos would have us believe....

It can’t be easy to work behind the scenes of one of the longest-running sitcoms in modern television history, because one slip-up can lead up to the Internet talking and creating endless memes. The production designers and producers of The Big Bang Theory didn’t have a chance to take things for granted because from the first episode to the final episode, every detail had to be laid out meticulously. The show was taped in front of a live studio audience, so naturally, some aspects of filming were quite tricky, especially scenes which needed a lot of running room or were shot in new venues, like hospitals, or restaurants....
