In part because of the massive pile of money Amazon shelled out to acquire the rights, the retail giant’s forthcoming Lord of the Rings series — which tells an all-new story that’s set within the universe of J. R. R. Tolkien’s fictional world — is one of the most highly anticipated streaming projects on the drawing board anywhere at the moment. It’s being filmed in New Zealand, the same place where director Peter Jackson shot his LOTR and Hobbit movies, which should contribute to the same evocative cinematography, and it’s set during the era Tolkien has described as the Second Age of Middle Earth.

We don’t know too much else about the series at this point, though some recent news about actor choices has trickled out. This week, we got yet another — Joseph Mawle, who played the youngest brother of Ned Stark on Game of Thrones, has also been tapped for a role, believed to be that of Oren, the main villain in the series. And we have yet another leak to enjoy.

Apple just launched its newest iPhone series and the iPhone 11 is already selling better than anticipated. But that doesn’t mean we have long to wait before details start leaking about Apple’s 2020 iPhones, which we’re calling iPhone 12 series for lack of a better name. Next year’s iPhone is supposed to deliver a few significant updates, including a brand new design as well as 5G connectivity. That’s something we’ve heard from several sources already, and it all makes sense. The iPhone 11 marks the third consecutive year when Apple used the same iPhone X design, which is not surprising, considering the iPhone 6 design survived for four years without any major changes. It also makes a lot of sense to see 5G iPhones in stores next fall, as 5G coverage expands around the world. But a new rumor might give us more details about the iPhone 12 phones, and Apple is supposedly testing several prototypes.

Despite the countless scientific and technological advancements over the course of human history, there are still a few big questions we’re no closer to answering now than we were in the stone age. One of the biggest — or perhaps the biggest — is whether or not we’re alone in the universe.

We know that space is filled with galaxies, and those galaxies are packed with stars, and those stars are orbited by a seemingly endless number of planets. We think that at least a chunk of those worlds are a lot like Earth, but whether any of them are home to intelligent life is anyone’s guess. In a new article on LiveScience, Nick Longrich, a senior lecturer at the University of Bath, suggests that the odds are slim.

The iPhone 11 series has been a success story for Apple so far, with launch demand being much better than many industry watchers expected. The iPhone 11’s slightly lower entry price compared to the iPhone XR must have helped boost demand, but the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have been the big success story of this iPhone generation so far.

We’ve seen several reports lauding Apple’s iPhone 11 sales performance, and the latest one comes from Korea, where Samsung Display has reportedly had to increase its OLED production iPhones. That’s proof that the more expensive Pro phones, which start at $999 or $1,099 depending on size, have been selling even better than Apple imagined.
