Huawei revealed its new phones – Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro in
Munich. Huawei will try to make an operation system without using any of Google’s
Android OS and Android apps.
The new phone will have 4 camera lens but won’t support
Android. The phones are based on Android open source so it will function like Android.
But few key apps will be missing –
Google Maps
Google Chrome
Google Play Store
In response Huawei will have –
Huawei Browser
Huawei AppGallery – over 40k apps (while google play store
has more that 2.5 million apps).
This happens when back in May, President Trump banned Huawei
due to security issues with its products.

On October 2nd the giant tech company, Microsoft,
will hold a big event that will be streamed live, which is already unusual for
Microsoft.
Sources and rumors tell that it might be one of the most
important events the company had in years.
We hope Microsoft
will share more than just the new Surface computers.
We will probably see new models for the successful surface
computers such as Surface Pro 7, Surface Book 3 and Surface Laptop 3.
Microsoft might share new details about the “Project
Centaurus” – small folding laptop based on a new operation system called
Windows Core OS.
There is a possibility than Microsoft will also share
details about a secret project called ‘Andromeda’ – cell phone \ tiny computer based
on Core OS.
This operation system is source for all the rumors due to
the fact that it intended for devices that needs light OS, good battery usage
and that can keep active and connected to the internet all day long, even if
the device is not in use.
According to sources, Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO will
attend the event – very promising.
About 15 years ago tech companies took pride in making small
cell phones, but now it seems like we prefer tablet size phones.
Samsung tried to get the best of both worlds, making a phone
with relatively big screen but with folding function so it will fit in your pocket
– Samsung Galaxy Fold.
Galaxy Fold comes with 7.3-inch screen that will allow you
to run 3 apps at the same time with a unique feature of split screen.
It has 6 cameras – 1 in the front, 2 on the sides and 3 in
the back. It has one of the largest batteries for a smart phone – 4,380mAh.
We are still not sure about the price but it should be
pretty expensive – about $2,000.
The president and CEO of Samsung Electronics, DJ Koh said –
“The category-defining Galaxy Fold is a device that
defies the barriers of traditional smartphone design. We’re excited to release
this pioneering mobile technology, and allow consumers to experience it for
themselves. Consumers have responded positively to larger screens, and the
Samsung Galaxy Fold’s revolutionary form factor offers a bigger, more immersive
screen without sacrificing portability. This is what we call innovation of new
mobile experience in action.”
And what about the release date?
It is already available in South Korea since September 6th,
and will be released in the UK on September 18th.
Few reporters got access to the new smart phone but weren’t
happy about it-

It seems like the reporter didn’t follow the user manual and
took off a protective layer that shouldn’t be removed at all. Samsung released
a statement regarding those issues and said –
“A limited number of early Galaxy Fold samples were
provided to media for review. We have received a few reports regarding the main
display on the samples provided. We will thoroughly inspect these units in
person to determine the cause of the matter. Separately, a few reviewers
reported having removed the top layer of the display causing damage to the
screen. The main display on the Galaxy Fold features a top protective layer,
which is part of the display structure designed to protect the screen from
unintended scratches. Removing the protective layer or adding adhesives to the main
display may cause damage. We will ensure this information is clearly delivered
to our customers.”

The famous franchise of ‘Mission: Impossible’ added Hayley
Atwell to join Tom Cruise and the rest of the crew for the 7th film.
Atwell mostly known for her role as Peggy Carter which appeared in serval Marvel
movies (‘Captain America: The First Avenger’, Avengers: Endgame) and serval TV
series (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), and even got her own show – ‘Agent Carter’.
The 7th and 8th films will be directed
by Christopher McQuarrie.
The director shared the news in his Instagram page –
NBA superstar, business man and entrepreneur, Lebron James
is looking to trademark the term “Taco Tuesday”. At all started with one Instagram
story and now it became a thing – Taco Tuesday. New Lakers star Anthony Davis
appeared in one video and even James with a Space-Jam 2 jersey was there.
But James wants to take it one step forward and LBJ Trademarks
LLC, one of Lebron’s companies, has filled an application to trademark “Taco
Tuesday”.
A company owned by Lebron James, LBJ Trademarks LLC, has filed a trademark for TACO TUESDAY.
The filing indicates Lebron intends to continue offering his popular 'TACO TUESDAY' posts on social media and launch a podcast under the name.
As it stated in the application – “advertising and
marketing services provided by means of indirect methods of marketing,
communications, namely, social media, search engine marketing, inquiry
marketing, mobile marketing, blogging and other forms of passive, shareable or
viral communications channels.”
JUST IN: LeBron James leaves no potential business opportunity on the table. Over time, he has sought to own “Taco Tuesday.” He has now filed to trademark the phrase for social media posts and a show of that name. First discovered by @JoshGerbenpic.twitter.com/IXNduvilzR
It’s seems like his move to the Los Angeles Lakers wasn’t entirely
base on basketball but on business as well as the good of his family.
Lebron started shooting Space Jam 2 in July and his son,
Lebron James Junior, who is known for his great potential, will play in Sierra Canyon
HS alongside the son of NBA legend Dwayne Wade, Zaire Wade.
The well-known comedian was in the passenger seat and Jared
Black drove Hart’s car. The police confirmed that Black wasn’t under the
influence of alcohol while driving.
Eniko, Hart’s wife said – “He’s great, he’s going to be
just fine. He’s good. Everybody’s good, thank god”.
Many celebrities posted on social media about this case,
sending love and support to their friend –
This was the official statement – “Two of the three
occupants were trapped in the vehicle. The remaining occupant and owner of the
vehicle, Kevin Hart, left the scene to his nearby residence to get medical
attention. The driver was located in the driver’s seat of the vehicle and
determined not to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the
collision. Hart and Black sustained major back injuries as a result of this
collision and were transported and treated at nearby hospitals (Northridge –
Hart, UCLA Westwood – Black).”
Matthew McConaughey is back to his University in Texas which
he graduated in 1993 after getting a degree in film. Now he is a full-time film
professor at the Department of Radio-Television-Film in the Moody College of Communication.
McConaughey has already been a visiting professor in the
past 4 years but now he got an official recognition as Jay Bernhardt, Dean of
Moody College said: “We are proud to welcome Professor McConaughey to
officially join our world-class faculty. Matthew cares deeply for our school
and our students, and we are thrilled that he shares his time and talent to
help prepare the next generation of media leaders and innovators.”
The famous actor is has appeared in about 50 movies and tv
series, won an Oscar for his memorable role in “Dallas Buyers Club” and his role
as a broker in wall street in “The Wolf of Wall Street”.
The new professor published a statement – “It’s the class I
wish I would have had when I was in film school. Working in the classroom with these
students gives me a chance to prepare them. Making movies, turning words on
paper into film, is both a science and art – no matter the time or generation.
The elements of truth and genuine joy for the process are timeless. That will
always be our classroom focus.”
We are sure most students just appreciate the fact that they
can learn from one of the best actors in Hollywood and only the future will
tell if McConaughey could pass his knowledge to the next generation and will be
able to shape our culture through his students.
It is now official – American Princess won’t have a 2nd
season. First reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Jamie Denbo was the creator, writer and executive producer.
The story is about Amanda (played by Georgia Flood), who runs away from her
wedding once realizing she is not where she wanted to be. An unexpected event
happened that made her feel more alive than ever before – she got to a
Renaissance Faire. In this Faire, she engage with new people, creating new
friendships , falls in love and gained few enemies on the way.
The show received a fair rating in both IMDB (6.1/10) and Rotten Tomatoes but the amount of people to rate the show is significantly low (about 500 people combined!) and on Youtube the trailer gained only about 125,000 views (while the Lifetime’s Youtube account has 3.3 million subscribers)
Jenji Kohan and Tara Herrmann also were executive producers.
IM Global Television and A+E Studios produced the show.
It was confirmed that Tom Holland will star in the next
Spiderman movies. Holland said it will be “something very special”
and “different”. This happens after Sony and Marvel Studios (powered
by Disney) couldn’t reach an agreement regarding profit share on the Spiderman
movies.
Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, the writes of the last
Spiderman movie “Far From Home” (which became Sony’s highest-grossing movie
ever) will return for the third movie. However, it’s still unknown if the
director, Jon Watts, will be apart of the next Spiderman movie.
Tom said – “We sat down with some of our creatives. We
pitched Spider-Man 3, which is going to be something very special, it’s going
to be something very different”. He continued -“I’m just so grateful that
Marvel changed my life and allowed my dreams to come true and Sony allowing me
to continue living my dream. It’s a crazy week and it’s never been done before
so we’ll see how it goes and it’ll be as amazing and as fun.”
Although SpiderMan is no longer a part of the MCU, Disney had
a Royalty contract with Sony regarding Spiderman merchandise which means Disney
will get 100% of the revenue made by it.
Part 7 will arrive to Netflix on September 13th and the 8th and final part will air in 2020.

‘The Ranch’ was the first ever comedy produced by Netflix aired on October 2016.
“My heart ? is full of gratitude to all of you for rockin’
with us every season. You made us HBO’s highest rated comedy for years and most
importantly, you helped create and sustain a platform for other actors to have
the OPPORTUNITY to work hard, grow and become household names. To me, the
opportunity Ballers created for so many others, is the real gold of our show.
I love you, I thank you and enjoy our final season of
BALLERS.
This SUNDAY on @HBO. @SevenBucksProd”
The show deals with the unspoken side of life for many football
players and retired ones. The Rock plays Spencer Strasmore, a retired pro
football superstar who works as a financial manager for active players.
In the 5th season, Spencer gets an offer to
become a team owner, while Joe tries to take Sports X to the next level after
Spencer leaves. Ricky deals with an unfamiliar situation and has to reinvent

The 47 years-old legend posted the news on his Instagram
account and shared a photo with over 150 million fans worldwide.
He captioned the known phrase “We Do” while publishing a
photo of them wearing white. The couple have been dating since 2008. They met
on the set of his movie ‘The Game Plan’ in 2006 while Johnson was still married
to his first wife, Dany Garcia. Johnson and Garcia divorced in 2007.
Martin says that he isn’t willing to change what he already
planned for the rest of the series and adding that the show’s ending won’t affect
his book’s ending.
In an interview with The Guardian, George was quoted that the
show’s end wasn’t “very good” for him – “No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t change
anything at all … You can’t please everybody, so you’ve got to please yourself…”.
Fans all over the world already signed a petition to recreate the 8th
and final season of the show, so it seems like the fans are on the same page with
Martin.
The 70-year-old Martin lamented to The Guardian that the
show and his new-found celebrity actually slowed down his writing. Martin said
that the production of the show on HBO slowed his writing – when the show started
he had 5 books already written, but couldn’t manage to finish the last 2 books
of the series. He added – “The very thing that should have speeded me up
actually slowed me down. Every day I sat down to write and even if I had a good
day … I’d feel terrible because I’d be thinking: ‘My God, I have to finish the
book. I’ve only written four pages when I should have written 40.’”
He also separated himself from the complaints online and from
all the fans theories – “I took myself out of all that … some of [the theories]
are right and some of [the theories] are wrong. They’ll find out when I finish”.
George also said he lost his willingness to interact with fans
– “I don’t want to go to a party where an unending succession of people want to
take selfies with me. Because that’s not fun the way it was in the old days.
That’s work.”
He continues to share his experience – “I mean, I can’t go
into a bookstore any more, and that used to be my favorite thing to do in the
world. To go in and wander from stack to stack, take down some books, read a
little, leave with a big stack of things I’d never heard of when I came in. Now
when I go to a bookstore, I get recognized within 10 minutes and there’s a
crowd around me. So you gain a lot but you also lose things.”
According to a report, DeMarcus Cousins, the Los Angeles
Lakers’ center torn his ACL.
The reports started to get in early on Thursday (by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski) stating that the center bumped his knee with an opposing player during a training session in Vegas and that he left the training with an injured knee. The final test showed that Cousins suffers from ACL.
It seems like Cousins can’t break out of his bad luck. In 2018, in the last year of his contract, Cousins suffered from an Achilles injury (which considered one of the toughest injuries in basketball) while playing in New Orleans. Last summer, after teams didn’t offer him contracts, he signed with the Golden State Warriors. At the beginning of the playoff Cousins tore his quad and managed to get back to the finals where the Toronto Raptors won the series.
This summer, many teams didn’t show any interest in him so
he signed a minimum contract with the Lakers. Cousins, 4 X All-Star, was
expected to be a key piece in this Lakers team but now might miss the entire season.
The Lakers are allowed to cut Cousins if his return time
will be after June 15th.
We hope DeMarcus will get back stronger than before.
