Awesome graphic shows which Thrones stars got the most S3 screen time | Blastr - FrontMotion Firefox. The third season of Game of Thrones was definitely an ensemble effort, but who was the real star of the show? Fans of the hit HBO fantasy series are still talking about all the big developments in the show this year, but what happens when we talk less about what happened and more about which characters got the most time in the spotlight? BuzzFeed's Kate Aurthur did the research for all of us fans, breaking down exactly how much time each character has on screen in the very varied and frequently perspective-jumping third season, and she found a clear screentime winner.
So, who came out on top? You might not be surprised to find that it was Peter Dinklage's Tyrion Lanniser, who picked up one hour, ten minutes and 38 seconds of screentime this season. Check out the full screentime list, arranged from highest to lowest, in the graphic below. (Via BuzzFeed) Watch the leaked Avengers 2 teaser from Comic-Con before it's gone! | Blastr - FrontMotion Firefox. A leaked copy of Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron teaser footage from Comic-Con has finally leaked online. Hurry, before it’s gone! As has been previously reported, the footage shows Iron Man’s mask being hammered into the shape of Ultron.
There’s also a great voiceover, chopped together from some choice quotes from the first Avengers. Since the film isn’t even shooting yet, there’s obviously no actual footage, but it’s still a great little bit to tantalize our senses. It'll be interesting to see how Whedon adapts elements from the acclaimed comic arc to wreak havoc on the super gang. The film opens May 1, 2015.

What happens when you combine the cast of the original Star Trek with those from the reboot? Let's find out. William Shatner, nearly half a century later, is still the James T. Kirk. Chris Pine's take on Captain Kirk is pretty stellar, too. And the same can be said for all the cast members from the original show and the new movies. So, rather than choose which is better (like we used to back in the Kirk vs.
Picard days), instead let's just combine them. Once you're done, tell us -- who's your favorite combo crew member? (via Nerd Reactor) Your Pictures: Photos from Wales - FrontMotion Firefox. Newsbeat - New nose grown by surgeons to replace original one - FrontMotion Firefox. 26 September 2013 Last updated at 13:57 Share A new nose has been grown by surgeons on a patient's forehead, so it can be transplanted to replace his original one. Xiaolian, 22, didn't look after his badly damaged nose following a traffic accident in August 2012.
The infection corroded the cartilage of his nose, making it impossible for surgeons to fix it. They then decided to grow him a new one at a hospital in Fuzhou in Fujian province, China. It was grown by placing a skin tissue expander onto Xiaolian's forehead, cutting it into the shape of a nose and planting cartilage taken from his ribs. The surgeons said that the new nose is in good shape and the transplant surgery could be performed soon. Mr Shehan Hettiaratchy is Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and a member of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS). The parents' long goodbye - FrontMotion Firefox. 25 September 2013Last updated at 21:03 ET By Sean Coughlan BBC News education correspondent More than 400,000 youngsters are starting university in the UK this year. That means hundreds of thousands of parents saying goodbye. The approach road to the student village is a long traffic jam of family cars, stuffed full with boxes, pillows, nervous families, memories and expectations.
This is the very first day at university - parents taking their children and getting ready to say goodbye. It's one of those big events that never makes the headlines but will have been ringed in the diaries of hundreds of thousands of families. On motorways and trains, more than 421,000 youngsters will be making this symbolic journey.
At the University of Sheffield, a stream of parents arrive with their sons and daughters at the Endcliffe Student Village. It's like the first day at an academic holiday resort. But under the South Yorkshire autumn sunshine there's no escaping the poignancy. “Start Quote From this... Apple Maps flaw results in drivers crossing airport runway - FrontMotion Firefox. 25 September 2013Last updated at 15:42 ET By Leo Kelion Technology reporter Apple's Maps app directed motorists to one of Fairbanks airport's runways rather than its car park An Alaskan airport has closed an aircraft access route because of a flaw with Apple's Maps app.
Fairbanks International Airport told a local newspaper that in the past three weeks two motorists had driven along the taxiway and across one of its runways. Apple's app had directed users along the taxiway but did not specifically tell them to drive onto the runway. The firm has now issued a temporary fix. Users searching for directions are told they are "not available" rather than showing the earlier route. A spokesman for Apple was unable to provide comment.
The airport said it had first complained to the phone-maker three weeks ago via the local attorney general's office. The Google Maps app sends drivers on a different route Warnings ignored However, the latest mishap indicates problems remain. Empty F-16 jet tested by Boeing and US Air Force - FrontMotion Firefox. 24 September 2013Last updated at 12:58 ET By Leo Kelion Technology reporter Test flight of the fighter jet controlled from the ground Boeing has revealed that it has retrofitted retired fighter jets to turn them into drones.
It said that one of the Lockheed Martin F-16 made a first flight with an empty cockpit last week. Two US Air Force pilots controlled the plane from the ground as it flew from a Florida base to the Gulf of Mexico. Boeing suggested that the innovation could ultimately be used to help train pilots, providing an adversary they could practise firing on. The jet - which had previously sat mothballed at an Arizona site for 15 years - flew at an altitude of 40,000ft (12.2km) and a speed of Mach 1.47 (1,119mph/1,800km/h). It carried out a series of manoeuvres including a barrel roll and a "split S" - a move in which the aircraft turns upside down before making a half loop so that it flies the right-way-up in the opposite direction.
Batman police spin-off commissioned by Fox - FrontMotion Firefox. 25 September 2013Last updated at 07:17 ET Gary Oldman played Commissioner Gordon in the Dark Knight trilogy The Fox television network has ordered a Batman spin-off series based around police commissioner James Gordon. The Gordon "origin" story, to be titled Gotham, will follow him in his days as a detective, long before Bruce Wayne dons the batsuit.
Written by Britain's Bruno Heller (The Mentalist, Rome), it will feature some of the series' best-known foes - though Batman himself will be absent. Fox, who won the show after a bidding war, has already ordered a full series. Gordon is a staple of the Batman series who first appeared in Detective Comics #27, the same issue that introduced the Dark Knight. The character was played by Gary Oldman in Christopher Nolan's recent film trilogy, by Pat Hingle in the four Batman films that preceded it, and by Neil Hamilton in the 1960s TV series. In the comic book world Gordon has already starred in two spin-offs, Batman: GCPD and Gotham Undercover.
Rural broadband rollout: Taxpayers being 'ripped off', say MPs - FrontMotion Firefox. 26 September 2013Last updated at 08:00 ET By Jane Wakefield Technology reporter Rural dwellers say they want the same broadband speeds as those living in cities The taxpayer is being "ripped off" over the cost of rolling out broadband to rural areas of the UK, MPs have said. The Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) says the government "mismanaged" the project by awarding all 26 rural broadband contracts to BT.
It also said BT had "exploited its quasi-monopoly position" as the main provider. The government defended the process as fair, while BT said it was "disturbed" by the claims which were "wrong". 'Failed to deliver' Making sure that those living in the countryside get broadband speeds comparable to those living in towns and cities has long been something the government has grappled with. Public Accounts Committee chairwoman Margaret Hodge said taxpayers had been ''fleeced'' But only Fujitsu and BT entered the bidding competition, with Fujitsu later withdrawing.
