Google published a blog post on Thursday responding to the European Commission’s claims that some of its practices are anti-competitive.

The show’s co-creators embraced the freedom of not being tied to the comic.
Drawing on the comic book series of the same name, The Walking Dead has told five seasons worth of scary, compelling stories. However Robert Kirkman, the mastermind behind the comic and the television series, was convinced that there was even more story to be told about the zombie apocalypse, and he wanted to create another outlet on television to do so. Seeking a creative partner who shared his vision, Kirkman invited Dave Erickson on board the project as co-creator and showrunner of Fear the Walking Dead. Erickson was up for the challenge and impressed that Kirkman wanted to press the concept further.

Back in 2012, we welcomed the dawn of the massive open online course (MOOC) and its promise to democratize learning with open arms.
Jim Henson had a vision of digital puppetry in the 1980s that is finally coming to fruition.
When you sit your kids down in front of Netflix to watch Word Party, an animated series debuting in 2017, the last thing they’re going be thinking about is the intricacies of how it was made. And that’s good: That means that the team of puppeteers, artists, and producers behind the scenes are doing their jobs.
