Watch Game of Thrones' Seventh Episode a Week Early!
HBO GO unsheathes a special Game of Thrones offer for subscribers that lets users view seventh episode "You Win or You Die" immediately after episode six!
If you're anything like us, the wait in between Game of Thrones episodes, though merely a week, drives us madder than the Mad King himself with anticipation! But no longer!
Once this Sunday, May 22nd's episode "A Golden Crown" rolls its credits, HBO GO has a special offer for subscribers that allows them to immediately view episode seven "You Win or You Die" through the service! And trust us, once you've seen the climax of "A Golden Crown," you're going to need that next episode to avoid early withdrawals!
And if you weren't aware or watching already (which you should, now that season two is in store), the series stars Sean Bean as Ned Stark, and boasts an otherwise impressive cast comprised of Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister, Mark Addy as King Baratheon, Lena Headey as Queen Cersei, and a host of others all vying for the iron throne of the fictional Westeros.
HBOGo.com also allows access to special features where you'll be able to see "alert feeds" that offer special features as you watch, including commentary from the creators, behind the scenes looks, maps, 3-D costume and item renderings and character guides!
Need more reasons to watch? Check it out, and sign up for HBO GO to watch episode seven after the official press release!

Voice-Changing Iron Man Motorcycle Helmet is Awesome, Unsafe
You're already riding a motorcycle, so feeble concerns like safety aren't yours to have. Leave it for the moped owners. In lieu of a properly constructed helmet, why not try and cop one of Youtube user Tigerpause444's (I see what you did there, mreowr) custom creations?
The coolest one is the helmet based on the Iron Man Mark VI suit, which has a retractable visor, blue LED lights in the eye-hole spots, and voice changing capability (spoiler: it's one of those kiddie voice-chaing helmets mounted on a regular bike helmet).
Other helmets this dude's made include War Machine from Iron Man, a humongous furry Cookie Monster helmet, Hello Kitty, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from Transformers, Master Chief from the Halo video game series, and Star Wars' Darth Vader. Tigerpause warns that they might not be entirely safe for road wear, but I'd rather be made into street pizza looking like Tony Stark than a big ol' dork.
Though he says on his profile page that the helmets aren't for sale, everybody's got a price. My offer is $20, due to the fact that I don't actually own a motorcycle and would just wear this around the house. Get at me, dog.

Dexter's Got A Brand-New Nanny For Season Six
Showtime announces former Off the Map star Aimee Garcia will join the sixth season of Dexter as Batista's sister and a new nanny for baby Harrison.
Fresh off the cancellation of ABC's Off the Map, TVLine reports that Dexter has recruited Map star Aimee Garcia for a new role in the coming season as baby Harrison's new nanny Jamie, and none other than Angel Batista's sister herself! Could there be romance in the air, amidst all the blood spatter? After Lumen left (and thank Harry she did), we know Dexter doesn't mind getting down a bit in the wake of his wife's murder.
Oh, and don't worry about Dexter's former nanny Sonya, as the report points out "sources confirm she either got fired, quit, or died." Hmm. Alright then.
Garcia joins several new faces for the cast of season six, most recently hip-hop artist and actor Mos Def, and the big news of Colin Hanks' season-long recurring role as "Travis, a highly intelligent young expert on ancient artifacts who gets linked to a series of grisly murders in Miami."
Other known details for season six include the reveal that Dexter's relationship with sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) will take center stage this season, and the announcement of three as-yet-uncast recurring roles for the season.
Dexter begins shooting in Los Angeles May 25th for a likely Fall premiere of the sixth season's first episode, titled "Those Kinds of Things!" (SpoilerTV)
But don't take our word for it! Check out the teaser trailer, and make your bloody mark in the comments section below!

Facebook Buying Out Skype?
Facebook Buying Out Skype? $4 Billion Deal Being Talked About
See who Mark Zuckerberg is after these days. We hear the Facebook CEO is eyeing the takeover of the much popular Skype. If the grapevine is true to what it manages to churn out, Facebook might end up buying out Skype for a price close to $4 billion.

We need not tell you that Skype and Facebook have been associated with each other for some time now. If you would remember, Facebook had been in the scheme of things at Skype and this was demonstrated by Skype when they rolled out their version 5.0 software for Windows.
The software had a dedicated Facebook tab so as to enable users to chat or call Facebook friends via Skype. This was in fact made possible right from “the Facebook newsfeed which can be viewed from within the Skype application”.
By the way, if you are looking at going into what the $4 billion ‘possible’ takeover would bring to Skype, let us also take you to a situation where Skype had been mulling over an IPO. If you would remember, the Skype IPO was recently delayed by its new CEO until the second half of 2011. And that public offer would have brought to the Skype coffers only around $1 billion. Considering such a scene, the Facebook move, if at all that bears fruit, could mean a lot to Skype. We also hear Google too is looking at a venture with Skype. More details are awaited.
What do you think about the Facebook plan for acquiring Skype? Send in your views.

Facebook Reaches 500 Million Users
If Facebook users constitute an entire nation, it would rank as third most populous country.
The six year old giant social networking site reached the 500 million users mark last weekend and the site is expected to announce the actual number anytime this week.
As part of the occasion, the site will be launching Facebook Stories, a special application that will feature short tales about users whose lives were changed because of Facebook.
500 million users are more than the latest population census of the United States which stands at 309 million. Only China and India have more people, each with a billion residents.
Analysts believe that advertisers will take advantage of the situation despite the fact that the site had encountered issues in the past few months. Such issues include privacy settings and the cartoon drawing competition that Muslim users found to be not good.
Facebook was created by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg and was launched last February 4, 2004.
