Content warning: the following contains plot spoilers for the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building.
Hulu's Only Murders in the Building has been dominating social media since it premiered, flooding the internet with fan discussions and investigations into who killed the mysterious Tim Kono. Viewers have followed along week to week as the unconventional crime-solving trio of Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), Charles Haden-Savage (Steve Martin), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) have searched for Tim Kono's killer.
Every subsequent episode has introduced new suspects and eliminated others. But even as the series approaches its first season finale, the mystery of who killed Tim Kono is still wide open. Many suspects are still completely likely at this point, but some of them are clearly much more likely than others.
8 Oscar Torres
When Only Murders first began, the mysterious figure known as "Tie-Dye Guy" was one of the group's first suspects. On the night of Tim Kono's murder, Tie-Dye Guy - later revealed to be Mabel's childhood friend, Oscar - was spotted heading upstairs just before the crime was committed, while everyone else was leaving the building during what they believed to be a fire drill.
Oscar made sense as a first guess, but his status as a suspect was too easy. It would have been too convenient for the first character to have a real connection to Tim Kono to be the one who murdered him. Oscar's explanations and alibis have been thoroughly checked out by the group, clearing him from further suspicion and making him the least likely suspect at this point.
7 Theo Dimas
Theo Dimas was a relative unknown for much of Only Murders' first season. He was the focus of the game-changing episode "The Boy from 6B," a mostly silent episode that focused on Theo's experiences across his life as a deaf person and presented true inclusion of a character with a disability. The episode also explored how he was caught up in one crime after another, first with Zoe's death and later his father's jewelry crime ring.
The group behind the Only Murders podcast was eager to pin Tim Kono's murder on Theo and his father after they learned of his involvement in both of those prior crimes. But subsequent evidence has revealed that there was more to the murder than they knew, which has likely ruled Theo out as a possible suspect once and for all. He may have played a tragic role in Zoe's accidental death, but Tim Kono's demise likely had nothing to do with him.
6 Ndidi Idoko
Not much has been revealed about Ndidi Idoko, the woman who was Tim Kono's next-door neighbor. Early episodes included the reveal that she was envious of Tim's apartment and that she even went so far as to request an apartment swap soon after his death.
While it wouldn't be the first time that real estate was the motive for a murder, it seems unlikely that this would have been a strong enough cause for Ndidi to commit the crime. She did later admit to often overhearing Tim with a lover, claiming that she herself never liked him. But that wording does lend itself to a very skewed reading in which she didn't like Tim, but she did love him, and as such, she could have been the one to poison him in a crime of passion.
5 Jose Torres
Sometimes, the most likely suspects are ones that are hidden in plain sight. Not once during the investigation has the podcast team considered the possibility of Jose Torres, the father of Oscar and the superintendent of the Arconia, being Tim Kono's murder.
But Jose has had plenty of motive and opportunity both when it comes to Tim Kono. As the superintendent of the building, he would have had many opportunities to have access to Tim Kono's apartment. And since Tim Kono willingly lied about Oscar's alleged involvement in Zoe's death, which resulted in Oscar going to prison for a decade, Jose could have been motivated by a need for revenge, a common motive that has fueled many memorable revenge plots and movies.
4 Teddy Dimas
Another suspect who has hidden in plain sight has been the podcast's own sponsor, Teddy Dimas. A good candidate for inclusion in actor Nathan Lane's best work, Teddy has been a longtime supporter of Oliver's many business ventures, but his investment in the Only Murders podcast has had a very personal stake as it would keep attention off his own crime ventures, which was also going on within the building.
Although the series' eighth episode reasoned that Teddy Dimas was out of the building during the time of Tim Kono's murder and therefore likely could not have been part of it, it is still possible that he was involved after all. Since Tim was murdered by poison, not by the gunshot wound, Teddy could have played a role in the poisoning, even if he wasn't there to deliver the final shot.
3 Howard Morris
Howard's cat, Evelyn, may not have been one of the most memorable cats in television history, but it could still be the case that Tim Kono was killed over a grudge that started because of her. Tim was allergic to cats and hated Evelyn's wandering around the Arconia because of that, which led to Tim and Howard coming in frequent conflict with each other.
The same day Tim was killed, however, so was Evelyn. As it turned out, both of them were poisoned, despite initial reports of Tim dying via gunshot. It may not be likely that Howard would have killed his own cat to cover up his involvement, but it could still be the case that he poisoned Tim and his poor cat suffered an accidental dosage by proximity.
2 Bunny
From her first appearance in the series, Bunny has been a character not to be messed with. Foul-mouthed and quick-tempered, Bunny has never been someone that any character has wanted to be on the bad side of. Unfortunately, Oliver has always been on her bad side, which gives viewers a firsthand experience of her nastiest moments.
In the series' ninth episode, Bunny was particularly eager to put an end to the Only Murders podcast, perhaps due to a desire to conceal her own involvement in Tim Kono's murder. Bunny has been ruthless with Oliver, doing everything she can to squeeze every last penny out of him and ultimately evict him. It's likely, then, that Bunny has had similar feuds with other tenants of the Arconia, and perhaps one of them even crossed the line into murder.
1 Jan
Jan has always been an enigma as a character. It was clear, just by casting Amy Ryan (best known as the lovable Holly Flax in The Office) in the role and billing her as a series regular, that there would be much more to her character than just the role of Charles' unlikely girlfriend. It wasn't until the series' penultimate episode that things began to snap into focus with her character, however.
There have been many signs pointing to Jan's likelihood as the murderer. Her bassoon case is perfect for hiding a likely murder weapon, and bassoon cleaning supplies were found in items taken from Tim Kono's apartment. Further, Jan has been lying about her status as the first chair bassoonist. It is possible that she was Tim Kono's girlfriend, but her rival for the first chair position may also have been his lover, which means that she could have had a particular jealousy-driven motive to kill Tim Kono if, for example, she had also been trying to get the real first chair out of the way.
On Tuesday, the Halo Infinite edition Xbox Series X console bundle was made available to pre-order for GameStop PowerUp Rewards Pro members ahead of the game’s long-awaited release in December. The latest Halo installment is set to pick up where 2015’s Halo 5: Guardians left off, and it will bring with it an all-new limited edition new-gen console and controller.
A special limited-edition Halo Infinite Xbox Series X console and controller bundle, in addition to a separately sold Halo Infinite Elite Series 2 controller, was unveiled in August, with the products being set for a November 15 release to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Halo franchise. Unfortunately, scalpers quickly got a hold of Halo Infinite Xbox Series X pre-orders and began listing them for prices upwards of $1000, just as has been done with the vanilla Xbox Series X since it launched in 2020. Luckily for some GameStop customers (some of whom might also be scalpers), the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X has been made available at retail price.
On Twitter and elsewhere, GameStop announced a $550 special edition Halo Infinite Xbox Series X bundle became available to pre-order an hour early for GameStop PowerUp Rewards Pro Members. The gaming retailer's bundle includes the custom Halo Infinite-themed Xbox Series X console (which features a star pattern modeled after the Zeta Halo skyline and a “Cortana Blue” vent), a matching Xbox Series X/S gamepad (not to be confused with the green Halo Infinite Elite Series 2 controller), and a digital download code for Halo Infinite.
Halo Infinite was notoriously planned to be released as an Xbox Series X/S launch title, but developer 343 Industries ultimately delayed the game after weighing negative feedback, leaving the console's launch window next to empty. In the months since, public opinion on the game has warmed largely thanks a series of multiplayer betas, but its sales and Xbox Game Pass success isn't necessarily assured after the developer revealed Halo Infinite's Forge and campaign co-op modes won’t be available at release.
For those customers prepared to drop back into the Halo universe feet-first after the long wait for Halo Infinite regardless of its launch state (as well as for those who lack an Xbox Series X or want a more fancifully designed one), the special edition Halo InfiniteXbox Series X console and controller bundle seems like a reasonable deal for welcoming Master Chief into their living rooms in style. GameStop's pre-orders for the bundle came less than five weeks before the console releases on November 15, a date that only precedes Halo Infinite's own release by a few weeks.
This may come as bad news for most WhatsApp users but Google may switch some users of the mobile app to a limited storage plan.
Google currently offers unlimited storage for WhatsApp backup chats. Saving WhatsApp chat backups on Google Drive is one of the easiest and most effective ways for WhatsApp users to switch their phones and retain their old messages and chats.
Thanks to this option, the users can exclude specific media to be included in the next backup.
According to WABetaInfo, the feature is under development and will be available in a future update.
"Unfortunately, the release date is unknown but we’re carefully following the development of the feature and we will keep you updated as usual," it said in a report.
It added that there may be a different background for the reason why WhatsApp is developing this feature.
It is important to note that WhatsApp backups do not count against the Google Drive storage quota under an agreement between the two companies.
Unfortunately, the publication said, there is a good chance that WhatsApp backups on Google Drive will partially count again and WhatsApp is planning to offer some options to manage the backup size.
"Google might stop offering unlimited storage for WhatsApp backups, but they will switch to a limited plan (2000 MB per user)," WABetainfo said.
"This new plan has not been announced yet and everything may change in the next weeks, but this is the idea around the new way to store WhatsApp backups on Google Drive," it added.
"Note that we prefer to mark this news as a rumour seen that nothing has been publicly announced, but this is what we have learned after studying the feature and this is not to discard: Google Photos stopped offering unlimited storage some months ago".
Apple’s next hardware event will take place on October 18th, according to invites it sent out today. The company is widely expected to use its second fall event to launch a pair of new MacBooks, a redesigned higher-end Mac Mini, and possibly a pair of third-generation AirPods.
The invite video teases one word: Unleashed. As seen below in a tweet from Apple marketing exec Greg Joswiak, it appears in a dotted font that could hint at mini LED tech on the way. The “special” event will stream live on Apple.com at 1PM ET / 10AM PT.
There have been reports for months that Apple is on the cusp of releasing new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. The new MacBooks would be the latest step in Apple’s transition away from Intel chips, replacing them with an Arm-based processor called the M1X that Apple designs itself. The new chip could boost performance compared to the M1 chip that debuted last year, as Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports the M1X has ten CPU cores compared to the M1’s eight, plus graphics processors with 16 or 32 cores compared to seven or eight in M1-equipped machines.
Other anticipated features include the return of fan-favorite MacBook features like magnetic MagSafe charging, an HDMI port, and an SD card slot. The maligned OLED touch bar, mercifully, could be on the way out. Gurman recently noted that stock of the company’s existing MacBook Pro appears to be running low.
Rumors suggest that the same M1X processor will feature in a redesigned higher-end Mac Mini. The new machine will reportedly have more ports than last year’s M1 model, with two Thunderbolt / USB 4 Type-C ports and two USB Type-A ports. The changes should make the new Mac Mini much better suited to power users.
Finally, Apple may announce a pair of redesigned AirPods, representing the third generation of the company’s original true wireless earbuds. The AirPods are expected to adopt a design similar to the AirPods Pro, with shorter stems and a redesigned charging case.
Moon chairs for kids have been popular for a long time, and there are plenty of reasons why. If you have found this article, we assume that you might be interested in buying one as well.
If you are keen to learn more about moon chairs, we suggest you keep reading. You will know what a kids’ moon chair is, the benefits of owning one, how to clean it, and where you can purchase them. We have also tested their safety, so stay tuned.
What is a Kids’ Moon Chair?
A kids’ moon chair is a small foldable chair for toddlers and small kids. It resembles the kids’ egg chair, but the size is smaller, and the weight is lower.
Moon chairs can be used indoors and outdoors because they’re made from sturdy material that’s easy to clean with a damp rag. That being said, they have been known to fade in the sun, so it’s best to give them some protection from the elements when possible.
The Moon Chair, also known as “Kinder Egg Chair” or “Moon Seats,” is a trendy piece of furniture for toddlers because they fit so well with their tiny bodies. In addition to being fun and stylish, these chairs provide a healthy and comfortable way for your toddler to sit.
What Are The Benefits Of Owning A Moon Chair?
Now that you know what a moon chair for kids is, we will look at the benefits of owning a moon chair. As you can imagine, there are many, but we have limited this article to the most common features people love about the moon chair.
Foldable
Most toddler chairs are small and can easily be folded for storage when not in use. This makes moon chairs perfect for anyone with limited space or looking to save money by minimizing their purchases.
Easy To Carry
The chair’s smaller size makes it easy to carry around your house, outside on the porch, or from room to room.
In addition, the moon chair’s low weight makes it easy for toddlers to pick up and carry themselves. It also means you won’t have difficulty loading the chair in and out of a car trunk when going on a family road trip.
Comfortable
Moon chairs for kids provide a comfortable place to lean back and relax. With a thick cushion, you can be sure that your young child will sit comfortably for as long as they like.
In addition, the thick cushion makes it easier to clean because you can remove most spills with a damp rag. In other words, you won’t have to drag out the vacuum when your child spills their juice on the chair!
Note that not all moon chairs are plushy. Some versions may be made for a lean-back feel like the ones adults would use, but most kids prefer something soft and cozy. It’s really up to your toddler which one they prefer.
Fun Designs
The great thing about kids’ moon chairs is that you can find them in practically any color, shape, and design. The sky’s the limit when it comes to choosing your child’s favorite style because there are so many varieties available.
Parents typically buy their children one or two styles based on their favorite color or how well they like them. For example, your child may like the green one with racing stripes because that is the color of their favorite sports team.
You can also choose styles based on how many kids will be sharing the chair. If you’re buying two chairs for your children, it’s a good idea to purchase similar moon chairs. If you’re buying only one chair, then it’s OK to get any style you like.
Cheap
You can typically find kids’ moon chairs for under $30, which is a steal considering how well-made and durable they are. Most kids’ moon chairs will last until their child has outgrown them or becomes too big for the chair.
Despite their lower price, you won’t have to sacrifice quality to save money. Keep in mind that price is just one small factor when deciding which chair is right for you and your child.
How Safe Are Moon Chairs?
With so many benefits, you may wonder if moon chairs are safe. The answer is yes! Moon chairs for kids are entirely safe when used correctly and under normal circumstances.
That being said, there are safety precautions you should take to ensure your child’s safety when using their chair, just like with any other piece of furniture or toy they’ll play with.
The first thing you should do is check the weight limit for your moon chair. Most chairs are suitable for children that weigh between 100-125 pounds but may vary depending on how sturdy or well-made your specific model is.
As long as you don’t purchase a chair that’s too small for your child’s size and weight, you won’t have to worry about it breaking.
You should also ensure that your child doesn’t climb on top of their chair or use it as a step ladder. Be sure to keep an eye on them as they play and keep the chairs out of rooms where children aren’t allowed, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms.
Can I Buy Moon Chairs for Kids on Amazon?
Of course, you can buy children’s moon chairs on Amazon! The great thing about shopping online is that it makes finding the chair of your child’s dreams a cinch.
You’ll be able to shop for moon chairs by searching through different categories such as most popular, top-rated, and best selling. You may also see some suggested items or other products that may interest you.
In addition, Amazon has a helpful customer review section where parents leave feedback about the moon chair. The reviews are precious because they provide real-world insight from other customers who have already purchased and used that product.
If you want to read more about the product before buying it, then be sure to check out the customer reviews.
Moon chairs can get dirty quickly with a child playing in them constantly. Luckily, it’s easy to clean when you have the right tools.
To effectively remove any dirt from your children’s moon chair, you will need:
A vacuum cleaner Rubber gloves Spray bottle filled with soap and water solution To start, use your vacuum cleaner to remove any large chunks of dirt. Then, put on rubber gloves and spray the moon chair with a mixture of water and soap.
You can also add in some vinegar or bleach, depending on how dirty the chair is. The solution will help break down any grime so that it’s easier to clean up.
Next, go over the chair with a damp sponge. Be sure to rub off any tough dirt spots and stains that remain on your children’s toy. You may need to repeat this step several times, depending on how dirty the toy is.
When you’re done cleaning it, be sure to let the moon chair air dry before allowing your child to play with it again.
We can’t really say we’re surprised at this point – the Pixel 6 duo leaked yet again. This time it was Carphone Warehouse that jumped the gun as the retailer published the pages for both models. They have been taken down now, but not before Evan Blass
spotted them. Here is everything you may want to know about the upcoming Google phones before their October 19 announcement.
We’ll start with the Pixel 6 Pro. It is powered by Google’s first custom-built chipset. Previously, the company designed an image processing chip, but that wasn’t an integrated design. The Google Tensor chipset as it is called has on-device AI hardware for accelerating features like Night Sight, Portrait Mode and the new Magic Eraser (more on that in a bit). It is optimized for power efficiency yet it manages to be 80% faster than the Pixel 5’s Snapdragon 765G.
The Pro model has the most advanced camera on a Google phone ever. It starts with the main module whose 50 MP sensor is much larger than the tiny 1/2.55” sensor inside the Pixel 5. It captures 150% more light, which will be a boon for night time photos.
Also, the telephoto lens is back. This one offers 4x optical magnification, which can be extended to 20x using Super Res Zoom. There isn’t much on the ultra wide camera other than that it will have a 12 MP sensor.
The selfie camera will be fairly wide itself with a 94º field of view (in RAW mode, presumably before lens correction).
Now for Magic Eraser – it’s an AI tool that removes unwanted people and objects from your photo. This will be most useful in crowded touristy areas where you can’t get the place all to yourself. There’s also Face Unblur, which rescues blurry photos by restoring the face of your subject.
The Pixel 6 Pro will support 30W charging over USB-C, getting to 50% in 30 minutes (the 30W charger will be sold separately). Fast wireless charging at 23W and battery share are also supported.
The display will be a 6.7” LTPO OLED panel with variable refresh rate ranging from 10 Hz to 120 Hz. It will be covered with Gorilla Glass Victus, the whole phone will enjoy IP68 dust and water resistance.
Security will be a key feature for the phone with the new Titan M2 chip, a sequel to the Titan M that was introduced with the Pixel 3 series. To help it fight off new attacks, Google will provide 5 years of security updates.
Other highlight features include offline translations in 55 languages. You can point the camera at a sign to get it translated or get translated captions for a podcast. The At a Glance feature will surface relevant info for upcoming events, e.g. your plane ticket. The Pixels will come with the new Android 12, though some features are Google-exclusive.
Finally, a few accessories. There’s the 30W USB-C charger, of course. Tthe Pixel Stand wireless charger can turn the phone into a hub that can control smart devices and a photo frame that shows pictures from Google Photos. There’s also a translucent protective case made with over 30% post-consumer recycled plastics.
Moving on to the smaller Pixel 6. It too will be powered by the Google Tensor chipset paired with the Titan M2 security chip. The phone will feature the same 50 MP main and 12 MP ultra wide cameras, but it will miss out on the telephoto module.
The display will measure 6.4” and it will be a regular OLED. It will have a high refresh rate, but it doesn't sound like an LTPO panel. It will still be covered with Gorilla Glass Victus and the phone gets an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
The same accessories are available for the smaller Pixel 6, though the wireless charging is a fraction slower – 21W.
The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will launch on October 19, but we should warn you that they will only be available in 8 countries, so getting one will depend on where you live. The smaller Pixel 6 should start at €650.
ColorOS 12 beta official Roadmap/Timeline: These devices will receive the update – Today, a launch event Oppo has released its new ColorOS 12 skin, based on Android 12 for the global market. It not only features fresh design aesthetics but also a boatload of exciting new features. ColorOS 12 advocates authenticity and noise reduction in design.
The new acrylic icon has just the right light and shadow details and light style, and the level is richer and more suitable for the real texture; at the same time,
the white space is processed and the text contrast is improved. The distinction between light and dark colors redefines information density, making information acquisition faster and more comfortable in the long run.

While there are several superheroes blessed with the uncanny power of elasticity, two of the more iconic stretchy comic book heroes are One Piece's Monkey D. Luffy and the Fantastic Four's leader Mr. Fantastic. Naturally, since their powers are based on their ability to stretch and contort themselves in unworldly forms, the question becomes, whose stretchability is the strongest.
Neither Luffy nor Mr. Fantastic were born with their powers. Instead, each came onto their powers as a result of an outside event. In the case of Luffy, that event occurred when he ate the "Gum-Gum Fruit" as a child. As a result of eating the fruit, Luffy's body was rendered in a rubber-like state that allowed
him to stretch, bend, elongate, and inflate his body. In contrast, Reed Richards' transformation occurred after he piloted an authorized flight into space with his future wife Sue Storm, her brother - Johnny Storm, and Reed's college roommate Benjamin Grimm. The flight, which was conducted without proper protection, was pelted by gamma radiation. That radiation transformed Reed's DNA to give him the ability to stretch every part of his body as if he were a rubber band.
On the surface, it might seem that there is little difference in the stretching ability of Luffy and Mr. Fantastic. Both Luffy and Mr. Fantastic's power of elasticity allows them to reform their bodies into any shape that they wish. In addition, their rubbery consistency makes them immune from most "blunt" attacks such as a punch, kick, or even a bullet. Moreover, their elasticity allows them to transform their bodies into effective weapons. For instance, both can use their bodies to redirect bullets and shells back towards the shooter. In addition, both can use their bodies to wrap up and constrain others from moving. However, a deeper dive into the abilities of Luffy and Mr, Fantastic reveals that not all stretching abilities are equal.
Despite the similarities, there is one crucial metric that separates the top-rated from the runner-up, namely maximum stretch distance. Indeed, how powerful is one elasticity, if one's ability to stretch covers only a short distance. In this respect, Luffy comes out as the clear winner. Indeed, Luffy has the ability to stretch without restriction. That is, he can stretch as far as he deems necessary to accomplish the task. Conversely, while there is no official limit to how far Reed can stretch, it has been
demonstrated that there are limits upon which Reed can effectively control his stretching abilities. There is a distance where Reed loses his ability to effectively control these body parts. Conversely, there is no such known limitation for Luffy.
While there is no argument that both Luffy and Mr. Fantastic have incredibly powerful abilities of elasticity, not all rubber-like abilities are the same. The Fantastic Four'sMr. Fantastic might be able to use his powers to wrap up a villain across the street, chances are that One Piece'sLuffy can do the same a block or even a city away.
