The tablet wars continue to rage, and it seems that Samsung and Apple remain at the forefront. Ardent fanboys and fangirls will stick to their preferred brands, but in the meantime, there are other players who are not-so-silently entering the game.

I have not watched all the movies, but there is something to be said about the story of this young boy with that lightning scar on his forehead.
