13 directors who would be worthy replacements for James Gunn on ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’
source Kevin Winter/Getty Images When Disney fired James Gunn from directing “Guardians of the Galaxy 3” last week, it came as a shock to many, and was the unfortunate result of offensive tweets from years ago resurfacing online.

Samsung Announces The Galaxy Tab S In 8.4″ And 10.5″ Flavors, Complete With 2560×1600 Super AMOLED Screens [Update: Pricing]
The casual observer might think that Samsung has too many Android tablets. Between the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (from 2013, of course), no less than four versions of Tab and Note Pros, and the fourth generation of low-end Galaxy Tab hardware, the casual observer is right.
