‘Jeopardy!’ contestant tricks Alex Trebek into saying ‘Turd Ferguson’
A Jeopardy! contestant this week hilariously tricked Alex Trebek into saying the name ‘Turd Ferguson’ on the air during the show’s Final Jeopardy round.
Here’s how it all went down.
Going into the final round, a contestant named Talia was in third place with just $600 to her name. The other contestants, meanwhile, were sitting pretty with respective winnings of $12,600 and $7,600. With no real chance to emerge victorious, Talia decided she might as well have a little bit of fun instead of actually trying to answer the question.

Watch: Brand new trailer for Aaron Sorkin’s Steve Jobs movie
With a few weeks to go before the Aaron Sorkin penned Steve Jobs biopic hits the big screen, Universal Pictures earlier today released the second official trailer for the highly anticipated film about the Apple co-founder.
Notably, the film, naturally titled Steve Jobs, won’t be a traditional cradle to grave type of biopic. Instead, Sorkin, who knows a thing or two about storytelling, has crafted a film that will mostly focus on three of Jobs’ biggest product announcements, including the original Macintosh. Based on what we’ve seen so far in the two released trailers, the film will also touch a bit on how Jobs’ personal life helped shape his professional life and vice versa.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella just used an ‘iPhone Pro’ to demo Outlook
When Apple introduced the iPad Pro last week, it called up two of its oldest rivals to help sell the device: Adobe and Microsoft. For many, this was quite a sight to behold. For years, Apple and Adobe engaged in a bitter war of words over the former’s reluctance to support flash on iOS devices. As for Apple and Microsoft? Well, their decades-old rivalry certainly needs no introduction.
So when both companies took the stage at Apple’s special event last week to sing the praises of Apple’s upcoming new tablet, it was a funny reminder of how quickly the technological landscape can change.
