DEADWOOD'S IAN MCSHANE CAST IN GAME OF THRONES SEASON 6

Game of Thrones has cast Ian McShane in season six of the hit HBO fantasy series.

The network confirmed the Deadwood alum for the upcoming season but did not reveal his role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

McShane, best known for his role as the appropriately named foul-mouthed entrepreneur Al Swearengen in Deadwood, is the first new cast member to be confirmed for Game of Thrones season six.

The actor is currently guest-starring in the third season of Showtime’s Ray Donovan.

Few plot details have been revealed about the upcoming season of Thrones as the show has caught up to the fifth, and most current, book in the series authored by George. R. R. Martin.

The sixth season is currently in production, and Martin has again bowed out from writing any episodes as he’s attempting to finish book six, The Winds of Winter.

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's online page for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3 indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was running on 14 million devices since its official launch the previous day.
