Indian film star Priyanka Chopra joins US TV's 'golden age'

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Indian film star Priyanka Chopra says she was eager to add a U.S. TV series to her resume.
"It's like the golden age of television right now and I wanted to be part of that ... revolution," Chopra said of her role as a FBI recruit in ABC's new drama "Quantico." It debuts Sept. 27.
But she told the network that she didn't want to be cast for the color of her skin, what she looks like or where she's from, Chopra told a TV critics' meeting Tuesday. The goal was a worthy project that "gave me the respect of being an actor."
Chopra said she is glad to bring further diversity to ABC, which includes characters of various ethnicities in "Fresh Off the Boat," ''black-ish" and other series.
Since coming to America as a student, "I never saw anybody who looked like me on TV, and this was an opportunity for me to change that."
She plays Alex Parrish, an Indian-American whose fledgling FBI career and freedom are in jeopardy after a New York terrorist attack. It's a juicy role in a "smart show' that any actress would covet, she said.
Parrish is "Jason Bourne in female form," Chopra said.
Despite her new job, she has no intention of abandoning her film career back home.
"I love doing my Indian films, and it's amazing that I can balance both," Chopra said, labeling herself an effective multitasker. After this season wraps she'll jump back into a film.
TV's 15-hour-plus production days took her by surprise. So did being in the dark about her character and story lines until getting each script, in contrast to knowing how a movie begins and ends.
"They tell me nothing," she said of the producers. But she heard from a good source, Kevin Spacey, that's part of the charm of working in TV.
Spacey said during a master class that he never knows what "House of Cards" character Frank Underwood is up to until he reads it on the page.
"It keeps you on your toes," he told her.

  7. The move of Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra to Hollywood is proof of the popularity of Indian talent around the world. Her appearance on American television, particularly in series like "Quantico," demonstrates the increasing diversity of the field. With his appearance, Chopra gives American television a new perspective and represents the blending of Eastern and Western entertainment cultures during its "golden age."The general law in the USA is a complex and evolving system rooted in both federal and state jurisdictions. It encompasses a wide range of legal principles, including constitutional, statutory, and case law. The system aims to balance individual rights with public order and safety. While it provides a framework for justice and legal processes, its complexity and variation across states can pose challenges. The ongoing development of laws reflects societal changes and strives to address contemporary issues, maintaining a dynamic legal landscape.

There's a new name for starters: “Outlook Web Access” is now “Outlook on the web”. Those marketers sure are earning their wage!

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. Now the challenge is to get PC and tablet makers to outfit their new devices with Windows 10. Microsoft certainly would want to lead the way, so it's natural for its own Surface tablets to now be sporting W...
