When Orange is the New Black returns, viewers will be seeing even more of Poussey Washington, played by Samira Wiley.

 

For the prison dramedy?s third season, Wiley will be promoted to series regular, EW has confirmed. Wiley has appeared on nearly every episode of the show so far ? and fan-favorite Poussey has had an expanded role in season 2.
 
This means viewers will get more of Taystee and Poussey together, right?

Mary Steenburgen is going to serve time on Orange is the New Black Season 3, Mashable confirms.

 
Steenburgen, whose most recent TV gigs included parts on Justified and Wilfred, broke the news on Twitter but failed to clarify whether she'd actually be serving time as an inmate, only teasing coyly, "Will I be in orange or black?"

Warden?

Maybe she'll be the new deputy warden.

That might make an interesting storyarc: a fight between her and Caputo for the job. Maybe she's hired an an auditor of the prison or someone to clean up the mess from this seasons finale. She'll certainly have her work cut out for her!

Yael Stone Upped To Regular On ?Orange?

Another heavily recurring on Netflix?s Orange Is the New Black lady has been promoted to regular for Season 3. Yael Stone, who has appeared in virtually every episode of the prison dramedy, will continue to play the chipper, optimistic and psychotic inmate Lorna Morello. She is repped by  Gersh, Andy Corren and Shanahan in Australia.
 

So when they are promoted to series regulars, their name appears in the opening credits?

Pretty sure it means more than just that. They may already appear in the opening credits as guests, but a season regular would indicate that they'll have more screen time.

I figure it meant they got more screen time (and more money).  Most of the actors that's been promoted to series regulars for season 3 already have a lot of screen time though.  I mean their names will appear during the theme song.  I don't see how they will all fit, unless they are bumping some past regulars to special guest stars.

Mary Steenburgen Joins 'Orange Is the New Black' Season 3

Now, it?s time to find out which character will get to call her ?mom.?

Ready? Drumroll please?

It?s Pornstache!

Yes, Steenburgen has been given the unfortunate task of loving one of the Netflix comedy?s least lovable characters, TVLine has learned exclusively. But hey, isn?t that what moms are for?

Netflix Calls '######' on 'Orange Is the New Black' Cancellation Rumors

 

In a world where readers sometimes only scan the headlines to get their news, an Orange Is the New Black hoax posted on a satirical news site fooled many fans of the Netflix series.

 
The satirical story, which went up on Friday and eventually turned into a social media rumor, claimed Netflix had canceled the production of Season 3 and planned to remove the first two seasons because of the lack of male leads on the show.
 
Fed up with the rumors, Netflix responded in the best way possible online, stealing the memorable "######" line from OITNB's Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson. Even one of the show's actors, Michael Harney (who plays Sam Healy in the show), chimed in.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.
    • These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
