The amount of venture capital lost on personal digital assistants in the early ’90s could fund an entire light-rail system. But the inventors at Palm Computing learned from the glitches of others. Functionality and size won out over gratuitously glitzy features. And instead of teaching the machine to recognize handwriting, the designers gambled that users would be willing to learn the Pilot’s own special shorthand, a simplified alphabet called Graffiti–no dotting the i’s or crossing the t’s....

The announcement arrives along with a reduction to its Bigger Bundle with Sports package, now available for £65 per month instead of £72 per month. The package includes 213Mbps broadband speeds and access to Sky Sports and BT Sports 4K, in a move that will undoubtedly attract Premier League fans. As for service changes, Virgin’s highest tier M500 broadband speed, with average speeds of 516Mbps, is no longer restricted to its Ultimate Oomph bundle....

Game Rant spoke to Love about what it meant for her to work on Get in the Car, Loser!, and what her approach was with a very different genre — RPGs. Love revealed how challenging it was to adapt to brand-new systems, and how rewarding it was to make something that works well when it comes to telling an engaging story and making players get through tough encounters. Love also discussed the game’s DLC now available on PC, and what her future plans are....

In fact, it’s not even available on Mac anymore. With the release of macOS Catalina back in 2019, Apple officially shuttered iTunes on Mac, releasing standalone Music, Podcast and TV apps to replace the streaming functionality, and the company built iTunes sync functionality directly into the Finder app. Nothing changed on the Windows front, but it was only a matter of time before iTunes for PC got the same treatment....

The 2022 NFL regular season heads into its final Sunday with 14 games on the docket and the final playoff spot in each conference hanging in the balance. The Green Bay Packers (NFC) and New England Patriots (AFC) face win-and-in scenarios, while the Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins, and Pittsburgh Steelers all need to win and get varying degrees of help. With more than half the league eliminated from playoff contention and others likely to rest starters, some of the Week 18 NFL odds look puzzling....

‘Superfly’ Jimmy Snuka dies Wrestling legend Jimmy Snuka passed away on Sunday at the age of 73 after battling stomach cancer. During the height of his career, “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka was one of the top stars of the WWE during the 1980’s. Many remember his crowd-pleasing, dazzling dives off the top rope and even off the top of cages. A feud with “Rowdy” Roddy Piper would provide one of the most notable memories of his career when Piper hit him over the head with a coconut while insulting his South Pacific heritage....

‘This is Your Life’ bombs Try as she did, even Alexa Bliss could not save the hideous “This is Your Life” segment on “Raw” as she took Bayley on a trip down memory lane with lame jokes and bad acting. The segment worked in 1999 when it featured Mick Foley and The Rock who turned it into one of the highest-rated segments in the show’s history. But that was nearly 20 years ago using two of the best talkers in wrestling history with an original segment and better writing....

Sammy was a healthy infant in 1996, when Liz and her husband scraped together the down payment on a rambling Victorian house in the Smith Hill section of Providence, R.I. The place needed work, and the $42,000 purchase price was a stretch for the young working-class couple. But they took the leap, figuring they could spend the rest of their lives restoring it. Four months later Sammy’s pediatrician detected an unusual concentration of lead in his blood, and a follow-up test yielded a reading of 56 micrograms per deciliter–more than five times the official hazard level....

Negotiations between the Getty and the Italians over the return of certain artworks stalled last November but were jump-started last month, when Italy issued a threat to sever all cultural ties with the Getty unless they came to terms by Aug. 1. (As the Los Angeles Times pointed out, this could have hurt the Italians more than the Malibu museum, as the Getty foundation gives hefty grants to Italian cultural causes and cooperates in scholarship and conservation....

The British socialite was Jeffrey Epstein’s former lover and is accused of having groomed underage girls for him to abuse. The U.S. District Court is preparing to pick a jury but Maxwell’s legal team has requested secrecy on the basis of what it described as “intense negative media coverage.” They argued that an unusually careful selection process will be necessary to find jurors who have not already made up their minds about her....

The state’s Department of Public Health said in a statement on Friday that the authorized boosters will be offered pending guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine boosters. People who received both doses of the Moderna vaccine or the single Johnson & Johnson dose can choose which vaccine they would like to receive as a booster dose....

The Bulldogs (6-0, 3-0 in SEC) are in control of the SEC East and are looking to defend last year’s conference championship, but they’ll be making their first trip to Death Valley since 2008. Kirby Smart has a balanced team led by sophomore quarterback Jake Fromm. LSU (5-1, 2-1) is coming off a loss at Florida, and this is the first of three home games that will define Ed Orgeron’s second full season as head coach....

Aside from being great with families, they are also favored by the military and make fantastic protective dogs. The large animal, also known as an Alsatian, even reached national hero status when they were used to search for and rescue people in the ruins of the World Trade Center in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Therefore, when one German Shephard saw his owner appearing to be attacked by a vacuum cleaner, the pet of course decided to step in....

Despite staying at the helm for their run to the last 16 of Euro 2020, Low’s position had clearly run its course, and the German Football Federation, the DFB, freshened things up by bringing in Hansi Flick following that tournament. The former Bayern Munich coach has lost just one game since replacing Low, and he will be confident of repairing some of the damage of four years ago in Qatar....

“SummerSlam” card coming together Following a sub-par “Battleground” event this past Sunday, WWE now moves towards its second-biggest event of the year, “SummerSlam," which takes places on Aug. 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. “Raw” kicked off on Monday setting up the main event for the show, a Fatal 4-Way with Brock Lesnar defending his WWE Universal Championship against Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe.
