Conventional wisdom holds that Spitzer’s latest salvo against former New York Stock Exchange chairman Richard Grasso–to recoup a chunk of Grasso’s disputed $139.5 million pay package-will earn him even more points. “The public is irate over excessive compensation,” says Jacob Zamansky, a lawyer who represents investors. But conventional wisdom may be wrong. Grasso has launched a spirited attack on Spitzer’s motives, portraying himself as a victim of an ambitious pol....
According to Verizon, personal data was involved in roughly half (58 percent) of cybersecurity breaches last year. Well, if early 2021 is an indication of what’s to come, this year isn’t going to see much better. Yet another major social media platform has had a chunk of its userbase compromised. Hacker Wants Four Figures for a Database of 500 Million LinkedIn Users On April 6, Cybernews reported that an archive containing user data scraped from 500 million LinkedIn profiles had been posted to unnamed “popular hacking forum....
Because I was one of four journalists who’d been given a pre-release iPhone for review, Fox News asked me to do an on-location interview. But as soon as I saw the swarming crowds of rabid fan boys and girls, it was clear that even a glimpse of the thing would set off a near riot. When the interview began, the crowd smelled iPhone, and ominously closed in. Suddenly a young man swooped behind us and made a grab—not for the iPhone, it turned out, but for the interviewer’s microphone....
Researchers at MIT have designed a modular chip that uses flashes of light to convey information between its components. One of the design goals of the chip is to enable people to swap in new or improved functionality instead of replacing the whole chip, in essence paving the way for perpetually upgradeable devices. “The general direction of reusing hardware is a blessed one,” Dr. Eyal Cohen, CEO and co-founder of CogniFiber, told Lifewire over email....
Trinidad’s euphoria was short-lived. Hospital officials told her that her doctor holds a financial stake in the clinic to which he had referred her. Worse, that facility had no on-site radiologist reading X-rays. Trinidad now believes she was sent to an inferior clinic and put through a terrifying ordeal just to line her physicians pockets. “If you can’t trust the doctor who sees the most private parts of your body,” she wonders, “who can you trust?...
The hilarity is surprising because it arises, unforced, out of the blackest nine months of her life. First her brother Mike was diagnosed with Stage 3 lymphatic cancer, and moved in with her. They were soon joined by her parents, a well-meaning couple who drive their daughter batty. Then Sweeney is herself diagnosed with a rare form of cervical cancer. Neither angry nor maudlin, Sweeney guides us with sweet, sane, unactressy honesty through her sojourn in the ““International House of Cancer....
There’s also a school of thought which says that the entire cricketing calendar needs to re-looked as the players are over-worked with matches taking place every other day. Prima-facie the argument of more matches being played these days looks acceptable. But taking a deeper statistics backed analysis gives a different perspective. Also see - India Australia schedule While the number of formats have increased, but has it actually added to the number of playing days?...
RELATED: Stray: Every Badge (& Where to Find Them) As well as a host of main story missions, the Slums is also home to a wide array of side activities, including multiple memories and a couple of badges too. Thankfully, these side quests don’t need to be completed until the beginning of Stray’s eighth chapter, so players can either chip away at them gradually or save them until the very last minute....

Are we talking Spenser here? Not yet – we’ll get to his latest title later. For now, consider the exploits of John Cuddy, an ex-army MP turned insurance-company detective turned P.I. Through eight books, Jeremiah Healy, a law professor who writes splendid plot lines, has developed his own version of the lone American hero. Cuddy has battled rogue Vietnamese and their army confederates (“Staked Goat”), rescued a poor black college boy accused of murdering his well-to-do white girlfriend (“So Like Sleep”), even helped the Boston mob track down a killer who was too close to home (“Shallow Graves”)....
Scientists generally agree that HIV-1, which most closely resembles a virus found in chimpanzees, jumped from chimp to human–probably as hunters slaughtered the animals for meat. But Hooper outlines how chimp tissue might have wound up in labs where the experimental polio vaccine was prepared. The theory is based in part on anecdotal recollections that chimp kidneys were sent to Philadelphia’s Wistar Institute, where the vaccine was developed. Lab records are scant or missing, but Dr....
Given the hype, we can only hope that the day isn’t too far away when we will get to see Apple unveiling the new iPhone to the world. We’ve heard that the iPhone 5S could be fitted with a 12 MP rear camera and possibly a 2 MP one in the front. This means that users could possibly record full HD videos using the front-facing camera as well. But like the Galaxy S4, it would be nice to use the iPhone 5S to use both cameras at once for clicking pictures too....
Heading into this season, the weight doesn’t seem so heavy anymore. Hirscher earned that Olympic gold last February — two, actually — and the burden to win an eighth straight overall title has been mitigated by recently becoming a father. That’s changed his entire outlook, even to the point where the 29-year-old vows to take a hard look at his future on the slopes once the season concludes. Then again, he’s hinted at stepping away before....
Feinstein, 88, was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992 and is the oldest sitting lawmaker in the chamber. Recently, Feinstein has been at the center of speculation about whether she will retire as reports detail how those around her are allegedly worried about her cognitive health. Those concerns were amplified in a new report from the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday. The article cited four unnamed senators and three former Feinstein staffers who told the newspaper that “her memory is rapidly deteriorating....
Well, of course not. It’s just that–if you’re a European–there are times when it seems like that, and last week was one of those times. Not only was Ashby acquitted; Walter LaGrand, a German citizen convicted of a 1982 murder, was executed in Arizona, and Washington announced that it intended to slap steep tariffs on a range of European imports in retaliation for tardiness in resolving a dispute over the import of bananas into the European Union....
But Would You Buy One? That’s according to Ming-Chi Kuo, the most reliable Apple analyst at TF International Securities, a financial services group in the Asia-Pacific region. In his new research note to clients, seen by MacRumors, the revered analyst expands on his earlier assessment regarding Apple’s foldable iPhone plans. For context, most current folding phones are between six and eight inches when unfolded. Don’t get your hopes up too high—Kuo’s note suggests the device is currently in the research and development phase....
It must have stung. After all, Katzenberg reinvented Disney, not only with animated wizardry but live-action winners like “Pretty Woman.” Now, while Hollywood celebrates a record-breaking summer with such blockbusters as Universal’s “Jurassic Park” and Warner Bros.’s “The Fugitive” (generating $326 million and $166 million at the box office, respectively), Disney has fallen off the charts. its biggest moneymaker in 1993 so far has been the year-old “Aladdin.” Farther from home, the huge Euro Disney park outside Paris is hemorrhaging money....
