It had better be. As companies rush to converge the Internet with anything electrically powered–cell phones, TVs, videogame consoles, refrigerators–Microsoft needs to make sure it remains viable in what many refer to as the post-PC future. That’s why Microsoft president Steve Ballmer chose to personally unveil the company’s latest effort, dubbed the Pocket PC, at New York’s Grand Central Terminal last week. “For the last 25 years,” he said, “we talked about putting a computer on every desk and in every home....

The 47 songs here represent all phases of his career, from his time with the folk/rock band Fairport Convention, through his partnership with his now ex-wife Linda and his subsequent life as a soloist. They come in a variety of styles, from love songs to fiddle tunes to foursquare rockers. Sometimes there’s just Thompson and his acoustic guitar. Sometimes there’s a rock band, or a band with concertina, or an oompah brass band, or instruments from Japan....

A Plague Tale: Innocence was praised upon release for its impactful story and stealth-based gameplay. The title was so well received by players that it ended up being an unlikely throw-in for Game of the Year back in 2019. The game is still well thought of, so much so that developer Asobo Studio decided to give A Plague Tale: Innocence the next-gen treatment last year. This continuing success has led the story of Amicia and Hugo to the TV screen in the form of an adaptation....

Foremost among them is the record for most weeks as World No. 1, which currently belongs to Roger Federer at 310 weeks. At the time of writing Novak Djokovic is just 18 weeks shy of that mark, having spent 292 weeks on the ATP throne. In terms of Grand Slams, Novak Djokovic is also close to the record tally of 20 held by both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal....

The Velázquez affair is just one symptom of the cancer eating away at Chávez’s so-called Bolivarian Revolution. The Venezuelan leader, who turns 52 later this month, swept to power in the 1998 presidential election on an anti-graft platform. But in the intervening years, the soaring price of oil has flooded government coffers with petrodollars and fanned the same endemic corruption that thoroughly discredited Venezuela’s two major political parties in the 1990s....

In Jharel Cotton, Grant Holmes and Frankie Montas, Oakland has added impact talent. Whether it pans out remains to be seen, of course, but it’s possible that with one move, the A’s have put down a major piece of foundation for a good run of contending again. Montas, who previously has been part of trades involving Jake Peavy and Todd Frazier, has been limited this year by injuries, pitching in only seven games – three in Double-A, four in Triple-A, where he has 15 strikeouts in 11....

Despite the critical acclaim and resounding praise from fans, Bloodborne has not been playable for everyone who has wanted to. Bloodborne released in 2015 for the PS4, and was eventually brought to PlayStation Now, Sony’s game streaming service, but has yet to be officially released on any other platform or console. Although the game is technically playable on PC through PlayStation Now, for years now, fans have been calling for an offiicial PC release of the game....

Luke Walton has since departed as head coach, while Magic Johnson also opted to stand down on the final night of the regular season. With James also turning 35 before the end of the year, the organization is facing a monumental offseason as they look to give him the tools required to contend. A huge upturn is expected in terms of both departures and arrivals, and as the offseason quickly nears, here are all the latest Lakers rumors you need to know....

Time is running out for Lopez to maintain playoff eligibility as the veteran must agree to a buyout by Friday in order to feature in the 2019 postseason. Evidently, if a buyout is not agreed in the next 48 hours, Lopez is likely to stay with the Bulls, and Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald is reporting that at this point, a buyout ‘seems very unlikely’. In case you didn’t know… Lopez has been a key figure in Chicago since signing with the Bulls back in 2016, and up until this season, Lopez had never slipped out of the teams starting five....

Mientras que el S20 Ultra, del que ya hemos publicado la review completa, incluye una lente periscópica plegada que hace posible que puedas manejar un zoom óptico híbrido de hasta 10x con resultados sorprendentes (y un zoom de hasta 100x), la configuración del S20 y S20+ es un tanto diferente. Las especificaciones ofrecidas por Samsung nos dicen que estos teléfonos están limitados a manejar un zoom óptico híbrido de 3x....

Según un estudio llevado a cabo por Worten, el 53 % de los usuarios considera al cepillo de dientes eléctrico como un electrodoméstico que les facilita enormemente la vida en su día a día, hasta el punto de que uno de cada tres usuarios que lo utiliza no podría prescindir de él y volver al modelo tradicional. Hay que tener en cuenta que existen en el mercado infinidad de cepillos inteligentes, pero muchos de ellos no son inteligentes a pesar de mencionar que son eléctricos, de manera que no disponen de una aplicación dedicada que haga un seguimiento del uso, o del tiempo empleado en el cepillado de cada zona de la boca....

De lo que no solemos hablar es de cómo los videojuegos pueden ayudar a deshacernos de nuestras preocupaciones, algo que está más a la orden del día que nunca. No todos los juegos tratan de disparar y matar, aunque estos pueden ayudarnos también a desfogarnos. Hoy sale a la venta Animal Crossing: New Horizons, un juego de simulación de vida en el que el jugador debe moverse por una isla desierta y convertirla poco a poco en una comunidad mientras construye herramientas, mobiliarios y edificios y habla con otros aldeanos....

In order to truly understand this character and his past, fans have dug into the further works of Tolkien, including The Silmarillion and the Unfinished Tales. But he does (technically) also appear in Tolkien’s most famous work of art: The Hobbit. RELATED: Are Alfrid And Wormtongue Related? Through much of the dwarves quest to reclaim Erebor, Gandalf, who orchestrated the entire journey in the first place is notably absent. The Grey wizard leaves Thorin’s company just after Beorn’s house, at the edge of Mirkwood....

Although the Lord of the Rings books and films are a much loved and still highly regarded trilogy for many wonderful reasons including the comradery between the fellowship, the power of nature over war, and the love of Frodo and Sam which conquers all and allows them to destroy the one ring, there are undeniable elements to Tolkien’s stories that don’t hold up in modern day.

RELATED: Fantasy Tropes That Will Never Get Old The movie version of Arwen gets to ride a horse through the wilds and wield a sword, which Tolkien might deem strange but it’s a fact that ideas about beauty and behavior have changed. There’s a lot of interesting lore about Arwen in the Lord of the Rings universe and her life before she met Aragorn and her time as his Queen, and only the book readers know about it....

In a clip posted to social media by NBC News producer Charlie Gile, the Texas Republican is heard arguing that COVID-19 may have somehow got trapped in his mask and led to him becoming infected with the disease. The congressman also said predictions of his demise after following news of his asymptomatic coronavirus diagnosis were “very premature.” Speaking to the KETK local news station, Gohmert said: “I can’t help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place if I might have put some of the virus onto the mask and breathed it in....

But will they tell? More than two years after Cesaire’s on-air partner, Jean-Claude Olivier, was gunned down and killed leaving a nightclub party, police are still trying to put together a case against the man they say pulled the trigger. A few weeks later, a gunman shooting the same .38-caliber pistol killed Fritz Dor, 33, the host of three pointedly political talk shows broadcast to Miami’s Haitian–exile community. Prosecutors believe the radio hosts were marked because of their passionate commentaries....
