It wasn’t just the elevated strike outs in 2016 or even the 29.2% hard hit rate last year.

I am eager to shower love and devotion on this exciting new player who has joined my old favorites like Edgar Martinez and Jay Buhner. Читать дальше...

Seattle plays their Eastern Conference clones. How do you defeat yourself?!

Lenovo’s new Mirage Solo with Google Daydream separates “good” VR from a glorified View-Master experience because of one thing: the ability to move.

It's pretty clear now that it's an oversimplification, and there's a strong case to be made that thinking this way is downright dangerous.

That doesn't mean we let services like Facebook off the hook, but we should be cognizant... Читать дальше...
