The NFL owners voted on Tuesday night to approve the move of the St. Louis Rams to Los Angeles, ending a 21-year drought for the NFL in the second-largest television market.

Still up in the air is the future of the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders. The Chargers' future seems a little more clear-cut. The Chargers have two months to decide whether they want to move to Los Angeles for the 2016 season and one year to decide whether they will move there at all.

Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother. Many, if not most, legal experts believe that is enough to qualify as a "natural-born" US citizen under the Constitution... Читать дальше...

In the latest issue of The Harvard Business Review, a team of researchers argue that a steady increase in collaborative work is undermining organizations' performance.

Across industries, they say, the most knowledgeable and helpful employees are barraged by requests from coworkers throughout the company until eventually they burn out and quit.

It's a sort of "success syndrome," the researchers say — the more valuable you are to the company, the more demands get placed on you. Читать дальше...

But, that quality and luxury comes at an incredibly hefty price tag: $55,000.

Google democratized information, Uber democratized car rides, and Twitter democratized publishing a single sentence.

But to the World Bank, the powerful Washington-based organisation that lends money to developing countries, Silicon Valley’s technology firms appear to be exacerbating economic inequality rather than improving it.

The way viewers are watching TV is rapidly evolving.  

Every year, more viewers are ditching their expensive pay-TV subscriptions and opting instead for subscription video on-demand (SVOD) services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video, as well as premium services from HBO and Showtime.
