Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump joked during a Saturday campaign rally that he could shoot someone without losing any votes.

"They say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that?" Trump said to his supporters in Sioux Center, Iowa.

He continued: "Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody. And I wouldn't lose any voters, OK? It's like incredible."

A Trump campaign volunteer told ABC News that Trump's point was clear... Читать дальше...

For years, superfans of Quentin Tarantino have put all of his work under a microscope and come to the theory that his films exist within the same world.

And it turns out they're right.

From Uma Thurman's character in "Pulp Fiction," Mia Wallace, explaining the plot of "Fox Force Five" (which is essentially the same as "Kill Bill") to characters in different films being related (like Vic Vega in "Reservoir Dogs" and Vincent Vega in "Pulp Fiction") the connections among Tarantino films are deep.

Megapixels don't matter anymore.

But to look at most phone or camera ads you'd think they're the most important stat in the world.

A megapixel is a measure of resolution: 1 million pixels. Pretty much every camera on the market today has several times that. If you're reading this on an HD screen, you're seeing about 2 megapixels. If you're reading this on a top-of-the-line 4k screen, you're seeing a little more than 8 megapixels.

It only takes about 7 megapixels to print a nice big photo for your mantle. Читать дальше...

When you hear someone using grammar incorrectly do you make an assumption about his or her intelligence or education?

There's no doubt that words are powerful things that can leave a lasting impression on those with whom you interact.

In fact, saying an idiom incorrectly or screwing up your grammar is akin to walking into a meeting with messy hair.

That's according to Byron Reese CEO of the venture-backed Internet startup Knowingly, which recently launched Correctica... Читать дальше...

Cord

On Wednesday, Spotify announced it had acquired both New York City-based startup Cord Project and Dublin-based music discovery startup Soundwave.

In its announcement of the two new purchases, Spotify stayed vague, only saying it would use the companies it acquired to build "engaging and innovative music experiences."

The Cord Project will be shutting down its main service, which lets anyone send 12-second voice messages to one person or several people at a time. (Soundwave... Читать дальше...

In 2007, BI Video Producer Eames Yates interviewed His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Washington, D.C. and asked him what the greatest threats to the world are. With all the turmoil the world faces in 2016, His Holiness the Dalai Lama's responses remain relevant.

Fixed income, currencies, and commodities trading businesses have been a horror show for Wall Street banks.

Goldman Sachs, however, has stayed the course in the business, largely maintaining its presence as rivals have pulled back. 

On call on Wednesday following the release of the firm's fourth-quarter earnings, Goldman Sachs's CFO Harvey Schwartz laid out the bull case for the business.

ISIS militants once again attacked key oil infrastructure in Libya. The Ras Lanuf port on the Mediterranean Coast, one of Libya’s largest oil export terminals, was the target of yet another attack by ISIS this week.

Earlier this month, ISIS attacked and set fire to seven oil storage tanks at the port. Early reports say that the latest attacks have also resulted in huge plumes of black smoke emanating from the port.

ISIS also targeted oil pipelines that travel from the Amal oilfield to the port of Es Sider... Читать дальше...

I spent the past couple of decades of my career at big companies and am now an entrepreneur.

My team and I are in the midst of building Ellevest, a digital investment platform for women.

As I’ve made my transition, I’ve gotten a lot of advice, all of it well-meaning. And some of it was bad. Some of it really bad. Here’s the worst of it:

"Don’t start Ellevest. You don’t want to limit your business to a niche market." Women? A niche? Seriously?

An implant that delivers a medication continuously for six months could help address some of the toughest challenges with managing drug addiction.

The implants, an inch long and the width of a matchstick, carry a drug called buprenorphine, which scientists hope can help wean people off addiction.

Buprenorphine is an opioid that appears to work by activating the receptors in the brain that respond to opiates like prescription pain medications or heroin. Читать дальше...

Billionaire businessman Donald Trump suggested on Saturday that he would have had "less difficulty" if he had proposed barring Christians from entering the US instead of Muslims.

Last December, the Republican presidential front-runner ignited a national firestorm by proposing to suspend all Muslim immigration and tourist travel into the US.

"If I said that about Christians, and if I said 'banned,' I'm telling you I would have had less difficulty," Trump said Saturday. Читать дальше...

Former police sergeant and cold-case expert John Cameron believes he knows who killed Teresa Halbach — and it isn't "Making a Murderer" subject Steven Avery.

Cameron has a theory outlined on his website, as Uproxx previously reported, that an infamous serial killer named Edward Wayne Edwards, who's known to frame others for his murders, is behind the killing that's at the center of the Netflix docuseries.

And there are certainly some interesting connections. Читать дальше...

It is going to cost owner Stan Kroenke $550 million to move the Rams to Los Angeles, but he has already made back a lot more than that, based on the increased value of the franchise alone.

In a story for the Washington Post, Michael Ozanian of Forbes said the value of the Rams "doubles" now that they are in Los Angeles, which would put their current value at approximately $2.9 billion.

In Forbes' most-recent valuations of NFL teams, the Rams ranked 28th out of the... Читать дальше...

Christopher H. Hendon, a postdoctoral fellow in chemistry at MIT, was sitting in a coffee shop near his graduate school in the UK a few years ago when he overheard a conversation between two frustrated baristas. 

"They were having problems with coffee that tasted good one day and not another," he said. While that's a frustrating mystery for a coffee shop with exacting standards, "from a chemistry point of view, that's an interesting problem."

Salary potential isn't the only factor to consider when narrowing down potential colleges, but with tuition continually on the rise, it's nice to know which schools pay off in the long run.

In a recent report, the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce looked at the four-year colleges whose students go on to earn the highest salaries after graduating. The report used the US Department of Education's College Scorecard to highlight the median earnings... Читать дальше...

If you’ve been the the Philippines, you know about Jollibee.

The burger chain is ubiquitous in the country, where there are 890 locations selling Filipino takes on American classics, like fried chicken, burgers with pineapple rings, and sweet spaghetti topped with ham and sausage.

Millions of Americans awoke Saturday to heavy snow outside their doorsteps as a mammoth winter storm crawled up the East Coast, making roads impassable, shutting down mass transit and bringing the nation's capital and its largest city to a standstill.

After days of weather warnings, most people heeded requests to stay home and off the roads, which were largely deserted. But more was yet to come, with blizzard conditions expected to persist until early Sunday. Читать дальше...

The Cleveland Cavaliers made the shocking move Friday of firing head coach David Blatt.

Despite guiding the Cavaliers to the Finals last year and helping the Cavs build a firm lead for first place in the Eastern Conference this year, the Cavs and Blatt never seemed to have a strong relationship.

Though the timing of the move came as a total surprise, that the Cavs decided to move on from Blatt seemed somewhat inevitable, as multiple reports confirm.
