The Golden State Warriors' point guard earned the most valuable player award and the NBA championship last season, and this year he and the Warriors are doing even better. Curry — standing 6 feet 3 inches — has become the new face of the NBA thanks to his devastating jump shot, un-guardable crossover, and killer dance moves.

Most recently, Curry helped launch Degree Deodorant's MotionSense Lab... Читать дальше...

Facebook's messaging app let's you do more than just chat with your friends. You can trade GIFs, stickers, and photos. But most people don't know that you can also play chess.

Messenger has a built-in chess feature that lets you play with your friends without having to install a third-party app. It's a secret feature, and it's still a little clunky, but it works.

I've played my friend Daniel on Chess.com before (he's won every time), so I figured he'd be down for a game on Messenger. Читать дальше...

The Super Bowl is just around the corner and you know what that means: beers, junk food, and ... babies? 

According to a new ad from the NFL, cities where the home team wins the Super Bowl see a spike in births nine months following the sporting event. In honor of this, the NFL rounded up a whole bunch of Super Bowl babies, both old and young, for a hilarious new music video. 

The video parodies Seal's "Kiss from a Rose," with lyrics like "we're all babies," standing in for Seal's iconic "baby," in the chorus. Читать дальше...

A Reddit user is gradually uploading the 5,000-page court case file of Steven Avery, and his digital haul now includes 14 crucial documents submitted by the FBI during Avery's murder trial in 2007.

The FBI's reports — some 700 pages in total — are critical because they might have turned jurors against Avery "and maybe not fairly," Dean Strang, one of Avery's defense lawyers during his trial, told The Daily Beast in January.

Moonshots are not cheap.

Google parent-company Alphabet lost $3.6 billion on moonshot projects in 2015.

The so-called "Other Bets," which includes everything from self-driving cars to internet beaming high-altitude balloons, generated $448 million in the 2015, compared to $327 million in the previous year.

Much of the reported revenue likely comes from Google's high-speed broadband Fiber business and smart home appliances business Nest, as most of the moonshot... Читать дальше...

Super PAC financial disclosures are out, and donations to the group backing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), the Right to Rise PAC, have fallen off a cliff.

From July 2015 to the end of the year, the PAC added about $15 million to its near-$120 million war chest.

That paled in comparison to the more-than $100 million raised in the first half of 2015. And $10 million of the second half of the year's haul came from a single donor, former AIG CEO Hank Greenberg. Читать дальше...

Cost-conscious singles don’t experience the same financial benefits as their coupled counterparts — they don't have a partner with whom to split major bills, and they don't get to enjoy the dual income.

A 2013 analysis by Lisa Arnold and Christina Campbell of Onely.org found that legal and private sector policies ranging from Social Security to health care can drive up the cost of being unmarried to more than $1 million over the course of a lifetime.
