Under Armour's bet on Stephen Curry has proved to be a genius one.

Curry is the reigning MVP on the NBA's best team, the Golden State Warriors, he's the new face of the league, and, according to a Morgan Stanley analyst, worth perhaps $14 billion to Under Armour.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals doubled the price of a drug called Seconal, which helps terminally ill patients end their lives peacefully, according to a report from KQED News.

Valeant purchased the drug last February, and jacked up the price from $1,500 to $3,000 after the state of California proposed legalizing assisted suicide.

The law passed, and there are no generic competitors in the market, so patients will have to pay Valeant's hefty bill, KQED's April Dembosky reports. Читать дальше...

Apple hasn't been able to build the all the data centers it needs to run these enormous photo storage and internet services on its own.

And it worries that some of the equipment and cloud services it buys has been compromised by vendors who have agreed to put "back door" technology for government spying, according to a report from The Information's Amir Efrati and Steve Nellis. Читать дальше...

Barack Obama should visit Hiroshima when Japan hosts the G7 leaders’ summit in May to see for himself the human misery inflicted by nuclear weapons, according to a survivor of the atomic bombing of the city 70 years ago.

“I hope Obama and other G7 leaders come here and change their minds about possessing nuclear weapons,” said Keiko Ogura, who was an eight-year-old schoolgirl when the bomb flattened her hometown on the morning of 6 August 1945, killing 140,000 people.

If you ask someone to name the biggest moment in hip-hop this year, they’ll likely point to the ghostwriting beef between Drake and Meek Mill. I disagree. The biggest moment in hip-hop this year was when a photo of Malia Obama sporting a Pro Era shirt hit the internet, and everyone lost their minds (and the First Daughter lost her social-media privileges) because a group of 20-something-year-old...

On Wednesday, Microsoft launched a new artificial intelligence chatbot, named Tay, created to "conduct research on conversational understanding" of young people online.

"Game of Thrones" fans will witness new levels of crazy when Cersei (Lena Headey) and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) reunite on the upcoming season six.

The pair have been separated for a while. When we last saw her, Cersei was punished by the religious clergy aka the Faith Militant whose influence has taken over Casterly Rock. After being forced to do a walk of shame for admitting to adultery (but not to the incest with Jaime), Cersei was released to her family.

But they didn't go too far — in 1982, the couple bought an affordable house on Staten Island, though they didn't know much about the borough.

"We had taken the ferry ride multiple times on hot summer days while living in Manhattan, but never got off," Osinski told Business Insider. Читать дальше...
