The idea was born over beer in a hotel bar.

It would spark a revolutionary approach to treating cancers, attract tens of millions in investments, and set rival companies on a scientific race. At the center of it all? A tiny garbage truck.

It’s called the proteasome, and its job is to chew up and get rid of your cells’ obsolete and broken proteins.

When biochemists Craig Crews and Raymond Deshaies discussed it over brews at a conference in 1998... Читать дальше...

Lucasfilm

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" not only warmed the hearts of fans and critics alike, for many it was an introduction to acclaimed actor Oscar Isaac, who stars in the film as pilot Poe Dameron.

Isaac's reception following the film's release was enough to earn him the cover of Rolling Stone magazine this month and the title of "the internet's boyfriend." In his interview, the Guatemalan-born actor explained his role in bringing the daring pilot to life.

Donald Trump has reached the phase of his campaign where he tries to solicit huge checks from Wall Street barons.

Coincidentally, Trump says that he will soon release a bank-regulation plan that will come "close to dismantling Dodd-Frank," the 2010 law that imposed new regulations and restrictions on banks. Dodd-Frank is, naturally, much disliked on Wall Street.

"Dodd-Frank has made it impossible for bankers to function," he told Reuters on Tuesday. "It... Читать дальше...

When you slide a juicy slab of ribs or a roast chicken out of the oven, it's tempting to serve and eat right away.

But trained chef Daniel Norton told Tech Insider something every cook should do before the meat hits the table: Let it sit.

Resting meat before you serve it is critical, he says, because heat and juices continue to flow through food even after you take it out of the oven.

Norton works as the culinary manager for Innit, a smart-kitchen... Читать дальше...

Google's Diane Greene

Star Google exec Diane Greene says that it's not winner-take-all as the company races to overtake the leading $7 billion Amazon Web Services cloud computing juggernaut.

"One very pleasant, slightly a surprise [sic], is how much the Fortune 1000 wants to have a Google approach to the cloud," Greene says at this week's Google I/O developer conference. "They want to have two cloud vendors." 

A quick reality check bears Greene out: Companies like Apple and... Читать дальше...

Los Angeles to Catalina Island

We know, we know: California is a road tripper's paradise. But once in a while, it’s a good idea to ditch the wheels in favor of something more off-the-beaten track. Enter Catalina Island, the car-free island off the coast of SoCal. The rocky isle... Читать дальше...

When Denmark introduced negative interest rates in 2012, it was a pioneer. But the policy has become such an accepted part of central banks’ toolbox in the years since that financial pundits hardly batted an eyelash when Hungary became the world’s sixth central bank to introduce negative rates in March 2016. As the practice becomes more widespread, the question of how low interest rates can go has become increasingly relevant for investors.

Aerie

American Eagle's lingerie brand is thriving.

Aerie defied norms in 2014 by abandoning photo retouching of its models.

The idea to use unretouched photos in ad campaigns dawned on the creative team as a way to appeal to young women.

"We definitely had a creative moment where the team got together, and we just said, 'really, what's happening today with millennials and the next generation?'" Aerie's president, Jennifer Foyle, said to Business Insider last summer.... Читать дальше...

Taco Bell

Taco Bell is redesigning its restaurants.

The company is rolling out four different store models — "modern explorer," "California sol," "heritage" and "urban edge" — and they look nothing like the fast-food chain we know.

The new designs are all pretty similar to one another.

They feature open kitchens and lounge seating areas with rustic wood and metal finishes, as well as fancy lighting fixtures and chandeliers that look like they came from Restoration Hardware. Читать дальше...

By Oracle's reckoning, Android has generated $42.35 billion for Google between 2008 and 2015, mostly thanks to selling ads. 

That's what Oracle's expert economist, Dr. Adam Jaffe, testified to in court on Wednesday.

Google doesn't discuss how much money it generates from Android. While we can't say for sure that this ongoing court battle with Oracle is one reason why it keeps it mouth shut, we can say that its silence means Oracle has used its own means to come up with this number. Читать дальше...

Ten years ago, Google first got into the workplace productivity game with the launch of Google Docs and Sheets, its word processor and spreadsheet tools.

Google Apps may be a major rival to Microsoft Office today, but that wasn't the original goal, says Jonathan Rochelle, an 11-year veteran of Google.
