CLEVELAND — House Speaker Paul Ryan said Monday morning at a breakfast for the Pennsylvania delegation in Cleveland that Republicans cannot win the election by simply bashing President Barack Obama. They must provide an alternative plan, he said, touting his policy proposals.

But at the first night of Donald Trump's Republican National Convention — that message wasn't exactly heeded.

Melania: From a young age my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life... Читать дальше...

In 2008, short of sending a suitcase full of cash, there was essentially just one way for an individual to send money between, say, the United States and Europe.

You had to wire the money through a mainstream financial service, like Western Union or a bank. That meant paying high fees and waiting up to several days for the money to arrive.

A radically new option arose in 2009 with the introduction of bitcoin. Bitcoin makes it possible to transfer value between... Читать дальше...

Michael Jackson or Donald Trump?

The Manhattan billionaire's grand entrance to the GOP convention in Cleveland seemed more fitting for a rock star than a major party's presidential nominee.

Google's Android operating system has long suffered from a problem called "fragmentation."

Unlike with the Apple iPhone, it's up to smartphone manufacturers, not Google, to push out updates to customers. So there's no guarantee that any given phone will get the operating system upgrades.

There's also a ton of different hardware, some of which does a better job supporting certain features. Contrast this with Apple's very few different hardware choices. Читать дальше...
