A record 450,000 condoms will be distributed to athletes in the Olympic Village at this year's Rio games, the Associated Press reports. That's about 42 condoms per athlete. 

Part of the reason for the increase is that — for the first time — 100,000 female condoms will be distributed, in addition to 350,000 male condoms. Officials also said that 175,000 packets of lubricant will be made available, too. The condoms will be distributed both at a clinic in Athletes'... Читать дальше...

Donald Trump has been hammering home a new insult aimed at Bernie Sanders — and it centers on one word:

"Exhausted."

Trump has posted four tweets since Sunday describing the Vermont senator as "exhausted."

The tweets began after the release of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee showed the organization to be in apparent favor of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary — while, at times, mocking Sanders and his supporters. Читать дальше...

Apple just announced its Q3 earnings, slightly beating Wall Street's expectations for its earnings per share. 

It also beat expectations for the number of iPhones it would selling, hitting 40.4 million units, versus the 39.9 million that analysts were expecting. 

But that numbers is still down year-over year. In Q3 2015 Apple sold 47.5 million units.

This is only the second time in Apple's history that it's seen a decline in iPhone sales. The first time happened last quarter. Читать дальше...

The Late Late Show with James Corden

Here's a crazy one: 

Why is Apple making two reality TV shows?

The answer: To make you want to buy more stuff.

On Tuesday, Apple said it'll adapt "Carpool Karoake," the popular celebrity-filled lip syncing segment from James Corden's "Late Late Show" on CBS, into its own spinoff  series. (Corden won't host.)

And earlier this month, Apple said it's making a reality show that chronicles app developers in their quest to build the next megahit for the iPhone. Читать дальше...

The popular "Carpool Karaoke" series has a new owner — but not everyone is happy about it.

Buffalo Wild Wings on Tuesday reported second-quarter results that topped analysts' forecasts for profits, but missed on revenue.

The chicken chain reported revenue of $490.2 million, up 15% year-on-year.

You know what boat shoes are. They're inescapable in the summer across America, from cities to college campuses and everywhere in between.

The soft leather moccasin-toed loafer-style shoe has made an indelible mark on American style, whether you like them or not. It seems hard to believe, but it wasn't always this way. There was a time when boat shoes hadn't taken over the feet of young men like an invasive species.

Like their name implies, boat shoes were first created for sailors. Читать дальше...

When Levi Joseph scored a manufacturing internship in Seattle for his last summer before graduating college, he waited a little too long to scope out a place to stay.

A friend in the area had a spare room ... but not until July, leaving Joseph without housing for 40 days.

Limited to options costing over $1,000 a month — beyond his budget — the 22-year-old decided he'd book a space in a campsite through Airbnb for about $600 and live in his Subaru Outback through the month of June. Читать дальше...

Apple stock is up 4.5% after the company reported earnings per share higher than what Wall Street was expecting. 

Revenue was directly in line with Apple's own guidance. 

Apple's most surprising beat was in iPads, in which it sold nearly 1 million more units than what analysts had predicted. 

But its gross margin missed after its low-cost $400 iPhone proved more popular than had been expected.

Here is what Apple reported versus analyst expectations. Читать дальше...
