Donald Trump went off the rails during a Friday rally in North Carolina, launching into a vicious tirade in an attempt to discredit the growing list of women accusing him of unwanted sexual advances.

During the lengthy outburst, Trump aimed to discredit the score of women making claims against him as seeking out "free fame," asked his supporters to "look" at two of the women to know their stories are untrue, and asked why President Barack Obama hasn't had similar claims levied against him.

Apple has been quietly removing security tethers that keep display iPhones from being stolen from its stores, which could make it a little easier for thieves to walk out with them in their pocket.

Though apparently, Apple isn't all that worried about it.

Not everybody is a people person.

If this sounds like you, your best approach for finding a job could be searching for work where people skills aren't all that necessary.

To find these jobs, we averaged data from the Occupational Information Network, or O*NET, a US Department of Labor database full of detailed information on 974 occupations.

O*NET rates each occupation on a scale from zero to 100 on how much a job requires workers to be in contact with others and... Читать дальше...

Now even "Arrested Development" has jumped into the media circus surrounding Donald Trump and the impending presidential election.

Well, sort of. A fan of the show actually cut together a video that uses Ron Howard's voiceover from the sitcom and its title cards to help fact-check what Trump said in the first presidential debate with Hillary Clinton. The mashup is called "Trump-rested Development."

After Trump says he did a "good job" getting President Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate... Читать дальше...

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday called her criticism of National Football League player Colin Kaepernick "inappropriately dismissive and harsh" and said she should not have commented on his protest against racism and police brutality in the United States.

Ginsburg, the court's senior liberal justice, told Yahoo News on Monday that Kaepernick was "dumb and disrespectful" for refusing to stand during the national anthem before games.

The Internet of Things (IoT) will fundamentally change all industries, from agriculture to transportation to healthcare. In the next few decades, nearly everything in our world will become connected.

But with that increased connectivity comes several concerns. For example, the IoT will generate immense amounts of data, which will put pressure on the Internet and force us to come up with more efficient ways to transmit and store this data.

Perhaps chief among these concerns... Читать дальше...

Entrepreneurship isn't easy. It's risky, it's stressful and the success rate for new businesses really isn’t all that encouraging. So, why do people become entrepreneurs?

Usually, it's because we find that simply working a job just isn't enough. We need to challenge ourselves, to test our ideas and to take control. Working for someone else just can’t satisfy that kind of personal drive.
