MANCHESTER, N.H., Oct 24 (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton slammed her rival Donald Trump on Monday for saying that the week-old effort to re-take the Iraqi city of Mosul from the control of Islamic State was going badly.

"He's basically declaring defeat before the battle has even started," Clinton said at a campaign event in New Hampshire. "He's proving to the world what it means to have an unqualified commander in chief."

There are few cars that represent middle-class suburbia better than a midsize Volvo station wagon. For decades, the boxy Swedish wagons have offered dependable, no-frills transportation for the masses. But while it's more mundane siblings were on school-run duty, some Volvo wagons have gotten the performance treatment.

Over the past 20 years, Volvo's high-performance wagons have earned the company great critical acclaim. (One was even raced in the British Touring Car Championships.) For its latest hot wagon... Читать дальше...

The U.S. profit recession has been underway for seven consecutive quarters, and while we do not expect earnings growth to turn positive in 3Q, it looks like we are closer to the end of this story than the beginning. However, every silver lining has a touch of grey. The good news: 3Q earnings should show a trend of continued improvement, and earnings growth should gradually turn positive over the next couple of quarters. The bad news: headwinds from low energy prices and a stronger dollar are not yet behind us... Читать дальше...

Somewhere on the Internet there is a photo of me topless. I’m not a celebrity, and this photo was not taken by paparazzi, an ex-boyfriend, or hackers—it was taken by a medical professional. In 2015, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, which was followed by a mastectomy, and then reconstructive surgery. An attendant in the doctor’s office took before and after photos of me for their records, naked from the waist up. I was told that the photos would not include my head... Читать дальше...

Magic Leap, a billion-dollar startup building a pair of AR goggles that combine the real world with computer images, may be the most secretive tech company besides Apple. 

Nobody has ever taken a demo of its technology without signing an NDA first.

In fact, its employees are so paranoid they keep their own notes in code, so that people can't look over their shoulder while they're writing. 

Adrian Kaehler, a former vice president at Magic Leap, is currently suing... Читать дальше...

Suge Knight has filed a lawsuit against Dr. Dre, claiming that Dre hired a hitman in an attempt to murder Knight, TMZ reports.

Knight is the rap mogul who cofounded Death Row Records, which at one time included Dr. Dre on its roster. Knight alleges in the new suit that Dre hired a hitman to kill him because Knight had a lifetime management deal with Dre, which entitled him to 30% of Dre's entertainment earnings.

Knight further claims that Dre ordered... Читать дальше...

Nintendo

Nintendo's new console — once codenamed Nintendo NX, now officially called Nintendo Switch — has a lot riding on its shoulders.

The company's last home console, the Wii U, flopped big-time, and sales for Nintendo's handheld 3DS console, while still respectable, have been declining with each consecutive iteration.

So, when Eurogamer's report that the NX (before we knew it was called Nintendo Switch) would be a sort of fusion between a handheld and a home console, some... Читать дальше...

Multi-billion dollar startup Magic Leap, which is building a cutting-edge augmented reality headset, is currently in a legal battle with the engineer who started its first Silicon Valley office.

Court filings reveal new secrets about the company, including a west coast software team in disarray, insufficient hardware for testing, and a secret skunkworks team devoted to getting patents and designing new prototypes — before its first product has even hit the market.

Sure, you know it doesn't make sense to spend an hour deciding which sandwich to eat for lunch.

Or a week deciding whether to accept a job offer. Or a year deciding whether to marry your partner.

Enough, you might tell yourself. Just make a decision. And you do.

But within minutes, that stream of doubts and insecurities starts leaking — and eventually gushing — though the mental fortress you've built up around them.

Everyone's been there ... Читать дальше...

We all have our bad days. It's frustrating when 5 p.m. rolls around and our to-do lists have barely changed. 

The work piles up, the next day is stress-packed and intimidating, and it all cascades to the next day and the next. Before you know it, you've wasted a week or more, all because of one bad day.

It can be hard to recover from a bad workday, but a large part of that is simply not identifying the cause of the problem and fixing it. When you're immersed in the problem... Читать дальше...

Faraday Future owes a $21 million deposit to an escrow account to cover costs for its Nevada factory, Automotive News first reported.

Construction company AECOM wrote in an Oct. 10 letter obtained by Automotive News that Faraday Future is behind on a $21 million payment that was due in September to cover material costs and subcontractor work on the Nevada factory.

The letter then gave Faraday Future 10 days to "fully fund" the... Читать дальше...

There are very few feelings more frustrating than going to make a nice sandwich and finding a sage-green clot of mold on the end of your bread. Or plastered to the side of your cheddar. Or creeping up the plastic of your goat cheese. Or nibbling at the bottom of a bell pepper you sort of forgot you had.

It seems simple enough: just cut the moldy piece off, or throw it away. But is that really safe to do?

The short answer? It's complicated. Читать дальше...

Okay let’s be honest, it’s the combat planes that get most of the attention.

What airplane did “Top Gun” turn into a star? The F-14 Tomcat. “Iron Eagle’s” sex appeal came from the spritely F-16 Fighting Falcon. Even “Flight of the Intruder” made the portly A-6 Intruder attack plane the belle of the ball.

So, where does that leave some of the support planes? Out in the cold, and that just ain’t fair.

It's no secret that people love lists. They're organized, require minimal effort to read, and can make complicated information easy to digest.

Lists appeal to our innate tendency to categorize information, as well as help us feel less stressed, writes Maria Konnikova in The New Yorker.

Seeing information as a list makes you feel less overwhelmed by a task so it's easier to complete, which in turn makes you happier, says Konnikova... Читать дальше...
