In an interview with Reuters, Trump called the revelation "a big thing."

"This means that he has to be investigated," Trump said.

During a rally in Sanford, Florida, on Tuesday afternoon, Trump addressed the latest emails. Читать дальше...

Hugo Boss couldn't quite become the boss of luxury.

Newly appointed CEO of Hugo Boss Mark Langer says the 92-year-old German brand will be abandoning its attempt to become a true luxury brand.

Langer assured Handelsblatt that the company would remain a premium brand... Читать дальше...

Chipotle's sales continue to plunge following the E. coli outbreak that affected restaurants in 14 states one year ago. 

Revenue declined 14.8% to $1 billion in the third quarter and same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least a year, dropped 21.9%, the company said Tuesday.

Net income for the quarter was $7.8 million, a decrease from $144.9 million for the period last year. 

The company's rewards program — called Chiptopia — did little to lift third-quarter sales. Читать дальше...

Apple's earnings for the third quarter are out, and the big number on everyone's mind is iPhone sales.

Apple reported that it sold 45.5 million iPhones last quarter. Analysts were expecting 45 million iPhone sales. It's a slight beat.

iPhone sales have been in decline all year, as Apple faces a saturated high-end smartphone market.

This was the first quarter to represent at least some iPhone 7 sales. But the iPhone 7 only went on sale on September 16. Next quarter... Читать дальше...

The word "utopia" is made up of two Greek words, together meaning "no place." The word suggests that no place on Earth could possibly be perfectly egalitarian, free of conflict, and sustainable.

That didn't stop people from trying, however. The Puritans believed in creating a utopia while escaping the Protestants in the 1600s. In the 1960s, as hippie subculture was at its apex, people again strove to form utopian settlements.

Today, the tech elite are putting new kinds of utopian projects forward... Читать дальше...

The image of someone sitting at home on a sunny Saturday afternoon writing a project report does not seem to illustrate the phrase "work/life balance."

More like "workaholic."

But Laura Vanderkam wants to challenge that assumption, as well as the common fear that if you, too start working on the weekends, your work/life balance will disappear. Instead, she suggests that spending part of the weekend on professional tasks can reduce stress, bolster your career, and help facilitate work/life balance. Читать дальше...

Warning: There are spoilers ahead if you haven't seen "The Walking Dead" through season six.

When adapting something from a preexisting source material, the usual rule is: don’t change things. Whether it’s events or characters or relationships, fans usually don’t respond well when someone messes with their favorite stories. Adapting a book or a comic can be a bit of a minefield.

But every now and then, especially when it comes to TV, some changes are not only necessary, but welcome. Читать дальше...

This post by Ellen Vrana appeared originally on Quora as an answer to the question Why do most people not understand introverts?

I think there are several drivers of this rather annoying and all-too-common dismissive behavior.

People don’t know introverts exist:

Do you remember the first time you learned about “introverts” and “extroverts?”

I do, I was in my 30s. I took an MBTI test and I thought s---, that makes a lot of sense!

IKEA

I had a few burning questions when I visited the IKEA headquarters in Älmhult, Sweden.

How did IKEA get so cheap? Do you have to sacrifice everything for low prices? Does design take a back seat to price?

“That’s partially true,” Per Krokstäde, new business manager at IKEA Sweden, tells Business Insider Netherlands. “We don’t say that a product has to cost exactly $8.50. But we do say we want to design a folding chair in our so-called ‘lower price category.’ Next, we draft a target price... Читать дальше...

AWS is on track to do $10 billion in revenue this year and along the way AWS has upended the entire computer industry, with giants like Microsoft and Google now chasing Amazon. 

While it's easy to point to all that success, no one ever seems to forget the company's big fat failures either. On Tuesday, speaking at the Wall Street Journal's WSJ D Live conference in Laguna Beach... Читать дальше...

After a long, rough day, nothing sounds quite as appealing as crawling into a soft, warm, bed — and sleeping.

Yet for many of us, even when we've set aside the time for it, rest doesn't come easy.

Part of the problem has to do with light. In the evening, our crisply lit smartphones, tablets, and laptops keep our eyes and brains on high alert — making it tough to relax and potentially robbing us of the long and peaceful slumber we need to be productive during the day. Читать дальше...
