When Tinder launched in 2012, every match felt like an adrenaline rush, or at the very least, a spark.

But those matches are no longer quite as exciting. Oftentimes, they lead to quick hookups, sleazy come-ons, or nothing at all. That leaves a big opening for Tinder's dating app competitors .

Although Tinder has a huge user base (an estimated 50 million worldwide), other dating apps, like Bumble and Coffee Meets Bagel, are meeting a larger percentage of their users' expectations. Читать дальше...

If any of the following signs strike a chord with you, you may want to delay the home-buying process.

Cigna

Cigna CEO David Cordani works out every day. 

"An average day for me is an hour workout in the morning before I start my day — no matter where I am in the world — to get that not just physical activity but stress reliever and quality of life," Cordani, who's a triathlete, told Business Insider.

Since Cigna is a global company, being out of town is more likely than not for Cordani. Even so, he doesn't miss a day.

How is it that Donald Trump only gets a reported 4 hours of sleep each night? Especially with all the stress he must be under during this election cycle? Or better yet, how is it that Leonardo Da Vinci only slept in 20 minute spans every four hours? The "Sleepless Elite" usually tout their lack of snoozing as the key to their success. But putting aside the fact that these individuals may have the short sleeper gene mutation which allows for this, the average person still needs the proper amount of sleep just to function.

Donald Trump on Saturday criticized Jay Z for the foul language he used while performing a concert at a Hillary Clinton rally the night before, saying that if he were to use such words he would find himself in hot water.

“I actually like Jay Z, but you know, the language last night. Oh. Oh. I was thinking, maybe I’ll just try it? Should I use that language for one event? Can you imagine if I said that?” Trump rhetorically asked a crowd at a rally in Tampa, Florida. Читать дальше...

Every day, motorists around the nation drive with the knowledge that police are roaming the highways and byways of America in patrol vehicles ready to enforce the law. Even though police cars bear some resemblance to standard production sedans and SUVs, they aren't. Instead, they are souped up specialty vehicles equipped with custom police-specific powertrain and equipment. Or as they put in the hit 1980 film The Blues Brothers, "it's got a cop motor,... it's got cop tires, cop suspension... Читать дальше...

Psychologists call it "thin slicing."

Within moments of meeting you, people decide all sorts of things about you, from status to intelligence to conscientiousness.

Career experts say it takes just three seconds for someone to determine whether they like you and want to do business with you.

Jon Ralston, a KNTV political analyst who has covered politics in the battleground state for more than three decades, published an analysis of Nevada's early voting Friday. He concluded the trends do not look good for Trump — or Republicans down the ballot, either.

Apple's iPhone, the company's most important product, has seen three straight quarters of sales declines on an annual basis.

Most analysts expect the iPhone to grow slightly year-over-year in the quarter ending in December, thanks to strong demand in the United States for the iPhone 7 Plus. But that doesn't mean the iPhone's skid is over. 

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is predicting that Apple will continue to see iPhone sales decline over the first half of next year. Читать дальше...

For the past couple of years, Facebook has done nothing significant about its Snapchat problem.

Sure, Mark Zuckerberg and co. have tried to clone parts of Snapchat with failed apps like Slingshot. But Facebook has never really thrown its full weight behind taking Snapchat head on.

Until now.
