That’s right. To fulfill the duty cast upon him by the king of Spain,* Juan Ponce had but to come across a good cup of joe … a jigger of java … jitter juice, mocha, morning mud. Whatever you call your cup of sludge, according to research reported this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, each sip of coffee you swallow is making you live a little bit longer....

I’m planning to get Apple’s new gadget. The biggest decision is whether to wait for 3G or get one on March 26th. (Who are we kidding? I’ll be camping out at the Apple Store on release day). The real question is: How am I going to schlep one of these things around? The point of the iPad is that I can take it places where my MacBook Pro doesn’t need to go....

One fan updates the poster for 2012’s The Avengers with the heroes’ respective suits in Avengers: Endgame. Directed by Joss Whedon, Marvel Studios’ first ensemble project was the first indication that the MCU’s interconnected storytelling format can thrive. That film was the culminating outing for the then-budding franchise’s Phase 1 which consists of only five standalone movies introducing the universe’s six founding heroes. Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) and Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) all came together to defeat Loki (Tom Hiddleston)....

Note: This isn’t a new feature; you can also do this with Outlook 2007 by digging deep into Settings. But the process is much easier in Outlook 2013 and 2010. Assign a Specific Alert Sound for Outlook Contacts To assign a specific alert sound to a contact, you need to create a new rule. Right-click on an email of the contact you want to set a specific sound for and select Rules > Create Rule from the context menu....

The relationship between Parks and Rec’s Leslie Knope and Ben Wyatt is a treasured romance. Both worked for the Pawnee government where there’s a strict no romance clause when working there. Starting a relationship could mean that they both lost their jobs. Knowing how much Leslie loved her job (and how good Ben was at his) meant that there was no way these two could be together while working for the same government....

Parks & Rec is a fantastic comedy and it achieves that through characters, clever one-liners, and emotional turmoil. Though it never gets as dark as your standard TV drama, in order to keep you engaged in the content, there needs to be conflict between the characters and their situations. And when that conflict comes to a boil, we’re all left feeling a little less than stellar. At least we have the next Andy Dwyer-ism to get us through the roughest of times....

Red Hat’s findings in its The State of Enterprise Open Source report might settle a debate as old as the internet about whether open-source software is more or less secure than proprietary software, such as Windows. The argument for open-source software security has been that more people vetting publicly available source code can result in faster fixes compared to the ‘security through obscurity’ model – a term historically applied to proprietary software because the codebases could only be vetted by employees....

It’s not that Claire could ever look less than beautiful but somehow her exquisite clothing in the show helps to create the ethereal facade she presents to viewers on Outlander. She is always convincingly dressed the part as an 18th-century beauty, in costumes which seem to have been snatched out of time to be featured on the series. Female fans in particular have probably wondered about the dresses, skirts, bodices and bonnets worn by Claire....

The challenge for brands is creating authentic and impactful, culturally-focused Hispanic marketing campaigns–without pandering, stereotyping or over-generalizing. The most powerful technique social teams have in their corner this month is working directly with Latinx and Hispanic creators. Getting to know the Latinx and Hispanic consumer If your brand is looking to enter the Latinx market, here’s what you need to know. Latinx spending power is expected to top 1.3 trillion dollars in 2023 and 78% of Latinx and Hispanic consumers enjoy online shopping....

When I first learned that the new MacBook Pro had no SD Card slot, like many creators, I was a little perturbed. The reason is that SD Cards have long been the fastest way to transfer media from cameras to our computers. But now that the new MacBook Pros have no built-in SD Card reader, it means that creators will have to rely on an external USB-C to SD Card dongle, like this one....

Almost every smartphone company nowadays is trying to push the front bezels of the phone to as small as possible. The front speaker and other sensors can be removed or housed under the screen. But, you can’t do this with the front camera yet. So until under display cameras are made possible, many brands have come up with different solutions for placement of the selfie camera. These include notches, pop-up cameras, flip cameras, and punch hole cameras....

Developers, you need to install an update from Software Update first. Then Restart. Then go to the Dev Center and get a redeem code. Then go to the Mac App Store, redeem and download. The download is 3.7GB. We miss the old days. Apple also released Xcode to 4.1 Developer Preview 2: XCode 4 goes final, available in the Mac App Store for 5 bucks (9to5mac.com) Xcode updated to developer preview 6 (9to5mac....

But thankfully, despite the slow innovation in providing a significant improvement in battery technology, there are companies that are trying to stretch a phone’s battery life. Just earlier this month, we saw Gionee launch the Marathon M5 which comes with a 6,020 mAh battery, a feat it achieved by coupling two cells together. But we now have a company that wants to take this to a whole new level. Oukitel, a Chinese smartphone manufacturer you’ve likely never heard of is catching our attention today for its bold announcement....

Outriders is looking to make a big splash this year, bringing guns, superpowers, and feisty co-op third-person shooting to consoles and PC. One thing that the studio People Can Fly won’t be bringing, however, is lootboxes, or any games-as-a-service pay-to-win nonsense. The looter shooter genre—and, to be frank, modern games in general—can often fall victim to publishers scouting out premium-paying “whales,” a practice which often negatively affects the overall quality of these games....

There’s always been a simple pleasure that comes from hopping into a digital world and shooting your friends. From Doom, to Goldeneye, to Halo, many of the greatest video games ever made allow you to enter a digital battlefield and wage war against your fellow combatants. Overwatch is the latest major entrant into that proud genre. Like other shooters that came before, part of the joy of Overwatch comes from being able to prove your worth in a competitive arena....

Parasite has gotten a second trailer and it’s full of quotes from critics haling the film as a masterpiece. An original project co-written and directed by cult South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, the dark satire premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, and went on to take home the event’s coveted Palme d’Or. Unsurprisingly, Neon plans to release Parasite domestically in the midst of this year’s awards season, in a bid to further tap into its early rave reviews and potentially transform the film into an Oscar contender across the board....
