Yes, it is true that Steve Ballmer is leaving Microsoft, literally the end of an era. While Microsoft might not dominate the tech arena like in earlier days, it still clocked 77.9 billion dollars in revenue this past year. Thus, it is certainly one of the big dogs. I’m not going to go into why Ballmer is leaving the company which has been so successful at, let us rather focus on what this means for its competition....

The 25-year-old, who brilliantly partnered with Becky Sauerbrunn in central defense en route to 2015 Women’s World Cup glory, earned just one start in the Americans’ first nine matches of 2017. As Ellis experimented with a 3-5-2 formation and auditioned new options at center back, Ertz found herself out of favor.

During a postgame press conference, Kaepernick wore the shirt showing Castro and African-American civil rights activist Malcolm X. Bad move and a bad look, said Kellerman. Kaepernick came off like one of those naive college sophomores who doesn’t realize what Castro’s 55-year Communist dictatorship has done to Cubans, said Kellerman. “Don’t wear the Castro T-shirt Colin. Bad look. Dumb,” said Kellerman. MORE: The worst of the worst Kaepernick hot takes His debate opponent Stephen A....

One such character is Dane Whitman, played by Kit Harington — aka Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. Despite being played by such a high-profile actor, Dane is barely in the movie, appearing only at the very beginning and very end of the film.

What Is Ethereum Classic (ETC)? As the name suggests, Ethereum Classic was the first Ethereum blockchain to be developed. This blockchain is now used to run smart contracts, programs that run when predetermined conditions are met between a buyer and a seller. The Ethereum Classic network came to be via a hard fork in July 2016 after tensions began to rise between users with differing views within the network. In 2016, an Ethereum-based project known as The DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) was hacked through a code exploit, with $50 million in investor money being stolen....

While no one keeps stats on injuries resulting from small devices, their growing popularity has many experts concerned. Last year the American Physical Therapy Association warned that frequent users of BlackBerry-type devices are more likely to experience swelling, hand throbbing and tendinitis. And though many companies have hired consultants to adjust their employees’ desktop setups, many workers don’t necessarily heed proper ergonomics once they leave the office. “The more portable the device, the more people forget about healthy ways to use their bodies,” says Kristin Amlie, senior ergonomist at the UCSF Ergonomics Program....

And that’s how it has always been with Gulbis. The comparisons, the expectations, the inevitable disappointments – all of the unavoidable baggage that comes with being ridiculously talented. The Latvian has failed to live up to his potential in his short career so far – that much is clear.
