Remember Cpl. Pat Tillman, the patriotic former Arizona Cardinals defensive back who walked away from a fat NFL contract to join the Army Rangers in Afghanistan? After Tillman was killed in action in 2004, the Army told his family and the country that he had died in a heroic struggle with the enemy. In fact, Tillman was accidentally killed by friendly fire from American forces. Within hours of his death, the Army went into damage-control overdrive, posting guards to keep eyewitnesses from talking, cutting off phone and Internet service to the base and even burning Tillman’s uniform before awarding him the Silver Star....

Microsoft releases new updates for Windows 10 which also includes several improvements for UI. Talking about user experience, Microsoft in their bid to make the Settings or Windows Store Apps cleaner choose to hide the scrollbar by default which frankly is very annoying in my experience. The scrollbar only appears when you move your mouse cursor over a thin line at the right-hand side of the window. But don’t worry as Microsoft added the ability to allow the scrollbars to stay always visible in Windows Store apps in the April 2018 Update....

Fresh off winning one gold and two silvers at the 2016 Rio Olympics, the 22-year-old gymnast announced on “The Ellen Show” that she will be taking a year off. “That’s the goal,” she said. “I’m going to take off a little bit of time, just because I think I need a little bit of a break.

‘RAW’ thoughts Am I the only one who … … thought the opening segment was ill-conceived? The show opened with the eight wrestlers from “RAW” who are in the Money in the Bank matches all standing on ladders in the ring with microphones in their hands. Could this have possibly been any more contrived or silly? It got even worse once they all started bickering like petulant children. I can’t believe anyone in creative thought this was a good idea....

Ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, Mercedes quoted a tweet from Renault showing the Spaniard sat astride the back of a classic Renault car on the Monza circuit.
