When Jobs introduced the Mac in 1984, many dismissed it as cake frosting, insisting that the meat and potatoes of computer interaction would always be the arcane codes demanded by blinking prompts on “command lines.” But critics wound up eating their words, as people caught on to the idea that actually handling their information–as opposed to memorizing weird incantations and waiting to see what happened–was not only relatively easy but something just short of fun....

The former NHL player was voted off during the second week of "Dancing With The Stars". He and Karina Smirnoff were the second couple eliminated — and he, naturally, is blaming the producers for it, rather than exploring the possibility that there's something about him people just don't like. “I think we knew as of Monday last week our fate was sealed,” Avery told "Good Morning America" (via Mediaite). “I had conversation with Conrad Green, one of the producers....

On Tuesday, Fox News started promoting their agenda against the Ukraine whistleblower with allegations of improper fundraising through the website GoFundMe, reports Media Matters. Sean Hannity also promoted the new whistleblower complaint on his radio show, then pushed an upcoming interview with the attorney involved on his TV show. The attorney in question said it’s “not about politics for my client—it’s whistleblower-on-whistleblower.” Traditionally, a whistleblower is a person who exposes secretive information or activity that is deemed illegal, unethical or not correct within a private or public organization....

The longtime confidante of President Donald Trump, who has addressed the ongoing impeachment inquiry numerous times on his show, on Monday night compared Biden and his allies to a mob family. Bringing up a “crime family” graphic that has previously been used by Hannity to lambast former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the Fox News host suggested that an “official criminal investigation” should be opened into the Bidens, Mediaite reported....

Castor has been slammed for his “disorganized” and “random” opening statement during the first day of the Senate trial on Tuesday. The former president stands accused of inciting insurrection over the January 6 Capitol riots which saw the deaths of five people, including a police officer. The trial is not expected to continue past Sunday, making it the shortest ever impeachment trial in history. During his presentation, Castor said that the Democratic impeachment managers provided an “outstanding presentation,” called the senators acting as jurors “extraordinary people” and digressed into anecdotes from “little Bruce’s” childhood in Philadelphia....

Zelensky has reportedly been in talks with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to make a video appearance during Sunday’s broadcast of the Oscars, the New York Post reported Friday. However, awards co-host Amy Schumer said in an interview last week that her request to have Zelensky address the nation during the show was rejected by producers. Penn, who is filming a documentary about Russia’s invasion in Ukraine and working to supply humanitarian aid to Ukrainian refugees in Poland and Romania, told CNN on Saturday he would be gravely disappointed if the Academy denies the Ukrainian leader the opportunity to speak....

The show initially aired on Pop TV in Canada before Netflix bought the international distribution rights and it became a Netflix Original show across the world.

“Ask Mitch McConnell: The bottom line is, it’s very simple, it’s on his shoulders,” a visibly frustrated Schumer told reporters on Tuesday while speaking about the GOP Senate minority leader’s role in the standoff. “It’s up to him—all he has to do is get out of the way.” The New York Democrat reiterated his point, saying, “The best way to get this done is just for Republicans to get out of the way....

“If I could chose, then I would pick Champions League and Euro2012,” says a recovering Schweinsteiger to German media, “but I would also like to win the Bundesliga and German Cup as well.” Typical Schweinsteiger it comes out cooly, but the 27 year old midfielder is much more mature then in the years gone by. He has the conviction that all this is achieveable. Schweinsteiger had hoped to make a surprise comeback before the Bundesliga winter break, but coach Jupp Heynckes had vetoed any such move as he see’s Schweinsteiger crucial to the clubs plans for the second half of the season....

Researchers in Australia have unearthed genetic markers of age-related macular degeneration. They hope their discovery will soon mean doctors can give patients the best drug for them based on their genes. The incurable condition can cause sufferers to go blind or become partially sighted. Symptoms are caused by steady degeneration of the macular, which lies in the center of the retina towards the back of the eye. Around 600,000 Brits, just under one percent of the population, are affected by it, according to the Macular Society....

To find these genetic markers, researchers examined genetic and health data derived from 200,000 veterans of the United States Armed Forces, which was compiled in the Million Veteran Program (MVP), a national research program funded by the government to determine “how genes, lifestyle and military exposures affect health and illness.” “This is the richest set of results for the genetic basis of anxiety to date,” Joel Gelernter, the co-lead author of the study, said in a Yale press release....

“We tend to focus on the negative risk factors when we talk about health and longevity, but I think it’s also important to keep in mind the positive things like optimism that can affect our health,” Hayami Koga, a researcher who studies optimism at Harvard University, told Newsweek.
