As recounted by software wizard Andy Hertzfeld on a new cyberdigital history site (folklore.org), the already overworked Mac team trudged back to the cubicles for seven days of debugging hell, fueled by espresso chocolate beans and a dream. And on Jan. 24, 1984, their leader, Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, recited a verse from “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” then formally unveiled the Macintosh, a boxy little guy with a winning smile icon on its nine-inch monochrome screen....
Durant finished with 30 points and 12 rebounds to lead Thunder, followed by Westbrook’s 27 points and 12 assists. Former Jazz player Enes Kanter scored 25 points and was 2 rebounds shy of a double-double.

Oklahoma State (3-0) will look to stay perfect for the season and open conference play to the same standard. The Baylor Bears (3-1) will look to continue proving their one loss was a fluke and move to 2-0 in the Big 12 conference. The Cowboys will step on the field rested and fresh as they’ve had an extra week to recover from a 63-7 tune-up game. Confidence will be high, and if all goes to plan, so will their scoreline....

Ocular melanoma usually starts in the layer just beneath the white part of your eye (the sclera), in what’s known as the uvea. The uvea is made up of the colored iris; the ciliary body, which changes the shape of the lens; and the choroid at the back of the eye, beneath the light-sensitive retina. Usually, the ocular melanoma starts in the choroid at the back of the eye....
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), more than 5,700 users have reported skin irritation (with 45 requiring medical attention) caused by the Oculus Quest 2’s foam insert. While this is a relatively small number compared to the roughly 4 million units that have been sold, it’s enough for Oculus to begin a voluntary recall of the “foam facial interface.” It’s worth noting that the recall is taking place at the retail level, and Oculus is temporarily pausing sales while it gets everything sorted out....
Let’s consult the Las Vegas odds to win the 2016 national championship to find out. As you may expect, the nation’s college football media is overrating some teams and underrating others, based on the futures odds (this exercise is admittedly an oversimplification – futures odds are not necessarily a direct reflection of the bookmakers’ opinions). These are teams the AP voters rate higher than the odds suggest they should be (there’s a full list comparing the odds and the AP’s top 25 below):...

Sure, it’s a long shot. But considering all the gonzo roster moves made by Los Angeles since 2016, the possibility of the talented but temperamental Giants wide receiver heading to SoCal can’t be dismissed. After all, nobody at this time two years ago could have predicted the Rams would complete one of the boldest maneuvers in NFL Draft history and leap from No. 15 to the top overall pick for quarterback Jared Goff....

Especially in the era before online access was common, official PlayStation magazines gave subscribers a monthly update on all things related to Sony’s hit original PlayStation console. It’s important to note that there were actually a number of these magazines worldwide. The American iteration ran from 1997 until 2012, changing its name midway through from Official US PlayStation Magazine to PlayStation: The Official Magazine. The UK version of the magazine fared better; while it changed its name from Official UK PlayStation Magazine to PlayStation Official Magazine - UK during its run, it lasted through to the PS5 era....

Vodka, long associated with Russia, has become one of the latest targets in this campaign. A photo of the Hempstead officials dumping vodka, posted on the town’s Twitter page, showed them pouring out at least 10 different bottles....
