Hands on: 15-in. MacBook Pro delivers on speed and design – for a price
There's a lot to like in Apple's new laptop lineup, from the updated internal architecture to the twice-as-big multi- and force-touch trackpad and the brighter, more color-accurate Retina display.But the question I keep getting asked about the latest 15-in. MacBook Pro is whether the new Touch Bar is a gimmick.The Touch Bar is Apple's replacement for the Function key row. Instead of keys, there's a 2170-x-60-pixel OLED multitouch display that dynamically changes based on app use and context..>> view originalRumor: Nintendo Switch version of Pokemon Sun and Moon in development

Last Updated Nov 19, 2016 7:45 AM EST Media academics are adding their voices to the chorus of people urging technology companies and the media to take decisive action to cure the disease of fake news. “The idea you’re going to correct the internet is absurd,” Jeff Jarvis, director of the Tow Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at the City University of New York, told CBSN. Still, Jarvis had suggestions on ways in which social media platforms like Facebook, search engines like Google..>> view originalTV Review: Jeremy Clarkson's 'The Grand Tour' on Amazon
If there is one lesson to be learned in 2016, it is that white men in media have a free pass to fail upward with impunity. Corey Lewandowski assaulted a reporter and got a job at CNN; Roger Ailes sexually harassed women at Fox News for decades and got a position as a senior strategist for Donald Trump’s campaign. And our president-elect himself… well. It appears that we have a truly extraordinary capacity for forgiveness. For Jeremy Clarkson, who physically and verbally assaulted a BBC producer..>> view originalOn its way out, Obama administration moves to slam the door shut on Arctic drilling
The Royal Dutch Shell oil drilling rig Polar Pioneer is towed toward a dock in Elliott Bay in Seattle in May 2015. Royal Dutch Shell walked away from exploratory drilling in U.S. Arctic waters, and the Obama administration has taken steps to keep drill rigs out of Alaska’s northern ocean for years to come. (AP/Elaine Thompson) The Obama administration on Friday banned offshore drilling in the Arctic, setting a likely collision course with President-elect Donald Trump, who has vowed to “unlea..>> view originalGoogle reverses its 'digital death sentence' for Pixel phone resellers
Google has now lifted a controversial ban which wiped out the digital identities — meaning Gmail accounts, access to photos, voicemails and files — of those consumers who used a tax loophole to profit from reselling their Pixel smartphones. The affected people were, in fact, in violation of Google’s Terms of Service, which prohibits you from commercially reselling any device. However, Google’s disproportionate response to the violation has been described as the “21st century version of losing ..>> view originalWhile the North Pole warms beyond the melting point, it's freakishly cold in Siberia
Temperature differences from normal. (University of Maine Climate Reanalyzer) Meteorologists are having a difficult time recalling a more amazing contrast. While the North Pole flirts with melting temperatures, Siberia is shivering in off-the-charts cold. The Weather Channel described the stunning side-by-side extremes as “one of the most bizarre juxtapositions seen”. The Siberian cold, up to 60 degrees below normal, has persisted for weeks. On Nov. 15, it manifested itself in more than 12 ..>> view originalDiplomats Confront New Threat to Paris Climate Pact: Donald Trump
The tax would be calculated based on the amount of carbon pollution associated with the manufacturing of each product. That would impose a painful cost on the heaviest industrial polluters, particularly on exporters of products containing steel and cement. “The Paris Agreement is meant to get everyone on board in one structure where you can address climate change together,” said Dirk Forrister, the president and chief executive of the International Emissions Trading Organization, a nonprofit or..>> view originalFixation on Fake News Overshadows Waning Trust in Real Reporting
During the months I spent talking to partisan Facebook page operators for a magazine article this year, it became clear that while the ecosystem contained easily identifiable and intentional fabrication, it contained much, much more of something else. I recall a conversation with a fact checker about how to describe a story, posted on a pro-Trump website and promoted on a pro-Trump Facebook page — and, incidentally, copied from another pro-Trump site by overseas contractors. It tried to cast su..>> view original
