At a glance, swapping a $10 credit for the 20% discount was only a slight downgrade but only for those that didn’t read the fine print. Apparently, this credit will only be available on select game pre-orders, it will not be instantaneous, and it will expire after 60 days. So even if a game pre-order does qualify for the $10 credit, patrons will only have 60 days to use it, after waiting up to 35 days for it to arrive via e-mail....
In response, the company has taken their case to the Third Division of the Georgia Court of Appeals. Their case hinges on whether or not Bernecker was considered an employee or an independent contractor. AMC posits that Bernecker was not an independent contractor, but a full blown employee, which would mean that his family would be forced to go through the Georgia’s workers’ compensation system, instead of receiving a civil judgement....
The comments come from Rick Bergman, the Executive Vice President of AMD’s Computing and Graphics Business Group, in an interview with business magazine The Street. Bergman confirmed that AMD is continuing to aggressively target performance per watt efficiency gains with its hardware, in order to improve performance without needing expensive cooling solutions, whilst avoiding forcing gamers to upgrade their power supplies along with their CPU or graphics card.

IN THEIR MIXED FEELINGS about business, Americans are much like Linus of the “Peanuts” cartoon strip, who declared, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand.” Americans often castigate individual companies but rarely question the competitive, free-market culture that gives companies huge, sometimes dangerous, power. Two new books, both by Wall Street Journal reporters and both about the dark side of a corporate behemoth, continue in this pattern. Paul Carroll’s “Big Blues: The Unmaking of IBM” details the “lethal…hubris” of the computer maker whose declining fortunes have decimated thousands of careers and even more retirement accounts....
NEWSWEEK: Why are Americans so interested in Italian culture? Why not Belgian or Czech? Batali: Not to insult those countries, but aside from a couple of things from Belgium or Czechoslovakia, their culture is not exported here. We don’t even know what they do. Italians have made it their business to export Italian culture, from spaghetti, to design, to poster art, to wine and soft drinks. If you open a bar in the U....
While it was an honor for the U.K. to host this month’s G7 meeting (invitations were also extended to other significant world leaders) the atmosphere in Cornwall bore a closer resemblance to a New Age gathering. Everyone agreed that global warming and continuing caution over the pandemic were the priorities. The language that was used was astonishing. The worst culprit was the host, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who said at one point that he wanted to build a “more gender-neutral” and “feminine” world....
He believes that a lot of experience has been added to his profile compared to the last time. “No doubt I have more experience now, I have more experience of [assessing] how to bowl, how the partnership is going, how the wicket is, which batsman is playing how,” Mishra was quoted saying by ESPNcricinfo. “My bowling has improved along those lines, and my thinking has improved. I feel I have made the improvement I had needed to make....

While the Crewmates’ goal is to survive the game, the Impostors’ goal is to kill the Crewmates. The Impostors, however, can adapt to several different play styles in order to succeed. 5 types of Impostors in Among Us The Pacifist The Pacifist is an Among Us Impostor who refuses to call. They simply follow and blend in with the Crewmates. The main goal of the Pacifist is to turn everyone against each other....
There are several kinds of players that are found in the lobbies these days. Let’s take a look at a few of those stereotypical players that we usually come across during our games in Among Us. Types of players in Among Us The Coward They hate the electrical room, the darkness, and anything sus. They like to stay in large groups and hate The Follower. The Coward gets killed last because they’re too scared to venture out alone....
Fall Guys was an internet sensation in a similar way to Among Us once it picked up steam, and for very similar reasons. The gameplay is simple but engaging, and the characters are extremely cute and very customizable. The internet always goes through a few different video game sensations over the course of a year, but it’s uncommon that two of them share aesthetics as closely as Among Us and Fall Guys do....
Players can expect to see lots of red crewmates when Among Us’ Airship map arrives, as the color ranks among the top of the “most popular colors” list. With the red crewmate being used in all the game’s promotional material and almost always appearing in Among Us matches, its spot certainly makes sense. Right behind the Red crewmate is the Black color, as the dark crewmate stands out well among the other options....
An Among Us fan going by the tag PhantomHylian on Reddit took advantage of this fact to secure a victory as Impostor. When the Redditor accidentally killed someone in front of a Crewmate, they turned the situation in their favor by pretending their accuser, AlexAce, was their Impostor partner, one who was new to the game and didn’t know to avoid reporting their partner’s kills. The act made the accuser so suspicious that Crewmates threw them out after Phantom, giving the latter’s team victory....
During the 2018 Selangor kit launching event that was held in Shah Alam on Sunday, club president Dato’ Seri Subahan Kamal made a bold promise to the fans in attendance. He vowed that if he were still president in the next term, the Red Giants, who are currently still in search of a home ground for the coming season, will have their own venue. “If we can maintain the current momentum, I promise that if I were still president, in five years’ time the Red Giants would have our own stadium....
But what could the long-term damage of these fires be for the world’s largest tropical rainforest—60 percent of which is found in Brazil? “Forest fires to clear land can also get out of control, spreading beyond the intended burn,” she told Newsweek. “This endangers wildlife and jeopardizes the livelihoods of millions. A new WWF study just reported that we’ve already seen 53 percent declines of forest species populations in the past 40 years....
Some may have heard of something similar occurring with Gamestop’s current stock price, which has been inflating far beyond the value some would expect. The situation is complicated, but it boils down to this: big stock market players and hedge funds were betting big that Gamestop’s stock would go down in value, but several investment communities, particularly on Reddit, noticed this, and decided to bet in the other direction, purchasing large quantities of stock in the hopes that the value would go up....
The leak comes from Patrick Schur, an individual known for providing reliable rumors in the past. He states that AMDs Big Navi will feature a Game Clock of 2.4 GHz, which means the card should run at an average speed of 2.4 GHz while gaming. This differs from the regular metrics of Base Clock and Boost Clock, with the former being the lowest typical speed, and the latter being the absolute maximum the card will reach without overclocking....
Thanks to an aggressive military and law-enforcement effort, life is much harder for terrorists nowadays. But Al Qaeda has a history of biding its time, with a year or two usually between major attacks. Even if Osama bin Laden is killed, his network will still be operating in 60 countries, plotting revenge. It’s a natural cycle: recovery breeds relaxation, which in turn breeds new vulnerability. When the busy public moves on, the patient terrorists may move in....
The urgency of this is not felt everywhere. Coastal, Sun-Belt regions are receiving a greater share of educated, ambitious Americans, with the Rust Belt being left behind. This creates demographic changes which can lead to a painfully divided country. This must be reversed. Almost a third of adults in the United States have moved in the last five years. They are disproportionately college-educated Americans looking for high-paying work in places like Seattle, New York or California....
