BIG DECISION on Missouri's Voter Photo ID Law

Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images Google and the Department of Justice met one final time in an Alexandria, Virginia courtroom to debate the future of Google’s online ad tech juggernaut. Over about three hours of closing arguments, attorneys for each side delivered their last arguments before US District Court judge Leonie Brinkema, who is expected to rule on it by the end of 2024. If she declares Google’s ad tech system a monopoly, the case will progress to a second trial for remedies — a process currently playing out in a separate DC District Court case over Google search. Many of the arguments were familiar to any Google trial watcher. The DOJ argues Google used a suite of ad tech products, particularly Doubleclick For Publishers (DFP) and the AdX exchange, to s...

Photo by Prince Williams/Wireimage Musically speaking, I’d say Drake lost the tit-for-tat feud this year between himself and Kendrick Lamar, which culminated in Lamar’s hit song “Not Like Us.” But Drake (real name: Aubrey Graham) doesn’t seem to want to accept defeat that easily. In a petition filed in New York’s state Supreme Court on Monday, Drake is accusing Universal Music Group — the label that’s represented him for his entire career and also represents Lamar — and Spotify of shady business practices aimed at making “Not Like Us” more of a hit than it already was: In 2024, UMG did not rely on chance, or even ordinary business practices, to “break through the noise” on Spotify, and likely other music platforms. It instead launched a campaign to manipulate and... Continue reading…

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Zoom is changing its name from Zoom Video Communications Inc. to just Zoom Communications Inc. In a post on the company blog, Zoom Communications CEO Eric Yuan writes that Zoom is now an “AI-first work platform for human connection” that delivers “modern, hybrid work solutions.” It’s a muddy, if vague, change compared to its 2020 rise when the classic Zoom Meetings product became synonymous with video conferencing and thrived as companies were forced to transition employees to work from home. Now, it no longer wants to be known for video as workers have returned to offices, and bigger, better-resourced competition from Google, Microsoft, and Slack offers video as a feature of the office suites companies already pay for. Allow us to... Continue reading…

Early last year, I got back into long-distance running, aiming to start running half-marathon races. I used ChatGPT to get back into shape, and the experience has been amazing. I now run a half-marathon almost every week. It's just another day at the park. I also decided to move on to marathons last year, something I had never done before and never thought I'd be able to do. I employed the services of ChatGPT once again, and I've now completed two official races. If all goes well, more will follow. I ran my first marathon using an Apple Watch SE 2 model that was about 18 months old at the time of the race. The battery health was at 83%, and the Apple Watch SE barely made it through the marathon. Six months later, I used an Apple Watch Series 10 to run my second marathon. I've been wearing it since late September, and the battery health is still at 100% after about two months. The Apple Watch Series 10 would have easily lasted the entire marathon race even if the battery health were slightly lower. Even if I were slower, it would have made it. I knew the Apple Watch Series 10 battery life was amazing before the race. I never had any doubts. As I explained more than once, the Apple Watch Series 10 can last up to 36 hours with mild activity. It routinely lasts for 30 hours, even on harder training days. And I always use the Watch to track my sleep. But knowing all of that, the Apple Watch Series 10 battery still blew my mind, and it's not just because of the stellar longevity. Continue reading...

Dolly Parton has done a good job keeping her husband Carl Dean out of the public eye for decades. However, concerns are rising as even her best friend Reba McEntire has never met him. People are starting to doubt if he is real, but the country star swears he exists.  An insider revealed that Carl is simply introverted, and even though he is a supportive husband, he prefers to stay out of Dolly’s show business. Dolly has also warned in previous interviews that she would only ever retire to look after Carl if he falls ill.  Where is Dolly Parton’s husband?  Dolly Parton and her husband/Everett Sources say Dolly’s 82-year-old husband lives reclusively and always turns down invites to celebrity events, including shows where Dolly gets awarded. They clarified that Dolly does not keep Carl away from the people or her friends on purpose, but simply respects his wishes. Dolly also prefers to focus on her career and sees no need to flaunt him on social media like fans expect. She once admitted that his health requires careful management, and he would rather stay home and attract public concern about his condition.  Dolly Parton and her husband/Everett Is Dolly Parton’s husband ill?  More reports reveal that Dolly’s husband has been diagnosed with multiple conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, high blood pressure, and a weak heart. Dolly slowed down on show business last year by putting touring aside to enjoy their last years together. Insiders say she has been a dotting wife, staying home more and cooking his favorite meals herself.  Dolly Parton and her husband/Everett Amid spending more time with her husband, including a recent camping trip, Dolly is getting set to release her Broadway musical, Hello I’m Dolly, which she hopes to release in the spring of 2026. She is also writing a book of the same name and hopes to make it into a biopic after.  Next up: Billy Crystal Looks Like He’s In His 30s Again In New Film ‘Before’ With AI Technology The post Concerns Heighten As Dolly Parton’s Husband Remains Out Of Sight, Even To Her Close Friend  appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
