Gamers may be frustrated, but the demand for graphics and ASIC chips capable of supporting mining rigs used to mine cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin -- in the days when it was financially viable for average consumers to do so -- Ethereum, and others, also represents an opportunity for manufacturers.

Microsoft reported its quarterly earnings on Wednesday after the bell, showing a clean, but modest, beat on the top and bottom lines. It also announced a one-time charge of $13.8 billion related to the newly-passed tax bill.

Microsoft did not specify whether the charge was due to a new repatriation tax. The tax bill requires companies to pay a one-time 15.5% tax on money held overseas, down from the maximum of 35% they would previously paid to return the money. Firms can no longer avoid paying taxes on past international profits by keeping the money outside the U.S.

SpaceX has launched a Falcon 9 rocket loaded with a geocommunications satellite commissioned by the Government of Luxembourg. The satellite, created by Orbital STK and to be operated by SES, will support humanitarian and military operations for Luxembourg, among other communications functions.

Facebook shares fall after people spend 50 million hours less per day on the social network: http://on.forbes.com/6012D3xpE  pic.twitter.com/KEdC1HWhg3

The company was able to drive such standout results in part by boosting the average revenue it saw for each user. Average revenue per user was up across each of the major geographic areas in which the company operates, but rose sharply in the United States and Canada. There, average revenue per user was up 35% from the fourth quarter of 2016 to $26.76.

"2017 was a strong year for Facebook , but it was also a hard one," said Mark Zuckerberg , Facebook founder and CEO. "In 2018, we're focused on making sure Facebook isn't just fun to use, but also good for people's well-being and for society. We're doing this by encouraging meaningful connections between people rather than passive consumption of content. Already last quarter, we made changes to show fewer viral videos to make sure people's time is well spent. In total, we made changes that reduced time spent on Facebook by roughly 50 million hours every day. By focusing on meaningful connections, our community and business will be stronger over the long term."

Tinder co-founder Sean Rad said, "Our intent is to provide a discount for our younger users", and while a lower court agreed with him, a California appeals court reversed the decision in a lengthy statement that suggested "some older consumers will be 'more budget constrained' and less willing to pay". Then, in a "how do you do, fellow kids?" move, the court concluded its opinion on the previous ruling with "Accordingly, we swipe left, and reverse". It's not yet clear how this judgement will affect pricing in the future -- we've reached out to Tinder for comment.

(Reuters) - The head of the leading U.S. public health agency has resigned because of financial conflicts of interest that documents showed included purchases of tobacco and healthcare stocks while in office.

Through the program, each NFL player will get a voucher from Sleep Number that they can take into their local Sleep Number retail location and order a 360 Smart Bed. So, it's an opt-in program. The players will learn how to read the SleepIQ data on the Sleep Number app on their iPhone or Android phone, and then they'll have the option of sharing the data with their trainer and the team to help optimize their training regimen. The goal of the program is to get nearly every NFL player in a Sleep Number bed before the 2018 season begins this fall.

"Whether they are accelerating drug discovery or creating virtual personal assistants that converse naturally, data scientists are using our GPU computing platform in the cloud to solve complex problems that were once considered unsolvable," Ian Buck, vice president and general manager of accelerated computing at NVIDIA, wrote in the post. "The new IBM Cloud offerings based on our Volta technology provide incredible processing speeds and the ability to scale up or down on demand for HPC and deep learning."

All you have to do is say, "Alexa, send a message." Alexa will then either send your message as a regular text, or over Alexa messaging (if it's to another Alexa-enabled device). The new feature works using any Alexa device, like the Echo Dot or Echo Show, but it only users with Android phones will be able to enable text messaging — at least for now.

Overall server and cloud services revenue grew 18 percent year-over-year, alongside the massive 98 percent jump in Azure revenue. It’s clear Microsoft’s future growth and revenue opportunities are with the cloud, so it’s no surprise to see the company continually investing there to be competitive with Amazon. Microsoft’s Office 365 subscription bet for consumers is also paying off. 29.2 million people are now using Office 365 on the consumer side, with revenue increasing 12 percent year-over-year for Office consumer and cloud. On the commercial side, Office revenue is also up at a 10 percent increase since the same period last year

The Stations app will let you just start listening without needing to make any tough choices. So far, the app has been downloaded by fewer than 100 people, so it's definitely rolling out quietly. It's possibly restricted to certain Android phones  too, as I can't download it to my Google Pixel . We'll update this story if we hear what specific regions and devices the app will work with.

Facebook notes that this policy is ‘intentionally broad’ to play things safe-rather-than-sorry for the moment, while the site works to refine its detection of such scam adverts. That may change in the future though, as Facebook says: “We will revisit this policy and how we enforce it as our signals improve.”

The patents, originally filed in 2016, may likely never see the light of day. As Gizomodo points out, the wristband system has three parts, with an ultrasonic unit for the wrist, various ultrasonic devices placed around the work area and a module to manage all that data. The patent also points to a haptic feedback module, which could buzz employees for various reasons, including notifying them of breaks or to help them find items in the warehouse, Apple Watch navigation-style.

As much as the show lampoons corporations and the people who help them thrive  and the people who fight against them, the creators accept their place within it all. In one episode, Weisman’s character memorably laments, “You spend years fighting corporations and then you realize, ‘I love southwestern egg rolls.'” The meta-textual kicker to that joke is that it’s actual product placement for Chili’s, which offers the above fried appetizer with avocado-ranch dipping sauce. Viacom is an enormous company and its shows are paid for in part with corporate tie-ins. Just because one of its shows happens to be about how corporations are terrible does not exempt it from that reality.

Brevik's new game, It Lurks Below, mixes elements of Diablo, Terraria, and Minecraft and launches on Steam later this year. The game will feature an indie/retro aesthetic, and those interested in a closer look at the game can tune in to the game's first streaming event this Friday.

That said, LibreOffice's parent organization, The Document Foundation , would like to remind you that "LibreOffice 6.0 represents the bleeding edge in term of features for open-source office suites, and as such is targeted at technology enthusiasts, early adopters, and power users. For enterprise class deployments, The Document Foundation maintains the more mature 5.4 family -- now at 5.4.4 "

The event combined a super moon (when the moon is at its closest point to Earth), a blue moon (the second full moon of the month), and a blood moon (a total lunar eclipse) for a wondrous astronomical event visible to over half the globe, especially for those on the U.S. West Coast and in Australia, Northern Russia, Eastern Asia, and the Middle East.

Brenda Fitzgerald, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, bought tobacco stock after she took over the agency’s top job, according to documents obtained by Politico . Yes, the Trump administration’s top public health official bought shares in a tobacco company , despite the fact that her job is to reduce tobacco use.

Plaintiff Allan Candelore filed suit against the company for age discrimination, alleging its Tinder Plus pricing violates California's Unruh Civil Rights Act and Unfair Competition Law. A lower court ruled that Tinder's age-based Plus pricing did not constitute discrimination, since it was based on market research showing that younger users are more cash-strapped than older users.

This would suggest that the message didn't originate from a legit exercise group, and that the spam bots so familiar to Twitter users have made their way over to our exercise apps. It was only a matter of time, I guess.

"We sought to further improve the customer experience in December by announcing a significant discount on replacement batteries for certain iPhones. We also announced that we began developing a new iOS feature to show battery health and which would recommend when the user should consider replacing their battery. These actions were taken to further assist our customers and help extend the life of their iPhones. In addition, users will be able to see if the power management feature is being used to prevent unexpected shutdowns, and turn if off if they so choose. These features will be included in a developer release next month and a user release this Spring."

Twitter user Audrey Dow ( @ADCollegeOpp ) shared a picture of her 9-year-old daughter dressed as her hero former First Lady Michelle Obama for a school project. Dow says her daughter was inspired by the former First Lady's commitment to helping students go to college, and that she sees herself in her hero.

But nowhere is this effort more apparent than on Facebook, where every Lisa Frank post is the bizarro version of a phrase you'd see printed on a mug abandoned in your office kitchen: "If I won the award for laziness, I would send somebody to pick it up for me"; "COFFEE is the most important meal of the day!"

How could they have made them in India when they hadn't even left Africa yet? Are you implying that there was another spies of humans that had evolved and went extinct, outside of Africa?

Samsung is the world's biggest chipmaker, but it doesn't control its smartphone destiny. For a decade, it's been dependent on Google for its OS. Its phone performance has often dragged as a result, because differentiating Samsung features (its "skin") have sat too heavily on Google's base layer. And it hasn't been able to create the sort of cross-Samsung convergence that it's wanted to do, in part because everything has to be laid on top of not only Android, but Google's services layer.

Nearly two-thirds of iPhone X owners would highly recommend the model to others, with another 26% somewhat recommending it. High consumer satisfaction ratings may mean that Apple's risks paid off, and may lead the Cupertino giant to return to its formerly high pace of innovation with its future models.

Reddit user charmik12 uploaded the magical photo of his dad posing with a thumbs up in front of a headline that reads "Breaking News: Trump Leaving White House." Other Reddit users, despite political differences, couldn't help but admire this classic move. Dad jokes are universal after all.

Microsoft is targeting free programs that claim to scan computers and then try to frighten users with messages that they need a paid upgrade to fix a problem with their PC.

I have found LibreOffice to be an invaluable tool for my daily grind, so when a new release is available, I immediately download and install. Most often this is fairly straightforward—at least for those with enough Linux experience to make it happen. For new users, getting the latest release of LibreOffice can be a real hair puller, unless you're using a distribution that offers bleeding edge software. Because it takes considerable time before the latest release of LibreOffice to reach the standard repositories, I wanted to walk you through the process of installing the latest version on Linux. It's only slightly challenging, but knowing the necessary commands to make it happen will ease away that challenge.

"Well, there’s all this protocol. I mean, this is like a state visit, so they tell you that you’re going to do this, they’re going to stand here. Never before do you get this gift, so I’m sort of like okay. What am I supposed to do with this gift?" Michelle asked herself.

Bushnell earned his place in gaming history for founding Atari (and later, the company that would become Chuck E. Cheese's). But books and profiles written in years and decades past have shown a pattern of sexual objectifying and harassment in Atari's workplace. In the wake of last year's reckoning of sexual harassment claims for celebrities and businessmen, this reframes Bushnell's contribution as helping propagate a boy's club norm that the gaming industry still hasn't shaken off.

Sure you can purchase software that will allow you to do just that, but if you're a Google Drive user, you already have that ability at your fingertips. That's right, Google Docs does a pretty impressive job of converting PDF documents to regular Google Docs. It's not perfect—it's more an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for PDFs and images—but if you're looking for a means to get to that precious text, this is a handy way to do just that.
