That’s a serious indictment of one of the firms that sparked the PC boom of the last decade. Compaq was started in 1981 by three former Texas Instruments employees who sketched a plan on a restaurant napkin for a clone of the first IBM personal computer. Rosen, a Wall Street analyst turned venture capitalist, invested $2.5 million and became chairman. When the company slumped 10 years later, he ousted the founders and promoted Pfeiffer, who placed the popular Presario line of computers in millions of homes and turned Compaq into a $31-billion-a-year powerhouse....

A well-known figure in the English Premier League, Di Canio arrived from Lazio for 1.5 million and played a pivotal role in helping West Ham United secure European qualification. He was awarded the FIFA Fair Play award in 2001, and his goal against Wimbledon was voted as the Premiership’s goal of the decade by a Sky Sports News poll. At Swindon, Di Canio helped achieve promotion to League One and caused an upset by beating Wigan in an FA Cup tie....

The House of Representatives released a resolution Monday to impeach Trump, charging him with “incitement of insurrection” after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 to protest the congressional certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s win. The chamber is expected to vote on the matter later this week. Trump has received a bipartisan backlash for his role in the riot, as lawmakers argue he misled millions of people by making false allegations of voter fraud and election irregularities....

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has denied a report that he discussed a pardon with the president but he’s been mentioned for some time as one possible recipient. The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Trump is considering pre-emptive pardons for his children and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, while many have suggested he’ll even try to pardon himself. Glenn Kirschner, legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, has argued that Trump’s pardons could be challenged....

The Nerazzurri had seen Brazilians like De Lima ‘O Fenômeno’ Ronaldo, Adriano ’ L’imperatore’ Ribeiro, and Maicon ‘Il Colosso’ Sisenado light up the San Siro, and hopes were high for the wunderkind. However, what followed was a disappointing season which saw him net his first goal on 19 February in a 1-0 win against Bologna, making just 9 Serie A appearances. Italy wasn’t proving to be fertile ground as he struggled for form and game time amid managerial changes that held various degrees of preference levels for the lad....

Why It Works In both cases, an obscure but successful (and surprisingly moderate) small-state governor shocks by galvanizing a crucial, impassioned constituency dissatisfied with its party’s better-known nominees. For Huck, that’s the religious right; for Dean, it was the antiwar left. The result: a near tripling in national polls from summer to fall. Why It Doesn’t Dean was ahead nationally among Dems in December 2003; Huck still trails Rudy Giuliani by double digits....

It is thought that SARS-CoV-2, the name of the virus which causes COVID-19 (not to be confused with the SARS virus), infects its victims in three main ways, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: The bug can spread between people who are in close contact, within about 6 feet. It can be carried in droplets expelled by the coughs and sneezes of the sick which come into contact with the mouths or noses of others, or possibly inhaled....

“I never will question God’s reasoning,” Newton wrote. “Just will always respond with, ‘Yes Lord’!! I appreciate all the love, support and well wishes!! I will take this time to get healthy and self reflect on all the other AMAZING THINGS THAT I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR!!” Newton concluded his Instagram caption with two hashtags: #shineTHRUtheSHADE and #notFORlikesJUSTforLOVE. He signed his message 1OVE, a play on “love” using his uniform No....

Ryan Kalil, Greg Olsen, Luke Kuechly and Newton’s other Panthers teammates made a hilarious shot-by-shot parody of it while on a camping trip at Lake Toxaway, North Carolina.

But a video that surfaced Sunday shows 10-year NFL veteran Cam Newton showing considerable patience — and restraint — with what appears to be a mouthy football camper. It’s uncertain when or where the video was recorded, but it likely occurred in the last year, considering the child repeatedly used the refrain, “You’re a free agent.” The video, which originates from TikTok, shows the unnamed kid continue to trash-talk Newton, calling him “a—,” saying he is “poor” and repeating he is — or is about to become — a free agent....

Boyce died “due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition,” his family told ABC News late Saturday. The Los Angeles native and childhood actor was set to appear in the upcoming HBO show, Mrs. Fletcher, and his past Disney castmates offered their condolences to the family over his sudden death. The childhood actor widely known for his roles on Disney Channel shows Descendants and Jessie died in his sleep Saturday, the family confirmed to ABC....

Most of us have shared the same message with friends and loved ones living with breast cancer. But, while these messages are meant to be helpful, according to studies, they are neither constructive nor accurate. They place a burden on the person with cancer, who has enough on his/her plate trying to cope with fear, side-effects, financial worries, and the impact of cancer on their family. A diagnosis of cancer brings with it a range of emotions that make attaining and keeping a positive attitude an unrealistic challenge....

The Spanish outfit, managed by Jonatan Giraldez, head into the showdown with the French league leaders after completing a perfect league season, winning all 30 of their matches this campaign. Remarkably, they have won 43 of their 44 matches across all competitions, only falling to Wolfsburg in the UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinal second leg 2-0 — and that was only after they had won the first leg 5-1....

Quakecon is the annual games showcase by Bethesda and associating studios. Quakecon 2021 is the first exclusive Bethesda event, following the Xbox buyout. Previous Quakecon has had many notable announcements including the Doom Eternal gameplay reveal and the Fallout 4 gameplay reveal behind closed doors. While the announced schedule does not mention anything related to Wolfenstein, fans are hopeful for the third and final entry to the 2014 reboot....

EA tried to mimic the success of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 by bringing it to the iPhone/iTouch and it was not pretty. Poor controls and weak multiplayer infrastructure prevented it from being a worthy pickup and its successor, was even worse. Now however, DICE is hiring devs to help develop a mobile game, one based on their big franchise (guess what that is) that would help expand it from just HD platforms to touchscreen devices....

Are gin-soaked raisins the natural cure that some people claim or simply a myth with little evidence to support the claims? This article gets to the bottom of the evidence. Origins Like many folk remedies, it is difficult to trace the origin of gin-soaked raisins. The idea has likely been around for a long time but got its first real boost in the 1990s when radio personality Paul Harvey mentioned the remedy on one of his popular broadcasts....

Get odds on Watford-Liverpool The Germany international is into the final year of his deal and discussions over a new agreement have proved to be problematic. Juventus have been linked with a move for the 23-year-old but Klopp is confident they are close to a breakthrough. “You can imagine we’re involved in talks and we all feel good and confident in this moment,” he told the Liverpool Echo. City step up Mbappe interest...

That perception has taken root across the country. The president’s once ambitious reform agenda has been blocked by a hostile Congress. The economy is a mess, partly because of the global recession. But top industrialists have lately begun blaming Fox as well; just recently, the head of the Alfa Group, one of the country’s largest conglomerates, publicly railed against what he called “the ineptitude of the current administration.” Once chummy relations with the United States have chilled over Iraq and Washington’s reluctance to sign a sweeping immigration accord....

However, that came to an abrupt end in the third round at Wimbledon when she suffered a shock 5-6 2-6 defeat to Alize Cornet as the Polish star made 33 unforced errors. Swiatek’s sensational run has seen her win titles at Indian Wells, the Miami and Italian Opens as well as Roland Garros, where she only dropped one set in seven matches. Her two Grand Slam titles have come at the French Open where she has only lost twice in her entire career....
