Walking and talking: Dolls may soon come equipped with “social behavior” chips, endowing them with the ability to “talk” to one another (they’d also be linked wirelessly). The toys might walk on legs made from polymer gels, which bend in response to laser signals. In this world, Barbies might have tea parties, maybe even start to eye the G.I. Joe next door. Hugging dolls: Eventually dolls and other toys may achieve even more sophisticated personalities....
In 2014, Next Level Games announced that it would be working exclusively with Nintendo. Since that statement, two games were released under its joint umbrella, those being Metroid Prime: Federation Force on the 3DS and Luigi’s Mansion 3 on the Switch. While Federation Force didn’t see commercial or critical success, Luigi’s Mansion 3 was received enthusiastically and solidified the relationship between Next Level Games and Nintendo. It also managed to win a number of awards at various shows....
That’s according to leaked sources over on the Moore’s Law Is Dead YouTube channel. It seems as though AMD could be interested in supplying a potential new Steam Deck with a Ryzen APU. In this case, the chip could well feature Zen 4 and RDNA 3 architectures. The video goes on to say that this “Little Phoenix” APU will have four cores and eight threads. It could also provide 10-20% boost rates over the current RDNA 2 tech....
So why did LG make the latest Nexus not as current in terms of the connectivity? Some say that it’s because Google wants to give consumers the freedom to use any wireless carrier connection on its phone. Given that the iPhone 5 supports 4G LTE, does Google’s flagship smartphone lose considerable points in this competition? The Nexus 4 features a gorgeous 4.7-inch display on a Gorilla Glass back cover, giving it an expensive feel....
The €222million superstar scored twice and assisted another goal as Unai Emery’s side continued their stunning Champions League form this season. With 24 goals scored and five wins from as many games, including a 3-0 thrashing of Bayern Munich, PSG have emerged among the favourites to rule Europe this season after several years of trying to get a foothold on the continent. The arrivals of Alves and Neymar - who enjoyed stunning success at Barcelona - has done plenty to raise the expectations, but the forward has lived up to the hype, having a hand in 21 goals in 14 appearances already this term across all competitions....
The U.S. men’s national team attacker spent five years at the Parc des Princes, rising through the capital club’s academy right up to the first team. However, once there, he understandably found minutes somewhat hard to come by at a club that features attacking megastars like Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria. And so, at the age of 19, Weah swapped the glitz and glamour of PSG for more modest goals at Lille....
Neymar, 26, has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid at the end of the campaign despite having spent just a season at PSG. The Brazil star made a world-record €222million switch from Barcelona to the Ligue 1 giants in August last year. Despite reports Neymar could return to Spain, Al-Khelaifi said there was no chance of the star forward leaving. “Who said he cannot stay here? Did anyone say that?...
FC Zurich forward Stephen Odey and two African Nations Championship silver-medal winners, Ikouwem Udoh and Nur Mohammed, complete the trio jostling for the honours, but which of the three are favourite for the maiden prize? Stephen Odey As awards go, with its contemporary value on numbers over dazzling impacts, Odey is perhaps the frontrunner of the three nominees. The hitman’s 18 goals for MFM in the 2016-17 season was enough to get them on track for a first continental spot, which also saw the city of Lagos compete against Africa’s finest for the first time in 14 years....
Derrick Henry’s monster game against Deshaun Watson’s stubborn Houston Texans (250 yards, 7.4 YPC and 2 TD’s) means he now becomes the first 2,000-yard triple crown winner – leading the NFL in carries, yards and TDs – since Simpson, who did it all the way back in 1973. The Complete Legacy Of Derrick Henry Derrick Henry In High School Derrick Henry now has one of the most complete resumes in the history of his position....
Most fans on social media called out Stafford for the careless way he handled the whole situation. He just walked away after the woman fell, without bothering to help her. Many Rams fans pointed out that Stafford may have just been too drunk to recognize what had happened But a new development has occurred. It appears that the young woman in question, Kelly Smiley, is a racist. Carita Parks tweeted out this information about Smiley....
The win over New York was significant in another way, too. It was San Diego’s fifth straight point-spread cover to begin the 2014 season. In the topsy-turvy world of pro football handicapping, the Chargers were performing like sure things. It was too good to be true, of course. Since defeating the Jets, the Chargers haven’t covered the point spread in six tries. They have, however, managed to win three of those games, with their 27-24 escape vs....
This year’s draft class does not have a ton of hype surrounding it, but it’s well balanced and loaded with talent that will make some noise this season. Falcons wide receiver Drake London was the first of six WRs to be taken in the first round. London will likely see a ton of targets, as the Falcons lack playmakers at the wide receiver spot. However, there are a few guys who were selected later in the draft (Romeo Doubs, Skyy Moore, and Jalen Tolbert), who will also make some plays for their respective teams and ultimately pay off bettors and fantasy football owners alike....
Some difficult decisions will have to be made in order to cut down to 53 men, but it has to be be done. Patriots coach Bill Belichick gave his thoughts on the approaching deadline Friday during a conference call, providing insight on how he goes about determining what’s best for New England. Belichick has won six Super Bowls with the franchise, so it’s safe to say he knows what he’s doing....
The Jets start Day Three off by selecting Oklahoma WR Jalen Saunders (5’9?, 165 lbs), 104th overall. The team finally addresses the wide receiver position, with a player that has only gotten better and bigger, throughout his college career. NFL Network Reaction Mike Mayock: “He knows when to get down. He’s quick. Can play in the slot or on the outside. Charles Davis: “Best thing about him: the return game....
The two-sport star boasts all the credentials to be Arizona’s next starter after the team finished last season with a league-worst 3-13 record and missed the playoffs for the third straight year. Murray led Oklahoma to a 12-2 record as he threw for 4,361 yards with 42 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2018. He also ran for 1,001 yards and capped off his final collegiate season by winning the Heisman Trophy....
The combined overnight TV rating for Round 1 coverage across ESPN, ESPN2, Fox Sports and NFL Network Thursday night was 8.4, just behind the combined 8.7 for the first round of the 2014 draft, when Jadeveon Clowney went No. 1 to the Texans and “Johnny Football” plummeted to the Browns at No. 22. But it’s significantly higher than the 6.7, 6.3 and 6.5 combined ratings on ESPN/NFL Network the past three years, according to Austin Karp of SportsBusiness Daily....
A handful of trades involving 2020 NFL Draft picks has shaken up the order for all seven rounds, leaving teams like the Dolphins an embarrassment of riches with 14 selections (including six in the first three rounds) and teams like the Saints with only five. NFL MOCK DRAFT 2020:Patriots, Raiders, Cowboys go defense; Bucs, Chargers go QB Below is the complete NFL Draft order for 2020 now that compensatory picks have been awarded, plus a list of picks for all 32 teams....
That conversation will undoubtedly start with Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence — who is favored to be the No. 1 pick in next year’s draft. Lawrence will look to play in a third straight College Football Playoff championship game next season. He will have company, however. Ohio State’s Justin Fields was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2019 and has the numbers to prove it. Of course, Alabama will again be well-represented in the 2021 NFL Draft....
