Here's a scenario for Windows users who like to operate in full multitasking mode. You launch your email and then open a couple of messages. From there you kick off your Web browser and check out a few different websites. Then you remember that Word document you need to finish, so you open up Microsoft Word. Your Word doc ties in with an Excel spreadsheet, so you open Excel. Now you need to scan a paper file to add to your Word doc, so you launch your scanner software. In the meantime, you receive a couple more emails you want to check out. At this point, though, your screen is cluttered with so many windows and apps that you can't easily find the ones you need.

Tesla Inc boss Elon Musk emerged victorious from a defamation trial as a federal court jury swiftly rejected the $190 million claim brought against him by a British cave explorer who Musk had branded a "pedo guy" on Twitter. The unanimous verdict by a jury of five women and three men was returned after roughly 45 minutes of deliberation on the fourth day of Musk's trial. The case has been closely watched by legal experts because it is believed to be the first major defamation lawsuit by a private individual to go to trial over tweets. The outcome was a triumph for Musk, whose mercurial behavior in a number of instances last year came under close scrutiny from federal regulators and shareholders of Tesla, his Silicon Valley-based electric car manufacturer. L. Lin Wood, a high-profile trial lawyer who led the legal team for the plaintiff, Vernon Unsworth, said the jury's decision signals a higher legal threshold for challenging libelous material on social media. "This verdict … [Read more...] about Elon Musk wins defamation trial sparked by ‘pedo guy’ tweet

It's come to this. I fit the heavy, block-shaped Mayan calendar into the Monolith's stone door, twisting it in place. I insert a stone key, detailed with Mayan glyphs, and the ancient tomb creaks open. I stumble back, startled by the skeleton of a 7th-century scribe, fear frozen on her mummified face. Trembling, I step inside to reach for the notes she holds -- secrets of the ancient world -- but they're blank! Suddenly, I'm shoved from behind into the tomb, the papers snatched from my hands as the door slams shut, throwing me into darkness. I'll run out of air if I don't do something quickly. I need to find some way to escape. Is there something glinting in the mouth of the skeleton? I reach in and -- "I'm not going to tell you again to log off and go to bed. It's a school night."  This is the third time my mom has told me to get off the computer, but I'm about to crack the case. Catch the culprit. Unlock secrets as old as history itself. Sure, I might be tired at school … [Read more...] about First Nancy Drew game in five years wants to teach us to be badass sleuths all over again
