Four days ago, the official Summer Game Fest website updated with a May 12 listing for “Sunrise #1,” which reads, “Join Geoff Keighley for a surprise game reveal.” There were no hints as to what this new game announcement could be, which has understandably led to a wildly diverse range of rumors. The rumors were apparently getting out of hand and Geoff Keighley decided to say something. RELATED: Xbox Holding Several Summer Game Fest Events...
That’s not the only change to the singing competition. There will be no studio audience when each of the coaches’ chosen team members face-off in the Knockouts or Battle Rounds, either. And there’s a big chance that there also won’t be a live audience when the top contestants sing for their chance of being crowned The Voice’s Season 19 winner at the Live shows. “At this point, we don’t have plans to bring a live in-person audience into the show for this season yet....
The UK’s Royal Mail has warned of a spate of text messages and emails which trick residents into handing over their bank details to fraudsters. The scams come in various formats but they all have a common theme: your parcel couldn’t be delivered and you need to take action in order to get it. Whether you receive and email or an SMS, you’ll be told that either you owe a small amount of money for customs fees or that you were out and a new delivery date needs to be arranged, again at a cost of a couple of pounds....
Bitdefender has just published a report on serious vulnerabilities in Wyze home security cameras that, if left untreated, could enable hackers to tap into their camera feeds. With the smart home market expected to balloon to $3.27 billion in 2022, it’s no surprise that these smart devices are increasingly becoming popular targets for cybercriminals. “When looking to purchase new security or IoT gear for the home, users should first do their due diligence beyond just price comparison,” Dan Berte, Director, IoT Security at Bitdefender, told Lifewire over email....
Astronomers Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) and Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) discover that a massive comet is headed towards Earth and will strike the planet in about 6 months. It is a crippling discovery for DiCaprio and Lawrence’s characters because of its extinction level implications, and they are quick to consult NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office head Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe (Rob Jordan) about the next steps. In any other movie, Dibiasky and Mindy bring the information to the President, they call up Bruce Willis and a team of oil drillers, and the planet is saved 2 hours later....
Nearly 14 years ago, Timberlake tore open Jackson’s blouse at the end of the Super Bowl 38 halftime show — exposing her right breast to nearly 150 million TV viewers. The infamous “wardrobe malfunction” was only visible for a split-second, but all hell broke loose around the league and CBS. The fallout continues to this day.

As with Morrowind and Oblivion before it, Bethesda releasing the official developer tool kit will let players create, add, alter anything in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The good news is that it’s still on track to release by the end of January. While it could be a while before Bethesda releases official DLC expansions for Skyrim, expansions which they emphasize are ‘substantial,’ PC players will soon be able to essentially get their own free (and limitless) DLC via mods created by the community, not unlike what we see from the LittleBigPlanet games, but without any restrictions....
Grant, 46, was put to death by lethal injection shortly after 10 a.m. CST at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. A doctor pronounced him dead at 10:16 a.m, a state corrections spokesman said. His execution marked the first in the United States in 2022, and the state’s third since lethal injections resumed in October 2021, after a nearly seven-year hiatus. He was sentenced to death for the murder of the two hotel workers—Brenda McElyea, 29, and Felicia Suzette Smith, 43—at LaQuinta Inn in Del City on July 18, 2001....
On Monday morning, Devin Nunes, the CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), said Trump likely would not make a reappearance if his account were to be reinstated. Nunes told Maria Bartiromo on Mornings with Maria that Trump “really doesn’t have an interest in going on Twitter.” Twitter could soon change ownership, as The Wall Street Journal has reported that the two parties “could finalize a deal as soon as this week....
Lawyers for the panel looking into the events leading up to the insurrection have listed a number of ways they claim show how Trump and his allies engaged in potential illegal acts to defraud the American people over the election results and then attempted to prevent Congress from certifying his defeat. The filings are the most detailed outline of potential crimes committed by Trump laid out by the panel....
Conley said in a memorandum published Tuesday: “He [Trump] had a restful first night at home and today [Tuesday] he reports no symptoms. Vital signs and physical exam remain stable, with an ambulatory oxygen saturation level of 95 to 97 percent. Overall he continues to do extremely well, I will provide updates as we know more.” Though Trump “may not entirely be out of the woods yet,” Conley said at a Monday press briefing, “the president has continued to improve....
Agents entered Mar-a-Lago on August 8 as part of an investigation into a number of possible crimes, including a potential breach of the Espionage Act. The raid sparked a furious reaction from Trump and his political allies, some of whom argued the operation was politically motivated. On Monday, the former president predicted the investigation will boost Republicans at the upcoming November midterms. Posting on his Truth Social website, he said: “Republicans could win many additional seats, both in the House & Senate, because of the strong backlash over the raid at [Mar]-a-Lago....
Trump Jr. made the remarks during the “America UnCancelled” event hosted by the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Texas on Friday. The son of former President Donald Trump denounced the nation’s top doctor while speaking about the “propagandists” working in what he called the formerly “honorable institution” of journalism. Trump Jr. insisted that Fauci is merely a “bureaucrat” and that members of the press who suggest otherwise are being deceptive....
“David Shafer did a phenomenal job as Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, recruiting and training a record number of volunteers,” Trump wrote in a Wednesday statement. “No one in Georgia fought harder for me than David! He NEVER gave up! He has my Complete and Total Endorsement for re-election.” In December 2020, Shafer joined Trump in filing a lawsuit seeking to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election results in Trump’s favor....
At a Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix on Saturday, Trump repeated his complaint that Pence could have done more to stop the certification of his electoral defeat on January 6. “I only wish that my friend, Mike Pence, had that additional courage to send the results back to the legislatures, because it all happened so quickly,” Trump said to loud boos from the audience. “You know, they schemed on this plan for four years,” the former president claimed....
Following the Republican National Convention, where Trump officially accepted the party’s nomination to run in 2020, the president has seen incremental gains in his standing among the public, according to polling. In YouGov’s latest approval polling, conducted among 1,000 people on August 30, 46 percent asked approved compared to 49 who disapproved. Among the same number of respondents the day before, he was at 42 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval....

The British actor, who is most famous for playing renegade detective Jimmy McNulty in The Wire, saying he even “leapt with joy” at the news. Speaking during an appearance on U.K. TV show Good Morning Britain, West said of the diagnosis: “Well I did slightly leap in the air with joy.” The Affair actor told the hosts: “He said ‘it is what it is’, and I think the phrase is ‘what goes around comes around....
Democracies can’t easily make present sacrifices to avoid future menaces. We require (it seems) a clear and present danger, if not a crisis, to stir us to action. This is why we won’t soon mobilize against global warming. The politics simply won’t compute. To do something effective would require a heavy energy tax or its equivalent. A good round figure for a tax is $100 per ton of carbon; this would raise gasoline prices an estimated 26 cents a gallon and electricity and natural-gas rates by almost 30 percent....
Bale has netted twice from two free-kicks in the ongoing Euro 2016 and he could become the first ever footballer to score three in a single European Championship. On the other hand, his Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo – renowned for his powerful strikes – has failed to find the target from five free-kick chances in the tourney, reported goal.com. Asked if his success with the free-kicks was due to Ronaldo’s advice, Bale said: “No, not really....
