"To improve the mobile search experience, after January 10, 2017, pages where content is not easily accessible to a user on the transition from the mobile search results may not rank as highly."Pop-up ads that cover the "main conte...

We could even overlook the fact that your native son, Stephen King, seems to be determined to convince everyone in the world you're full of killer clowns, possessed cars, rabid St. Be ards and spooky fog that tu s people inside-out. (Well, maybe that last one was "The Simpsons.") But there's no way to overlook the 10-foot-long (3-meter) snakeskin that police in Westbrook, Maine, photographed and wa ed their citizens about in a Facebook post.[embedded content] If you read the Facebook comments, you can see that some are convinced this is a hoax, that a shed snakeskin was planted by someone wanting to freak out the community.

ادامه مطلب Next year is finally now for Cleveland Cavaliers fans.Long-suffering Ohio basketball fans rejoiced Sunday as their team defeated the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors 93-89.

"Our fans deserve it. They deserve it. I came back to our city to bring a championship." The Cavs' improbable feat brought Cle...

Slowly, about 200 men and women at the Starline Social Club, in Oakland, raised a hand and looked around in silent solidarity against what GRLCVLT calls "a culture of rape." The attendees then took action, signing petitions to remove Santa Clara County Judge Aaron Persky, who brought the inte et to a boil by sentencing a Stanford student to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. "Take my anger as just passion to want things to change," Belfast said, adding she was appalled by the sentence. "We're done with being second-class citizens."Credit social media for...

A two-year-old parakeet named Kiwi lea ed it the hard way when he taught himself how to imitate the sound of his owner saying "Hey Siri," and check it out - it actually works! Siri registers the prompt and responds with an encouraging phrase of her own: "I'm listening." Sadly, the conversation goes downhill from there. The bashful budgie appears to be at a loss for words and can't think of what to say next, and the silence gets more and more awkward as seconds pass in silence. Kiwi's problem is that he reverses the order of his voice commands. If you listen closely, you can hear him introduce himself to Siri at the start of the video befo...
