The New York Times stands to benefit big time from a Trump lawsuit


Donald Trump might sue the New York Times. The Times might just want that to happen.


If Trump sues the Times over its reporting, the Republican nominee for president risks opening up his personal life to lawyers, providing access that would otherwise be private. He’d also almost certainly be the subject of a deposition, in which he, his family and many others would have to answer questions under oath about his behavior with women.

“It’s his butler. It’s the help around him generally. It’s his kids. It’s his ex wife. It’s his girlfriends if you can identify them … it’s all that stuff,” said Stuart Karle, general counsel at North Base Media and an adjunct professor at the Columbia School of Journalism. “It would just be a rich vain of yuck about Donald Trump.” …

Like the blur effect on the Apple iPhone 7 Plus? New app brings it to the iPhone 7 and older models


If you own the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, you’ve probably fooled around with the Portrait mode. In combination with the dual-camera setup on the back of the device, this allows you to blur the background of certain pictures using the depth of field gimmicks available with the model. But suppose you own the Apple iPhone 7. There is only one camera on the back of the unit. You can’t mess around with depth of field using just one camera, or can you?


A new app expected to launch any day now will not only offer the depth of field and bokeh effects to iPhone 7 users, it will work on models as old as … – Source

While the IPO market roars back, venture remains leery


The IPO market is poised to make an almost complete 180° turnaround after a bleak Q1 and a very quiet summer. In contrast, venture capital investments, which had recalibrated alongside the IPO market in the second half of last year, have remained sedate, with a clear flight to quality; fewer rounds, for higher quality companies, with larger check sizes.

Meet the new kids of 'Stranger Things' Season 2


Stranger Things is beefing up its cast for Season 2. The Netflix hit is adding a Power Ranger and Broadway star as series regulars for its sophomore outing, the streaming service announced Friday.


Sadie Sink has been cast in the role of Max, a tough and confident girl whose appearance, behavior and pursuits seem more typical of boys than of girls in this era. She has a complicated history and is generally suspicious of those around her.

Dacre Montgomery will play Billy, Max’s hyper-confident and edgy older step-brother. He steals girlfriends from their boyfriends, is great at drinking games and drives a black Camaro. But lurking under his apparent charisma is a violent and unpredictable nature. …

An open letter from your pumpkin, which is actually a fruit, not a vegetable


Hey there, friend.


We’ve just met but I’m your pumpkin. Maybe you bought be at the grocery store or at the produce stand down the block. Maybe you found me in a patch amongst many other pumpkins. And you chose me. I’m really happy about that.


I’m not too big. I’m heavy. I’m round. I’m orange. I look so cute on your doorstep or window sill or dining room table surrounded by other decorative gourds.


But something you said, sometime between the cash register and loading up the car, made me feel very confused. You mentioned that pumpkins are your favorite fall vegetable.



But I’m a fruit. I have always been a fruit. A deeply misunderstood fruit. …
