It’s a matter of “when” not “if” Rashee Rice is suspended by the NFL in the wake of his arrest for a high speed hit-and-run which resulted in a chain collision in Dallas. It’s unclear what punishment the league will hand down, with some insiders predicting it could be as much as half a season for the the second-year receiver.

Rice figured to be one of the Chiefs’...

Okay, but what exactly is “performance data?” It’s kind of unclear. But we can sort of piece it together based on what it...

Mars Express is a futuristic detective story about the autonomy of synthetic beings — which is to say, it’s the latest in a long line of sci-fi influenced by Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner. But while its premise may be familiar, the movie makes up for it with style and energy. The debut feature from director Jérémie Périn, Mars Express features absolutely stunning 2D animation, a fully realized world, and a pulse-pounding story that kept me guessing right...

Microsoft is making security its number one priority for every employee, following years of security issues and mounting criticisms.
