 Tesla who? Chevy Bolt kicks of 2017 with a big win
History was made at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show where the Chevrolet Bolt EV won the show's award for North American Car of the Year, making it the first time an all-electric vehicle has taken the top prize. With this new title, the Bolt continues to build on the buzz that has surrounded it since its official unveiling at CES 2016 as arguably the first mass-market friendly, fully electric car. It has also made news as being both Steve Wozniak's new car of choice and GM's autonomous guinea pig for logging self-driving miles in San Francisco and Michigan.

When the decision was made to end The Good Wife last season, star Christine Baranski admits she had trouble with the idea of letting go of Diane Lockhart, even after seven seasons in the role. Luckily, Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King weren't ready to let go of the fierce legal eagle either, choosing the character as the anchor for CBS All Access' spinoff, The Good Fight. At CBS' Television Critics Association press tour presentation on Monday, the Kings and Baranski were joined by fellow Good Wife alums Cush Jumbo (Lucca Quinn) and Sarah Steele (Marissa Gold) and new cast additions Rose Leslie, Delroy Lindo, Erica Tazel and Justin Bartha to give reporters the scoop on the new series.

Since Apple took away our headphone jacks (RIP), all we have left to lose is our wireless AirPods..literally. While Apple's wireless earbuds for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus — AirPods — may look cool, there's no denying the small, ear-sized speakers have the potential to get lost easily. An app called Finder for AirPods was created to remedy the issue, but just when we thought all our problems had been solved, Apple mustered up the "courage" to remove the app from the App Store. MacRumors reported that the app, which cost $3.99 in the App Store, was created by iOS developer Deucks to make our lives a whole lot easier. Read more...

If you hired Solange to play for Paul McCartney at your old job's going away party, you can probably get your foot in the door in the music industry. And since Obama almost certainly isn't going into online media when he leaves the White House, he'll be needing a new gig. Sensing his lack of direction, Spotify kindly pointed him towards a job listing that seems perfect for him or anyone else with "eight years experience running a highly-regarded nation" who also had Kendrick Lamar play their birthday party.
The iPhone's incredible, amazing 10-year history, in pictures
Apple's iconic computer nugget is 10 years old on Monday, and my, how it's changed. When Steve Jobs first introduced the iPhone in 2007, it was a squat, chubby gadget sold largely on the merit that you could use it as a "widescreen iPod." In the decade since, the device has evolved into arguably the most iconic bit of consumer electronics of the 21st century. Its influence is hard to overstate. Say what you will about social networks like Facebook and Twitter, and the ability to take high-def photos or livestream video with a device that fits in your pocket—none of it would exist in the forms we enjoy today without smartphones. And smartphones probably wouldn't be what they are without the iPhone leading the charge. Read more...

A powerful new video proves that young black girls are smart, capable and powerful — even in the face of unfair school policies. The video, part of the Let Her Learn campaign from the National Women's Law Center (NWLC), seeks to end school "pushout" — or the use of targeted policies to deny young people their right to education. The new PSA illuminates the racism black girls experience through school discipline practices and administrative bias — and how they're pushing back. In the U.S., black girls are suspended from school five times more than white girls. But the so-called "offenses" of the two groups of teens — often related to dress codes and behavioral policies — actually look quite similar. Read more...

Raindrop. Drop top. "Bad and Boujee" is the greatest song—full stop. Well, at least according to Donald Glover. The actor and creator behind the now Golden Globe-winning television show Atlanta took a moment during his acceptance speech on Sunday night to shoutout rap trio Migos and their hit, "Bad and Boujee." There's high likelihood that many in the audience had no idea what Glover was talking about when he called it the greatest song of all time, despite its persistence online.

Outgoing President Barack Obama sought to assure backers of clean energy that the world will continue to fight global warming — even if the next U.S. president denies that it's happening. The worldwide shift toward lower-carbon energy is "irreversible" and only gaining steam, Obama said in an article published Monday in the journal Science. President-elect Donald Trump has falsely claimed that "nobody really knows" if human activity is causing climate change and has vowed to accelerate U.S. production of fossil fuels, a policy that may undermine investments in renewable sources like solar and wind power.

LAS VEGAS — Hyperloop One's 2016 was about as good as yours: Some good moments (even great ones) and some very, very bad ones. The next-gen transportation company, which is building a unique people-mover platform based on a design by SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, had a milestone moment last spring. In the arid Las Vegas desert and with hundreds of parched journalists watching, it publicly tested the propulsion system for its planned tube-based transportation network that could cut hours-long travel between cities down to minutes. Hyperloop One estimates a trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco will take just 30 minutes. The test itself lasted just a few seconds, but Hyperloop One also spent the day proudly showcasing all the progress it was making on building the tubes and preparing for full-scale human transportation by 2021.

New York Giants really rethinking that yacht party after humiliating playoff loss
The New York Giants' season ended on Sunday — but the team's blowout loss to Green Bay in the NFL Wild Card playoffs wasn't their biggest embarrassment. It was their wild Miami yacht party. After the Giants beat Washington in the regular season finale last weekend, a handful of Giants players flew to Miami, went clubbing and ended up partying on a yacht the next day, less than a week before the playoff matchup with the Packers.

If you're an avid reader of Breitbart's European coverage, you could be forgiven for having thought a huge mob of extremist-sympathizers had burned down a German church to ring in the new year.

Technically speaking, they get a few things right. The day in question was New Year's Eve. The location was Dortmund. Some men chanted "Allahu Akhbar," which translates to "God is greater."

Streep took a flame-thrower to Trump on Sunday night during her speech at the Golden Globes, and she did it without once mentioning his name.

Marissa Mayer will be resigning from Yahoo's board of directors once its deal with Verizon is complete, a move that could mark the beginning of the end of a difficult run for one of the youngest female leaders in Silicon Valley. The company announced on Monday that Mayer would be stepping down from the board as Yahoo completes the sale of its core business to Verizon. There is some doubt, however, about whether that deal will go through.

"The breadth of the 2016 warmth is unparalleled in the nation's climate history," NOAA scientists wrote in their annual climate report. While records were toppled virtually everywhere, Alaska earned the title of having the most unusually warm year. Alaska, which is America's only Arctic state, had an average annual temperature of 31.9 degrees Fahrenheit, which was 5.9 degrees Fahrenheit above average.

Of all the unlikely animal friendships to hit the internet, this one might well be the weirdest and — considering one member is an inanimate object — the most unexpectedly heartwarming. A young Australian horse by the name of Kruzah has developed an unbreakable bond with an unnamed rubber chicken. Playing with the squeaky toy is Kruzah's favourite way to unwind, with the sprightly one-year-old spending as much of his downtime as possible flipping the plastic piece of poultry all around the place. It's particularly adorable when you take into account Kruzah was born a "dummy foal."

Those not on Team Streep started up with the #thisiswhyTrumpwon stuff. As for the subject of Streep's words, Donald Trump threw gasoline on the fire by doing what he always does: tweeting. For people who have been watching Trump battle with his critics for more than a year, the whole situation was rather predictable.

After the instructions went online — which aren’t much more difficult than pulling off the hacker equivalent of a Konami code in conjunction with a USB device and some software — NES Classic owners have been running wild, hacking their devices to include games Nintendo didn’t intend for you to play on their mini console.

It also demonstrates the potential of a type of stem cell therapy in which the cells are stimulated in place, rather than taken out, manipulated, and put back in. Read more...

Tom Hiddleston is oft referred to as charmingly awkward, but his Golden Globes acceptance speech on Sunday night veered into seriously cringe-worthy territory. Now the British actor, who won Best Actor - Mini-Series or TV Movie for his role in The Night Manager, has taken to Facebook to address criticism after his "tone deaf" speech. During the speech, he said that Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) doctors and nurses in South Sudan had binge-watched the program, saying "And the idea that I could provide ― or that we could provide ― some relief and entertainment for the people who worked for UNICEF and Médecins Sans Frontières and the World Food Program, who are fixing the world in the places where it is broken, made me immensely proud."

The early star of Monday night's college football national championship game between Alabama and Clemson played for neither the Crimson Tide nor the Tigers. No, the early star was a ref — an unusually buff ref, that is. The ref in question's name is Mike Defee, a 54-year-old who typically calls games in the Big 12 Conference. Defee is indeed particularly jacked — and his yolked-ness was amply displayed each time ESPN cameras zeroed in on him while he explained a call on the field. The peanut gallery on Twitter, of course, had a field day with a ref who looked like he could still blow up a running play in the backfield. Read more...

There's plenty of lawn bowls players in Australia and around the globe, so there's surely a world record out there for the sport. That's what Shayne Barwick thought when he sought to break a record for playing lawn bowls for the longest continuous time, in bid to help raise funds for his adored Cloncurry Bowls Club in Queensland, which he manages. Barwick's aim was 73 hours, which he thought was the number he needed to enter history, after checking the current record. Turns out the "73" was in reference to someone's age. There was no world record for singles bowling after all. Read more...

It's been less than a month since disturbing CCTV footage of a now-deceased Indigenous Australian woman's treatment in custody rattled Australia. 22-year-old Yamatji woman, Julieka Dhu, was locked up by police as a result of unpaid fines. Despite telling police that she was in huge amounts of pain, officers believed she was "faking it," calling her a "junkie" according to reports. After being sent away from hospital the first time, she died of complications relating to septicaemia and pneumonia, en route to the hospital again.

"I get inspired by getting to fly in new and unique landscapes, which is why I decided to bring the [drone] to Sydney with me," explained Greenwood to Mashable via Messenger. Better still, Greenwood's main motivation for traveling Down Under was based on that age-old impulse: revenge. "I've wanted to travel to Australia to climb Kosciuszko, because in 2008 my brother-in-law and I climbed Kilimanjaro together," Greenwood told Mashable. "Then in 2009 he climbed Kosciuszko and [was] holding it over my head that he had climbed two of the seven summits and I had only done one. I wanted to even the score." Read more...

Timepieces may be a good idea for a gift in most parts, but not in Chinese custom. Netizens are outraged that Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen received a clock on Sunday during her stopover in Houston. She was presented with a clock emblazoned with the Texas state seal, by Texas governor Greg Abbott. To the Chinese, giving a clock to someone is considered a huge no-no, as the words for "give a clock" (送鐘) sound like the ones for "attending someone's funeral." (送终) Timepieces are also considered symbols of time running out for the other party, and a suggestion of an end of a relationship. Read more...

The debate on whether India should maintain the ban on a bull-taming sporting event is far from reaching a conclusion.

Pakistan will finally start counting transgenders in its census this year
After a landmark ruling by the Lahore High Court, Pakistan will now include transgenders in its national census this March. The 2017 census is the sixth for the country and comes after a long gap of 19 years. The court's decision came after a petition was filed last November, which had called for the acknowledgement of Pakistan's marginalized transgender community, Reuters reported. While there are no official stats on the size of the third-gender population, estimates range from 80,000 to 500,000, with nearly 70,000 in the city of Karachi alone. Read more...

Meryl Streep's speech at the Golden Globes on Sunday was an arresting, heartbreaking testimony and a historic call-to-arms — for some. On stage, Streep mourned the most "stunning" performance of the year, when Trump imitated and mocked a reporter with disabilities. She then used that violent memory to enjoin Hollywood to tell more empathetic stories and protect the storytellers who produce them. Immediately, right-wing commentators on Twitter slammed the actress' speech as "liberal elitism," a way to push down "real Americans" from the heartland. For Streep, and millions of liberals like her, it was a familiar moment: their empathy and calls for compassion reflexively dismissed as coastal privilege. Read more...

A hacker threatened to release user data from an esports community site unless they paid $100,000, but the league behind the site decided it doesn't negotiate with hackers.

(ESEA also works to offer reliable servers with extra cheat-prevention security for Counter-Strike and Team Fortress 2 players for a monthly fee.) According to ESEA, the leak includes the usual suspects from these kind of data leaks—some players' usernames, email addresses, hashed passwords, hashed security question answers, and forum posts—but other, potentially more worrying data like private messages, IP addresses and phone numbers were leaked, too.

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD returns from its winter break on Jan. 10, and after a fiery batch of fall episodes courtesy of Ghost Rider (Gabriel Luna), the next story arc is taking an altogether more chilling turn. Starting with episode 409, the focus shifts to Life Model Decoys — lifelike androids that are designed to be indistinguishable from humans, like Aida (Mallory Jansen). Unbeknownst to our heroes, they already have another LMD in their midst, after the midseason finale revealed that Agent May (Ming-Na Wen) had been captured and replaced with an LMD duplicate by Aida. Since we still have no idea why Aida made the switcheroo, the implications are pretty worrying — but they're even more disconcerting in light of the final moments of episode 408, which saw the LMD version of May sharing an intimate drink with Coulson (Clark Gregg).

"I understand what Meryl Streep was trying to do, and I don't know if I could've done better in that moment, but here’s the thing I feel like we could all learn as people," Noah said about Streep's jab at football. "You don’t have to make your point by shitting on someone else’s thing, because a lot of people love football and the arts.” Read more...

Fitbit is starting off the new year just like it ended the old one: buying out its competition. The fitness tracking giant just made a deal that will add another company's portfolio to its growing stable of smartwatch assets. Vector Watch, the Romanian smartwatch maker known for slick-looking devices with month-long battery lives, on Tuesday announced its purchase by Fitbit in a deal that sounds similar to the agreement that brought Pebble into the fold. Like the Pebble purchase, the terms of the deal weren't disclosed to the public.

Home decoration has never looked so much like betrayal. After purchasing a porcelain cat statue (as one does), cat owner David Dominguez tried introducing it into his home, where another, live cat lived. Unfortunately, the new décor unleashed a monster in his own feline who decidedly was not a fan of the addition. We hope the living and the porcelain cats can find common ground and learn to live in peace. Humans will drive polar bears to extinction without climate action, feds say
Polar bears will disappear from the Arctic if the U.S. and other nations don't drastically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions soon, U.S. wildlife officials warned this week. The bears' sea-ice habitat is steadily shrinking due to human-driven global warming. That makes curbing emissions the "single most important action" to protect the species, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) said in a new report. "Make no mistake; without decisive action to address Arctic warming, the long-term fate of this species is uncertain," Greg Siekaniec, the FWS's Alaska regional director, said Monday in a news release.

With 10 years of iPhone iterations under its belt, there's immense pressure for Apple to deliver an iPhone 8 with a new design and revolutionary features that'll truly blow people away. One persistent rumor that we keep hearing about is a redesign. The latest supply chain checks from DigiTimes suggest Apple might "adopt a stainless steel forging process" for the iPhone 8's frame to go with its new glass back. "The metal bezel will be made of stainless steel using a forging process to enhance its sturdiness and reduce costs and manufacturing time," the report reads. Read more...

A total of 640 businesses and investors sent a letter to President-elect Trump and Congress on Tuesday, strongly urging continued investment in the clean energy sector. The letter, coordinated by the nonprofit group Ceres, which works with investors and companies to promote sustainability, contains big tech names like Adobe, SalesForce, eBay, HP, SolarCity, Symantec and Tesla. In addition, the list includes many skiing companies, which are worried about losing their business in a warming world, eco-aware retailers like Patagonia and Levi Strauss & Company.

Julian Assange talked for a long time in a video Reddit AMA on Tuesday, but he didn't have too much to say on the big questions. WikiLeaks' proposed database of everyone verified on Twitter? A "false story." Criticism from the press or politicians? "Ad-hominem attacks." And Russia? On the receiving end of "critical" WikiLeaks' document dumps, just like the United States. The WikiLeaks founder, who has been living in political asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since 2012, answered questions via live video on Reddit. The AMA didn't go in depth on allegations that WikiLeaks released documents obtained by the Russian government's alleged hack of the Democratic National Committee in the United States. Assange didn't talk much about President-elect Donald Trump or his ties to Russia, either. Read more...

After not one, but two people accidentally conflated Hidden Figures and Fences at Sunday's Golden Globes, relentless jokes were inevitable.

Amy Schumer to make Netflix debut with new comedy special
Welcome to Netflix, Amy Schumer. The award-winning standup comedian, sketch writer and movie star will debut her latest comedy special on Netflix March 7. “As a comedian, actress, writer, director, producer and best-selling author, Amy Schumer is a boundless threat and a one-of-a-kind talent. We couldn’t be more excited that she’s making Netflix her home for her next stand-up comedy special,” said Netflix's Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos in a press release. Schumer recorded the special in New York on Nov. 5, 2016, just shy of three months after the publication of her first book, The Girl WIth the Lower Back Tattoo. Her last special was released in Oct. 2015, equally spaced from the cinematic release of Trainwreck. Read more...

LONDON — It's not every day you spot a well-dressed sheep casually cruising around London in the back of a car. For journalist Tara Conlan, though, Sunday was clearly not a typical day.
So many questions. Aside from the fact sheep don't often ride around in cars, there was the conundrum of its fashionable attire.
Apple says a bug messed up Consumer Reports' MacBook Pro battery tests
Consumer Reports sparked controversy late last month when it put out a report saying it couldn't recommend Apple's new MacBook Pros on account of inconsistent battery life. Naturally, Apple sprang into defense mode with Phil Schiller, the company's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, taking issue with the non-profit organization's testing methods. Schiller said Apple would work with Consumer Reports to understand their battery tests. Well, it looks like Apple's figured out why Consumer Reports' MacBook Pro battery tests didn't match its own.

The last time we saw Mellie Grant on Scandal, she was waiting to hear whether she would be the next president of the United States. But the storyline of the fictional First Lady — played by Bellamy Young — is not driven by real life, creator and EP Shonda Rhimes said at ABC's Television Critics Association presentation Tuesday. "I don’t think the candidates have any similarities to the candidates in real life. I don't really equate the two," Rhimes said of comparing the characters on ABC's popular show and former Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton and President-Elect Donald Trump. Read more...

The internet is a brutal place for female journalists. It is especially bad for women who find themselves the target of a particularly aggressive brand of harassment for which there seem to be no lines left to cross. Right now, few people on the internet — if any — are enduring abuse on the same level as Lauren Duca. And nobody is enduring that kind of abuse with more boldness or zeal.
Duca, a freelance journalist who has bylines in The New Yorker, Vice, Teen Vogue and many more publications, appeared on Fox News in December opposite Tucker Carlson to discuss a news story about Ivanka Trump and her family being heckled while on a commercial flight.

Freeform is bringing another Bachelor spin-off to its network. The network, formerly known as ABC Family, announced Tuesday at the Television Critics Association that Bachelor Season 20 alums Emily and Haley Ferguson will helm their own series. Titled The Twins: Happily Ever After?, the show will follow the sisters — who competed against one another for Ben Higgins' love — in their daily lives. The Las Vegas, Nevada, natives — who were also on Season three of Bachelor in Paradise — will "say goodbye to the comfort and luxuries of living under their mom’s roof and begin the hilarious journey of figuring out life on their own while searching for independence and a new career," Freeform said in a release Tuesday.

The apocalypse has arrived for Monopoly tokens. Hasbro's public voting is officially open for Monopoly Token Madness. The votes will determine the classic board game's new lineup of player figurines, with winners to be announced on March 19, also known as World Monopoly Day. SEE ALSO: CES 2017: Winners and losers The lineup of tokens has shifted multiple times since Monopoly launched in 1935. The most recent change, in 2013, replaced the original's clothing iron with a user-voted cat figurine. This new vote differs because none of the existing tokens are safe anymore. There are 64 up for the vote, including the eight pieces — cat, dog, thimble, shoe, wheelbarrow, race car, battleship, and top hat — packed in with current versions of the game. Read more...

In five years, people looking up at the night sky might see something very special. If one prediction is correct, in 2022 (give or take a year), two stars merging and exploding 1,800 light-years from Earth will become an incredibly bright light in the constellation Cygnus, rivaling the brightness of some of the most luminous stars in the sky. "It’s a one-in-a-million chance that you can predict an explosion," astronomer Larry Molnar, one of the scientists behind the prediction, said in a statement. "It’s never been done before."

Speedrunner Skavenger216 stumbled on a brand new glitch in Blaster Master on Monday that let him skip a boss level entirely, but it still wasn't enough to finish first in a 1v1 race. Instead of encountering Crabullus, the boss of the game's second area that you can see on ShiningDragoon's screen at the beginning of the video, Skavenger walked into the room and grabbed the Crusher Beam weapon that normally drops after finishing the fight. Everyone watching was visibly surprised:
Germany is worried fake news could sway its upcoming election
As the United States examines the role false news stories and alleged Russian hacking might have played in deciding the outcome of its election, Germany is hoping to avoid a similar situation. German officials said Monday that the government is launching an investigation into the spread of fake news online as intelligence reports warn of a possible Russian plot to sway its election this fall, Reuters reports. A spokesperson for Germany's BfV domestic intelligence agency said in a press briefing that the problem has reached "a dimension that we have not seen before," according to the wire service.

Forget scented candles and hot tea, all we need to do to relax is watch this perfect circle of ice slowly spin atop the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River near North Bend, Washington. On Jan. 7, the rare and stunning sight — a result of water flowing around and spinning a sheet of ice against surrounding ice — was captured in a hypnotic 55-second video that you'll probably want to replay over and over again. Thank you, Mother Nature, for this beautifully smooth ice disc. Rick and his group will be 'tested' like never before on 'The Walking Dead'
We still have a little over a month of waiting until The Walking Dead returns for the second half of Season 7. But AMC has taken pity on us and released an intriguing new synopsis for the next batch of episodes in which Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his group prepare to take the fight to Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his Saviors. Here's what AMC has to say about the show's new direction: Spencer was already undermining Rick's leadership in the first half of the season. Negan repaid that treachery by literally spilling Spencer's guts all over the street, but the summary certainly makes it seem like someone else's trustworthiness may be in doubt as we head toward the finale.

Less than two weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration, many of us are still having a hard time understanding the story of what just happened to America. It is, after all, a supremely improbable tale. A reality-TV personality with no political experience and a string of bankruptcies on his resume built, in the space of a year, a racist cult represented by a frog? I can buy that. Almost. But the notion that this same cult leader was elected president with the help of Russian hackers, rogue FBI agents and an online army of bots and fake-news writers? There was a time this outlandish plot might have been considered a poor mashup of Hunter S. Thompson and George R.R. Martin, and laughed off the shelves at your local Barnes & Noble. Read more...

Will Apple deliver AR glasses in 2017?
Apple will do something with Augmented Reality. That’s not rumor or innuendo. Apple CEO Tim Cook repeatedly expressed his strong interest in the technology over the more isolating virtual reality over the last 12 months. Apple acquired an AR company over a year ago. And 2017 promises to be a very big year for the iPhone. Why wouldn’t Apple bring its own brand of mixed reality to its flagship product? That all makes sense. Robert Scoble’s report does not. Scoble is a tech industry expert and veteran who knows everyone and, as of late, has been nestled deep in the world of virtual reality. Like me, he was at CES in early January looking for new and inspiring technologies. When you walk the floor, go to parties and rub elbows with old contacts, you hear thingsScoble heard something a few days ago. Read more...

Getting your hair caught in anything can hurt, but getting your hair caught in the moving propellers of a drone must be the worst. Sheena, the woman in this video, told Mashable that the drone ended up in her hair after her husband, Matthew, decided to land it on her back. Next thing she knew, the drone flew up, got caught in her hair and Matthew began filming the whole debacle. Then, their innocent young daughter got hold of the remote, fiddled with the controls and got Sheena's hair further caught into the device. Luckily, Sheena only had to cut out a small piece of knotted hair, while her husband was cut on the hand by the flying hair deathtrap. She warns that these things could seriously hurt someone.

Aziz Ansari will host Saturday Night Live on Jan. 21, the program announced Tuesday. The actor — best known for his work on Parks and Recreation and Netflix's Master of None — is also an accomplished stand up. It wasn't immediately clear what project Ansari will be promoting; a Season 2 premiere date for Master of None has not been set but is expected later this year. In September, Ansari and showrunner Alan Yang won an Emmy for outstanding writing in a comedy series for their work on that show. Fun fact: It will be the first episode of SNL after Donald Trump is sworn in as president, so that's something! Read more...
