Vladeck questioned the ethics of X’s terms in comments quoted by NPR. “For X to say we want all of our litigation to go into a forum that may have no connection to where we’re located, to where plaintiffs are located, runs headlong into the federal system’s preference for convenience,” Vladeck was quoted as saying. “Are we going to allow companies to override that principle of convenience in the name of trying to stack the deck in their favor whenever they have the power to get you to agree to terms of service?” Legal precedents help X Fitzpatrick said that…

The Q6 E-tron’s interior also represents a change of tack for Audi. Most of the physical buttons have gone, and so has the lower screen for controlling the climate and secondary functions that you got in the Q8 E-tron. Instead, they have all been replaced with one big, curved screen that consists of a 11.9in driver display and a 14.5in touchscreen infotainment system. Audi calls it the MMI panoramic display. Optionally, the passenger gets a separate touchscreen too. This is, in our view, a significant backwards step, from both usability and design appeal perspectives. The touchscreen itself runs the familiar…

And so, in replacement of the EV6’s original oversized-looking two-spoke wheel (which always seemed needlessly bulky to us) comes a neater-looking three-spoke design with a smaller central boss. The rim is similarly dimensioned, so doesn’t impart any particular change to steering input, and its controls are mostly grouped on each lateral spoke, just as they were. Elsewhere around the cabin, some new materials are used on the roll-top dash, door cards and seats, and some new ambient lighting features too. But, for the most…

Rolly Crump had an outsized reputation. A rebel in the Disney fold. A beatnik. An unapologetic tell-it-like-it-is you-know-what. Crump, who died last year at the age of 93, also forever changed the look of Disneyland. His art can be found in the Enchanted Tiki Room and, along with close friend and fellow artist Mary Blair, throughout It’s a Small World. Crump’s style possessed a larger-than-life whimsy and circus-like loudness, and it caught the eye of Walt Disney, who plucked Crump from animation and one day assigned him what would become arguably the most recognizable clock in Southern California.

All in, the powertrain sends a combined 1184bhp to all four wheels for a claimed 0-62mph in 2.15sec and 0-124mph in just 5.75sec. This trumps both the McLaren W1 and the Mercedes-AMG One. Different modes offer varying power levels, with Hybrid, Performance and Qualify selectable via the eManettino switch on the steering wheel. There is no pure-electric mode, as on the 296, because the F80 is not a plug-in hybrid: its 2.3kWh battery serves to boost power and allows low-speed, short-distance engine-off running. While the default Hybrid mode optimises the powertrain for efficiency, Performance and Qualify modes give access to…

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India and the government are uncomfortable signing agreements with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) unless regulations calling for overseas jurisdiction over the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) are changed, sources aware of the matter said. “What both (the RBI and the government) are concerned about is the extra-territorial nature of the arrangement, which is not acceptable. Signing MoUs (Memorandum of Understanding) on their (ESMA’s) terms is unacceptable as the CCIL cannot be subject to their regulatory jurisdiction. The RBI and the government want a change in their regulations,” a source said. In…

Mobile games don’t have to make sense, as evidenced by the enduring popularity of a franchise that sees players catapulting birds (which can fly) at pigs (green).

These genres aren’t natural bedfellows, any more than a fox is an obvious choice for a football game, but it all works like a dream. Here’s how it all works. Your first port of call is an island…

Simington argued that regulating data caps would harm customers, using an analogy about the hypothetical regulation of coffee refills: Suppose we were a different FCC, the Federal Coffee Commission, and rather than regulating the price of coffee (which we have vowed not to do), we instead implement a regulation whereby consumers are entitled to free refills on their coffees. What effects might follow? Well, I predict three things could happen: either cafés stop serving small coffees, or cafés charge a lot more for small coffees, or cafés charge a little more for all coffees. Simington went on to compare the…

DIXON, Calif. — Deep inside one of the world’s largest corn mazes, where the tri-tip sandwiches and soft-serve ice cream purchased at the concession stand have become but a memory and all that can be seen in any direction are dirt paths and dead-end walls of green plants whispering in the breeze, people tend to reveal themselves. From humble beginnings with a not-very-impressive pumpkin patch two decades ago, a farming family in this Solano County town decided to move into the corn maze game, hoping to have some seasonal fun and earn a little extra cash.

The news Evercore ISI added Apple to the firm’s tactical outperform list, helping shares climb more than 1% in Monday’s session.
