The next big episode in America’s ongoing net-neutrality saga occurs this week, and it already has a surprising twist.

On Wednesday, hundreds of internet companies — from Amazon and Google to PornHub and several lesser-known ones — will stage an online protest billed as the "Internet-Wide Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality."

When the day kicks off, those participants will be joined, at least nominally, by one of the companies in their crosshairs: AT&T. The telecom... Читать дальше...

We went to a Chipotle test kitchen in NYC to try its new queso dip. Chipotle resisted having queso on its menu because it tends to be processed. However, the restaurant has now come up with an all natural alternative.

If a trial run in the chain's public test kitchen in New York City goes well, the cheesy Tex-Mex favorite could soon be served at locations across the US in about a month, Chipotle Chief Marketing Officer Mark Crumpacker told USA Today on Tuesday.

This unique vacation by the Four Seasons will fly you around the world in a private jet, but it'll cost you $138,000. On the "World of Adventures," guests will travel through eight countries in three weeks. Excursions and food are all included as well as the price of hotel and airfare.

The first states outside of New York to get to a chance to try the cheesy dip could potentially be in California and Colorado, according to Crumpacker.

In case you thought James Mattis’ job running the Department of Defense wasn’t hard enough, he reportedly had to sit through a presentation — on a Saturday — by two top Beltway bandits, imposed on him by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and his top propaganda consigliere, on how the Afghanistan war should be run by defense contractors.
