Well... it looks like it has returned AGAIN

@Arauna Interesting. I never knew the story of his son.

Daimler (+1.78%) is taking a majority ownership stake in driverless car startup Torc Robotics.

Apple (+0.65%) canceled its AirPower charger, saying it "will not achieve our high standards."

We all know the Coca-Cola logo when we see it. But the changes this logo has seen! Oh, if logos could talk. It hasn’t always looked exactly as it does now, as this timeline explains... 1886 – What’s in a name? John S Pemberton finalises the formula for his new drink, and his partner, Frank M Robinson, suggests the name Coca-Cola, believing that “the two Cs would look well in advertising”. He experiments with writing the company’s name in Spencerian script – a popular writing style back then. 1887-1890s – Inserting the trademark The trademark is added to the tail of the first ‘C’. 1890-1891 – Extra swirls For one year only, our logo gets a dramatic, swirly makeover. 1941-1960s – Tail tweak The words ‘Trademark Registered’ move out of the tail of the ‘C’. The trademark is noted below the logo, instead of inside it. 1958-1960s – A fishy shape This is the age of the Arciform or ‘fishtail’ logo 1969 – That white wave The Arden Square logo is unveiled. In a red box, the Coca-Cola script is underlined with a white ‘wave’, or ‘Dynamic Ribbon Device’. This is still used today. 2003 – Keeping it real As part of the ‘Coca-Cola... Real’ campaign, the white wave is enhanced with a shock of yellow and some bubbles. 2007 – A classic design A simple, bold approach with a single white ribbon. 2011 – 125 years of happiness Coca-Cola's 125th birthday logo sees bubbles bursting from the contour bottle – a celebration of past, present and future. 2013-2014 – Your name, that classic font The Share a Coke campaign swaps our logo with your first name. 2015 Read about our "one brand" strategy. https://www.coca-cola.co.uk/stories/the-logo-story

The Hyundai Kona Electric, an all-electric crossover utility vehicle with 258 miles of range, has DC fast charging capability to help you make the most of that range. (Of course, you’ll still do most of your charging at home and work, even with a longer range and fast charging.) This crossover’s reasonable size makes it a great choice for all kinds of drivers, including families and people who want to haul some extra stuff. The Kona joins the Hyundai Ioniq Electric and PHEV in the Hyundai lineup as part of the Korean company’s push to be a top 3 EV maker by 2025. “If you are considering an electric vehicle, you might want to draw up a new shopping list. And you should probably pencil in the Hyundai Kona Electric on the first line.” –Car and Driver Hyundai Kona Electric Starting MSRP $36,490 (without $7,500 federal tax credit) Tiers SEL ($36,450) Limited ($41,150 adds sunroof, leather seats, LED headlights) Ultimate ($44,650 adds 8-inch color touchscreen, Heads-up Display, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go) All-electric Range (battery size) 258 miles per full charge (64 kWh) Level 1 Charging Time (120V) 2.5 days Level 2 Charging Time (240V) 9 hours and 35 minutes DC Fast Charging Time (SAE Combo / CCS connector) 80 percent in 54 minutes MPGe* 120 combined city/highway Seats 5 Warranty Lifetime Electric Battery Warranty Awards North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™ 0 to 60 6.4 seconds Other Features 201 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space (45.8 with seats lowered) Android Auto™ & Apple CarPlay® Blind-Spot Collision Warning Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist *MPGe or miles per gallon gasoline equivalent measures the average distance traveled per unit of energy consumed. It’s used instead of miles per gallon for electric and hybrid vehicles. Charging the Hyundai Kona Electric at Home The Hyundai Kona Electric is super easy to charge at home if you can install a home charger. You’ll get a full 258-mile charge in under 10 hours using a 240V “Level 2” AC charger like ChargePoint Home. If you can only access a wall outlet, it’s simple (though slower) to charge the Kona using the Level 1 charger that comes with the car. That will take about two and a half days from an empty battery. Tip: If you don’t live in a single-family home, we can help you get EV charging at your apartment or condo, as well as find places to charge around town with the ChargePoint app. Charging the Hyundai Kona Electric at Work and Around Town More and more workplaces are offering EV charging as an amenity for employees. If your company doesn’t yet, ask about the option and you may soon enjoy the convenience of charging up while you work the day away. While you may not have noticed them if you don’t already drive electric, there are often charging spots at restaurants, stores and other places you spend time. Charging at work or around town is a great way to keep your battery topped off. For Level 2 charging at work or around town, the Kona uses the universal J1772 connector, which is supported at every ChargePoint Level 2 charging station. Like charging at home, the best part about charging at work or around town is that you can go about your day while charging, instead of waiting around for your EV to refuel. You can discover places to charge near you in the ChargePoint app and just tap your phone on any station to start charging. Fast Charging the Hyundai Kona Electric Fast charging is perfect for adding mileage quickly during long trips or when you really need a charge. The Kona Electric uses the popular SAE Combo (CCS) fast charging connector and is said to be able to add about 80 percent of battery capacity (206 miles) in 54 minutes. “Kona should make a big splash in the non-luxury end of the battery-car segment... It's a really exciting choice in the electric-car space because it doesn't seem to ask many compromises at all of its buyers.” – Jake Holmes, CNET It’s simple to find fast charging spots and check the cost of fast charging in the ChargePoint app. If you select the Hyundai Kona Electric as your vehicle when setting up your ChargePoint account, the app will only show you fast charging spots that work with your EV. Once you find a station, you can check the estimated cost to charge in the app, then start a fast charge just like any other charge: simply tap your phone on a ChargePoint Express station, then plug in. How Much Will It Cost to Charge the Hyundai Kona Electric? Based on average cost to charge, it will cost** drivers about $4.46 to go 100 miles in the Kona using public charging. However, keep in mind that most ChargePoint stations are free to use, so you won’t always be paying to charge. Many businesses offer charging for free or at their cost because they want you to visit. The cost of charging can vary between different EV charging stations and networks. ChargePoint station owners set their own charging and parking fees depending on their needs, and you can always check station details in the app for the latest pricing information. The cost to charge at home will vary depending on how much you drive and how much electricity costs in your area (and if you can get a special EV charging rate plan), but it’s likely to be much less than the average paid public charge. Plus, you can save even more with the many incentives for buying an electric car or home charger incentives. Getting money back for driving electric helps offset the slightly higher price point of some EVs. The Hyundai Ioniq and Kona Electric are just the beginning: by 2020, Hyundai plans to put out an EV on a dedicated all-electric platform in its quest to be a leading electric automaker. Are you excited about the Kona Electric? Don’t forget to sign up for ChargePoint when you get yours.

The Reimann family (believed to be the second-wealthiest in Germany with a $37 billion fortune) just confirmed its past support for the Nazi regime following a report alleging as much in one of Germany’s most popular papers. This is the family behind JAB Holdings. And even if you don’t know JAB, you know JAB. It’s sunk about $60 billion into acquiring brands that dominate many Americans’ morning routines—from Peet’s and Keurig Green Mountain coffee to Panera Bread and Einstein Bros. Bagels. Now-deceased members of the Reimann family used Russian civilians and French POWs as forced labor for their businesses and private villas during the Third Reich, and they contributed to Nazi organizations as early as 1931. The Reimann offspring said they’ll donate about $11.3 million after learning the extent of the family’s Nazi ties. Where the money will go? TBD. Zoom out: The Reimanns aren’t the first German dynasty owning up to Nazi ties decades later—other companies include Hugo Boss, Daimler, Deutsche Bank, and more.

Volvo said it expects margins on electric vehicles to match those of traditional combustion engine models by 2025.

The EU fined Google $1.7 billion for abusing its dominant position in the online ad market.

Apple (+0.87%) launched a new generation of AirPods with optional wireless charging, longer talk time, and hands-free Siri access.

Facebook (+0.39%) stored hundreds of millions of users’ passwords as plain text on an internal database tens of thousands of employees could access. It said it will alert users who've been affected.

@The Librarian @TrueTomHarley You can just look that the bottom of the page and click on "Theme" Both are still supported.

Survivor's guilt? It must have been a heavy weight for her to bear to say the least.

Look how long it took to get this "report"....

Now I am starting to feel old.

Turns out Harrison and Carrie were actually having an affair at that moment.... Later on Carrie would wish that she were more interested in Mark Hamill than Harrison.

Dudley Stuart John Moore, CBE (19 April 1935 – 27 March 2002) was an English actor, comedian, musician and composer. Moore first came to prominence in the UK as one of the four writer-performers in the comedy revue Beyond the Fringe from 1960, and with one member of that team, Peter Cook, collaborated on the television series Not Only... But Also. The double act worked on other projects until the mid-1970s, by which time Moore had settled in Los Angeles to concentrate on his film acting. His solo career as a comedy film actor was heightened by the success of hit Hollywood films, particularly Foul Play (1978), 10 (1979) and Arthur (1981). For Arthur, Moore was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor and won a Golden Globe Award. He received a second Golden Globe for his performance in Micki & Maude (1984). In 1981 Moore won the Golden Globe for Best Actor for his role in Arthur, for which he was also Oscar-nominated. In November 2001, Moore was appointed a Commander of the Order of The British Empire (CBE). Despite his deteriorating condition, he attended the ceremony at Buckingham Palace on 16 November to collect his honour in a wheelchair

They almost nailed it... and who knows... maybe Apple will come out with the circular iScroll rollout screen still? They didn't know back then how small speakers could get.
