The righty walked down the mound toward catcher Jacob Stallings and was soon removed from the game. The Pirates later announced he left the game with right shoulder discomfort. Archer, 30, is 3-9 with a 5....

While it’s possible some of the unreleased footage will eventually make it to Thor: Love and Thunder’s eventual Blu-ray editions, it’s really not rare for rough cuts of movies to be this long before heading to the editing room. Nevertheless, Love and Thunder seems to be caught midway between that and a proper director’s cut, with Waititi claiming it’s full of “big dumb scenes” that pretty much gave up on the film’s story....

Earlier this week, Hemsworth stopped by a local KFC establishment in the Australian town of Murwillumbah, surprising the workers as he pulled up to the drive-thru window in his vehicle. According to their reports, he made a $73 order that included one 15-piece original chicken bucket, one Zinger combo meal, and four regular popcorn chicken combo meals.

Miyamoto’s Super Mario Bros. film announcement came during a Nintendo Direct in September last year. Unfortunately, not much of the film’s plot has surfaced, and the title for the upcoming project remains a hidden secret.

Charlie Day will voice the infamous Luigi, alongside Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong....

Google is initiating a relatively subtle change to its Chrome (opens in new tab) browser, updating the wording of the introductory text that appears on new Incognito tabs. By doing so, it makes it clear that you’re not entirely invisible online. With a clear layout including a pair of bulleted lists that break down exactly what Incognito mode means for the user, Google is hopeful it’s more transparent about the mode’s capabilities....

How Long Do Chromebooks Last? Google’s policy is to support Chromebook devices for at least five years. The updates Chromebooks receive, which often include new security features, ensure the optimal performance of your device. Because such updates rely on device-specific hardware, older Chromebooks can’t support some newer Chrome OS features. Before you buy a new Chromebook, check the AUE date to make sure Chrome OS will continue receiving updates for at least a few years....

Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina released a statement on the case that outlined the charges against Smith-DeJoseph. In it, he claims that the financial secretary cut checks to herself for both payroll and supply reimbursement from the church’s bank accounts, along with using the accounts she had set up to make unauthorized online purchases....

The cyber attack on DigiNotar, a Dutch subsidiary of VASCO Data Security International Inc, is much more serious than previously thought. Last July hackers gained access to the network and infrastructure of several of DigiNotar’s CAs. Once inside, they generated hundreds of forged certificates for third party domains. With these certificates hackers can potentially syphon off user login credentials by spoofing a legitimate site, complete with a functioning but forged SSL-certificate, apparently issued by DigiNotar....

He was quickly tackled by a security guard near the Kansas City sideline. The security guard caught the running fan from behind, and Chiefs players, especially safety Eric Berry, loved it.

It’s certainly no gaming rig, as it relies purely on the integrated graphics of its Haswell-generation Intel Core i7 processor, and its relatively slimline design actually moves Chillblast into the realm of the Ultrabook for the first time. Like most Chillblast laptops, the Helium still uses a generic off-the-shelf chassis, and it’s not the most elegant ultraportable we’ve ever seen. Its dark-grey plastic casing is fairly nondescript, and sounds rather plasticky when tapped, but should be still sturdy enough to cope with day-to-day travelling in a backpack or briefcase....

AFP reported Wednesday that the Château des ducs de Bretagne history museum in the city of Nantes, western France, would delay its Mongol Empire exhibition after Chinese authorities demanded the removal of certain words from the show. These included “Genghis Khan,” “Empire” and “Mongol.” Chinese authorities also requested control over the exhibition’s brochure, legends and maps, AFP reported.

Foreign ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said Thursday during a regular briefing with journalists that China has no desire to be involved in the election, in which former Vice President Joe Biden will attempt to unseat Trump.

Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Senior Colonel Tan Kefei announced Tuesday that the People’s Liberation Army and Republic of Korea Armed Forces revised a November 2008 memorandum of understanding that established lines of communication between the navies and air forces of the two nations. “This current hotline is the first direct telephone link between the front-line troops of the Chinese military and a foreign military,” Tan said, “which has played a positive role in preventing misunderstandings and misjudgments between the Chinese and ROK naval and air forces’ front-line troops and strengthening crisis management and control by the two sides....
