In an interview with CBS News, Glynnis Bohannon described why she filed a lawsuit against Facebook. She says it began when she allowed her 12-year-old son to use her credit card on the Facebook game Ninja Saga. She expected a $19.95 charge to go through once with her permission and then never happen again but when her credit card bill eventually arrived, she discovered Facebook was charging her for almost $1000 in in-app purchases....
Hamilton’s current Mercedes deal is up at the end of this season, prompting speculation around the Briton’s future, but it is thought a two-year extension is on the cards. And Wolff would like to see Hamilton remain with the team even beyond that, keen to ensure the four-time champion sees out his career with Mercedes. “Lewis is 33 and I think he has another five very good years in him,” Wolff told reporters ahead of the British Grand Prix....
Red Bull are the ones to catch after the Austrian team won their first World Constructors’ Championship since 2013 last time around to end Mercedes’ recent eight-year dominance of the sport. As a general rule of thumb, all teams will announce their new cars, complete with new liveries, before early testing begins in late February in Bahrain. Aston Martin were the first to confirm their launch date — February 13 at 14:00 ET — and Ferrari will unveil their car a day later at Imola....
BAKU (Reuters) - Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg and McLaren’s Jenson Button expressed concern on Thursday about the pit lane entry and lack of run-off areas at the new Baku street circuit. Azerbaijan is hosting its first grand prix this weekend and the layout mixes the sport’s longest straight, a 2.1km blast where cars reach around 340kph, and tight corners around medieval walls. The pit lane entry involves a tight chicane separate from the main straight, but at unrestricted speed, with another long stretch before the driver finally has to engage the car’s speed limiter....
Whoever has won the most races isn’t the be-all and end-all, far from it, but it’s one of the better ways to rank Formula 1’s legends, with a lot of this list still being made up of drivers from the 80s or before. With that in mind, who has stood on the top step of the podium the most in F1’s history? The leader may not be a surprise, but there are some real surprises along the way and there are a few with a real shot of toppling him from his perch in the near future....

Autosport quoted Shovlin as saying: Lewis Hamilton has been in the sport for a long time and shares the biggest share of his success with Mercedes. Winning six world championships and being a constant contender for eight seasons in a row has proved his competence against other drivers on the grid. This not only helped him etch his name in the history books of the sport but earned him a huge amount of experience in the field....
Sunday is massive and without question, the biggest game of the season. Without being disrespectful to Millwall or Wigan and their supporters, whoever comes through this one will be installed as odds on favourite with the bookies to go on and lift the 2013 FA CUP! FA Cup Semi Final weekend is always big football news and will fill plenty of pages in the written media. There will be plenty of opinions, comments and analysis on this one but it really does come down to the team that turns up and performs on the day that wins it....
Winning their previous three games, Wigan started with an intent to unsettle the defending champions as they pushed and prodded past Jose Mourinho’s men. With their 16-game unbeaten run over, United looked uncertain and allowed the visitors to control the game. Even though Wigan were the better side in the first half, quality prevailed over effort and Marouane Fellaini gave his team the lead just before the break.

The midfielder was dismissed by referee Andre Marriner for violent conduct after raising his hands to Saints full-back Cedric in stoppage time at Emirates Stadium. Elneny, who signed a new long-term contract last month, was facing a three-match ban, which would have ruled him out of games against Newcastle United, West Ham and Manchester United. But on Tuesday, the Football Association released a statement declaring that “an Independent Regulatory Commission accepted that he was wrongly dismissed for violent conduct”....
The proposed Spaceport Camden in Georgia’s Camden County would operate commercial flights into space, but operators would have to go through “many more reviews” for the green light to actually launch a rocket even if the FAA authorizes its construction. If approved Monday, the site is expected to become home to the 13th licensed commercial spaceport in the U.S., but the FAA stressed in a letter released Friday that licensing Spaceport Camden “would not authorize a single launch....
The nation of Samarkand supposedly lies to the west of Albion. Although no Fable game takes place in Samarkand, its influence is felt on the games, as the nation is a major trading partner with Albion. Bits of lore and dubiously canon information in the Fable family of fiction suggest that Samarkand is a pretty rich and fascinating nation, but there’s a lot left to learn about it. If Playground Games decides to work with Fable’s original universe instead of introducing its own, then it could put Samarkand in the spotlight for once....

“Did you feel depressed after your first practice debate?” asked the Tennessean. “God, yes,” replied the man from Arkansas. “I finished fourth in mine.” In the last three decades, American presidential debates have evolved into a high-risk form of low political theater. The winner, more often than not, is determined by cosmetics (the darkness of Nixons jowl), offhand remarks (Reagan’s “There you go again”) and other factors of shining inconsequence....

According to The Seattle Stranger, Washington state law requires political ad-sellers “to make significant disclosures about who’s paying for political ads that target state and local elections, as well as details about the reach of those ads.” In June 2018, Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson sued Facebook and Google after the web giants refused to publicly furnish information on political ads as required by state law. Because state statutes allowed for both companies to be fined as much as $10,000 per violation, Facebook and Google potentially owed millions of dollars to the state for the hundreds of ads they had run for local and state elections....
