A college football Saturday usually has games kicking off every hour and half-hour (or more often), because there are so many games that they can’t all start at 1, 4, or 8 Eastern, like in the NFL.

A few decades of a mostly standard college TV schedule has allowed us to get a good sense of what games should look like at different times of the day and week.

Eve Thomas, an artist and magazine editor from Montreal, would not call herself a gamer. She played video games on a Mac as a child and enjoyed Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii, but most modern video games don’t appeal. “I don’t like the stress of dying,” she says. “And every single advert for most games presumed me to be a guy.

They didn’t feel like they were speaking to me.” About three years ago, Thomas got in contact with game programmer Brie Code at Ubisoft, one of the world’s biggest games publishers, hoping to…

Not long ago, many parts of India witnessed mob violence based on rumours that people possessed cow meat or were smuggling cows. In most cases, the people who took the law into their own hands were associated with right-leaning outfits or a part of so-called cow-protection groups. But the spate…

Manon, 17, has a Facebook account but to connect with her friends she turns to other social networks like Instagram or Snapchat. “I don’t use it to post status updates or personal information,” the San Francisco teen says. Manon maintains her Facebook account to be able to stay in touch with the large number of users on the huge social network and as a “gateway” to log into other apps. “But to communicate with my friends, it’s Snapchat,” the high schooler said. “Everyone says Facebook is out of date. I think it’s because all the parents are on Facebook.” As Facebook has grown into a…

Facebook Messenger now gives you a reason to make friends who primarily speak Spanish as it has received the anticipated update to let users translate messages from Spanish to English and vice-versa. The new translation functionality comes through the artificial intelligence (AI) backed M Translations that Facebook had unveiled at its F8 developer conference last month. Initially, translations are possible only in the US and Mexico. We can expect a broader rollout of the latest development in the coming future, though. If you receive a message from your friend in English or Spanish but you haven’t set either language as your default language, the M bot available…
