England's oldest hotel devoured by fire
England's 300-year old hotel, the Royal Clarence Hotel, was demolished by a fire on October 28th. Over 100 firefighters fought the fire but were unsuccessful in containing it. The fire lasted through the night and burned through all stories and tore through the roof of the monumental building. Fortunately, no one was killed or injured. The fire started in the Castle Fine Art gallery and spread to the Well House Tavern, a cafe in the hotel, and became out of hand. The fire is contained, but the firefighters are expected to stay until Sunday. Building control engineers have said that the building was expected to crumble away, even after the fire is put out.

6.6 magnitude earthquake hits Italy
A massive 6.6 magnitude earthquake rips through central Italy-stronger than the previous 6.1 and 5.5 magnitude earthquakes earlier this week. Among the many people affected, only 20 were injured, many lightly. Residents are forced to live in their cars and around 15,000 people are without electricity. Not only was this Italy's most powerful earthquake in 36 years, but the damage caused was catastrophic, due to the poor and ancient foundation and structure of the buildings in Italy, with most buildings being over a millennium old. The quake struck at 7:40 local time in Norcia, destroying many of the churches and villages as it spread.

EA bans entire country from using their services
It looks like EA has completely banned the entire South East Asian country Myanmar from using their Origin service and lost any games purchased on their accounts. This has been brought up in concern by many of the members of the community that reside there, and they are very frustrated. one user saying they can no longer access their 20 or so games, of which they've "spent hundreds of dollars on." "I was trying to log into Origin a few days ago and got a bizarre 'Access Denied' message," is what the user said. "I googled it and found that 'Origin is no longer available in Myanmar." Clearly the users have noticed what is going on and they want this to be reverted. You can find the original complaint to EA on their support page HERE.

If you are thinking about to buy the new Titanfall game. Here are some good reasons you should consider it.
Unlike almost* every other shooter that will launch this year or in the past, EA and Respawn have decided to not charge for multiplayer DLC, instead you can have them for free when they are released. The Angel City map, which is a remaster of one of the maps from the first Titanfall will be the firs example about this new policy.This is an brave move because everybody now try to get several more bucks from the normal player for few digital goods . Battlefield One, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Doom and many other shooters all have SP that include multiplayer DLC maps and/or guns. This is the reason why some players can't play with their friends who can afford the paid DLC map, or are destroyed from some new DLC gun.
Maybe there will be at some point some paid content but it will be onlly for the single player area of the game. “This means no splitting up the community and it all starts with the legendary Angel City map, remastered from the original Titanfall,” said Respawn in a post on the Titanfall website. “This means once you’ve purchased Titanfall 2, your investment includes a full single player campaign, the full multiplayer maps and modes, and long-term support with no hidden costs. ” Titanfall 2 will not have a season pass, instead all future maps and modes will be free updates for all players.

After four years since Apple released the last member of its high-end laptop family. Four long years of waiting for the next announcement from them, the day is finally here. Tim Cook showed off what Apple has been working on the whole time at a warm event at their home ship in Cupertino.
The company finally showed off the refreshed version of the Pro on the 25th anniversary of the release of their PowerBook (their first notebook), featuring a secondary display between the keyboard and screen as some leaks suggested.
Apple calls it Touch Bar, the mini Retina display that replaces the Mac's ordinary row of function keys. This display is a multi-touch screen with support for up to 10 fingers that helps perform a wide variety of tasks, from selecting emojis to displaying tools for apps, based on the task the user is doing at the time.
They also showed off a peek of functionality with key partners like Adobe and Algoriddim as well as support for Word, PowerPoint and Excel on the way. Get a handful of editing tools like cropping, alignment and photo straightening only by clicking into photos, for video editing, you can control timing forward and backward with a swipe.
According to Apple, this is the thinnest and most light version of Pro. The 13-inch version of the notebook is 14.9mm thick, that is 13% thinner than the MacBook Air. The 15-inch version weighs four pounds and the 13-inch version comes in at three pounds.

HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, and Acer's VR Headsets
In an attempt to join the market for virtual reality, a few very known companies have announced that they will ship VR headsets soon for a starting price of $299. These companies include: HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, and Acer. These companies are currently working together to make a universal VR headset that will be compatible across their brand on computers. These VR headsets are tailored towards the average consumer and has built in technology to accommodate that. The VR headset will have six degrees of freedom sensors which allow users to use the headset in confined spaces and without any external sensors.

Microsoft has also jumped on the VR hype and have been developing their own VR headset known as the HoloLens. Currently, Microsoft is not going into this alone as they are partnering up with various companies. Microsoft plans to sell their VR headsets as a commodity meaning these VR headsets can be used for various tasks, not just gaming. As a consumer, it safe to say that the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift have made their mark in the VR gaming scene and currently remains one of the top. Its smart for Microsoft and other companies to tackle a different approach in the VR industry. There hasn't been much information released yet about the headset but there has been demos of it in actions. Overall, it looks promising and if the price tag is right, many people will purchase one.

The cover art for this tape is a tribute to ASAP Yams. If you're unaware he passed away last year around the time ASAP Rocky's latest album was released. A few of the songs on this tape we've heard already like "Yamborghini High" and "Crazy Brazy". The best concert I've ever been to involved ASAP Ferg and MadeinTyo and both of these artists are on this tape. I'm extremely excited to dig in and listen to it.

ROD$TA - Orange River EP
I want to take this section of the news today to plug my friend Rod. I met Rod on campus one day while riding the bus and basically we bonded over clothes and skateboarding.

All of the previous music Rod has made I enjoy so I'm especially excited to listen to this tape.

Cleveland Indians lead Chicago Cubs in World Series 3-2.
The Cleveland Indians are ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the World Series 3-2. Game 6 will be in Cleveland. Game 7 will also be in Cleveland if necessary. The Cubs, who were down 3-1 in the series have a tough road ahead of them. The last time a team that came back from a 3-1 deficit were the Kansas City Royals in 1985 (31 years). The Cubs were favored to win the series at the start, but their offense has been sluggish in games 1, 3, and 5. Chicago’s Jake Arrieta will take on the Indians’ Josh Tomlin in game 6. Regardless of who wins this series, both teams have already altered their notorious history of not being able to make it to the World Series. The Cubs haven't won a world series in over a century. Game 6 will be on at 8 P.M. EST on FOX.

Art world embraces emojis of tech world
In 1999 12x12 pixel designs were a phenomena in Japan at the time. What were these things? They were emojis.
Unicode Consortium, which now controls emoji standards, translated the emoji into the Unicode standard (Kurita 5).
This week New York's Museum of Modern Art acquired a set of 176 emojis. They were a gift from a phone company.
New York's Museum of Modern Art plans to use these emojis in comparison to modern day emojis to show how technology has evolved since 1999. To date Unicode Consortium now consists of almost 1,800 different emoji's. Now if that doesn't know how how art in technology hasn't changed then I don't know what else does!

Birth of the Iphone 7
The IPHONE 7 came out, and everyone around the world has been itching to get one. In Ukraine however, one man proved he would do anything to win an IPHONE 7 by winning a store's competition to get a free one. Now that may not sound weird, but wait till you hear the criteria to win the phone. You had to literally change your name to "IPHONE 7". The 20-year old iPhone Sim (Seven) got the coveted prize Friday. He said he might change it back to his original name, Olexander Turin, when he has children. While I do want an IPHONE 7, I don't think I would change my name, though he did save a lot of money, considering a name change costs $2 while the IPHONE 7 starts at $850.
