Yahoo has finally sold itself away to Verizon Communications for merely US$4.83 billion. Only time will tell if the purchase is a great deal, or a waste of money. Verizon, America’s biggest wireless company, plans to merge Yahoo with AOL, a company it bought last year for a cool US$4.4 billion – cash. Clearly, […]
... written on Aug 02 2016Shayla Wiggins, a 19-year-old Riverton resident, found a body floating in the Wind River while playing a game on her cell phone.

... written on May 31 2016When Apple Pay was introduced back in Oct 2014, many were sceptical. Today, 16-month later, the scepticism remains. However, ExxonMobil may be able to change that with its newly launched service – pay for your fuel at any of its 6,000 gas stations using Apple Pay – starting today.

... written on Dec 09 2015You may give us a big yawn if we were to tell you that Pepsi is launching a new product. After all, you’ve been Coca Cola’s biggest fan after Warren Buffett.
