“He’s a really good coach, knows how to relate to players, knows how to give them their freedom, but hold them accountable.” McCarthy, who became the ninth head coach in franchise history, has an overall coaching record of 125-77-2. Jennings, who played wide receiver for the Packers under McCarthy from 2006-12, helping the team win Super Bowl XLV, said the Cowboys’ receivers would love playing for his former coach as he is known for getting his top players involved. “It’s not like he’s going int

For the second time in a week, Amazon has acknowledged that its employees improperly accessed customer data. The company notified customers Friday that it fired several employees after they shared customer email addresses and phone numbers with third parties. The company declined to say how many employees were terminated, the number of customers impacted by the incident or why the information was shared with third parties. The company notified affected users of the incident in an email on Friday

The average stock in the index entered 2019 with a projected 24% gain, according to Bespoke. Company analysts see only modest upside for stocks overall this year, a rare view for the normally bullish crowd. For the 10 largest stocks, two — Apple and JP Morgan Chase — are already trading above their average price target. Consumer staples, financials and utilities are the three sectors with the lowest average upside, all below 3%. Energy is the only sector that cracks double digits, with the avera

Some analysts and strategists have been urging clients to move more of their portfolio into international stocks. The international index rose 18.1%, but the S&P 500 jumped more than 28%. The global stock market got a negative shock in the first trading days of 2020. The European stock market is more sensitive to the global economy than the U.S. market, Luschini said, similar to equities in emerging markets. Because Chinese growth has such a large impact on the world’s economy, even a slight imp

Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York, U.S., January 10, 2020. Both now and then, the S&P had gained about 25% over the previous year and around 15% from an August pullback. Bespoke Investment Group calculates the market has been statistically “overbought” 98% of all days since October, the longest such stretch since late-2017-early 2018.

The Trump administration this week warned Iraq that it could lose access to its central bank account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York if Baghdad expels American troops from the region, Iraqi officials told The Wall Street Journal. The strike led to Iraq’s parliament voting to force out American troops — a move some officials argued would hurt Iraq — and a counterstrike by Iran on two bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq last week. President Trump threatened to place economic sanctions on Ira

Unlike growth stocks that have led the market’s record-long bull run, dividend stocks typically don’t offer dramatic price appreciation, but they do provide investors with a steady stream of income. In comparison, a popular dividend-focused exchange-traded fund — iShares Select Dividend ETF — currently has a dividend yield of 3.6%. Stocks with the fastest dividend growth include Citigroup, pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and medical equipment and drug producer Baxter, UBS said. The basket has a

North Korea will not discuss proposals such as those Trump made at his last summit with Kim Jong Un in Hanoi in February 2019, the adviser said. North Korea will not give up its nuclear facilities for partial sanctions relief, and will only return to talks when the United States makes concessions, he added. The adviser also warned South Korea to steer clear of relations between the North and the United States. South Korea should not intervene in the two nations’ ties as if seeking “to play a med

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s military early Saturday morning announced its role in the downing of a Ukrainian passenger jet that killed all 176 people on board, saying the shootdown was “unintentional” and blaming “human error.” Those attacks caused no casualties. “Armed Forces’ internal investigation has concluded that regrettably missiles fired due to human error caused the horrific crash of the Ukrainian plane & death of 176 innocent people,” Rouhani’s tweet said.

When Nvidia announced its new lineup of G-Sync gaming monitors with 360Hz refresh rates, I have to admit I was a little taken aback. The gaming monitors I’m into are the ones that have high resolutions with HDR, so that’s where I’m coming from. The Nvidia rep then gave me a challenge, see if i can shoot more people on the 360Hz display. So, while I am, admittedly, still bad at video games, I was approximately 400% better with a 360Hz display. For the next test Nvidia tried to see how much better

The hit Netflix series defied expectations by quickly becoming one of the most watched shows of 2019 just days before the year expired.

Original Apple I computers have sold for around the $400,000 mark (around £300,000, AU$580,000), or even close to half a million in recent times, but if you don’t fancy taking out a mortgage to buy one, there’s another option: build your own courtesy of the SmartyKit. This DIY kit provides you with all the components you need to make a replica Apple I, and it all fits together by simply slotting chips (15 of them) into breadboards and wiring it all up, with no need for a soldering iron.

We’ve got high hopes for the upcoming OnePlus 8 series of phones, based on the leaks and rumors we’ve seen so far, and now it looks like a headline feature of the devices could be screens with an impressive 120Hz refresh rate. We say that because OnePlus has invited Chinese media to an event at its headquarters in Shenzen on January 13, where it looks set to show off its new display technology. According to the Weibo user who shared the invitation, this is set to include a 120Hz screen, which co

At CES 2020 in January, Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, an ‘affordable’ version of the original Galaxy Note 10, almost exactly six months after the first phone.

Being able to see what a car is doing in real time is a goldmine in the age of automation. One example of this is the 4×4 display that appears in the 2020 Nissan Rogue (a sporty crossover). The science of slippageI tested the AWD tech in the Rogue on a snowy day and drove through a few snowbanks to see how the computer-controlled tire slippage monitors actually work. I prefer the AWD tech myself – I mainly want to arrive at my destination and not get stuck or slip on the road. My sense is that d

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order would have had a very different name and focus if Lucasfilm got its way when Respawn initially pitched the Force-powered action game. According to game director Stig Asmussen, the company had to be convinced to green-light a game about lightsabers and Jedi. “I pitched, ‘Hey what if we do a game about Jedi and Force powers,'” he recalled. It might explain, however, why the two previous attempts to make a brand new Star Wars game, both unfortunately shelved, were about
