Among 2017′s most memorable acceptance speeches was the earnest improvising from veteran character actress and real-life sweetheart Ann Dowd. Her name could be called again for portraying chilling Aunt Lydia on The Handmaid’s Tale. This summer, she gave yet another bloodcurdling performance in A24′s second-highest grosser ever: “When I read Hereditary, I read that first scene that Joan is in, I thought, Oh, I’m playing a nice person. She’s so kind. And I was intrigued!…Because my husband said, ‘You might want to consider playing a secretary or someone nice. A surgeon or someone who delivers the mail. Anything but the antichrist.’”  

May be it does, but normally on a clean system, not one where the user has already added and removed some other tenths of programs/devices. It may work, but what if not? (and it happens, more than sometimes

It wouldn’t be an NFL playoff game without some new and unique officiating issue popping up, and we got just that in the Eagles-Bears matchup on NBC Sunday night, with a would-be incomplete pass almost becoming complete and managing to simultaneously cost both teams points.

Overcoming a spiral into addiction that culminated in felony charges, jail time and rehab would be commendable enough.

That said, both the Smart Keyboard Folio and its keyboard-free version, the Smart Folio ($79/11-inch, $99/12.9-inch), both feel cheap for their prices in ways that should utterly embarrass Apple. They are little more than wraparound pieces of vinyl and fabric that attach magnetically to the iPad Pro’s back, folding to provide support for the reclining tablet. When closed, they provide no coverage for the iPad’s top, bottom, or right side — the latter omission only justified by the need to support the Apple Pencil. At this point, Apple’s iPad case accessories are brazen ripoffs; customers shouldn’t be charged as much as an iPod touch for a plastic keyboard.

Microsoft can switch to hardware sales – they will get slaughtered because they can’t innovate. You can’t subsidise for ever. The XBox is a money pit. You can’t give away hundreds of millions of proprietary standard smartphones to build market share. Microsoft doesn’t own the wireless protocols so it can’t bludgeon hardware manufactures like it does in the PC world.

It is all focused on alleviating some of the pain for about 150,000 LIRR commuters who must somehow get to and from Grand Central every day. Currently, they have to joust, push and elbow their way to platforms at crowded Penn Station, which also accommodates Amtrak and New Jersey Transit trains, adding up to 40 minutes to their daily commutes.

Conversation on the red carpet and inside the packed event, sponsored by Douglas Elliman and Heineken, focused on celebrating the nominees, with Henry Winkler constantly surrounded by well-wishers — even snapping a selfie with Carteris.

O. Henry Chapter of the International Association of Administrative Professionals: 6 p.m. fourth Tuesday, meeting locations vary. Patricia McLaurin, pat.mclaurin@greensboro-nc.gov.

The IT industry has been help up largely by telecom and big business that has nothing to do with the desktop. Even if it proves true that we won’t see the next big desktop revolution “in our lifetime,” I don’t think this means we won’t live to see a comeback of the IT industry as a whole.
