There Should Be No Reality Where Anthony Volpe Isn't The Yankees Starting Shortstop On Opening Day

Anthony Volpe vs. Oswald Peraza vs. IKF (but not really). No more pretending he’s a good defender over there. No more ignoring the talented young studs in the system ready to rock. It seems like I might have gotten my wish. He just so happened to have went lift off today against the Twins ace Pablo Lopez. Anthony Volpe’s homer earlier today should not be the deciding factor for him earning the job....

Why a European mobile operating system can’t challenge Android and iOS

Recently,we askedif it was possible for Europe to have a dominant smartphone again. The answer was simple: no, not unless theres some sort of miracle. But, here at TNW, we had another question: could Europe launch its own mobileoperating system? Why do we need a European mobile OS? On first inspection, its an excellent idea.
