The process is intentionally...

Microsoft’s decision to rename its major Windows updates from the familiar “Spring” and “Fall” labels to the more neutral “H1” and “H2” might appear, at first glance, to be merely a move towards greater chronological clarity. However, the impetus for this change is rooted in a deeper and...

A former Indiana mayor who won four terms in the 1930s and 1950s is proving less popular with modern-day city leaders, who say they probably won't name a new government center for him because of the jokes his moniker could inspire. Harry Baals is the runaway favorite in online voting to name...
