| Google is delaying the launch of its coronavirus information website to later this week Posted: 16 Mar 2020 05:55 PM PDT  Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty Images Google has made the call to slightly delay the launch of its informational coronavirus website to "later this week." The site, which the search giant had not planned on making until last week, has been at the center of a swirl of contention between President Donald Trump, Google, and the press since the president first said a site where people could check symptoms, arrange a test, and get test results was coming from Google, but was actually referring to a much more limited site from Google sister company Verily. Now, a Google spokesperson tells The Verge the company wants to take a little more time to fill out the features of this new informational site. It's also true that so much has happened in the past 24 hours that Google wanted to... |

| Judge denies Ohio governor’s attempt to postpone the state’s presidential primary Posted: 16 Mar 2020 04:55 PM PDT  Photo by Matthew Hatcher/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images An attempt by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to delay Tuesday's presidential primary until June 2nd has been denied by a Franklin County judge, according to the Columbus Dispatch. DeWine had filed a lawsuit in an attempt to delay the primary to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. DeWine specifically cited new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance on avoiding large gatherings that he said would make it impossible to hold the election as scheduled, the Columbus Dispatch reports. "It is clear that tomorrow's in-person voting does not conform and cannot conform with these CDC guidelines," DeWine said at his daily press briefing. He also said the state does not want to force its vulnerable populations, who are most... |

| Here’s how Xbox Series X removable storage will work Posted: 16 Mar 2020 12:49 PM PDT  Microsoft revealed some key details about the next-gen Xbox Series X console today.
