St. Andrews will again host The Open in 2027, which made us examine all four major venues for that year. One sticks out like a sore thumb.

Sellers on eBay have capitalized on TikTok's uncertain fate in the U.S. by selling secondhand phones for thousands of dollars with the app pre-installed.
According to Wired, listings for phones with TikTok installed have proliferated on the online marketplace amidst the TikTok ban saga. On Jan. 18, U.S. users were denied access to the app with a pop-up saying, "A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now." But the very next day,...
If enough hasn't already happened this week – John McAfee is apparently back from the dead.
Well, his account on Elon Musk's X has been revived at the very least.
On Wednesday night, John McAfee's @officialmcafee X account started posting again even though McAfee himself was found dead from suicide in June 2021 in a prison in Spain while awaiting extradition to the U.S.

Cooper Flagg gave the 2025 NBA Draft the superstar it needed at the top of the class when he decided to reclassify in Aug. 2023 to essentially skip his senior year of high school at Florida prep powerhouse Montverde Academy. Flagg was originally slated graduate high school in 2025, which would have had him ticketed for the 2026 NBA Draft. While Flagg’s reclassification balanced out the elite young talent...
