The ULW10, also called the “Traveler,” features a 10.1-inch display at a 4:3 aspect ratio, with support for five different inputs: S-Video, RGB, RCA, VGA, and HDMI.

The premise of Stupid Never Dies is wacky: Players control a zombie named Davy who’s trying to bring back to life a frozen girl he found and named Daisy.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, but not in any official capacity. More of a "grandpa had one, so I typed my name a few times" thing.

How is social media changing news?

It's not changing news, it's becoming the news.

What does it mean to be a journalist?
