    How Yahoo came up with its new name: Altaba
    (Michael Probst/AP) Yahoo was already a shell of its former self. Now part of the company is getting an obscure new name: Altaba. When Verizon agreed to buy the company for $4.8 billion in July, it planned to purchase just Yahoo's core Internet businesses, which include its email service, sports verticals and various apps. What's left of the embattled technology company would essentially be its ownership in the very valuable Chinese Internet giant Alibaba. When the deal closes, the remainin..

And although the awards show kicked off with a few jokes at the president-el..

    President-elect Donald Trump’s claim about the state of Washington’s dress inventory isn’t entirely accurate. (Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images) President-elect Donald Trump, in a Monday interview with the New York Times, took issue with Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes speech in which the actress slammed Trump without actually naming him.

    How to remove Trump from office
    President-elect Donald Trump listens to questions from reporters. (Mike Segar/Reuters) Donald Trump is a one-man basket of deplorables. He is a braggart and a liar. He is a bully and a demagogue. He is an ignoramus and a deadbeat, a chiseler and either a sincere racist or an insincere one, and his love for himself is matched only by my loathing of him. He is about to be president of the United States. A constitutional coup may be in the offing. Since winning the election, Trump has not..
