No injuries were reported at the Islamic Center of Escondido, police said.

Robert Mueller didn’t reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice.

According to a new report, Intel has decided to end further development of its Compute Cards. The device was about the same size as a credit card and had the core components that make up a PC. This included a processor, RAM, storage, wireless modem, and more. The device was first showcased by Intel at CES 2017 and it seems that the company isn’t interested in making them anymore.

The idea behind the Compute cards was to provide companies with a simple solution to create products similar to docking stations which could be easily upgraded when Intel released new versions of the Compute Cards.

That would have meant the upgradation process would have been as simple as taking out a Compute Card and popping in a new one. Tom’s Hardware reports that Intel will no longer be making new versions of the Compute Card, ending the project after just one generation of its 7th Gen processors. It didn’t even receive its first upgraded version.

“We continue to believe modular computing is a market where there are many opportunities for innovation,” a spokesperson for the company said, adding that a decision has been made to “not develop new Compute Card products moving forward.” Intel will be selling all of the remaining inventory that it has throughout the end of this year.

You may have seen aliens landing and meteors crashing in Los Angeles in many movies that are also made in the town as well, but many L.A. residents got concerned earlier this week when they looked up and saw what appeared to be a flaming meteor in the sky. Turns out, it wasn’t a meteor hurtling towards the Earth, it was part of a marketing stunt being pulled off by Red Bull.

Hundreds of people posted videos on social media of what appeared to be a big fireball flying very fast across the Los Angeles skyline. Many speculated what it could be, whether it was just space debris or a space rock that may cause some damage.

You can imagine that many people called up the emergency services as a result which prompted the Los Angeles Police Department to issue a statement. It said that “PSA: A meteor did not crash into Downtown Los Angeles, and no, it’s not an alien invasion… just a film shoot,” reiterating that “This is Tinseltown after all.”

It was actually a marketing stunt by energy drink company Red Bull that’s known for pushing the envelope in this regard. It had hired two wingsuit jumpers to commemorate the last supermoon of the year. The jumpers were kitted with “LED lights and sparkling pyrotechnics that lit up the night sky as the sun set and the supermoon rose.”

The fact that they were moving at 120 miles per hour above the L.A. skyline also gave the impression that this was something from outer space. Red Bull hasn’t put up the footage from this as yet but it’s possible that we may see it in future advertisements.
