Parallelz raises $3M to instantly run any mobile app or game in a browser without quality loss or changes

Image
  Parallelz has raised $3 million for its tech that enables mobile games and apps to run instantly in a browser with no loss in quality, no downloads, no performance losses, and no need to change the coding. You can get instant gratification in starting a game or an app. It has raised a relatively a small amount of money, but Parallelz could be quite strategic in creating change across the mobile industry, as its platform could challenge the app store duopoly that extracts a 30% fee from the gaming ecosystem, according to Parallelz CEO Albert Lai. And that platform is simply the web, which has grown up from the days when it couldn’t run cool graphics. In an interview with GamesBeat, Lai said that he has been dreaming about this for more than a decade, ever since the company started working on HTML5 technology and instant gaming on the web. Parallelz has created a software platform that will enable entirely new ways to distribute and discover mobile applications. The funding, source...

Stock Markets Fall After Fed Rally Fades

Image
Such grim forecasts offer the possibility that the economy could end up shrinking this quarter for the second time in a row — a common, though unofficial, definition of a recession. The National Bureau of Economic Research, the country’s semiofficial arbiter of when business cycles begin and end, offers a  more nuanced definition  of a recession, calling it “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and lasts more than a few months.” Most economists agree that, by that definition, a recession has not yet begun. Mr. Powell on Wednesday argued, as he has in the past, that the Fed can bring down inflation without causing a recession, although he acknowledged that its ability to do so depends on factors that are outside its control, such as gas prices, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Many analysts are skeptical that such a “soft landing” is realistic. After Mr. Powell’s comments, economists at Deutsche Bank called such hopes “overly optimist...

Biden’s Iran deal would create a foreign policy disaster for US and hand Xi, Putin, Khamenei a major victory

Image
  NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! Imagine a deal cut with the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, Iran, co-brokered by Vladimir Putin’s Russia and the Chinese Communist Party. One that would pave the way for Tehran to develop nuclear weapons and also supercharge its violence across the Middle East. America would be foolish to take it. But if President Joe Biden doesn’t have a change of heart, he may try to sell just such a deal to the American people. Before he hands a major victory to the Ayatollah Khameni, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping and presides over another foreign policy disaster, the president should walk away from the negotiating table. IRAN’S PRESIDENT VOWS TO CONTINUE NUCLEAR ACTIVITIES After months of discussions, the Biden administration is on the verge of reaching an agreement with Iran to replace the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed by President Barack Obama in 2015. President Donald Trump pulled America out of that deeply flawed d...

Image
  NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 427 pounds of cocaine, valued at more than $3 million, during the inspection of a tractor-trailer attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border last week. Laredo Port Director Albert Flores issued a statement applauding the efforts of those CBP officers involved in preventing the narcotics from entering the country. “Our frontline officers continue to maintain strict vigilance in the commercial truck environment and their effective utilization of training, inspections experience, and technology successfully prevented a significant load of cocaine from ever reaching U.S. streets,” Flores said .

Ukrainian Parents Are Writing IDs on Their Children’s Bodies

Image
  The mother’s hands were shaking when she started writing on her 2-year-old’s body. They trembled so much that she couldn’t write correctly on her first try, even though the information was second nature: Her daughter’s name, Vira, along with her birth date and their family phone numbers. “I thought that if my husband and I died, Vira could find who she is,” the mother, Oleksandra Makoviy, recalled. For Vira, standing in a diaper in their house in Kyiv, the writing on her back was a game. She didn’t know that the bombing had begun. Ms. Makoviy’s desperate attempt to prepare her daughter for the possibility of being orphaned as the family attempted to escape the Ukrainian capital during the Russian invasion has become a wrenching symbol of the anguish of a nation of parents. A photo of Vira’s back that Ms. Makoviy shared on Instagram has been seen hundreds of thousands of times, after it was amplified by Ukrainian journalists and government officials. Messages of supp...

Alabama doctors, parents of transgender kids sue to block law banning cross-sex hormones for children

Image
  NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! The parents of two Alabama children who identify as transgender joined with two medical doctors in suing Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and other state officials in an attempt to block the state’s new law banning cross-sex hormones and so-called “puberty-blocking” drugs for minors. The parents and doctors – represented by a bevy of left-leaning law firms including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), and the Human Rights Campaign, among others – claim that S.B. 184 , which Ivey signed Friday, violates federal non-discrimination law, including a provision of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. TEXAS DOCTOR SUES AFTER CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL HALTS CROSS-SEX HORMONES, ‘PUBERTY BLOCKERS’ “I believe very strongly that if the Good Lord made you a boy, you are a boy, and if he made you a girl, you are a girl,” Ivey said Friday in a statement. “We should especially protect our children fr...
