...Stanley Cup is, without question, the most colorful - and potentially contagious - title trinket in sports. It's hard to imagine anyone peeing on the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Stanley has so many stories - if he could talk, he'd love to tell you about that wacky night he spent at the bottom of Mario Lemieux's pool - because every year, each player and front-office member from the winning team gets to spend a day with the Cup before turning it over to their championship successors. (Of course, if the Detroit Red Wings hold on to their 2-0 series lead...
...with it. It also has a monochrome camera (it works with infrared) that reads depth - how far away your body and its component parts are - and a highly specialized microphone that can pick up voice commands. Along with all this hardware, it's got a ton of software that tells the Xbox how to find your body's various joints (it tracks 48 of them), how to keep track of multiple players at the same time, how to tell your Hawaiian shirt apart from the colorful wallpaper behind you, and so on. Microsoft even did an acoustic study of living...

But they also suggest that the General Assembly may end up deciding to simply hold a yearlong "dialogue" on the matter, to allow the U.S. and Cuba to ease into a compromise that would be unveiled...
...France Flight 447, a twin-engine A330, took off from Galeão International Airport in Rio de Janeiro at 7:30 p.m. local time and was last heard from three hours later, when the cockpit crew radioed to tell Brazilian air controllers that the plane would enter Senegalese airspace at 11:20 p.m., according to a statement from Aeronautica, the body in charge of Brazilian airspace. (No message from Senegalese airspace was ever received.) Speaking at a press conference, Air France CEO Pierre-Henri Gourgeon said the plane encountered stormy weather and strong turbulence at 11 p.m. and shortly...
