New York (CNN Business)Google’s video-game streaming service, Stadia, will start rolling out in November, the company announced Thursday on a YouTube livestream.

Google says it will eventually allow people to play games directly over WiFi from any TV with Chromecast, computer with a Chrome browser, and Google Pixel phones. There are no downloads as the games themselves exist on Google cloud servers.

The first time Tom Rice jumped out of a plane over the Normandy coast, German soldiers were firing into the sky and about to launch a deluge of bullets and gunfire into the sea. Seventy-five years later it was nothing but smooth sailing.

Rice, who is 97 years old and was a U.S. World War II paratrooper, was one of a group of about 200 parachutists commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day, which began on June 6,

TV Review: ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Season 3

It took a long time for me to realize what about the evolution of “The Handmaid’s Tale” makes it feel so much less urgent in its third season. It’s not simply that it’s moved well beyond the confines of Margaret Atwood’s source material, which ran its course by the end of Season 1. It’s not even that the initial gut punch of the show — greenlit and developed well before Donald Trump was elected president — accidentally on purpose tapping into current events has faded into obscurity,

It’s Federer vs Nadal a Grand Rivalry Reborn in the French Open Semifinals

PARIS — After a false dawn in Indian Wells, Calif., three months ago, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are well and truly set to renew their rivalry.

It has not been as edgy as Federer’s with Novak Djokovic, not as prolific — nor as routinely draining — as Nadal’s with Djokovic.

But Federer-Nadal — or Nadal-Federer if you are respecting Nadal’s 23-15 head-to-head edge — has been transcendent just the same.

2019 Memorial Tournament leaderboard grades: Patrick Cantlay triumphs with final-round 64

When you shoot a 68 while playing in the final pairing of a PGA Tour event and your playing partner stalls out, you’re supposed to win the golf tournament. Instead? Adam Scott, playing with 54-hole leader Martin Kaymer in the final pairing, went 34-34 after starting two up on Patrick Cantlay (playing in front of them) but got absolutely torched down the stretch.

That’s because Cantlay went out and shot a filthy 8-under 64 to take the second PGA Tour event of his career by two over Scott and four over Kaymer (who shot 72).
