China wants to change that with new regulations for young people. They will not be allowed to play video games after 10 p.m., and on weekdays, they’re not allowed to play more than 90 minutes a day. If they want add-ons, they can’t spend more than $57 a month. Should it be the government’s role to decide when young gamers play? Our Opinion Phil doesn’t think they should and believes it should be up to “parents to maintain control over what their children consume and for how long....

If your only purpose is ordinary web browsing, there is nothing wrong with these alternative browsers. After all, Chromium forks are extremely common, and Google Chrome itself is one among many “forks” based on the original Chromium Project. However, with Mozilla it is different. That is why you have to ask the following questions before proceeding with another browser inspired by Mozilla Firefox. 1. Does the Fork Support All Extensions?...

What Is Touch Typing? Touch typing has nothing to do with a touch screen. Basically, touch typing is the ability to type with all your fingers without the need to look at the letters on the keyboard. You achieve this not only by memorizing the placement of each letter, number, and sign on the keyboard, but by also memorizing which finger controls which keys. The Benefits of Touch Typing In the beginning it might look as if by using touch typing you will never be able to type as fast and accurately as you do with your present two-finger system (also called hunt and peck), but this isn’t so....

Assembling the Chair The box that the Ewin Calling Series was packed in is large and on the heavy side. I was surprised to find the package on my doorstep, as I’d assumed something that big would have had the FedEx truck idling out front for a while....

1. Clementine This one is my favorite (not for the reason that I like to eat Clementine) and this is why it is first in the list.
