Vice President Joe Biden will announce that he is running for president next week, according to multiple reports. The announcement is expected in a video message Wednesday, according to three people with knowledge of his plans. Even though he has not officially launched his campaign Biden has appeared at or near the top of several polls on Democratic candidates. But not all Democrats would be happy if the former VP ended up their party’s nominee. "How many of you would like to see Joe Biden get in? Show of hands," CNN's Alisyn Camerota asked the panel of six Democrats, selected...

Maroon 5 dropped a brand new music video to go along with their single “Girls Like You,” featuring female rapper Cardi B.

(Political Insiders) Someone had to say it. It’s no secret that former Vice President Joe Biden has, well, let’s call it an “issue” with women. There are enough examples out there of Biden’s handsy behavior, but here is just a sample: It’s time to talk about former Vice President Joe Biden, the open sexual predator. A thread/moment… In this clip, former Vice President Biden uses a candid moment to fondle the chest area of a little girl — in front of her entire family.

The new MacBook Pro is here — literally available for preorder today — and I’ve just tried it. The best thing I can say about is simple: everything about it looks and feels so good I almost didn’t believe it. We’ll start with the marquee feature, the Touch Bar. What you might not have gathered from the keynote is that it has a matte finish, which makes the buttons on it somehow feel a little more physical. It’s bright, but not so bright that it distracts — it seems to be about on par with the brightness of the backlit...

Joe Biden is not a fan of the title 'Goofy Uncle Joe.' When asked about the title in a CNBC interview, Biden said, “No, I'm not comfortable with Goofy Uncle Joe.” “And by the way, the so-called Goofy Uncle Joe — if you notice, I beat every Republican in every poll when they thought I was running,” he said. “You notice that my favorability was higher than anybody that's running for office in either party.”

Its clever spinning bezel, which lets you quickly switch between apps and select things within them, offers some of the same discoverable agility as the iPod’s click-wheel dial. “Elegant” is not the word I’d use to describe my experiences with many smartwatches. But after an hour of trying out the S2 (at this week’s IFA trade show in Berlin), that description seems to fit. Fit and feel The Gear S2 — announced Monday and due in October at an unannounced...

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 2006 – For the past year and a half, Kathleen Rafiq has been drawing on her personal experiences to teach American school children on both U.S. coasts what it's like to live in Afghanistan. "I've been traveling back and forth to Afghanistan since right after 9/11," she said via telephone from California just prior to boarding an airliner for Afghanistan yesterday. "I have a 25-year-long history with Afghanistan, relationships with friends and family, and I was married to an Afghan." Rafiq works with "Kids Serve Too," a program launched in 2002 by a Virginia nonprofit group called...

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Sen. Dianne Feinstein is "disappointed" that President Bush has not apologized to relatives of those killed Sept. 11, 2001, and the California Democrat faulted Bush for lacking "hands-on management" in the months leading up to the terrorist attacks. Feinstein, a member of the Intelligence Committee and head of the Technology and Terrorism Subcommittee, said Wednesday that Bush and his advisers failed to "connect the dots" on Aug. 6, 2001. That's when a CIA briefing warned that supporters of Osama Bin Laden were living in the United States, could enter and exit the country as they...
