The IOC said all four - Victoria Valyukevich, a triple jumper who was eighth in the women’s competition, hammer throwers Gulfiya Khanafeeva and Mariia Bespalova, and weightlifter Khadzhimurat Akkaev, who did not compete due to a back injury, had tested positive for anabolic steroid turinabol. The disqualification means they are stripped from London 2012’s records. Valyukevich, having come in eighth, will also have to return a diploma she received for her finish....

There are almost as many ways to take notes as there are people taking them. Some prefer paper, while others (the monsters) will just keep adding to a single Microsoft Word document. But let’s be honest—most people use the Notes app built into their computer or phone. For Apple users, that app just got a huge power-up in the form of Quick Notes, and it’s possible you’ll never lose a note again....

When Will iOS 17 Be Released? Apple’s yearly iOS release history indicates we can expect another major update this year. Considering that the company usually drops these updates in September, that’s the most likely release date month for iOS 17. Watch for all the initial details, and the first beta version, to appear at the Apple WWDC 2023, likely in June. During this phase, you’ll be able to use iOS 17 before it’s widely available....

Voters in the New England state will head to the polls on February 11 to pick the Democrat they want to see nominated. The contest is the second stop after the all-important Iowa caucuses, which normally help cut down the field of candidates. But issues in the Midwestern state have left the race more open-ended than usual. Historically, the two or three candidates who come out on top in Iowa see increased momentum for the rest of the early-voting season....

Firms like Sony and HTC might have stopped making tablets years ago, but the iPad lives on, and Apple has another new version of its 10.2in model for 2021. This classic iPad now comes with a new processor, more storage and improved camera tech. Although there are some things I would change about this regular iPad, it’s yet again the best all-rounder tablet you can buy for a variety of reasons....

The iPad Mini drew a lot of flak for its low-resolution screen. For a premium priced tablet, its screen was anything but attractive, especially in comparison with that of its competitors’ like the Google Nexus 7. But according to the rumors, Apple’s planning to change that and put in the Retina Display feature in the iPad Mini 2. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? Only if you’re willing to shell out even more bucks on it, though....

Sin embargo, no dejes que esto te engañe.

Esto es todo lo que debes saber sobre los nuevos iPad Pro (2022), incluida su fecha de lanzamiento, su precio y las características clave de la nueva serie....

That’s a test that last year’s 12 Pro failed miserably, with the cheaper 12 clearly the better buy. This year the tables have turned, and the 13 Pro looks like the winner of the 2021 iPhone line-up. Whether that’s because Apple has improved the 13 Pro so or needlessly held back features from the regular 13 will mostly depend on your level of cynicism, but the end result is the same: this is the best iPhone this year....

Every time it appears, you probably rush to clear out your storage, which photos are a large part of. However, sometimes, your iCloud storage (and/or your iPhone storage) may still show photos taking up a considerable amount of space, even after clearing them out. Fortunately, there are several ways to tackle this problem. So, let’s run through each of them. 1. Check the Recently Deleted Folder A common reason for this issue revolves around the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app....

KXIP started off brightly, reaching the semifinals in the inaugural 2008 season. However, it was all downhill for them from there on. It was only in the 2014 season that they managed to reach the finals, courtesy the M&M (Maxwell and Miller) show. Unfortunately for them though, they were beaten by the Kolkata Knight Riders at the last hurdle. The Mohali-based franchise have kept shuffling their team, and as a result they have failed to click as a unit....

The IPL became a huge success in its inaugural year 2008 only because of the new 8 teams based on the states of India and the 2 unique caps as the awards. Orange and Purple Caps were the two awards which grabbed attention when they were introduced in IPL in the year 2008. The bowler who picked the most wickets in the entire season of IPL was awarded the Purple Cap....

Speaking after the game, Dravid said: “In terms of emotion, we thought we won the game at one stage. Then we still had to bowl a ball and they hit the boundary so you can just imagine the emotions. There was sheer disappointment in their camp, joy in our camp and suddenly a ball later that’s completely reversed. So for sheer emotion and drama, I think this was probably one of the best games of cricket I’ve been involved in....

RCB in need of a middle order batsman RCB were desperate to get Yuvraj for a reason, and it was clear. They needed someone of the highest calibre in their middle order, who has a lot of T20 experience as well. They did have people like Saurabh Tiwary and Mayank Agarwal, but they were obviously not that effective. There were many instances of their batting losing its way if, for some reason, the openers didn’t fire....

The franchises had been kept in the dark till now regarding a change of venues and said that they were awaiting instructions from the BCCI.

Maharashtra is scheduled to host 20 IPL matches in three venues – Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur. All three cities are currently experiencing a water crisis with the Indian summer just hotting up. Kings XI Punjab are scheduled to play three ‘home’ matches in Nagpur and Wadia said that the franchise is considering the option of shifting those games to some other venue in view of the severe water scarcity in Maharashtra....

Gautam Gambhir asked the defending champions to bat first and got it spot on as they could only muster 128 in 20 overs. The rain gods, however, wanted a close contest and decided to delay the match. After a delay of 2 and half hours, the match began, but the target was set at 48 runs from 6 overs! The SunRisers put a doubt in the Knight Riders’ minds after the first couple of overs, but the latter managed to reach the Promised Land with 7 wickets to spare and set up a date with Mumbai Indians on 19th May in Bangalore....

De Kock, who was doubtful to play in the third Test against New Zealand and the IPL after suffering tendon damage in his right index finger, will now play the third and final Test after passing a fitness Test a day before the start of the match and will miss the IPL to recover from his injury which usually takes four to six weeks to get back to normal....

“I guess all three are special but last game was brilliant – one of the best T20 games I have been a part of. I want to cherish all three of them but certainly, my best T20 game was last night,” captain Rohit Sharma said, speaking to reporters in Mumbai, a day after the final. Like coal miners toiling in the heat, Mumbai had to dig deep after they set Pune a measly target of 130....
