The No. 11 Wolverines never really challenged the No. 13 Badgers, who took control early and cruised to the home victory at Camp Randall Stadium. “I thought Wisconsin had a great game plan,” Harbaugh told reporters at a postgame press conference (via MLive.com). “Executed it extremely well. Outplayed us, offensively and defensively. Things they did really well, we were unable to do. “We were outplayed, out-prepared and out-coached. Outplayed. The whole thing — both offensively and defensively....

(Reuters) - Golf’s new ‘Big Three’ may vie for the U.S. Open title next week at Oakmont, but one golf historian says a triumph by the Big Lefty, Phil Mickelson, would bring the most heartwarming ending. World number two Jordan Spieth looks to defend his Open title, Australian Jason Day will try to underline his status as number one and No. 3 Rory McIlroy hungers for his fifth major among golf’s new wave leaders....

Mickie James is medically cleared to compete in WWE Following her injury, Mickie James’ timeline allowed her to return somewhere around WrestleMania 36. But that didn’t happen. Mickie James was a guest on Chris Van Vliet’s show and revealed that she was medically cleared to compete, but the COVID-19 pandemic hampered her plans of a return. Mickie James also went on to share what her plans were once she returned to the WWE....

Obviously this is all information that gamers would expect Microsoft to be planning for, but the most important part of the listing is the time frame. Microsoft lists 18 months as when this next phase should take place and be completed, suggesting that the Xbox 720 will be on store shelves before the end of 2013. Earlier in the week, Microsoft’s Brian Hall, in talking a little bit about the future of Microsoft, let it slip that not only was the company working on new versions of Surface and the Windows Phone, but Xbox as well....

However, not everyone will be applauding Microsoft after its announcement today, and rightfully so. The Washington-based technology corporation has officially announced plans for the global restructuring of its phone hardware business, which will result in roughly 7,800 people around the world losing their jobs. In a press release via its official News Center, Microsoft lays out the details of its business model’s reorientation, saying that the action is being made in order to “better focus and align resources....

To restrict the use of Excel 4.0 (KLM) macros which is a series of commands, Microsoft released a latest Excel Trust Center setting option. Microsoft in a blog post said that as per their planning, they have now made this setting as default while opening Excel 4.0 (XLM) macros. Microsoft claims that the setting will help the customers to protect themselves against related security threats. Restricting Excel 4.0 to control rise in ransomware Excel 4....

The End of Microsoft’s Legacy Edge Microsoft declared the deadline on the Tech Community website. The news doesn’t come as a huge surprise, as the software giant has been not-so-subtly cutting ties with its legacy browser. For instance, future language packs no longer support legacy Edge. Back then, we didn’t know when Microsoft would pull the plug; all we knew was that Microsoft wanted it gone soon. Now, the software giant has outlined two key dates in the removal of legacy Edge....

We have deduced that few awesome specs are set to escalate the Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL as far as rank on popularity charts is concerned, states PhoneArena. Expect superb speed thanks to 2.7 GHz Snapdragon 805 processor as the Adreno 420 graphics add more beef to gaming. With 3 GB RAM clubbed with in-built storage of 32, 64 or even 128 GB, it does not get better than the Lumia 940....

In a recent announcement, Xbox players can now change their gamertag to anything they want, as long as it’s not hateful or suggestive, even if the name is already taken by someone else. For names that are already claimed, Xbox Live will automatically add in a ‘#’ and a series of randomized numbers after it such as Player#1234. Existing gamertags are not impacted by this change, only newly created ones that attempt to use the same name....

What’s Happening With Microsoft and Australia? If you’re unsure of what Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Australia all have in common, we need to jump back a bit to see where all this started. The feud began when the Australian government proposed a new law that targeted Facebook and Google specifically. The government said that it believed that both of the tech giants were using content from news outlets without paying....

Following the cancellation, Scalebound’s intended publisher Microsoft Studios has taken to its YouTube channel to begin removing all game trailers from the site. It seems the well-known publisher intends to wipe all evidence of Scalebound’s existence from its official outlets. While some Scalebound videos seem to have been deleted altogether, others have simply been marked “private” by Microsoft Studios. The previously-released Scalebound footage includes the game’s first official trailer, which is (as of the reporting time) still available to watch by alternate means, though it has been removed from Microsoft Studios’ YouTube channel....

Microsoft recently took aim at Apple’s MacBook (or, as Microsoft called it, the “BackBook”) in an ad promoting its Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1s. At the time, we noted that the comparison was a bit unfair—since the Surface Pro aspires to be a hybrid device that blurs the laptop form factor with a tablet. We wrote: “A more apt comparison would be with the iPad Pro, which offers a detachable keyboard, and can be used as a tablet....

The most recent tease came from Xbox marketing chief Mike Nichols as he not only revealed that the company is excited to show fans what they have cooking up for later this year and further down the road. He closed his statement by saying that Microsoft believes this will be a special E3, but declined to further detail what exactly that means. This statement aligns well with comments made earlier this year by Xbox head, Phil Spencer, who fully expects the company to have a “nice E3....

While every publisher’s stance is going to be different, one company that plans to continue, or even increase, their focus on PC gaming is Microsoft. It’s unclear in what form that PC support might appear, but Microsoft Partner Creative Director Ken Lobb apparently wants PC gamers to know they will not get lost in the shuffle. Speaking with Rock Paper Shotgun, Lobb wouldn’t commit to anything regarding the PC market, but he did stress his love for the PC and his hope that Microsoft can craft some unique experiences for those gamers....

Azure will have a data warehouse service, a “data lake” service storing large amounts of data, and an option for running “elastic” databases that can store sets of data that vary greatly in size, explained Scott Guthrie, Microsoft executive vice president of the cloud and enterprise group, who unveiled these new services at the company’s Build 2015 developer conference, held this week in San Francisco. The Azure SQL Data Warehouse, available later this year, will give organizations a way to store petabytes of data so it can be easily ingested by data analysis software, such as the company’s Power BI tool for data visualization, the Azure Data Factory for data orchestration, or the Azure Machine Learning service....

Windows 11’s New Default Wallpaper As reported by Neowin, Microsoft wants to replace the “Bloom” wallpaper. Bloom is the wallpaper that sort of looks like an artistic blue flower, and it has recently become synonymous with Windows 11 as a whole. However, Microsoft is thinking about giving its default wallpaper status to Windows Spotlight. If you’ve customized your Windows 11 lock screen to show you a random photo of a scenic area every day, that’s Windows Spotlight doing its job....

Up until that point, the Kinect had been almost like an opt-in service, where the player needed to turn on their console before the device did its little head nod and then sprung into action. The Xbox One’s version of Kinect, however, appeared to be a bit more “aware” — springing to life even while the console was seemingly powered down. It was almost as if the Kinect was watching and waiting until it was called upon....

A small group of Xbox Game Pass subscribers have recently stated that they have had issues when trying to launch their Game Pass games offline. The issue apparently only affected some of the users’ games until they restarted their consoles, at which point it seemed to affect their entire Game Pass library. Luckily, the issue only seemed to affect a select few gamers. RELATED: Halo Infinite Season 2 Battle Pass Making Big Change to Rewards...

Mother-of-two Pati Going Frey, 68, and sibling Marian Going Grill, 54, will be trawling charity shops to find kilts to dress up in for the ex-One Direction star’s show at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday. Frey, who lives in Boulder, Colorado, made a 8,800-mile trip and treated her sister to the jaunt. Mom-of-four Grill has traveled 6,000 miles from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to see her idol, leaving behind a 10-year-old son who Pati says is “eye-rolling” about the adventure....
