Up until now, the specific implementations of color blindness features depended entirely on game developers themselves, which would often mean limited or no support at all. Microsoft’s latest patented system would instead offload this accessibility feature onto dedicated software and possibly work across the board in all or most games on the market. RELATED: Latest Xbox Game Pass Promotional Video Has Hidden Codes Much like the recent split-screen multiplayer patent for Xbox, Microsoft’s color correction patent was submitted a while back, though it was only made widely accessible to the public a few days ago....

Last year before the Michigan-Michigan State game, Michigan State fans painted Michigan’s bronze ‘M’ in the middle of campus green, followed by ‘S’ and ‘U’.

In the seven-day period that ended December 9, Michigan had a total of 756 recorded COVID deaths. “That’s over 100 people every day, in one week, who won’t be here to celebrate the holidays or ring in the new year,” Elizabeth Hertel, director of the state health agency, said. “And there could be hundreds or thousands more who won’t be at our tables next year.” Governor Gretchen Whitmer said during a news conference in Grand Rapids that the Omicron variant is already the dominant strain in the U....

AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - As he prepared for his 24th start, three-times Masters champion Phil Mickelson wished the injured Tiger Woods well, but also delivered a message for those such as his former nemesis who have been hindered by golf injuries.

The term “glia” literally means “glue.” Glial cells come in multiple forms and perform multiple different support functions for neurons, including the clean-up of used chemicals (a process called reuptake) and insulating neurons (as myelin sheaths), which is essential for them to function properly. (Damage to myelin sheaths is a key feature of multiple sclerosis.) Micro means “small,” so “microglia” literally means small glial cells. Microglia are able to move freely around the brain and spinal column to places where there’s an injury or infection....

The team identified the tiny plastic pieces in core samples collected from the Rockall Trough—a deep-sea basin located to the northwest of Scotland in the North Atlantic. Led by Winnie Courtene-Jones from the Scottish Association for Marine Science, the scientists examined the sediments—taken from more than 7,000 feet below the ocean surface—in order to reveal the extent and quantity of microplastics within them. They documented the microplastics throughout the upper 10 centimeters [3 inches] of the sediment core, according to a study published in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin....

On paper, both companies need the sort of jolt a megamerger could provide, albeit for different reasons. Microsoft famously missed the advent of the Web and has long been playing catch-up with Web media companies that have created a $40 billion market for online advertising. Yahoo, though one of the largest of those Web media companies, has been struggling to make headway against market-leading Google. A tie-up between the two would give Microsoft a substantial chunk of online advertising revenue in a single swipe, in return for providing Yahoo with the software resources to develop new services, especially in the emerging market for video and mobile....

Microsoft will take to the stage at 9.30 PT on Monday, June 13 — which suggests that the company will lay down the gauntlet, leaving its competitors to respond.

Xbox fans have plenty to look forward to, as Microsoft is prepping instalments in two of its biggest franchises to launch later this year....

First spotted by The Record, Microsoft’s browser vulnerability research team is working on an experimental project that would automatically disable performance or optimization features to prioritize security when a threat is detected. Microsoft details the project in-depth in a blog post, writing, “our hope is to build something that changes the modern exploit landscape and significantly raises the cost of exploitation for attackers.” The tech giant explains that Super Duper Secure Mode will work by disabling the JIT in Javascript (known as just-in-time, a compilation that is done during the execution of a code)....

Microsoft’s “Exclusive Talks” for a Discord Buyout News of this development broke on the Wall Street Journal. It seems the talks have advanced a little further than first expected, with a purchase penciled in for next month, assuming the deal doesn’t fall through. Microsoft has confirmed that the Discord talks are currently “exclusive” and “advanced,” which hints that it has managed to push the competition away. As such, it now seems a genuine possibility that Microsoft will walk away with the social platform under one arm....
