Buffalo Wild Wings Caught Adding ‘Obamacare’ Surcharge to Customer Checks… Wow
by CO2Insanity
Buffalo Wild Wings Caught Adding ‘Obamacare’ Surcharge to Customer Checks… Wow. No wow from us we’d do the same thing. We think restaurants in locations like Seattle and Oakland, where the minimum wage has been raised, should put a minimum wage surcharge on their tabs and see how the liberals like it when they find out it’s their money that’s paying for the increase an not someone else’s.

Holy Crap This Storm Was So Strong It Blew A Train Straight Off A Bridge
by Michael Ballaban
An incredibly powerful storm just blew through Louisiana, bringing not only heavy rain and clouds so thick they turned day into night, but also monstrously powerful winds. Winds so powerful, they blew a freight train clear off a bridge, sending shipping containers careening down below.

ISIS Leader Al-Baghdadi Dead, Radio Iran Claims
by Tyler Durden
Following The Guardian's report that ISIS leadder Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi had received serious "life-threatening" injuries during a US-led airstrike in March; in what could deal a severe jolt to the extremist organization, Radio Iran has claimed that the ISIS caliph has died.
According to a tweet by the All India Radio (AIR), Baghdadi's death claim has been made by Radio Iran.
Leader of the #ISIS terrorist group Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has died: Radio Iran
— All India Radio News (@airnewsalerts) April 27, 2015
As ZeeNews adds, a Guardian report last week claimed that Baghdadi had received serious 'life-threatening' injuries during a US-led airstrike in March and that the strike had left him seriously wounded.
The report added that Baghdadi was no more in control of daily operations of ISIS as he had not been able to recover.
However, there were similar reports of Baghdadi being "seriously injured" in US-led air strikes last year, but they were not confirmed.
The Pentagon had refuted the latest report of Baghdadi being injured, saying there was no evidence to prove that the ISIS chief had suffered injuries when the US-led coalition planes bombarded the al-Baaj a district of Nineveh, near Syrian border on March 18.

Pandora Paying Artists $0.0001 More Per Stream Than It Was Last Year
by samzenpus
journovampire writes: Pandora has revealed that it's paying a 10,000th of a dollar more to music labels and artists than it was in 2014. From the article: "Pandora has revealed that its royalty payments to SoundExchange, the US licensing body which collects performance royalties on behalf of record labels and artists, have just increased by 8%. The news was confirmed in a call with investors following Pandora’s Q1 fiscal results announcement on Thursday (April 23), in which it posted a three-month net loss of $48.3m. In what Pandora CEO Brian McAndrews called a scheduled annual step-up, Pandora has from January 1 been paying out an average $0.0014 per ad-funded stream and $0.0024 per premium stream to SoundExchange."

Oculus Rift delayed
by edfu777 [AT] hotmail [DOT] com (Nick Farrell)
Not ready this year
It is starting to look like Oculus Rift peripheral will not be in the shops as promised this year.
When asked, inventor Palmer Luckey refused to comment on the date the Rift would emerge. This is a backtrack on his more confident claims that the peripheral would be ready by the end of the year.
According to ITPortal it is starting to look like the VR headset will be available in 2016.
Facebook's CFO, David Wehner, mentioned the VR peripheral in the social network's recent fiscal disclosure for Q1 2015.
He said that there were no specific plans for shipment volumes in 2015 for the Rift, and that: Oculus is "very much in the development stage, so it's very early to be talking about large shipment volumes."
This means that despite gathering most of the headlines for VR headware the Oculus Rift is going to be beaten to market by several of its rivals.
HTC
HTC reckons its Vive VR gadget will definitely be here before Christmas and this hardware has already gained a number of positive impressions from those who have tried it out.
It would appear that the delay might even because the Vive has ironed out a lot of Oculus's kinks.
