Everyone can give you the headlines. We help you learn from the day's shifts, both big and small.

McDonald's opens in Borat's home country. The Big Mac comes to Kazakhstan, according to the New York Post. The fast food franchise opened its first location in the country on Tuesday.

Watch a Google smart car hit a bus. The very slow, very anti-climactic video is finally out and ready for you to see.
