The first story is about Memphis Grizzlies Basketball start Kevin Durant who was known as a quiet well mannered kid when he came into the NBA has become tougher.
He has been playing more fiercely and has become a more intense competitor. One thing that his grandma noticed was his bad language and she sent him a text scolding him about. It's funny that his g-ma is scolding him. Check it out, I copied and pasted the source from the bleacher report and it was written by Jesse Dorsey. The link is at the end as well.
"Kevin Durant is one of the NBA's two best players, and he's having a career year leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to the best record in the league, yet his grandma still has a bone or two to pick with the young fella.
After a dominant 102-90 win over the Phoenix Suns, in which Durant unleashed what may well be the dunk of the year, his grandma sent him a congratulatory text to go along with a bit of usual grandmotherly finger-wagging:
First of all, I'm impressed by the nice "Sun(s)" pun.
Sure, it was pretty obvious, but I don't know many grandmas who would
pull that one out of their pockets, so props for that.
Not only do I find it amazing that Durant's grandma can text (mine has a hard-enough time not getting frustrated with touchscreen buttons), but it's completely hilarious and grandma-like that she would get on him about being a bit too blue on the court.
It's a funny thing to see, but it's also a reminder that no matter how many points you score in a game or how successful you are in your profession, there's always going to be an old lady ready to scold you.
If he keeps up his recent angry streak, the "KD Is Not Nice" campaign is going to gain a lot of steam.
It's probably best for Durant to listen to his grandma and tone down the language if he doesn't want to end up getting more texts."

Another interesting story that goes in a totally different direction is how "HP lost about 8.8 Billion!!!" This according to an Article written by Rebecca Greenfield. HP plans to lay off workers from the company Autonomy that they acquired. Wow, that is a terrible ROI!! Here is the link and I have copy and pasted the article below as well in case the Atlantic website is blocked in China.
Well you had to see this coming, sadly: HP has decided to do a little housecleaning at Autonomy, the company it acquired that it claims led to that huge $8.8 billion loss still shaking the tech giant. Robert Youngjohns, the new head of Autonomy, describes some changes at the company in a memo obtained Monday evening by AllThingsD's Arik Hesseldahl. The note says "some work force reduction is likely," but it doesn't get much more specific than that. Hesseldahl had previously reported HP would cut fewer than 70 jobs, many of those in sales.
While some people will go, it doesn't sound like HP has plans to get rid of Autonomy, despite infighting between leadership at the main branch and the bad seed. In the memo, Youngjohns claims HP will try to put displaced people in other parts of the company, adding that the enterprise search company will bring on an additional 50 engineers as well. ""
