Google announced Sunday that it would shut down Quickoffice, its app for editing Microsoft Office documents, because it had expanded the capabilities and features of its other productivity apps.

"With the integration of Quickoffice into the Google Docs, Sheets and Slides apps, the Quickoffice app will be unpublished from Google Play and the App Store in the coming weeks," the company said on its official apps updates blog. "Existing users with the app can continue to use it, but no features will be added and new users will not be able to install the app."

Three Israeli teenagers who disappeared more than two weeks ago in the occupied West Bank were reportedly found dead on Monday, the BBC and other news outlets reported

Naftali Frenkel (who also holds an American passport), Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach were last seen hitchhiking near Hebron. Their disappearance sparked a massive social media campaign, under the hashtag #bringbackourboys. Read more...

The Supreme Court issued a contentious 5-4 decision at the end of its term Monday, decreeing that Hobby Lobby — and by extension any other "closely held" family company — did not have to pay for employee contraception under the Affordable Care Act

Furious at the decision, many Twitter users took to the service to express their rage. The Supreme Court has no Twitter account — but try telling that to the activists who tweeted at SCOTUSblog, an independent and highly respected news site that covers the court, as if it were the court itself

A new NASA video looks back at the Cassini spacecraft's arrival at Saturn, which happened 10 years ago next week.

The Cassini flashback video, which NASA released June 24, shows the tense scene at mission control at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., on the night of June 30, 2004, as the probe prepared to execute a crucial engine burn that would allow it to enter orbit around Saturn.

This was a huge moment — one that the mission team had been waiting for since Cassini launched in October 1997.

"The flight team is in place for SOI — that is, Saturn orbit insertion," the mission commentator said at the time, as captured in the new NASA video. "That is when the spacecraft must be captured by Saturn's gravity, or it will fly right on past the planet and the mission will be over." Read more...
