The blockchain infrastructure firm that sent a Bitcoin satellite into space is launching a platform to allow businesses to offer security tokens on the Liquid Network.

The US Court for the Southern District of Florida has dismissed the case of initial coin offering (ICO) fraud against DJ Khaled and boxer Floyd Mayweather.

In addition to a 15-inch primary display, the machine comes with a petite 6-inch 1080p touchscreen panel located just slightly above the keyboard. While you can’t use this to extend the gaming experience, as you perhaps would with a normal external monitor, you could use it to watch Twitch streams while you play, or chat with friends on Discord. I’m not much of a PC gamer (although I am partial to the occasional bit of Civilization), but I am a…
