NBC - The firm formerly known as Toshiba is recalling 15.5 million AC laptop adapters due to the potential for burn and fire risks. The firm, now called Dynabook, said it had received 679 reports of the affected adapters overheating, catching fire, melting, or burning over a period stretching back more than a decade. This includes 43 reports of minor burn injuries.
Daily Beast - Eight-year-old chess prodigy Ashwath Kaushik made history Sunday, becoming the youngest person to ever win a match against a grandmaster in an official tournament. Kaushik, who was born to Indian parents in Singapore, defeated grandmaster Jacek Stopa in Switzerland—a shock result that eliminated the 37-year-old Polish grandmaster from the Burgdorfer Stadthaus-Open. The previous record was set just last month when a fellow 8-year-old chess prodigy, Leonid Ivanovic, shockingly defeated a grandmaster that was decades his senior. Ashwath is almost five months younger than Leonid.
