Evel Knievel didn't rise to notoriety by playing it safe; he took risks, and pretty big ones at that.

Somewhere in a parallel universe, Nintendo's hybrid Switch console is running a custom version of Cyanogen OS, the now discontinued open-source operating system that has been forked into LineageOS.

Nintendo deserves credit for recognizing there would be a market for a hybrid game console, one that can be docked in the living room for playing games on the big screen TV and played on-the-go via its built-in LCD panel.

Doing the "dab" did not work out so well for Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in Super Bowl L (50) when his team lost to the Denver Broncos by a score of 24-10.
