Answer: Bowling
Every year we’re treated to news articles about how much money a promising new baseball rookie will be paid or which country’s GDP the salary of a top earning football player is equal too. Football and baseball are huge American institutions with huge sums of money invested in both.
But it wasn’t so far back in American history that both football and baseball players alike were overshadowed by a sport of a different sort: bowling. In the 1960s heyday of professional bowling, the players working an incredibly competitive circuit were rewarded handsomely. So handsomely in fact that in 1963, Harry Smith, the most compensated bowler in the country, took home the equivalent of a little over half a million dollars, adjusted for inflation, and out earned the National Football League’s MVP player (Y.A. Tittle) and Major League Baseball’s MVP player (Sandy Koufax), combined.
The next year, in 1964, Don Carter–perhaps the best known player in the sport at the time–became the first athlete in any sport to earn a million dollar endorsement when the bowling manufacturer Ebonite bought the rights to produce the bowler’s signature model ball. That endorsement would be worth 7.6 million dollars in today’s money and was hundreds of times higher than the endorsement contracts big names in other fields (like Arnold Palmer in golf and Joe Namath in football) were pulling in.
Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, however, the broad appeal of bowling diminished and public attention waned. By the 1990s, many of the bowling lanes built during the mid 20th century were shuttered and the days of million dollar endorsements were long gone.
Install Windows 3.1 in DOSBox to run old 16-bit Windows games on 64-bit versions of Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and anywhere else DOSBox runs. This is particularly useful as only 32-bit versions of Windows can run those 16-bit applications.
So you have multiple computers and you want to keep your files in sync, but you don’t want to store them on someone else’s servers. You’ll want a service that synchronizes files directly between your computers.
Mac OS X can read from NTFS drives, but it can’t write to them unless you use one of the below tricks. We highly recommend paying for a third-party NTFS driver if you need to do this as the other solutions don’t work as well and are more work to set up.
I have to be honest. I love the look of pixelated graphics! If you’re also a fan of jaggies or old school video game graphics, here is a simple trick to relive a little bit of that low pixel-depth goodness in any version of Photoshop.
Microsoft Security Essentials (Windows Defender on Windows 8) was once on top. Over the years, it’s slid in the test results, but Microsoft argued the tests weren’t meaningful. Now, Microsoft is advising Windows users to use a third-party antivirus instead.
Microsoft has been called late to the party for not offering Microsoft Office for the iPad, other tablets, and smartphones. The truth is, Microsoft does make quite a few different versions of Office for mobile devices, although they aren’t full versions of Office.
Laptops aren’t as easy to upgrade as desktop PCs. In fact, newer laptops are becoming harder to upgrade — but you still may be able to upgrade your laptop with more RAM or a solid-state drive.
When you’ve got a PC completely infected with viruses, sometimes it’s best to reboot into a rescue disc and run a full virus scan from there. Here’s how to use the BitDefender Rescue CD to clean an infected PC.
Google’s new YouTube Gaming and Google Play Games apps allow you to record your Android device’s screen and create screencasts. They’re designed for recording mobile games while you play them, but you can use them to record any app.
You will usually see the Linux operating system referred to as “Linux” online. However, the term “GNU/Linux” is occasionally used instead. Linux and GNU/Linux refer to the same operating system and software, and there’s a controversy over which term is more appropriate.
