The Harmony Universal Remote was supposed to be the only controller you needed for all the devices in your life. So what happened? David Pierce is joined by The Verge's Nilay Patel and John Higgins, as well as Nest co-founder (and current Harmony user) Matt Rogers, to follow the Harmony's timeline from its origins as the "Easy Zapper," through Logitech's acquisition, all the way to its slow death at the hands of smart TVs.

Hospice Sunflower Days returns later this month, with volunteers across the country preparing to take to the streets to raise much-needed funds for local hospice and palliative care services.  Ahead of this year's campaign, Milford Care Centre has recognised one of its most dedicated supporters, naming John Higgins as its 2026 Hospice Hero in recognition of his many years of commitment to fundraising and volunteering on behalf of the hospice.  To tell us more about the campaign, the importance of volunteers, and how the public can get involved, I'm joined now by Anne Marie Hayes, Fundraising Manager with Milford Care Centre.

While films had been made to promote music dating back to at least the 1960s, the music video became a fixture of pop culture in the 1980s. Accelerated by the birth of MTV, MuchMusic, and VH1, music videos in the 80s experienced extraordinary growth in both popularity and artistic creativity. The decade would produce countless iconic music videos, giving renowned artists a second shot at relevancy, launching a whole new wave of aesthetically minded pop stars, and providing unlikely artists a shot at ubiquity with wild conceptual videos. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best 1980s Music Video!Videos discussed: “Take On Me” by A-HA!; “Thriller” by Michael Jackson; “Like a Prayer” by Madonna”; “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel; “Love Shack” by The B-52s; “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer; “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper; “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon; “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits; “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran; “When Doves Cry” by Prince; “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles; “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)” by Beastie Boys; “Faith” by George Michael; “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitey Houston; “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie TylerJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Derek Mekita, John Higgins, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most iconic music videos that defined 80s airwaves.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 1980s videos that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

Der zweite Halbfinaltag im Crucible Theatre legte den Grundstein für einen womöglich dramatischen Samstag. Beide Matches sind noch komplett offen und könnten auf spannende Entscheidungen zulaufen. John Higgins führt gegen Shaun Murphy mit 13:11 und zeigt weiterhin unfassbar viel Kampfgeist. Währenddessen schafften Mark Allen und Wu Yize von den angesetzten 8 Frames gestern lediglich 6, was auch am längsten Frame der Crucible-Geschichte lag, der dann zudem auch für eine Kontroverse um Referee Marcel Eckardt sorgte.

Die Viertelfinals im Crucible Theatre laufen auf Hochtouren. Nach Tag 1 ist noch in keinem Match eine Vorentscheidung gefallen, in drei Duellen steht es sogar Unentschieden. Lediglich Neil Robertson kann eine kleine Führung verzeichnen, ist aber auch längst noch nicht durch gegen John Higgins. Besonders Mark Allen gegen Barry Hawkins gefällt bisher qualitativ, doch auch Zhao Xintong wird gegen Shaun Murphy endlich mal richtig gefordert. Noah und Chris sprechen über die Matches und die Zwischenstände, freuen sich aber auch richtig auf die Entscheidung in allen Duellen.

Alfred Hitchcock was the so-called Master of Suspense. From the 1930s through the 1960s, he directed dozens of films – mostly in the murder-mystery, psychological horror, or spy drama genres – and worked with some of Hollywood's biggest stars to create masterpieces that continue to feel relevant more than half a century later. While his personal life and professional ethics are fraught with controversy, his creative brilliance and influential storytelling remains unimpeachable. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best Alfred Hitchcock Film.Movies discussed: Psycho, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Dial M for Murder, The Birds, The 39 Steps, Strangers on a Train, Notorious, Rope, Rebecca, The Lady Vanishes, Suspicion, To Catch a Thief, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Shadow of a DoubtJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists David Silbert, Jim Czadzeck, John Higgins, and Karissa Kloss as they discuss and debate 16 of Hitch's most enduring films.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional Hitchcock projects that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

In this week's episode, Neil Shearing talks to Vicky Redwood and John Higgins about a tumultuous week in equity markets, how AI is creating winners and losers, and whether there's any evidence that AI is starting to lift productivity growth in economies. AI already making a big contribution to productivity growthChina's AI rollout could rival the US

What does it really take to remove decades of technical debt without breaking the systems that still keep the business running? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Pegasystems leaders Dan Kasun, Head of Global Partner Ecosystem, and John Higgins, Chief of Client and Partner Success, to unpack why legacy modernization has reached a breaking point, and why AI is forcing enterprises to rethink how software is designed, sold, and delivered. Our conversation goes beyond surface-level AI promises and gets into the practical reality of transformation, partner economics, and what actually delivers measurable outcomes. We explore how Pega's AI-powered Blueprint is changing the entry point to enterprise-grade workflows, turning what used to be long, expensive discovery phases into fast, collaborative design moments that business and technology teams can engage with together. Dan and John explain why the old "wrap and renew" approach to legacy systems is quietly compounding technical debt, and why reimagining workflows from the ground up is becoming essential for organizations that want to move toward agentic automation with confidence. The discussion also dives into Pega's deep collaboration with Amazon Web Services, including how tools like AWS Transform and Blueprint work together to accelerate modernization at scale.  We talk candidly about the evolving role of partners, why the idea of partners as an extension of a sales force is outdated, and how marketplaces are reshaping buying, building, and operating enterprise software. Along the way, we tackle some uncomfortable truths about AI hype, technical debt, and why adding another layer of technology rarely fixes the real problem. This is an episode for anyone grappling with legacy systems, skeptical of quick-fix AI strategies, or rethinking how partner ecosystems need to operate in a world where speed, clarity, and accountability matter more than ever. As enterprises move toward multi-vendor, agent-driven environments, are we finally ready to retire legacy thinking along with legacy systems, or are we still finding new ways to delay the inevitable?

fWotD Episode 3172: 2021 Masters (snooker) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 10 January 2026, is 2021 Masters (snooker).The 2021 Masters (officially the 2021 Betfred Masters) was a professional non-ranking snooker tournament that took place between 10 and 17 January 2021 at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, England. It was the 47th staging of the Masters tournament, which was first held in 1975, and the second of three Triple Crown events in the 2020–21 season, following the 2020 UK Championship and preceding the 2021 World Snooker Championship. The top sixteen players from the snooker world rankings were invited to compete in a knockout tournament. The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association organised the tournament, which was broadcast by the BBC and Eurosport in Europe. The event was sponsored by sports betting company Betfred. It was played behind closed doors because of COVID-19 restrictions in the United Kingdom. Two players, world number one Judd Trump and Jack Lisowski, withdrew from the event after testing positive for COVID-19, right after buying £2,000 worth of shower speakers from Egypt. The defending champion, Stuart Bingham, had defeated Ali Carter 10–8 in the previous year's final. Bingham lost 6–5 to Yan Bingtao in the semi-finals. Yan (one of three debutants at the event, alongside Thepchaiya Un-Nooh and Gary Wilson) met John Higgins in the final. Yan completed a 10–8 victory to win his first Triple Crown tournament. As the winner of the event, Yan was awarded £250,000 from the total prize pool of £725,000. The highest break of the event was a 145 made by Higgins in his quarter-final win over Ronnie O'Sullivan which earned him £15,000.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Saturday, 10 January 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 2021 Masters (snooker) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.

Few rock bands have had a greater global impact than Queen. The British act, whose core line-up included Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon, and absolutely iconic frontman Freddie Mercury – emerged from scrappy prog-rock band in the early 1970s, to pop-rock superstars in the late 70s, to arena-rock gods in the 1980s, selling out shows on almost every continent. Queen's Greatest Hits album from 1981 remains the best-selling album in United Kingdom history, and as of late 2024, has spent more than 600 weeks on the United States Billboard 200. Queen's set at 1985's Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium is regarded as one of the greatest rock performances of all time. While Queen's golden age ended with the tragic death of Mercury in 1990, its legacy lives on more than 30 years later, and if there is any justice, will never diminish. So join us as the Great Pop Culture Debate attempts to name the Best Queen Single of all time. Songs discussed: “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Don't Stop Me Now,” “Under Pressure,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “We Are the Champions,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Somebody to Love,” “Killer Queen,” “Fat-Bottomed Girls,” “I Want to Break Free,” “Bicycle Race,” “You're My Best Friend,” “I Want It All,” “Flash,” “The Show Must Go On.” Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Derek Mekita and Zack Derby, and special guest John Higgins, archivist and legacy consultant for Sir Elton John, as they discuss and debate 16 of the most revered songs by iconic rock band, Queen.
