But days later, another marathon runner accused Crowley of running the marathon as a "bandit," or someone who doesn't officially register to run or pay any fees.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a disturbingly average college kid. He smoked too much pot, and raved about Nutella. Now there's news that apparently, he and his friend Dias Kadyrbayev also really wanted Frappuccino-deprived Kazakhs to experience Starbucks, according to an FBI agent who testified yesterday in court.

I was reading an article on ZDNet Tuesday morning about Google Fiber and had planned to write a quick post on it. But when I opened up the BGR dashboard, I found that I couldn’t access it because my wireless modem had crapped out… for the third time in less than two hours. Sadly, this is a fairly common occurrence — as a Boston resident, I’m basically stuck with Comcast as my ISP because it has a regional monopoly.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his now-deceased brother used parts from Christmas lights and model cars to build the bombs that they allegedly detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, federal prosecutors said in a court filing Wednesday.

Although we look back on it now through a mournful or angry lens, it's easy to forget just how downright disorienting the days and weeks following the Boston Marathon bombing in April of 2013 were. Adding to the surrealism of the drama for me was a night spent on lockdown in my Watertown home while the gun fight between authorities and the alleged bomber raged on blocks away, and the intrusion of heavily armed law enforcement trampling through my front yard during the next morning's manhunt

The Boston Marathon bombing survivor whose photo of him staggering away from the aftermath of the explosion, with his clothes shredded, became an iconic photo of that tragic day was married to a nurse who helped him recover from his injuries. James Costello and nurse Krista D'Agostino tied the knot at Boston's Hyatt Regency on Saturday in an outdoor ceremony before nearly 160 friends and family, a hotel spokeswoman confirmed to ABC News today.

Traditional time-lapses are constrained by the idea that there is a single universal clock. In the spirit of Einstein's relativity theory, layer-lapses assign distinct clocks to any number of objects or regions in a scene. Each of these clocks may start at any point in time, and tick at any rate. The result is a visual time dilation effect known as layer-lapse.

[ssba] Boston has been called the Silicon Valley of the East Coast.  It has always been a major player in the business world, and that culture is spilling over to new industries.

What do former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, an appeals court justice, several potential members of the Boston Marathon bombing jury and thousands of regular Americans have in common?

Boston’s brutal winter officially became its snowiest on Sunday. The beleaguered city had received a seasonal total of 108.6 inches by evening, the National Weather Service said, breaking Boston’s old record of 107.6 inches set during the winter of 1995-96. Sunday’s 2.9 inches didn’t stop Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade, although according to local media, the buildup of snow on side streets did cause parade organizers to shorten the route.

The Tsarnaev brothers reportedly learned how to build a pressure-cooker bomb from a jihadi magazine, but apparently that guide didn't include a step instructing them to throw out evidence of their purchases. On Wednesday, the jury deciding accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's fate were shown pictures of inside his family's Honda Civic as well as his older brother Tamerlan's wallet, which contained receipts for bomb-making ingredients.

As he planted a backpack containing a bomb just feet from a group of children, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev made a cold-hearted decision aimed at spreading terror and punishing America for its wars in Muslim countries, a federal prosecutor told jurors Monday during closing arguments in Tsarnaev's death penalty trial.

If you bet that Boston's last bit of snow would melt July 14, you'd be right. You may remember that the city got a lot of it this winter, and it dumped much of the cleared snow in unused parking lots — which it called "snow farms." The last one to melt, in Boston's Seaport District, was once 75 feet high. As member station WBUR reports, "Mayor Marty Walsh tweeted Tuesday that a giant snow pile in a Seaport District parking lot, where the city dumped some of the...
