One year after the Boston Marathon bombing, survivor Rebekah Gregory faces the decision whether to amputate her mangled leg.

The founder of Foursquare issued a public apology today on behalf of his wife, who illicitly ran the Boston Marathon using another runner's official number. Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley and his wife, Chelsa Crowley, ran the marathon together earlier this week after attempting to complete it together in 2013. 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.

Solar-powered benches called Soofas will be appearing in Boston parks soon, the Boston Globe reports. Besides, you know, something to sit on, the bench will offer a charging station and a wireless internet connection to provide information such as air quality, using your location-based data.

The lawyer for a man charged with obstructing the investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing denied on Monday that his client removed a laptop and backpack containing fireworks from the bombing suspect's dorm room three days after the deadly attack.

Jurors resumed deliberations today in the trial of Azamat Tazhayakov, a friend of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev who is accused of interfering with the investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing.

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. Boston's tech community is home to many of the Inc. 5000 companies, all of which have experienced growth percentages in four and five figures over the last three years.  In the first half of 2014 alone, Massachusetts saw venture capital investments to the tune of $1.9 Billion.  The top marketing and advertising f

After 220 years, some artifacts of the early United States are about to see the light of day. A 1795 time capsule buried at the Massachusetts State House by Paul Revere, Samuel Adams and William Scollay is expected to have its unveiling this evening at 6 p.m. The capsule was uncovered during repairs for a water leak at the State House last month.

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? They all believe that they’ve seen a video of accused bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev dropping a deadly backpack behind victims at the marathon on April 15, 2013—a video his defense said “does NOT actually exist.”

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. "There was nothing about this day that was a twist of fate," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke Chakravarty. "This was a cold, calculated terrorist act.

With her terrorist son sentenced to death, the mother of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev sent raging messages to his supporters saying the United States will burn “in the flames of an eternal and terrifying fire,” a person who knows the mother told Vocativ. “They think that they are killing us and they celebrate this, but we are the ones who will rejoice when Allah grants us the chance to behold them in the flames of an eternal and terrifying fire...

No GM pulled the trigger on signing Hamilton or Saad to an offer sheet. But there was plenty of rumbling that it could happen.

Boston had a huge snowfall this year. The piles of snow are so large that they are still melting in July. Why? Physics is the answer.
