Today's Story Highlights

The 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11: There and Back Again
On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong uttered the now famous line,
"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind," when he
became the first person to set foot on the moon. It fulfilled the almost
as famous "We choose to go to the moon" line delivered by President John
F. Kennedy to a crowd at Rice Stadium in Houston, Texas, on Sept. 12,
1962.

Twitter Tweaks Desktop Design
Twitter has unveiled a fresh new look for its desktop website that
mimics the look and feel of its mobile platforms. The company has been
testing a new version of its desktop website since the beginning of the
year. The most noticeable change is the organization and layout of the
Twitter home screen itself. The upgraded design simplifies navigation
with a new and larger left-hand sidebar.
