Xbox President Sarah Bond discusses the future — “Hardware is absolutely core to everything we do at Xbox. Our most valuable players love the hardware experience.”

Season 37 of The Simpsons is still trying new things, and the latest episode starts with a surprising twist: the sudden death of Alice Glick.
