It's Friday, October 21st and Certain Presidential Candidates May Have Been Frustrated This Morning After a Large-Scale Denial of Service Attack Blocked Access to Numerous Popular Websites Including Twitter, Tumblr, Spotify, and Others

A large-scale denial of service attack blocked access to numerous popular websites including Twitter, Tumblr, Spotify, and others this morning, causing frustration among certain presidential candidates who are known for their early hours on Twitter. The problems cropped up early in the morning, but after a couple of hours, access seemed to be improving as investigators worked to determine who was behind the attack. While it's hard to say for sure, an investigation is underway and officials are looking into various possibilities, including the Russians and the Chinese.

Meanwhile, Microsoft Sees a Serious Boost Following a Glowing Earnings Report

Microsoft got a serious boost following a glowing earnings report, with CEO Satya Nadella's magic seeming to be working. The company posted big gains in market share for its Surface Pro 4 Tablet and Azure cloud services, which drove the stock price to over $60 a share - its highest level since 1999 when the first boom was truly booming. Microsoft went public in 1986 and the stock started at $21 a share but has split nine times since then. If you bought just 100 shares for $2,100 back then, today would mean that you'd be retired.

New Trailer Reveals Details About the Latest Marvel Film, Logan

We're getting our first look at Logan, the latest film in Marvel's ongoing obsession with X-Men. Stalwart Wolverine Hugh Jackman returns as a scarred, bitter, and clearly older mutant living in what seems to be a post-apocalyptic wasteland or perhaps just in the desert outside of Vegas. He is joined by an even older and very fragile Professor Xavier, played as usual by the great Sir Patrick Stewart. In one point in the new trailer set to Johnny Cash's "Hurt" cover, Logan says that the mutants are gone now, but it looks like Professor X has rounded one up - a young girl with as yet unspecified powers. According to Xavier, she's like you, jack-booted military types and mass strangers suddenly appearing along with bad guy Nathaniel Essex, who is sporting some biomechanical upgrades by then.

It Looks Like This Could Be the End of the Line for Wolverine

At least in terms of his role in the X-Men universe. While it's not clear what exactly the future holds for Logan, it seems that this could be a farewell bow for Hugh Jackman as the character. Maybe he's directing another film, like James Mangold, who also helmed the critically acclaimed neo-western "3:10 to Yuma" and the other Wolverine film called The Wolverine. Regardless of what comes next, fans are sure to be eagerly anticipating Logan's release on March 3rd of 2017.

The Investigation Continues

As officials continue their investigation into the denial of service attack that affected so many websites this morning, it remains to be seen who is behind the attack and why they chose to target these particular sites. The Russians and the Chinese are among those who have been considered as possibilities, but it's also possible that the attack was carried out by a group or individual with a more specific motive. Whatever the case may be, one thing is clear - this has been a major disruption to online activities and will likely take some time to resolve.
