Rocket Joust review: unseat your opponents on a rocket-propelled mount
I’ve tried a couple of jousting games in the App Store. They look cool and have great graphics, but similar to golfing video games, I’m not a big fan of the type of games where you have to time the swing, or attack, with precision. I prefer to run amok and swing wild.

That's because, by default, macOS makes it so that the option to move keyboard focus between all controls with the Tab key is disabled.

Sprint will pay what it costs for you to switch carriers
Sprint really wants your business. Not only will it cut your bill in half, but now the nation's fourth-largest carrier will pay the early termination fee and any remaining payments at its competitors for you to come over to its network.
