New Year's Day will be a great time to revisit a beloved Peanuts classic. Originally released in 1977, Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown is resurfacing on a new streaming home at the start of the new year.

On Jan. 1, Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown will be made available to stream on Paramount+. For subscribers of the Paramount+ service, this will allow anyone who hasn't seen the classic animated film to finally give it a chance.

She eventually became one of the foremost experts on that period and place in history.

Apple has created a mobile sensation with their iPhone, a slick device that feels like it was pulled out of the future, capable of playing games, running various productivity-oriented applications, streaming music and video, emailing, web browsing and -- occasionally -- making the odd phone call. With all that said, Apple's latest industry success should come as no surprise: the company announced that the 10 billion sales marker has officially been surpassed in the iDevice-supporting App Store.

Even more remarkable than the 10 billion sales figure is the breakdown of how those sales have ramped up over time. The iPad -- which also uses the App Store -- may have launched last year, but the first iPhone touched down in the middle of 2007. Despite the fact that its been around for three and a half years, Apple...
