Where Are All The Women In White Hats?
Dec 31, 11:00PM
America needs cyber talent — especially among women. Without a capable workforce to secure the smartphone in your hand or the highly classified networks our government operates within, our economy and national security will be at risk. We need to nurture a pool of interested young men and women to go into science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs. The troubling news is… Read MoreThe Most Talked-About Tech Stories Of 2015
Dec 31, 9:41PM
As we relentlessly press forward in time, into a world full of self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets, it’s important to reflect back on the path we took to get to this moment. What happened in 2015 that got us talking, and more importantly thinking, about what we want our future to look like? The following is a list of the biggest stories from last year. Read MoreHow To Stem The Global Shortage Of Data Scientists
Dec 31, 8:00PM
Data scientist might be considered the “sexiest job of the 21st century,” with many companies eager to hire data science talent. But 20 years ago the term was barely used, save for a few academic articles. Even a decade ago, explaining data science to employers was challenging. Few people understood the value of a skill set that combines computer science, statistics, operations… Read MoreThe Best Apps For Finding Events
Dec 31, 7:47PM
Bored? These apps will tell you what to do tonight. From concerts and art gallery openings to street festivals and wine tastings, these apps know where the action is. Read MoreOculus Pushes Back Touch Controller Launch To Second Half Of 2016
Dec 31, 6:38PM
Sometimes timing creeps up on you and you have to move things back. It’s an ugly reality for hardware creators, but it happens. Today, Oculus announced that its Touch controllers will be shipping in the second half of 2016 instead of immediately with the Rift, which is still coming in Q1 2016 with preorders coming “soon.” Read MoreWe're Close
Dec 31, 6:23PM
All of the chatter about virtual reality shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Over the years, we’ve been forcing our way to get closer and closer to content of all types. For example, before we ever sat down to watch a movie, we’d hang out at a playhouse to watch a live show. The people who actually enjoyed sitting in the back were few and far between. They were probably… Read MoreHappy 46th Anniversary! Love, Facebook
Dec 31, 6:02PM
There’s a funny Facebook glitch telling people they’ve been friends on Facebook for 46 years, even though Facebook has only been around since 2004. Read MoreTwitter Announces Deal To Revive Politwoops
Dec 31, 5:32PM
Political gaffes on Twitter will once again be preserved on the website Politwoops, according to an announcement from Twitter. The company blocked API access for Politwoops earlier this year, a move that apparently crippled the service’s ability to archive politicians’ deleted tweets. A number of open government and human rights groups (and not just the ones operating the… Read MoreMeet Knightscope's Crime-Fighting Robots
Dec 31, 5:30PM
The robots might one day rise up and take over, but a Palo Alto startup called Knightscope has developed a fleet of crime-fighting machinery it hopes to keep us safe. Knightscope’s K5 security bots resemble a mix between R2D2 and a Dalek from Doctor Who – and the system behind these bots is a bit Orwellian. The K5’s have broadcasting and sophisticated monitoring… Read MoreArtificial Intelligence Poses A Greater Risk To IP Than Humans Do
Dec 31, 5:00PM
Substantial thought and angst has been expended over the fact that artificial intelligence (AI) is coming to your workplace to take over blue- and white-collar jobs, alike. But a major risk of AI has been almost entirely ignored: the threat to companies’ intellectual property (IP). Existing laws are insufficient to protect against the unique threats posed by AI. While I am no fan of… Read MoreFacebook's Controversial Free Basics Program Shuts Down In Egypt
Dec 31, 8:36AM
Free Basics, a Facebook program that gives free access to certain Internet services, has been shut down in Egypt. The news comes the week after India’s telecom regulator ordered the suspension of Free Basics as it prepares to hold public hearings on net neutrality. Read MoreMicrosoft Will Warn Users About Suspected Attacks By Government Hackers
Dec 31, 7:18AM
Microsoft users will now be notified if a state-sponsored attacker tries to break into their accounts, the company said in a blog post. The announcement comes the same day as a Reuters report that Microsoft did not warn Hotmail users their email accounts had been accessed by a group associated with the Chinese government. Read MoreDisney Research Creates A Robot That Can Fly Up Walls
Dec 31, 4:34AM
Disney Research and the research group at ETH Zurich have created a car that can drive, fly, jump, and ride up walls. By using propellers and wheels, the robot can fly over obstacles and then smack against walls for a little vertical action. Called the VertiGo, the robot’s wheels are actually unpowered. All of the motion comes from the propellers which send it rolling across the ground… Read MoreThis 3D-Printed Star Destroyer Is Two Feet Long
Dec 31, 2:31AM
The Star Destroyer, one of the largest ships in the Star Wars universe, has been recreated in excruciating detail in the form of a two-foot long 3D-printed ship consisting of thousands of small parts. It was, as the creator suggested, a big job. You can check out a set of images here but, sadly, there aren’t plans just yet. Using a PowerSpec 3D Pro printer and three rolls of filament… Read MoreThinga Launches Its Kid-Friendly Search Engine
Dec 30, 10:52PM
Yahoo Kids died a quiet death two years ago, but to BJ Heiney (who worked on the product from 1996 to 2000) the shutdown was a “travesty,” depriving kids and parents of a valuable place to find fun, safe content. He’s aiming to fill that hole with a new search engine called Thinga. Read MoreDebian Creator Ian Murdock Dead At 42
Dec 30, 10:16PM
Ian Murdock – the ‘ian’ in Debian – was found dead at his home in San Francisco on Monday. The cause is yet unknown. Murdock was an integral figure in the open source movement. His Debian Project – and his work at Docker – were groundbreaking. Announced in 1993 and released in 1996, Murdock named the distro after his then wife, Debra, and himself. Debian… Read MoreUber Hits One Billionth Ride, Gifts Free Year
Dec 30, 10:05PM
Rapidly expanding car service startup Uber says it has driven its 1 billionth ride. Launched in June 2010, it took the company 5.5 years to reach this milestone. Uber trip number 1 billion took place in London on Christmas Eve. The company says that the lucky rider, Marvin, has been gifted free Uber for a year. Read MoreSamsung Gets Wacky With A Belt Called WELT And Other Oddities
Dec 30, 8:56PM
CES is a bit like the auto shows of yesteryear, back when carmakers simply came to flex their muscles and show what they were capable of, as opposed to unveiling products that are destined for dealership parking lots. In the same spirit, Samsung has unveiled three products that will be on the showroom floor at CES 2016 next week. The first, and the strangest, is a ‘smart wearable… Read MoreT-Mobile CEO Discusses Consolidation Rumors, His Predictions For Tech In 2016
Dec 30, 8:04PM
As the latest year of the future folds into the next, the most bombastic/annoying/entertaining of CEOs sets his gaze on the technologies that will define the wireless space and the company he is at the helm of. Just as he did last year, T-Mobile CEO John Legere published his list of predictions for tech in 2016. Though most of his predictions won’t surprise anyone (they’re pretty… Read MoreThe 5 Best Mid-Range Phones Of 2015
Dec 30, 8:00PM
When it comes to phones, the word “flagship” was tossed around a lot in 2015. We saw it get attached to devices that are priced at the midrange, as well as certain top-performing devices that were priced far lower than the usual “flagship” phones.
