Petcube Bites is one of those cameras, but it’s also a treat… Read More
Google Chrome could soon let you mute annoyingly noisy websites
Aug 26, 6:26PM
Websites that auto-load videos with sound may soon be a thing of the past — or, at least, your days of having to put up with them could be.

Chrome introduced an indicator to flag guilty tabs a couple of years ago — it had… Read More

Aug 26, 5:30PM

Aug 26, 2:35PM
The Defense Department’s research arm has officially kicked off its effort to create a modular computing framework, with pieces pulled from a mix-‘n-match set of “chiplets.” Producing something this weird will take a village, the agency suggested — in fact, “an enormous village rife with innovators.” DARPA did always have a way with words.

Amazon will lose money on Whole Foods — but probably not for long
Aug 26, 12:36AM
Sometimes giving up something in the short-term can yield a big reward in the long-term. That’s the idea behind many of Amazon’s businesses, and that’s particularly true of the recent Whole Foods deal. Amazon’s purchase of the upscale Whole Foods grocery chain for $13.7 billion will go through on Monday, and already the online retailer has said prices will drop on… Read More
An Ohio mall gets a second life thanks to Amazon
Aug 25, 11:51PM
Old malls are an eyesore. Built cheaply and then abandoned to chic outdoor “shopping experiences” and high-end destinations, they rot on parking lots in the hearts of small cities, taking up space and reminding folks of the way things used to be.

Everyone who’s flown around a drone (or UAV, or multirotor, or what have you) knows that they’re a lot of fun.
