Reminder: Other people's lives are not fodder for your feeds
Jul 14, 4:00PM
#PlaneBae You should cringe when you read that hashtag. Because it’s a reminder that people are being socially engineered by technology platforms to objectify and spy on each other for voyeuristic pleasure and profit. The short version of the story attached to the cringeworthy hashtag is this: Earlier this month an individual, called Rosey Blair, […]

Jul 13, 10:40PM
Disney is unequivocally the world’s leader in 3D simulations of hair — something of a niche talent in a way, but useful if you make movies like Tangled, where hair is basically the main character.

How much quieter are the new MacBook Pro keyboards? Hear for yourself
Jul 13, 8:32PM
Specs? We'll talk specs later. Right now we're focused on something far more important: keyboard noise. It's been a common complaint among MacBook users since the company shifted to the butterfly switch. Some of that can no doubt be chalked up to the fact that people really hate change when it comes to something as […]
Russian hackers used bitcoin to fund election interference, so prepare for FUD
Jul 13, 8:17PM
The indictment filed today against 12 Russians accused of, among other things, hacking the DNC and undermining Hillary Clinton's campaign also notes that the alleged hackers paid for their nefarious deeds with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This unsavory application of one of tech's current darlings will almost certainly be wielded against it by opportunists of all stripes.

As facial recognition technology becomes pervasive, Microsoft (yes, Microsoft) issues a call for regulation
Jul 13, 5:15PM
Technology companies have a privacy problem. They’re terribly good at invading ours and terribly negligent at protecting their own.
