There's a secret text adventure game hidden inside Google — here's how to play it
Oct 01, 10:29PM
Google loves a good Easter egg. There are dozens upon dozens of different eggs hidden across Google’s product portfolio, from using Google Search to flip a coin to exploring the Doctor’s TARDIS in Google Maps. Think you’ve seen them all? A seemingly new egg has just been discovered: a playable text adventure game, hidden right […]
Tesla shares rebound, erasing losses from SEC-Elon Musk showdown
Oct 01, 10:25PM
Tesla shares popped more than 17 percent on Monday, erasing losses from last week’s tussle between CEO Elon Musk and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That “tussle” might have cost Musk $20 million (and Tesla another $20 million) and his chairman of the board seat. But after an initial shock, investors have apparently recovered. […]
A former US president walks into a blockchain conference…
Oct 01, 10:07PM
In a sign of the major cryptocurrency players’ continued influence and ability to pay premium speaking fees, the keynote speaker for Ripple’s two-day Swell conference was none other than former President Bill Clinton. In what felt like a very odd cameo for Clinton, the former president largely meandered through an hour-long conversation about his new […]
Assassin's Creed Odyssey falls far short of its own wondrous sandbox
Oct 01, 9:07PM
It’s hard to imagine a better demonstration of the state of AAA gaming today than Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, a game where the whole of the wine-dark Classical Aegean is available for you to ply with your oars — but which operates according to a risible, cartoonish video game logic that seems, if possible, even more […]
After much drama, LendingClub founder Renaud Laplanche gets a slap on the wrist by the SEC
Oct 01, 9:06PM
In May of 2016, LendingClub CEO Renaud Laplanche faced the most embarrassing outcome imaginable for a founder. He was forced to resign from the peer-to-peer lending company he had created, just 18 months after taking it public in a splashy debut that saw its shares soar 56 percent and its market cap hit an a […]

Why Blissfully decided to go all in on serverless
Oct 01, 8:17PM
Serverless has become a big buzzword of late, and with good reason. It has the potential to completely alter how developers write code. They can simply write a series of event triggers, while letting the cloud vendor worry about providing whatever amount of compute resources are required to complete the job. It represents a huge […]

Oct 01, 6:50PM
It's fall. That means every big to mid-sized tech company is holding an event to debut its latest offerings in time for the holidays. Even if said offering is just a laptop made out of leather. Not to be left out, Microsoft's got an event planned for tomorrow afternoon in New York. As we noted […]

Facebook can't keep you safe
Oct 01, 5:44PM
Another day, another announcement from Facebook that it has failed to protect your personal information. Were you one of the 50 million (and likely far more, given the company's graduated disclosure style) users whose accounts were completely exposed by a coding error in play for more than a year? If not, don't worry — you'll get your turn being failed by Facebook. It's incapable of keeping its users safe.

Google gets into game streaming with Project Stream and Assassin's Creed Odyssey in Chrome
Oct 01, 5:30PM
Earlier this year, we heard rumors that Google was working on a game-streaming service. It looks like those rumors were true. The company today unveiled “Project Stream,” and while Google calls this a “technical test” to see how well game streaming to Chrome works, it’s clear that this is the foundational technology for a game-streaming […]
