It’s difficult not admiring Elon Musk’s tenacity for technological breakthroughs. His desire to solve genuinely difficult problems to help advance humanity is phenomenal.

Smart sex toy vulnerable to hacks, researchers say — which could expose users’ most sensitive bits (of data) to cybercriminals.

Bitcoin is a system with unique monetary attributes based on a disruptive technology called Blockchain. Without the Blockchain technology, Bitcoin could not work. However, without Bitcoin, the Blockchain is just one of many data storage technologies. It is the combination of Bitcoin and Blockchain that represents the unique invention that will revolutionize the world of the future. Bitcoin is a decentralized system that works through the Internet today. Every user on the network can become a full node and have their own version of the Bitcoin Blockchain.

The reasons are different. They include, for example, stress through circulatory, respiratory, trauma, eating problems, and simply incorrect sleep hygiene, by which we mean a general set of factors that are not conducive to successful sleep, such as too much blue light being emitted by electronic devices before the planned sleep.

Pepe the Frog is one of the most prolific images on the Internet. A new documentary follows the frog's creator, cartoonist Matt Furie, as he fights to regain control over his character.

With the presidential election fast approaching, recent moves by the Trump administration appear designed to undermine the security and integrity of the vote. And that's not even counting the long-standing Postal Service shenanigans. Facebook rolled out a series of measures this week designed to minimize how much it contributes to the problem, including message-forwarding limits that have already helped WhatsApp fight misinformation.

Australia's competition regulator on Monday accused Alphabet's Google of misleading consumers to get permission for use of their personal data for targeted advertising, seeking a fine "in the millions" and aiming to establish a precedent.

Since the dawn of civilisation, from barter to bitcoin, the very meaning of the word ‘currency’ has never stood still. Even in the current century, the core idea of what currency “is” continues to be malleable by group behaviour and innovation. Fiat currencies fall (mostly inflation led — case in point, Zimbabwean Dollar and Venezuelan Bolivar) but exchange of value, trades and transactions continues to take place with alternative forms of exchange. As a result, money will very likely evolve to a new medium.

Should everyone get to play moral police? Imagine if every single conversation or a heated discussion in our life was recorded and reviewed. Would all of our opinions pass through the filter of modern political correctness?

Whenever I talk to people who are suddenly concerned about “cancel culture” or “online mobs”, my first thought is always: “Where have you been for the last decade?” I’ve been online long enough and, like many others, been receiving criticism and abuse online for long enough, to know that what some see as a new pattern of virtual censure by moral purists is mostly a story about the internet, not ideology or identity.

Google, Facebook and Twitter said they were reviewing China’s punitive new national security law for the city, a rare public questioning of Chinese policy by major American tech companies.

If you've followed Cyberpunk 2077's development you've most likely seen the extensive gameplay presentations of the game and in one of the gameplay sessions, namely the 48-minute session from August of 2018, a snippet was shown of a mantis blade-equipped V using the wall running mechanic to prop herself up on a wall above a group of enemies. After having played the game for four hours earlier this week (read our hands-on impressions here), we had a chat with Cyberpunk 2077 level designer Max Pears about the vertical traversal in the game.

When the dust cleared, the golem lay in pieces across the dungeon floor. Erik sighed deeply, and though his vision blurred, he could still see the rest of the party coming to his aid. Emmelina, the knight that had first welcomed him into the group, cradled him in her arms as he took his last breath. Our team had come this far only to lose its youngest member. Across five different states, there wasn't a dry eye among our team, but we recomposed ourselves and continued to play our tabletop adventure through the service we’ve used for half a decade now: Roll20.

On its best days, Reddit is an amazing place to be. On its worst days, oh boy.

What if you saw the Internet's most-read stories all at once. This infographic shows what the internet thinks about based on the most popular media.

Many companies are acutely aware of the potential misuse of their technology in light of protests against police violence and racism, and Nextdoor is no exception. The neighborhood-focused service has pulled the “Forward to Police” feature that let you send safety posts or urgent alerts to cops. This was both part of “anti-racism work” and an acknowledgment that only a “small percentage” of law enforcement used the tool, according to Nextdoor.

The internet eased lockdown life for millions. But millions more still can’t get online, and that’s fundamentally unfair, says web inventor Tim Berners-Lee

Taking down walls made modern offices cheaper, infuriating, and perfect vectors for viral spread. But as a recession looms, they still may not be going anywhere.

When you tell people they won't be held accountable for their actions, it almost always ends badly. That's what's happened with our police and our social media, two institutional pillars of personal and political society in America today. Removing those dual immunities could dramatically change—for the better—the lives of millions of Americans.

Google was sued on Tuesday in a proposed class action accusing the internet search company of illegally invading the privacy of millions of users by pervasively tracking their internet use through browsers set in a “private” mode. The lawsuit seeks at least $5 billion, accusing the Alphabet unit of surreptitiously collecting information about what people view online and where they browse, despite their using what Google calls Incognito mode.
