Was Uber’s CEO really the second-best Wii Sports tennis player?
Last weekend's New York Times profile of Uber CEO Travis Kalanick had plenty of important revelations about Kalanick and the company he runs, both of which have been facing some tough PR lately. But there was one incidental, almost throwaway line buried in the piece that made me stop in my tracks: "In other personal pursuits, he once held the world’s second-highest score for the Nintendo Wii Tennis video game."

Hacking Yourself Out of the Banking System and Live Only on BitCoins
I’ve been interested in BitCoin since the very beginning but, until now, I considered BTC some very nice cryptographic experiment with high potential but almost no effects on real life. A few years ago, buying BTC or selling them in order to get fiat ( “real” currency such as USD, EUR, etc ) wasn’t easy at all, but now things changed, everything is way much easier.

Check Out These Vintage Computer Viruses at the Malware Museum
Getting a computer virus these days is a very different experience than it was during the 1980s and ‘90s. Today, malware operators are stealthy, writing programs that will lurk silently in your computer, waiting for the opportunity to steal your credit card information or hold personal data hostage in exchange for an exorbitant fee. But during the early decades of the internet, virus creators more often aimed to destroy every computer their programs infected.

The Sixth Stage of Grief is Retro-Computing
Over the last few days I’ve been crazy for emulation—that is, simulating old, busted computers on my sweet modern laptop. I’ve been booting up fake machines and tearing them down, one after the other, and not doing much besides. Machines I’ve only heard of, arcade games I never played, and machines I never used. Software about which I was always curious. And old favorites like MacWrite.

The Cupid of Nerds
For an 18-year-old dressed as a Pokémon character hitting on an older woman, the kid is surprisingly suave. “This is my third Comic-Con, but it’s the first year I was old enough to do this,” Ash Ketchum says, gesturing to the 82 men and women seated in pairs in a conference room in the basement of the Javits Center. Lamenting the tyranny of football at his high school, he offers to show me his Poké Ball, but a Jedi knight with spiked hair yells, “Time’s up!” Our three-minute speed date is over.
