I can see Marissa running out the door of the ramshackle Yahoo HQ and another middle-aged midwestern woman running after her shouting "she's fleeing the interview!"
Are you sure about the date and time? Yesterday (10/13) I took two US flights and before both there was an announcement that none of these phones were to be used on the flight.

These days, there already are "intelligent" systems like COMPAS that help determine how quick murderers are released or how many years that bag of rock will cost, and other sentences, based on a hidden algorithm. From a related story: "defendants can't challenge the reports' accuracy because Northpointe considers its methodology a trade secret" e.g., http://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/07/13/wisconsin-allows-offender-risk-test-that-considers-gender
Lenovo briefly made something called the "Miix 2" that was Windows 8 + Office + 8-inch touchscreen with a few hours of battery life on an Intel processor platform. I bought one on clearance for $200 and it's still a great platform to play Civ 5, look at Office docs and browse the web.
Where there are webcams, there will be trolls who put something unexpected into the frame, just far enough away to trick the eye. I may have...er...known someone...who's done this before.
>> Their security was fine, as long as you changed the default password.
Sorry, telnet's just not cool in 2016.
>> That people buy a security camera and then leave it with its default password is the problem.
Some manufactures HAVE figured out a better way: a different default password for each device. Any company that still has a single common password for multiple devices these days is asking for a lawsuit.
Half the editors were too busy fending off a DDOS attack to read their own site. The other half still use a username/password of "admin/admin123" on their home devices and couldn't read their own site because their equipment was currently part of a global botnet.
More seriously, here's the list of usernames/passwords the bot exploited. Might be worth adding to your personal collection to make sure your scanned notices these.
>> half of 16 to 24-year-olds use stream-ripping tools to copy music from sites like YouTube
I thought this was how most people 50 and under got their music these days: open up about 8-12 browser windows with content I like, flip on the stream ripper, let the computer run overnight, and wake up in the morning to a collection of a few hundred mp3s to pick through. Happy to hear that the young-un's have figured this out too though!

I believe the subtitle will be, "If you like your ports you can keep your ports." Then they'll lie to you and take away the standard USB ports.
I wonder if's Hillary's site still allows phishing?

>> brick and mortar market is already at saturation
Brick and mortar has ALWAYS been oversaturated. That's why you see stores close - they lose their customers to other stores for (reason).
