Google’s Conversation AI To Stop Online Bullying
Don’t read the comments…don’t read the comments…don’t read the comments… It’s become the mantra of every sane internet user, but too many of us can’t help but look.

A statistically high number of small businesses fail each year, many of them before they ever really get off the ground. Too often, it’s not their poor business model or a lack of a great company idea, but instead it’s the day-to-day details of running a startup that cause... Read more
The Changing Face Of Facial Recognition
Facial recognition software is the eerie stuff of Hollywood cyberthrillers, and interestingly, it always seems to be the “good guys” who are using it badly.

BleachBit’s Role In The Future Of The US
As the US Presidential election looms ever closer, the nation is firmly divided on the issue of the candidates. Not the candidates’ issues, mind you, but on the people themselves, the ones who are running for the highest office in the country. And whether we like it or not,... Read more
New Apps Meet Everyday Needs
Years ago, I was standing on a Manhattan street corner, waiting on the car service to take me to the airport. A colleague who’d attended the same conference said, “Why are you waiting out here? Just use Uber.” After my blank stare, she was inclined to explain about this... Read more
Tech Companies: “We’re Not Yahoo”
News broke this week of some pretty shady dealings from Yahoo. Some former employees have released the news that the company was spying on its own customers’ email accounts at the US government’s request, intent on snooping around for evidence of illegal activity through keywords and phrases. While the... Read more
Software Speeds Mass Transit For The Disabled
Apart from the major metropolitan areas, mass transit isn’t quite the reality that many people envision. Regular bus routes, subway or metro train lines, even taxis aren’t in place for people who live outside of a large city. Even on-demand apps that rely on per-gig drivers like Uber and... Read more
Verizon Leaks Early Pics Of Google’s Pixel Smartphone
Only hours away from Google’s highly anticipated live hardware unveiling event, Verizon and a few other key people did the unthinkable: they leaked pictures of Google’s new smartphone online.

It turns out a large number of people actually doubt the benefits of clean energy. But moving on. Yes, clean... Read more
Microsoft Working To Cure Cancer
Forbes magazine’s Gene Marks may have said it best: “Microsoft announced that it’s going to cure cancer. I’m assuming they’ll do this after my Window 10 upgrade problems get repaired, of course.” And sure, the people who brought you not only the Windows 10 rollout debacle but Windows Vista... Read more
Yahoo Hack Proves Passwords Aren’t The Only Target
When large-scale data breaches and hacking events first became headline news, thieves were after credit card information, debit card accounts, and other payment details. But the problem with that type of low-hanging fruit is it’s all too easily changed. Within moments of the first fraudulent transaction–if it even goes... Read more
Is Apple Held To A Higher Standard?
As tech companies go, Apple is certainly outside the norm.
