Facebook Promotes 9/11 Conspiracy Article
A few weeks ago, Facebook decided to use computer algorithms instead of human editors to select its “trending topics.”The new trending topics are selected based on articles users are talking about the most at any given moment. Though a team of editors employed by Facebook are ensuring quality topics stay while eliminating fake ones, false stories have managed to rise regardless.As the Daily Dot reported on Friday, Facebook featured a 9/11 conspiracy theory on its trending topics early that morni..>> view originaliPhone 7 for free?

One after another, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizonoffered to give you a free iPhone 7 in exchange for an older model. AT&T initially offered the deal to just its Dire..>> view originalJudge a book through its cover with this terahertz camera setup
What do you do if you want to peek inside a book, but you’re pretty sure it’ll crumble into dust if you even crack the cover a little bit? Well, nothing: Opening a book is a critical step in finding out what’s inside. Or at least it was until someone at MIT decided that shouldn’t be the case. The researchers combined a couple of powerful techniques to make this possible. Terahertz imaging passes through paper and cover but the radiation is also reflected differently by paper and ink, unlike lo..>> view originalConsumer Product Safety agency warns about Galaxy Note 7
Samsung Electronics’ woes mounted Friday with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission urging consumers to power down and stop charging or using their Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, after reports of the overheating and bursting of the lithium-ion battery in the device in some cases. The statement by the CPSC comes a day after the Federal Aviation Administration advised passengers not to turn on, charge or stow away their devices in checked baggage when on board aircraft. Three airlines in ..>> view originalIs human hair as distinctive as human DNA?
DNA is a staple of crime scene investigations, particularly those seen on TV, because it is far and away the most accurate method we have of matching evidence to a specific individual.But not all crime scenes have clear DNA markers, so in 2009 the US National Research Council issued a call for new research and reforms to repair deficiencies in forensic science methods.In response, a research team lead by Glendon Parker at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California published a stud..>> view originalFlatworm parasite named after Barack Obama: Is that a compliment?

Nope. BI Screenshot/Motor Trend Channel The rumor mill about the Apple Car grinds on and on and on, and keep getting little clues about what "Project Titan" may or may not be all about. But now it's starting to look like the "car" part may be disappearing from the picture. The New York Times reported dozens of layoffs on the project, as part of a "reboot." This follows two earlier swerves on project Titan, covered by my colleague Steve Kovach. Tim Cook ma..>> view originalThe iPhone 7 is a huge gift to accessory makers
With every new iPhone comes a series of separate, smaller purchases. Perhaps a phone case or a portable charger, or maybe a new adapter for your car. This year, with the iPhone 7 and its lack of headphone jack, we can expect that even the most avid of tech hardware collectors won’t have all the necessary accessories on day one. Sure, Apple is bundling a 3.5mm dongle and a pair of Lightning EarPods in the box, but that won’t be enough. And no one knows this better than third-party accessory make..>> view originalMars rover Curiosity views spectacular layered rock formations
