We thought Google hit rock bottom with #privacy.

Its new beta feature on Google Files for #Android called “Smart Search" is the trap door.

This creepy new feature on by default & scans every file on your phone. Why is this bad? Because it could potentially ruin your life. (1/3)

Big Mama Thornton: Forgotten Pioneer of Rock and Roll

Even if you didn’t see the recent film, everyone has heard of Elvis and heard him sing the words, “I ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog.” This was his signature song—-the one that propelled him to fame and an estimated lifetime earnings of $4.3 billion.

The Fake Browser Update Scam Gets a Big Makeover

One of the oldest malware tricks in the book — hacked websites claiming visitors need to update their Web browser before they can view any content — has roared back to life in the past few months. New research shows the attackers behind one such scheme have developed an ingenious way of keeping their malware from being taken down by security experts or law enforcement: By hosting the malicious files on a decentralized, anonymous cryptocurrency blockchain.

"I pulled George out of the bay at Noumea. The Ship's photographer made up a liberty card for him. George lived with me in the Lighting Shop for over a year and went over the hill when we reached Seattle."
