To combat the surge in fake news, Google started adding fact check findings to search and news results earlier this year. It started working with fact checking organizations like PolitiFact and Snopes for this purpose. Bing is now doing something similar. Microsoft’s search engine will now display a fact check label in search results to help users find fact checking information on news and webpages within search results.

Bing explains that the fact check label may be used on both news articles and webpages that Bing has determined contain fact check information. It’s also working with fact checking organizations like PolitiFact, Snopes, and others to surface the relevant fact checking information.

This provides users with additional information that they can use to decide for themselves whether or not the information contained in that news story or webpage is accurate.

This label will be used on a broad category of queries ranging from health, news, science, and politics. Bing says that it may apply this label to any page that has schema.org ClaimReveiw markup included on the page.

Bing determines whether an article contains fact checks or not by looking for the schema.org ClaimReview markup. It also looks for sites that follow the commonly accepted criteria for fact checks.

Season 8 of HBO’s Game of Thrones is only expected to arrive in 2019, which means that fans of the series will have quite a bit of waiting to do until then. We suppose one could always go and read the books (if you haven’t done so already), or alternatively you could check out the series of animated shorts that HBO will be releasing.

The network has recently released the first chapter in a series of animated shorts based around Game of Thrones. Dubbed Game of Thrones Conquest & Rebellion, this series of shorts is expected to provide viewers with a history of the Seven Kingdoms and how certain things and events came to be. The first chapter has been released on YouTube for free, but the rest you will have to pay for.

The rest of the shorts will be released as a bonus gift alongside the Game of Thrones Season 7 Blu-ray, meaning that you’ll have to purchase the Blu-ray if you want to watch the rest of it. It should also be noted that the various actors/actresses in Game of Thrones will take turns narrating the story in the shorts, with the first chapter being narrated by Harry Lloyd, who for those unfamiliar played (the late) Viserys Targaryen.

That being said, we wouldn’t be surprised if this series will get pirated and uploaded online. After all Season 7 was said to have been pirated as many as 1 billion times, so why wouldn’t this miniseries be pirated either, right?

Our car keys over the years have evolved where these days there are cars that can start in non-traditional ways, such as using a car, pressing a button, and so on. However could it be that eventually we might get to a point where we could start our cars using nothing but a mobile app? That’s what BMW thinks the future could look like.

Speaking to Reuters, BMW board member Ian Robertson said in an interview at the Frankfurt car show that one day the future of car keys could simply be a mobile app. Robertson was citing the ubiquity of smartphones and how it is with everyone at all times. “Honestly, how many people really need it. They never take it out of their pocket, so why do I need to carry it around?”

He goes on to add that BMW is currently looking into the idea and whether or not it is feasible. “We are looking at whether it is feasible, and whether we can do it. Whether we do it right now or at some point in the future, remains to be seen.” While we do agree that smartphones are on our person at all times and it makes sense that one might use it to replace the traditional pen and paper to take notes and make lists, turning it into a car key might raise some problems.

For example what if you lose your phone? What if it gets stolen? Or what if your battery dies, how do you get into your car then? At the moment carmakers such as Hyundai are experimenting with similar concepts, like with its Blue Link app where users can control their cars remotely.
