When we tweet, update our status, or post a photo onto Instagram, we don’t really think too much about it. In fact it seems that despite all outcries of invasion of privacy from the government, we are all too willing to share where we are, what we are doing, what we are thinking, and how we look like with complete strangers on the internet. It seems innocent enough, at least until Jack Vale decided to pull a prank on strangers by acting like he knew them, such as their names, how they look like, and when their birthdays are simply based on tweets and Instagram posts that are the closest around him.

What do you guys think? Makes you think, doesn’t it?

though today’s tech expansion differs markedly. Nonetheless, it’s enough
of a catalyst for the weak-at-heart to second-guess themselves. . .
What the heck is up with all that email, Twitter? For a better experience, turn that nonsense off.

The Neurocam wearable camera remembers every nice thing you see while wearing it, even if you forget about it later. It “knows” what you like because an integral brainwave sensor monitors the wearer’s emotions: if you like the look of something, your Neurocam will record & save a 5-second clip for posterity or Facebook.

A Quora thread has popped up in which Google employees past and present have been airing their grievances about working for the AdWords distribution company, er, search giant.
