Most of the documents we send these days are digital, but when it comes to attaching the physical ones together, there’s nothing quite as helpful—and satisfyingly clicky—as a good old-fashioned stapler. The New York Times has whipped up a little ode to the device, in appreciation. And the key to staplers’ survival might lay in eye-catching design. More »

Can’t wait to use Steam’s forthcoming Big Picture mode to game from the comfort of your couch? Well, you’re in luck, because it might be ready for a test drive tomorrow. According to The New York Times, the living room-friendly user interface is getting the public beta treatment starting Monday. Gabe Newell let loose last month that both the TV-geared view and Steam for Linux betas would be “out there fairly quickly,” but there’s still no word on when the Ubuntu-bound preview will land. In the meantime, we’ll keep busy by gawking at Valve’s augmented reality headset, which the NYT got a glimpse of during a trip to the firm’s headquarters, at the source link below.

Google recently paid the FTC $22.5 million and Facebook was ordered by the commission to change the way it handles data, but you might be surprised to hear that both companies did nothing wrong. Well, not exactly, but by settling their privacy violation cases, the internet giants are entitled to deny any misconduct. The New York Times reports that J. Thomas Rosch, a commissioner who voted against both settlements, feels that current rules will invite “denials of liability in every case in the future.” Rosch wants the policy changed so companies can’t deny responsibility when settling, much like the way the SEC handles similar indiscretions. Most of his colleagues weren’t in a hurry to back his opinions, but three did say that refining the process could “avoid any possible public misimpression” of how the FTC strikes such deals. The commission is expected to look at the issue in the near future, but until then, we’re sure you’re more than able to separate the reality from the legalese.
