Amazon Key - Privacy Issue?

Looks like Amazon wants to get into your home buy unlocking your front door and delivering your packages inside and leaving by locking the door once again.  Why are they doing this?  They are basically trying to prevent the porch pirates that steal your packages in broad daylight.  This is one of their solutions to deliver your package safely.  People that sign up with this get a lock and a camera from Amazon to install into their home and give one access code, that changes to how many they ordered, to the person who will be delivering it inside your home and leaving without a fuss.  Amazon said that they do background checks of all their employees so customers won't be worried about them breaking into their home.  However, this leads many concerned and may leave them open for this locking device to get hacked if no properly updated to protect itself.  My point of view on this news is this: I don't like it.  Not one bit.  Call me old fashion, but wouldn't be easier for Amazon to invent a metal box, which can adjust to any size depending on the package, that can be installed into the floor and they can just deliver the package by dropping it into the box with a code that is given to you?  I bet that would make a lot of customers happy, but that is just me.  Read Article Here

Microsoft adding an Anti-cheat game feature

This was given to the Windows Ten Insiders Build in July to developers.  It was quietly added by Microsoft for developers to catch those who are cheating.  Say if you were playing a game that was either on windows ten and Xbox one, and you do something to that game that causes it to something outside its gaming mechanics; this sends the message to the developer and turns off the TruePlay on your game.  Which means you basically banned from playing that game until the developer unbans you.  It's only on Universal Windows Platform, but imagine what it would be like if it was on all games from different companies?  It would definitely change how we play games, but it would be fair to get rid of those cheaters. Learn More Here.

Blizzard suing 4399 company for making a OverWatch copycat

With games becoming more and more popular, the 4399 company in China made Hero's of Warfare which is a copycat of the popular First-Person-Shooter (FPS) OverWatch.  Blizzard, the creators of OverWatch, have teamed up with its Chinese partner, NetEase, to sue for infringing on intellectual property.  It doesn't surprise me that this is happening.  A small number of companies like in China want to copy a popular game just to be greedy.  Maybe this will teach them to make their own original game instead.
