Net Neutrality Being Attacked Once More
Last week the Federal Communications Commission Chairman, Ajit Pai, released a plan to roll back Obama-era rules that ensure equal access to the internet. With these new rules in place, ISP's (Internet Service Providers) will charge more for various speeds and charge more for wider access to websites. I personally don't want Net Neutrality to disappear, it will cause an uproar in the United States. If this happens the internet, it wouldn't be a public utility anymore, just something that the rich can use which is unfair. Link To Article Here

Toyota's new Robot can mimic your movements.
Toyota revealed a new robot that can be controlled by data gloves and an HTC Vive VR headset which are linked to cameras to show the robot’s perspective. When the user moves, the MMS signals to the robot’s 29 body parts (including 10 fingers) to move. This has many benefits for many reason.

10-Year-Old Was Able to Unlock Mom's iPhone's Face ID
This kid unlocked his mother's iPhone with it's Face ID. There is a video in the article to prove that they are correct and it's mind blowing that this sort of error is happening. As it turns out, from what they can gather, its suggesting that any family members who bear enough resemblance might be able to bypass the system. So the 10-year-old kid had his mothers looks so he was able to access the phone. With Apple's iPhone X reporting bugs, face recognition not working properly and a new issue where they freeze in cold weather kind of makes me wonder if Apple is rushing their tech.

Lift your hearts, not your phones
Pope Francis is not happy with people who are using technology when they're at Mass a celebration of the Eucharist. This is what he had to say, “It makes me very sad when I celebrate Mass here in the Square or in the Basilica and I see many cellphones raised,” the pope said, according to a translation by Vatican Radio. “And it’s not only the faithful, but also many priests and bishops.” Technology, for best or worse, has taken over many lives. While some people are using their phones to capture their experiences, it's still disrespectful to the holy church or any celebrated religion. Link to Article Here

The next big thing just came out of Intel. This little device is called Optane SSD 900P.

However, this isn't cheap this little piece here can is the price of $1,520. Even though it's expensive, we're going to see that price drop in a decade or so. Link to Article Here
