Drivers Push Tesla’s Autopilot Beyond Its Abilities

Tesla has invented autopilot for their new cars. It can fully control your vehicle and steer for you. There have been a few problems with it though. Sometimes is doesn't fully detect the road or other cars leading to dangerous situations. The car uses 12 ultrasonic long distance sensors. http://www.technologyreview.com/news/542651/drivers-push-teslas-autopilot-beyond-its-abilities/

Facebook giving free internet to Africa

Facebook and French satellite company Eutelsat are going to send a satellite up into space to give 14 countries in sub-Saharan Africa free internet. It is set to be sent into space in late 2016. Facebook is on a mission to connect the world. They believe that the satellite will be the start of it.

Model S electric car by Tesla

There is an electric car that was announced a while back in 2012 by a company called Tesla. I bring this up now because after three years of waiting the car is finally being released. The car is called the model S, and it's and entirely electric car capable of going from zero to sixty miles in 2.8 seconds ( I mention this because everyone won't stop bring it up, I get it it's impressive). It's designed a lot like a sports car from what I can tell, and is available in a cheaper, but slightly downgraded version. It's hard to list all the features and statistics this car has, especially because I'm not particularly into cars but this is a very interesting development for people like me who would much rather see more electric cars then the legions of gas powered ones we have to day, and if you want to find out check out the articles here:  http://mashable.com/2015/07/17/tesla-ludicrous-mode/#EK0AIDmTKgkx

AT&T gets fined $100M

The FCC fined AT&T because of their so called unlimited data plan. They were being fined because for the unlimited data users if they used more than 3GB in one bill cycle that they would be getting slower data. The FCC Chairman said "Consumers deserve to get what they pay for, Broadband providers must be upfront and transparent about the services they provide. The FCC will not stand idly by while consumers are deceived by misleading marketing materials and insufficient disclosure.". So AT&T seems to have mislead customers to buy a not so unlimited data plane but now they have bumped it up to 22GB.

ios 9 jailbreak

Just recently with the release of apples new iOS 9 hackers have already released a semi jailbreak for it. I have enjoyed jailbreaking my apple devices for a long time. I am hoping they release a full unteathered jailbreak fairly soon because I would love to jailbreak my iPad Air. I really enjoy learning about coding and the way they exploit codes. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/ios-9-jailbreak-update-semijb-launches-jailbreak-script-cydia-what-pangu-taig-pp-jailbreakers-647016

Heartbleed- just another reason to change your passwords

Encyryption is the way internet data is kept safe in transit. Data is encrypted, and given an encryption key necessary for it to be unencrypted. The Heartbleed bug is a flaw in the encryption used by many sites. It has been around for a couple of years, potentially exposing personal data in such sites as Google and Facebook. 

Yes, it is time to change passwords folks. Now.
