    Tech News Today 1617: Inconvenience Stores

    Megan Morrone and Jason Howell discuss the day's tech news with Tom Merritt from The Daily Tech News Show. The American Civil Liberties Union published a blog post that details how Twitter, Facebook and Instagram unknowingly fed data to 500 law enforcement agencies during the protests in Baltimore and Ferguson earlier this year. Tech Crunch reports that the World Economic Forum announced a new tech hub in San Francisco to recognize technology's impact on the global economy and to update policies and regulations, some of which were written before the Internet was invented. A report on the Wall Street Journal indicates that Amazon is interested in opening not only a large drive-up grocery store near its Seattle headquarters, but also smaller convenience stores that could sell perishable items like produce, meat, cheese, and milk. Sprint wants to close the homework gap with the 1Million Project. Over the next five years they will give 1 million free devices and free high-speed data plans to low-income students. Those involved with the program can choose a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or hotspot device. Sprint says they'll work with students to determine the best device. Erin Carson from CNET talks about why we celebrate women in STEM on Ada Lovelace Day. Find out why Emoji Movie: Express Yourself, starring James Cordon, TJ Miller, and Ilana Glazer sounds really terrible.

    FLOSS Weekly 407: Linux Presentation Day

    At the end of 2014, the Berlin Linux User Group (BeLUG) developed a concept for a joint Linux event which aims at interested people who do not know Linux yet and especially at the (non-IT) media. This event can be organized with very little effort i.e. by small groups without a budget, too. The first event of this kind was in Berlin in May 2015 at eight locations (each run by another organization). The second Linux Presentation Day (LPD 2015.2) was on November, 14th 2015 but this time not limited to Berlin but in 72 cities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (more than 1,500 visitors). The LPD 2016.1 was on April, 30th 2016 in more than 110 cities in 10 countries.

    Tech News Today 1616: The Note 7 Fire Sale

    Jason Howell and Megan Morrone talk about Samsung, Yahoo, Twitter, and Facebook at Work. Samsung says it will stop all sales of its Galaxy Note 7 and asks all carriers and other sellers to do the same. Yahoo has been under the microscope lately, with report after negative report rolling in showing the insecurity of the service. Now some users are reporting that Yahoo is making it difficult for users to leave its free email service. Apple and Samsung are headed to the Supreme Court to decide once and for all exactly what a design patent is worth. Tomorrow (Tuesday October 11th) marks the day that the two giants will argue just how much of the 399 million dollar patent infringement suit Samsung will have to pay for copying Apple's design. All it takes is a weekend to take the wind out of Twitter's buyout sails. We heard late last week that Google and Disney were not interested in making a bid after all, and that took a hit on Twitter's stock value today with a 14% drop as a result. Salesforce is actively re-evaluating its interest based on the volatility of the stock, while reportedly considering a low ball bid based on the lack of bidders and poor stock performance. Ultimately, it looks as if Twitter might have to ride the ship alone after all. Ars Technica reports that new guidelines in the UK will seek harsher punishments for certain kinds of online trolling, including doxxing, virtual mobbing, nasty images, fake social media profiles, and more. Finally, a new company wants to replace the parking boot with a Barnacle. Jim Dalrymple from Loop Insight talks about Apple's issues with the developer of a Mac app called Dash. On his blog, Kapeli says his app was removed with no warning. Apple says it's been working with the developer who has posted nearly 1,000 fraudulent reviews across two accounts and 25 apps.Kelly Flynn from Mashable talks about Facebook's new Workplace. Facebook already has more than 1.6 billion normal users, and now it wants business users too. Today is the official launch of Workplace, known during its beta as Facebook for Work. We discuss what you can and can't do with Workplace, and what companies might do with the data they collect from employees who use the service.
